It makes all the extra hours of work required to prepare such a publication worth all the effort, and then some. We are sorry that so many persons who desired extra copies of the edition were disappointed, for though we tried to anticipate your requests for them, we fell far short of supplying the demand. We printed several hundred additional copies of last week's paper, but we have had at least 200 orders that we could not fill and we want to ask any person who should happen to have one or 'too much head start SPEED CRIME APPREHENSION Ninety-eight per cent of stolen cars are now being recovered but not as many thieves are caught. The time now required to get Information phoned to key spots on the highways gives the thieves more copies that they do not want, to advise us so we may aid in getting those papers into the hands or persons who want them.

There can be only one reason for that: Chevrolet trucks offer more of what you want. As the official registration figures keep roll ing in, they keep telling the same positive story about truck popularity and truck value: Again in 1953, for the twelfth straight pro duction year, truck buyers show a clear-cut and decisive preference for Chevrolet trucks. If you're a truck user, this fact is mighty important to you. Why? Well, as you know, trucks are built and bought for just one reason-to do a job. So isn't it logical then that since Chevrolet trucks outsell all others, they must do a better job at lower cost? That's why it will pay you to stop in and sec us before you buy your next truck.
