"The result is embodied in the engineering, design and construction of the Fulton Motor Truck, which has proven its superiority in all parts of this and fourteen foreign countries. "All of the sturdy, 'husky,' exclusive features of design and construction are found combined in no other truck of similar capacity built in this country. "For years I have been associated with some of the largest builders of motor vehicles; they sent me practically everywhere to study motor transportation. "The experience and knowledge which I gained has been embodied in the Fulton Motor Truck. "I took with me in the Fulton Motor Truck Company, men, who as heads of departments, engineering machinery production, etc., I knew in the industry, had long 'made good in their departments with other companies. "We knew that 80 of the nation's hauling can be done and should be done in these days of economy by one and a half ton trucks, so we built the Fulton to that capacity and have concentrated on it. "Fulton trucks are being used in over three hundred line of busi ness and we are sure it will fit your business if you will look into it. "We give it unusual economy by 'triple heating. the gas one of the exclusive Fulton processes that wrings the last ounce of energy out of the fuel and turns it into useful driving power. "We use a five and a quarter inch frame and have built every part in keeping, as a safety factor. "We use the internal gear drive rear axle, applying 92 of (he The internal (etr drive axle Ass come rapidly to the front as the ideal rear axle for commercial purpoaea. The dead weight of the load ia carried on a aolid axle while the power ia applied through an entirely aeparate member. The push ia given to the wheels near the rim not at the hub. This gives far greater leverage and reduce driving stress to a minimum and increases power. I power direct to the rear wheels using a secondary axle for supporting the load and increasing tire mileage. "We rivet an extra cross member on the frame to sup port the drive shaft which operates through a ball-bearing reducing friction and eliminating all 'whip with its de structive wear and tear. "We adopted the most approved type of "honeycomb radiator with a distinctive design that gives 362 cubic inches of cooling surface sufficient for any climate. "We use extra heavy, tempered springs and have adopted a most effective method of taking the stress through two spring leaves instead of just one. "We have the most modern, day-light, saw-tooth factory in the heart of the greatest supply of men and material at the gate-way of the greatest shipping port in the world. "We have sold Fulton trucks to the most discriminating buyers in the world, such as Standard Oil Company, The Texas Company, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, John Wanamaker and hundreds of others who do not purchase trucks until they know they are right. "Therefore we know that Fulton trucks are right they are right .for your business the price is right ($1620) and the operating cost is unusually low (12 to 14 miles to a gallon of gasoline). "You owe it to yourself and to your business to look into the Fulton truck, for there must be a reason why we are today the larg est, exclusive producers of one and a half ton trucks in the country. "Our representatives every where will gladly call on you." t i l lA iXI A v J H si vHl & 17 ttauvatilmia Fulton Motor Truck Company Farmingdale, Long Istad,.N.
