BROCKWAY TRUCKS.

SOLVE TRANSPORT PROBLEM. Supposing you are a business man, for whom motor trucks solve the problem of transport in your big concern; supposing you are the director of a dairy company, the manager of a carrying company, a city or a county councillor interested in good roads and i lie transport problem, or asimraing that you are connected with any business in which the problem of transport is vital, then the story of the Brock way truck is also vital to you. You peruse catalogues and advertisements of motor trucks. All claim superiority, and you are no further forward than before. It is actual experience you want, and can you afford to pay for it? Few New Zealand businesses could afford an elimination test to ascertain which truck best suits them, but even if they could, it would not be necessary. The performance of Brockway trucks under the most trying conditions, in the service of some of the biggest manufactories and transport concerns in America solves the problem for them. Why did the Adams Express Company, with a 24 hours day service, under the most severe traffic conditions imaginable, select Brockways? Because after an elimination test covering six months, ten Brockways were the only trucks left in, and Messrs Adams sent an order first for twenty-three more Brockways, and then for one hundred and ten Brockways—a world's record for any single order for strictly commercial motor trucks. Elimination tests made the Brockways the only trucks in the service of the Carnegie Steel Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company, and made the United States Government choose Brockways for a connecting link between the post office and the mail train. It was because of these tests that Brockways were so largely selected for use, and because of these tests that the General Motor Company of America selected Brockway as their only truck agency. Here 'in New Zealand this experience has already been availed of Brockways are in the service of the Wellington City Council, of Messrs E. W. Mills and Co. (Wellington), and of Mr A. Broadbclt, Feilding. Mr Broadbelt has one two-ton truck in his service, and will take delivery of a four-ton truck shortly. Finally, it is because of the confidence engendered by tins experience that Messrs Bett and Baylv selected this truck as being the outstanding truck for the work of this and any other district. What is the reason for the Brockway being able to establish such a reputation by performance? Because the best chassis engineers could devise is driven by the best motor procurable for the work—the Red Seal Continental. Messrs Bett and Bayly have a two-ton and a four-ton Brockway truck on view at their garage in Rangitikei Street at the present time, and will also be able to supply trucks in U ton and 35 ton sizes. The firm will be Phased to demonstrate Brockways to intending purchasers, to build suitable bodies for individual requirements or m hydraulic or mechanical hand lilts to the trucks as required.*
