My territory is around Coleridge,Nebraska, and live stock is my general load.I have a sixteen-foot rack on this job andmy average load is full capacity over dirtroads and hills. My average haul is fifty miles.To date the truck has gone 20,000 miles andI haven’t spent any money for repairs. Ihave not even had the valves ground or themotor touched.I think the Reo Speed Wagon is the besttruck that can be bought for the money.Yours very truly,Orval Leapley”13525-AL-3005-47
