. Delivering fresh bread daily to millions of "T ,

llgjb - Atlanta makes stern demands on its trucks. ' , .
iiPiPl 'Z:&s ' ' They're on the go 10 hours a day and average
SimF' 7 stops along their routes. And, according i -t

Chevy's gas-saving ability pointed up by
Univac. With a huge fleet and an annual
gas bill that runs into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, it pays the Southern
Bakeries Company to keep an accurate
check on costs. They use a Univac Com
puter to be 100 sure of top economy.
And the machine offers proof that Chev
rolet delivers 20 better fuel economy
than any other trucks in their fleet.
Whatever you do, you'll do it at less expense
with a Chevrolet light-, medium- or heavy-duty
truck. Everything these trucks offer is aimed at
fattening your pocketbook. New versions of
famous valve-in-head 6's nurse a gallon of gas
like nothing you've ever known in trucks. Big,
tough V8's for every truck series have the shortest
stroke design the savingest design of any com
parable engines. Durable chassis components hike
up profits by holding down maintenance costs.
See your nearby Chevrolet dealer I'
Chevrolet delivers huge hods of gravel
miles from the road; cuts downtime,
boosts profits. This Series 100 tandem,
working for the Conti Sand & Gravel
Company, takes a terrific pounding as it
hauls huge loads of gravel miles off the
road into rocky California forest land.
Yet the owner reports only one hour of
downtime in 20,000 miles. That's typical
Chevrolet stamina!
