Accordingito Chairman of Company Official announcement was made today by John Hertz, chair man of the Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing company, that early in 1M27 they will market trucks of one and two ton capac ity equipped with the famous over-head valve. 6-clyinder Ruick engines and selling at astounding ly low prices. A complete line of these trucks will be exhibited for the first lim; at the New York National Auto ' mobile Show. This news which has so startled the commercial vehicle trade is the logical outcome of the amal gamation of Yellow Truck inter ests with General Motors. "Now. for the first time." said Mr. Hertz, "there is available a commercial vehicle that combines a matchless six-cylinder motor with a chasis that has been de veloped under the most exacting operating conditions known to the transportation industry. These new one and two ton trucks have had the most grueling tests, at the General Motors Proving Ground, under the supervision of General Motors engineers. "They are built to meet present day needs; the six-cylinder power plant insures maximum accelera tion aud flexibility. They are capable of operating at unusually high speeds and the braking equipment insures quick stops. The two-ton truck is equipped with four wheel brakes. "I know of no greater contribu tion to commerce today than a one or two-ton truck with all the flex ibility of a; passenger car, equip ped with a vibrationless motor, and with brakes that insure to traffic the greatest factor of safe ty that has ever been devised. Our engineers are convinced that the industry has never known the equal of the Buick power plant for high speed trucks. "The casual observer knows of the deteriorating effect of vibra tion on both chassis and body.

"Obviously, all ihese advant ages, coupled with low prices are made possible by the General Motors purchasing power.'- re search and testing faciiii it---. and huge scale production, "The marketing of the -Yellow-cab trucks equipped' with the Buick six cylinder motor has long been a vision with nie and we are happy to have been able to bring this about in the interests of pro viding more efficient and econom ical motor truck transportation.
