RELEASI ON DELIVERY
I am glad to talk to the minute men of transportation.
You are in the great army that delivers the goods to the army. No
matter how remote are the sites far new army camps, you get the con-
struction materials where they are needed. New war factories can be
located anywhere. Your trucks fetch the raw materials and carry the
FRUNTA.

e 3. ADMIN."
the
s. COVERNAN
In our time of greatest need, we recognize the many inval-
uable qualities of motor transport. We see in the truck - the pinch-
hitter of our transportation team. Spare parts, small quantities of
essential articles may be needed in a hurry to keep a war plant going.
A truck is ready a t the appointed minute to pick up and deliver. If
there is a shortage of tank cars to bring northern milk to southern
camps, tank trucks fill the gap, and roll a thousand miles, two thou-
sand miles, from dairy centers to Florida. Hand in hand with refrig-
erator cars go our refrigerator trucks--meat, fruit, vegetables for
soldier, for sailor, for war worker, for our whole people.
