"Kindly permit the French Prime

"The tribute of admiration you bring

SPEED WAGON
C
The World's Best"
If you did net knew if from your own experi
ence or observation you could net testify te
the truth of that statement, we would net use it
Here is one product that is se outstandingly
superior that it knows no real rival no equal.
Ne ether truck has done, or can de, its work.
Nene has shown the same stamina or efficiency.
Nene has proven equal te carrying its leads
and living as long.
It is literally true that this Speed Wagen will
carry "a pound or a gallon or a capacity lead"
between any two points, quicker and cheaper.
Its range of highest efficiency its greatest mar
gin of economy ever all ethers is from 500 te
2500 pounds.
"A quarter-ten te a ten-and-a-quarter."
But inasmuch as it will cover any route with
no lead, or leaded te full capacity, cheaper than
either a flimsy-light, or an excessively heavy
truck it has proven te be the world's most
economical carrying unit.
The majority in favor of the Speed Wagen is
ever-whelming as evidenced by the fact
that today there are mere than 70,000 in use.
That's mere than-of all ether makes combined
of similar type or size.
Demand is great. Only way te obtain a Speed
Wagen is te order at once.
Delay means disappointment
