The dependable every-day service given by
Corbitt Motor Trucks has created the Corbitt rep
utation for exceedingly low operating costs. Wil
liams, Inc., of Burlington, N. C, voiced the opinion
of a small army of Corbitt users when it wrote to
another manufacturer as follows:
"Wt havt e Corbitt Truck whkh hat bttn living u tmlnltmptti
tenice for i little ovtr flvt ytart; cur truck U tht old chain drive type,
and there hu been no occasion to make any replacement except chains
and sprockets, Outside of tires,
'The manufacturers now are making worm-drive style only, a great
improvement over chain drive or internal gear drive, and several of
their two-ton capacity worm-drives are hi service in this County among
our mills, all of which are giving perfect service.
"During our experience with trucks, we have had six other makes, -and
the Corbitt has given or the best service of all: we have had to
' funk three of tha ot Su (ft etote-name period, and we shall riplaca
with Cortina as we .? need for them.
'It Is our belief that a better truck cannot be obtained for e thou
sand dollars more money than t Corbitt would cost us. We know of one
man in this County who has replaced (well-known standard make)
trucks with three Corbitts within the past twelve months, and all of
them me giving perfect satisfaction and service.'
There are six sizes of Corbitt Trucks, one to
five tons. All models are worm driven, have Con
tinental Motors, and construction includes standard
parts throughout.
There is a Corbitt model which' will exactly
meet your requirements. Our Dealer will gladly
help you to select the model best suited to your
needs. See him or write to us. Ask for catalog
which describes-and illustrates the various models
and gives interesting facts.
