Announcing The MACK Truck
Although the Mack Truck is not new to experienced truck buyers, we are pleased
to announce that we have secured the agency for this splendid commercial vehicle
for Albany and vicinity. There are other good trucks on the market, but the Mack
is the gold standard of motor truck value. What the Mack has accomplished other
truck builders have tried to attain. - .
Full-powered, like a giant locomotive,-the Mack truck sweeps over the world's highways. It follows" no
prescribed track but moulds its routes according to the demands of transportation.
First manufactured twenty years ago, the Mack introduced the motor truck idea in the United States.
Practical years of experience have followed with refinements in design that have produced the most
endurable performance truck on record. In Los Angeles, a Mack truck has traveled 50,000 miles with
an actual cost for repairs and parts of less than $20.00.
Mack capacities:!, I, 2, 3, 5 1-2, 7 1-2 tons. ,

been building motor cars there has been a con
stantly increasing demand for the output of his
factories. And in spite of the fact that the Over

business car designed to meet the needs for quick,
economical, comfortable transportation which

am confident Uveriand 4 will
