adapted for farm, and other use re
quiring accommodations for heavy,
bulky loads and threo express types
are versatile- enough to cover ev
ery field of ton truck haulage.
One of the express bodies fea
tures low sides while another Is of
the canopy top and curtained sides
type. The third is screened) with
canopy top and protecting curtains.
Open and closed cabs also arc pro

about seat affords comfortable rid
ing for the driver and there is
ample room for another passenger.

DurinK the a.st two years the automobile industry and the j
jiublie at large have witnessed one of the most spectacular, yet ?
at the same time soundest and most substantial examples of
company growth and development that has ever been seen. ;:
CHUYSIiEU in these two brief but gloriously successful ,
years has overtaken and passed in production and sales volume, '
many of the industry's leading manufactures of 15, 18 and 20
years experience -and standing.
Today CIIUYSLEU is known and respected in every civilized
land in the world. CHIiYSIiEU standards of performance, dur
ability, economy, comfort and beauty have literally revolution
ized public conception of motor car values.
We plan to give. C1IUYSLEU the sort of representation its
high' position entitles it to. In the near future we expect to
announce arrangements for new and more satisfactory quarters.
We have ordered an adequate stock of parts -and will soon be
in position to render CI1UYSLE1J FLAT KATE SERVICE on
the basis prescribed by the factory. -. .
