—truck users are buying more Chevrolet trucks
than any other make. That couldn’t be true unless
Chevrolet trucks offered more of what you want.
Already. 1953’s official sales figures tell a remarkable
story of clear-cut and decisive preference for Chev
rolet trucks. But. this is not surprising, for truck users
everywhere are discovering how far ahead of all
others Chevrolet trucks really are.
They are discovering things
like the tremendous new
power in advanced Load-
master engines in heavy-duty
models . . . the remarkable

... the extra ruggedness _____
and
strength of heavier, more rigid frame construction.
And. in addition to all these ads antages, the Chevrolet
line lists for less than any other trucks of comparable
size and capacity. So, before you buy any truck, stop
in and see us.
