The undergraduates arc on their toes

staff without a henriug and it was only
through the Help of influential grad

A few weeks ngo the student body
was warned through these columns that

of the 11)10 football eleven and that the
possibility was that no coach would be

PACKARD TRUCKS AS
GOOD -WILL BUILDERS
Establish Confidence in Delivery Safeguard Hauling Contracts
Lower Transportation Costs
NE of our most successful merchants
says that before buying new fixtures
or equipment he asks himself: "What
will our customers think about it?"
Nothing earns money on the customers'' good
opinion quicker than delivery equipment.
This is just as true ' of a coal yard as it is of a
department store. As true for the hauling con
tractor as the local express company.
X'
T
"
What people think of the Packard Truck is based
upon how they have been served by it.
Packard Trucks have served better because they
were sold to serve.
If a merchant wanted just a truck he rarely got
a Packard. If he wanted a truck transportation
job done right, permanently and at the lowest cost
. you were practically certain to see some Packards
running around with his sign on them.
And so the public have come to believe that
Packard and good service go together.
v
n
Naturally, some business men will praise the
idea of buying trucks on a transportation basis but
will try to beat the Packard method.
It cannot be done.
Nobody has a patent on the plan, but trying to
carry it out with the ordinary motor truck, only
serves to show up the truck.
To make it work to make your truck transporta
tion costs a definite, predeterminate figure, low enough
to meet all competition you must take equally good
engineering design, equal stamina, equal long life
with the Packard Truck.
Everybody knows the Packard reputation.
You've heard about the many Packard Trucks
now running that have travelled more than one
hundred thousand miles.
Which will a business man do ? Pay $3,000 for
50,000 miles or pay $4,000 for 100,000?
Invest an extra thousand dollars to insure
minimum transportation cost or pay out that
thousand in repair bills that were not in his
original estimate?
Anybody can recite the theory of cutting down
transportation costs. The Packard Freight Trans
portation Department can give actual facts and
figures: Their services are available to any business
man by telephone, mail, or at the local Packard
showroom.
