In this advertisement we show two Commer Trucks which work under unusual conditions. We show them because the final value of a motor truck rests upon the actual work done. The trucks illustrated he have delivered the sturdie.t sort of service under most trying con- ditions. Many other Commer Trucks have seen seven years of service and over two hundred thousand miles of duty. The facts given under the pictures here form a commercial story de- cidedly more fascinating than the average novel, and we can show a good number of pictures and records of other Commer Trucks just as interesting and just as full of meaning as these. How significant is the fact that the Commer Truck not only makes good on city streets but under the trying conditions confronting it in such places as Singapore and Uganda. The Commer Truck has made good on the six continents. Not one of the seven year old Commers is out of successful service to-day. Not one Commer Truck has ever worn out. A common performance for a 4!4-ton Commer is six miles on a gallon of gasolene where the run is straight ahead. We guarantee one quart of oil will suffice for one hundred miles.
