Fageol to Bring Out New Light Model Truck on Production Basis

The Fageol Motors Company is ready to announce a new ton and a half motor truck of complete Fageol design and engineering at a price less than $1,000.00, according to a recent statement made by Theodore R. Bill, vice-president in charge of sales. The Fageol Motors Company, large manufacturers and marketers of motor trucks and Safety Coaches in the west, have l3 direct factory branches on the Pacific Coast and inter-mountain territories.

In his statement Mr. Bill presented th'e policies of the Fageol Motors Company as they related to the contemplated expansion of the Fageol line of motor vehicles. Mr. Bill said, "It is our firm belief, after 14 years of experience in manufacturing motor trucks and Safety Coaches to meet the special needs of western truck owners and operators, that only a western truck manufacturer can appreciate the needs and operating conditions under which the western business man must operate his motor equipment. It is, therefore, necessary to build a manufacturing and service organization especially geared for these unique western requlrements.

"A great number of thousands of Fageol owners have urged us to build a lighter weight truck than we have manufactured heretofore. There is a constant and widespread demand for a ton and a half motor in the $1,000.00 price class. We have never built a truck down to this price. Our specialty has been semi and heavy duty equipment. During the past five years we have carried on extensive experiments and tests with the view in mind of manufacturing on a quantity production basis a ton and a half truck on the same principles of engineering and sturdy construction that have been our standard since the beginning.

"We believe that we have a responsibility as a western manufacturer to increase employment as much as possible, and through aggressive marketing methods, contribute to the successful expansion of western industrial development. With these thoughts in mind, we have diligently set to work to meet our objective and it is our expectation to make an announcement to western truck buyers within the course of a very few weeks that will be a real contribution to their trucking problems."
