For the second time within four months, Graham Brothers announce a substantial reduction in price.

This reduction is in line with previous assurances that the truck buyer will always benefit equally with Graham Brothers by every economy effected through increased production.

Now first in the world as exclusive manu. facturers of motor trucks, Graham Brothers are able to make this second reduction without the slightest sacrifice of quality.

In fact, the truck to-day is better than ever.. before-and this new price will seem remarkably low to those who know what Graham Brothers Trucks will do.
