Send One Over

A solid trainload of 104 Graham
Brothers Trucks was shipped re-
cently to six Dodge Brothers Deal-
ers in Florida. Ten days after ar-
rival every truck had been sold—
and more were on the way.

This is an exceptional record—but
it illustrates an important point.

Business men need no longer feel
that they must devote valuable
time to investigation of trucks be-
fore making their choice.

The remarkable record of Graham
BrothersTrucks has reduced an im-
portant buying problem to the sim-
ple expedient of asking the Dodge
Brothers Dealer to"send one over."

Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of the
New York Times reviewed the history
of the last century. "My father was
born in Fuerth, near Nurmenburg,
which is only a few miles from his
birthplace.. Ile went to Cologne to ob-
tain an education, but was not admit-
ted to school because he was a Jew.
He could not get married when he
wanted to because the quota of Jews
permitted to marry was exhausted
for that year.
"Today is the golden age of the
Jews. It seems that we are the shut-
tle that weaves the fabric of mankind's
history. We must stand up unafraid
and assert our rights as free citizens
and as free builders. In no other city
in the world a gathering like this
would be possible, a gathering com-
posed of Jewish men successful in ev'

all religious faiths are represented, a
gathering where a Catholic clergy-
man will join with a Protestant Bish-
op in the celebration of a Jewish syn-
agogue."
A great number of messages were
received, including greetings from the
chief rabbi of Great Britain, the Jew-
ish communities of Jamacia and the
West Indies and from Jerusalem.
