There's only one answer...
Chevrolet trucks
ii
■
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.
t 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.
I 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
see us before you.buy your next truck.

MORE CHEVROLET TRUCKS IN USE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE!
