According to registrations (obtained from sources sub-
scribed to by the industry and considered to be reliable)
truck users in every single province bought more Chevrolets
again in 1952, than any other make.
And so year after year Chevrolet's popularity proves
beyond any question of doubt' that Chevrolet and only
Chevrolet provides the sturdy` durability, trouble free per-
formance and long low -upkeep life that means real satisfac-
tion to truck users. _
Yes, it is difficult to Imagine more convincing proof of
Chevrolet's superiority, for such clear-cut and overwhelming
preference can lead to but one conclusion:
Chevrolet trucks must be better, must enjoy solid aii-
.1.
vantages over other trucks. Such preference must. rest on
a firm foundation of good, sound value. And, of course, it
docs -- as owners of Chevrolet trucks can testify.
Chevrolet trucks are widely known for their ability to
hold hauling casts down. They are known for their power,
their stamina, for their exceptional gad and oil economy, as
well as their ;low-cost upkeep, And on these same counts.
you can expect 1953 Chevrolet trucks to be even
outstanding.

Chevrolet trucks offer you. Stop in and see us
