Yesiterday we stood in a Danish
cheese factory and watched the
making of the first experimental
batch of Cheddar cheese produced
In this country.
The • sight left us with mixed
feelings.
As agricultural observers _ and
your reporters we knew this was -
red -hot news. lint as three Cana-
dians we also knew we, were wateli-
ing something that may turn out
to b a now !threat to the Canadian'

We gathered from Our Danish
friends that the experiment was
being made to see if it were pos-
sible for Danish cheesemakers to
turn out a Cheddar aeeeptable to
the British in an attempt "to take

Its a fact! Wherever trucks must really earn their way,
wherever costs are figured.down to the last cent — that's
where a 1952 Chevrolet Truck, and only a Chevrolet, fills
the bill! That's true whether your job calls for a sedon

Models for every load -and purpose
Whatever your trucking needs, there's a Chevrolet truck model
suited for your purpose. Whether you're in the market for panel
deliveries, cab -over engines, forward controls or any other style,
you owe it to yourself to see your Chevrolet truck dealer. That's
where yosell find exactly the truck you want. .
Complete range of:wheelbases
and carrying capacities .
The Chevrolet truck line for '52 offers you a wider choice of wheel -
bases, ranging right up to 212". Carrying capacities have'also been
Increased to 17,500 lbs. with 1h 1700 Heavy Dirty series. And all
this extra payload and carrying capacity is yours at amazingly loW
cost. No other truck line -gives you so mucto for so little.
AAP Capacities for every job
The right axle for calif type hauling job — still another reason why
the Chevrolet truck line fets you carry more payload without
overloading. Chevitalet truck axles are deiigned to absorb the
shocks and jolts caused by rough roads'and heavy' loads. What's
more, they deliver_greater pulling power with less engine effort
throughcout'the entire speed range. And there's now a heavier two -
speed rear axle available for the Heavy Duty models. .
