The best insurance for safe delivery service under all conditions

is the Ford one ton truck. The improved braking system assures quick stops on slippery roads and the absence of excess weight prevents a tendency of skid. The truck is easily handled in con- gested traffic and narrow streets. It stands up under rough travel of interior roads and broken pavements. Bodies to suit your in- dividual requirements can be built here at moderate cost.
