I Th c north Brothers latest and most impressive achievement-the G-BOY! A one ton truck embodying ·entirely new ideas in design and balance and selling at an astonishing price. . Extraordinary purchasing power and v~st production made the G-DOY possible. Largest exclusive truck manufacturers in the world, Graham Brothers buy and build in enormous volume. The price and quality of the G-BOY illustrate the extent to which buyers benefit by this volume and its resultant economies. The G-BOY is the most important contribution in years to the cause of Better Trar.$portation at Lower Cost. A new system of weight distribution effects a revolutionary imp1 vement in balance. The compact wheelbase facilitates ease of handllng and yet affords unusually generous body capacity. The tru~k is gracefully low, with steel spoke wheels and 30 x 5 truck type cord tires. Dodge Brothers engine is the standard power unit, with a new heavy transmission thnt has proved its quality in greater capacity types. The entire truck, in fact, is built to out-live and out-perform trucks costing hundreds of dollars more. Bodie.f for the G-BOY-and for Graham Brothers complete line of Trucks and Motor Coaches-are built in Graham Brothers own factory at Evansville, Jnd.-the most modern plant :>fits kind in America. Whatever your requirements may be, a suitable body is immediately available at an attractive price. CHASSIS $885 I. o. b. Detroit 1 WERS.TED MOTOR CO. 562.
