What the Federal Motor Lorry has done in War

80 per cent. of Federals served the Allied Governments and five departments of the United States-Service, and the remaining 20 per cent was devoted to essential industries.

Federal Lorries are now available for distribution to any part of the world. For dependability under the worst possible conditions of road and load, for spoed and for economy in operating, the Federal has proved itself unrivalled.
