Each car mndo better tlmo than had ever bo fort been made by any other car, and all cars carried United States mall tho first tlmo In history that trans continental mall has been transport-1 ed by. automobile. Tho first car from San Francisco reached New York in tho remark able tlmo of 4 days, 14 hours and 43 minutes. Tho essox tray, ollng from Now York to San Fran' clsco at tho samo tlmo, mndo tho run of 3347 miles in 4 days, 19 hours and 17 minutes, beating tho best prov- lous tlmo westbound by 22 hours, 14 minutes.

Without it you have no investment. Without it your purchase is an uncertainty. The White Truck has many different values in and behind it, but they all can be summarized in the one word STABILITY. Stability of the Maker: The White Com pany is the foremost truck maker in this country, solidly built up and steadily ex panded, with resources and an organization which makes for continued leadership in the industry. Stability of Pelicy: Since the first White was built, the company has never deviated x hair's breadth from a fixed pelicy: to build trucks that will do the most work for the least money. Stability of Preduct: White trucks have stood up and kept going day after day, year after year, in all kinds of service and under all sorts of operating conditions. There are a few records of 500,000 miles; a number of 300,000 miles; more of 200,000 miles, and many of 100,000 miles, with the trucks still in daily service. Stability of Quality: Regardless of the cost of material, the quality of White Trucks has been unvaryingly high grade. Stability of Price: During the past five years White prices have increased a mere fraction of the average advance in truck prices. Expanded output and steadily im proved manufacturing efficiency have sta bilized both quality and price in the face of increased costs of labor and material. Stability of Ownership: The Annual Roll Call of White Fleets in actual service, list ing owners of ten or more Whites, has no parallel in the truck industry. It is graphic proof of the most remarkable truck owner ship in America; as remarkable for the quality of ownership as for its extent and steady growth from year to year. The Roll Call contains the names of three hundred and fifty concerns with a total of 12,674 Whites. All together there are 3,691 White Fleets, comprising 40,919 trucks, exclusive of single-truck installations. Stability of Service to Owners: White Service facilities have been built up step by step to keep pace with an expanding distri bution of White Trucks. This grpwth has required years of development, and an in vestment of millions. White Trucks are an Investment of recog nized earning power, backed by a responsi ble truck manufacturer with years of suc cessful experience, thousands of trained em ployes, tens of thousands of trucks in active service, adequate capital and a nation-wide service organization. , THE WHITE COMPANY, Cleveland.
