That’s why the very name FEDERAL is a distinct asset to you—»
a real “emblem of efficiency.” Unvarying past performance associ-
ates with FEDERAL Motor Trucks as absolute a certainty of
service as “Burroughs” — “Addrcssograph” — “Multigraph” — do in
their respective fields.

When you by FEDERALS, you buy something more than "speci-
fications”—-something more than a “motor truck.” You buy what
FEDERALS can do J or yon as demonstrated by what FEDERALS
have dor.e Jor othets. You figure in known quantities when you
figure on the FEDERAL.
A telephone call will bring one of these wonderfully efficient Trucks
to your place of business for inspection and demonstration.
