-on Laundry Routes 



AN increase in collection and delivery area to four 

 l times that covered by horse drawn vehicles has 

 been effected by the Winchester Laundry, Boston, 

 through the use of motor trucks. 



Four GMC Trucks, Y\ to 1 ton capacity, are operating 

 over the longer routes. 



With horse drawn vehicles, only the close-in routes 

 could be covered successfully, and the income shown 

 could not average more than $240 per vehicle per week. 



GMC Trucks covering the longer routes are able to bring 

 in business averaging $400 per truck at an increase in 

 weekly operating expense over horses of only $20. 



This increase of 66 /<3 per cent in volume of business 

 with an increased collection and delivery expense of 

 only 35 per cent has meant an increase in profit of still 

 greater proportion. 



The GMC Model 16, Y\ to 1 ton truck, is the model 

 standardized by the War Department for all work re- 

 quiring a truck of that capacity. 



GMC Trucks in the war made a remarkable record in 

 the severest kind of ambulance work. 



GMC Trucks are built and backed by the General 

 Motors Corporation, the strongest organization in the 

 automotive industry.
