What for
modern truck for your job !
If you’re in the market for a new truck, you can start your
"shopping tour” right on this page! The salesman shown here is
pointing out modern features that increase efficiency on the job
and give you more truck for your dollars.
So take a moment to follow him around in this on-paper demon-
stration. Then you'll know what to look for—and you'll find it
right here, at your Chevrolet dealer’s!

Chevrolet truck cabs offer greater comfort, panoramic windshield for"
better vision and modern concealed Safety Steps.

WATTCH for advanced Work Styling
The long, low, forward-sweeping lines of new Chevrolet trucks provide
modern truck beauty that's good advertising for your business. Each
weight class has its own distinctive styling.
1«Ol3rCH[ for automatic transmissions
In 3000-4000 Series models there's famous HYDRA-MATIC. And for
5000 through 10000 Series models there’s exclusive, revolutionary
POWERMATIC! Both are extra-cost options.
WATCH for Ball-Gear steering
Modern Ball-Gear steering, featured in all Chevrolet Task-Force trucks,
makes your job easier at every turn! In this precision steering gear,
scores of polished steel balls minimize steering friction.
You’ll find modem features everywhere! For example,
there are famous Chevrolet high-compression 6’s-the
world’s most popular truck engines! A great new
5-speed transmission, optional at extra cost, handles
tough jobs with ease in a wide range of models. New
WATCH for modem short-stroke V8's
There’s a new V8—either standard or optional at extra cost—for every
model. They’re compact, efficient engines, too—the leaders in their re-

FORBES CHEVROLET
we stand music-wise.
As we told you last week, Mr.
Gore accompanied the North Texas
State College Band on a concert
trip to Greenville, South Carolina,
last week-end. The occasion was
in celebration of Armed Forces
Day, and the band played two con-
certs in the buse theater at Don-
aldson Air Force Base, just outside
of Greenville. The bund was
scheduled to do a television up-
pearanee Hut their plant was de-
layed in take off in Dullus,' so
they missed their engagement by
five minutes. From ull reports
we have heard, the band was won-
derful—in fact North Texas State
College Band is considered one of
tiie best in the country.
In closing the hand news for the
last time, I, Katherine Strieker,
would like to take this opportunity
to thank each of you for your in-
terest in the band and to tell you
that I have really enjoyed writing
this.
