tries and - way of life. Alaskans
themselves may be amazed at
some of the facts brought out in
the magazine.
Many references are made to
previous Geographic articles in
cluding the society’s expeditions to
the Katmai and Valley of Ten

prevailing winds that carried it
into the upper atmosphere around
the world. The region was later
set aside as a national monument.

daily living and working and many
attractions of interest to futuhe

The time-tested, performance-proved
4-Wheel-Drive ‘Jeep’ Truck
The 4-Wheel-Drive ‘Jeep’ Truck, like all
vehicles in the ‘Jeep’ family, is time-tested
and performance-proved. It has the “go
anywhere” ability to take you over the
toughest terrain, the extra versatility to
do many different jobs.
Before you buy any 4-wheel drive truck
remember this: only ONE has been time
tested over many years, only ONE has
been performance-proved through count
less miles of the most strenuous transport
service. That ONE is the rugged, 4-Wheel
Drive ‘Jeep’ Truck. No other 4-wheel
drive truck even approaches its amazing
performance-proved record. So, why ex
periment or settle for less than the only
time-tested 4-wheel drive truck in its
weight class —the 4-Wheel-Drive ‘Jeep’
Truck that gives you more performance
proved value.
Rugged ‘Jeep’ Trucks are functionally de
signed with time-saving features like
high-skirted fenders and a full-opening
hood that puts the engine within easy
reach for servicing. Put it squarely up to
your ‘Jeep’ dealer to show you what this
performance-proved Truck can do for you.
