Amongst the regulations embodied in the proposed Transport

As we please again-

Oh! What a fate.

Destined to walk

Between chalk

Marks hard, white and plain--

Pity our state.

Bullied by cops,

All our hops

Skips and nimble jumps -No more you'll see;' Dull and depressed Gone the zest For the fender bumps Ricked with such glee.

Freedom is dead, Never to stray

On our way

Those who said

Brave and gallant things" Sneering at slaves

Can, with a glance,

Make us behave.

So we must tramp

While the stamp

Of despair, sunk deep,.

That this age Should convert to sheep Free-walking jays:

For nineteen years, Federal has built trucks-and only trucks with every part a truck part. Federal is reducing haulage costs for business men in all fields of activity where transportation is a factor. Also, Federal's great line of motor trucks----- the greatest in the world-makes it possible to exactly fit the truck to the job. Forty-three chassis, one to 71⁄2 tons capacity, and more than 100 body-and- chassis combinations, offer every business man the right truck for the job.

Come in and let us tell you more about Federal, Come in and “Talk Truck”.
