A (food motor truck in the means of earn­
ing money but it must be a high -grade,
thoroughly engineered and manufactured
truck.
That ia, because it will do you no good
to earn money through the operation of
a truck and then have to pay all you
make (and probably more too) to keep
the truck on the rood.
At this time you probably are thinking
about how to increase your business for
1920. You must have a truck, or you
must have another ope—on that you
have decided.
