OUT ON A LIMB
(WITH BILL SMILEY):
"You're a failure, Smiley," he
told ° me. He said it casually,
but I must admit that I quailed
before the cold, knowing stare
he gave me. It didn't matter
that .he was baggy -eyed, un-
shaven, and scratched himself
like an ape. -I knew he could
see right through me.
*
"Yabbut . . ." I started to
say. Whenever I'm put on the
defensive, I find myself „saying
that. "It's Old -English or some-
thing for 'Yes, but . . .' He
brushed it, aside: -"Yabbut nje
no yabbuts. For years you've
been trying to blame it on
everybradr but -yourself... F..a.ce,
it.. You're- a f allure, -and
know it,"

With a vestige of my custom-
ary dignity, I- drew myself .up
about an inch and- asked him
where the heciche got that idea.
After all, f 'fold him, there's
mea': on the table every day,
nobody has holes in his shoes,
and we' have furniture, a car,
an electric. dryer. We even
have a kitten that may, or may
not, be pregnant.

He just looked at me and
snorted. "You're such a failure

you're buying a truck:
WIrat's the best size for a truck? A truck should only be ,
as big as the job it has to do. Any bigger anct delivery costs
skyrocket, The Volkswagen truck doesn't wriste an inch or
an ounce on useless space. It carries a full 170 cubic feet
of load and has near perfect weight-fo-payload ratio.

• that delivers the most goods for the lowest cost. Volks:'
wager's delivery van has di ar greater capacity than a
standard half -tori' fruck yet it costs much less to run. No
other truck can say this.
Which truck is easiest to load? The truck that's al/
doors -Volkswagen. The VW is the only truck with side
and rear doors as standard equipment.You can walk right in,
through the double side doors from the curb; or lobd and
unlOad through fhe rear door. Delivery time is cut down.
What's the best 'engineered' truck? The one with the
most sensible design. The Volkswagen delivery. van has
an all -steel, all -welded unitized body that provides extra
strength without excess weiglitTzThe air cooled engine

Which truck has the best Service Plan? Volkswagen

Do you have a patio? No. You
don't even have a television set!

of course, but II, didn't have to
