Our Thanks
For All Your Kind Words
The numerous letters and personally expressed
congratulations received by the Gazette Times
since last week on our special flood Commemor
ation Edition certainly took us by surprise, and we
want to say that we sincerely appreciate all the
nice things that many of our subscribers have
said about our efforts to tell the story of the flood.
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

To the Editor:
I want to congratulate you on

Fleet operators, farmers, independent truckers truck users everywhere
buy more Chevrolets than any other make. 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.
MORE CHEVROLET TRUCKS IN USE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE!
