They were furnished, not in
hundreds, but in thousands—both
for the training camps here, and
for service in Belgium, France
and Italy.
The record of those thousands of
camp and army cars is one in
which any owner may feel the
utmost pride.and satisfaction.
Their performance justified the
compliment implied in their
selection by the Government.
The great works in which nearly
three hundred thousand of their
cars have been produced in the
past four years furnished a vast
