f..soys PAUL CRUCE, Cn Bvton. Cos.. To*. OHo.
“We do a lot of driving on narrow roads, in
and out of driveways, in smalll yards and ot e
tight spots. We arerealeasy
to handle, so we switched to Dodge. They 11
turn on a dune!
“We service oil wells, too, and that’s the
toughest off-the-road hauhng there is. We
need plenty of pulling power. For mud and
heavy Dulling, Dodge Job-Rated trucks are
dependable and economical to operate.”

BUY U. S. SAVINGS BONDS
STATEMENT TO THE CITIZENS
OF BUTTS COUNTY
It appears that some rumors are circulating that the county went
heavily into.debt during the year 19 51. These rumors are unfounded. The
records will reveal that the county p aid all its obligations during the year
1951 with the exception of some equipment recently bought which will be
paid for when due.
The county has undertaken to grade the road from Jackson to Bar
nesville and we believe that in so doing this county will have, at least,
paid for the equipment used on the r oad which will last several years
longer.
In addition, we have kept the b ridges in repair throughout the coun
ty. We have tried to keep the roads p assable and in good condition. There
may have been times on account of b ad weather and other conditions that
some places were bad but we have en deavored to remedy this as soon as
possible
In all we have tried to save the taxpayers all that was possible and at
the same time give them value received for money received from taxes.
We have assurance from the Highway Department that some paving
will be given the county in the near future.
This financial condition of the county can be verified by the county
treasurer as his books will show the income and expenditures.
A. A. WHITE, Chairman,
County Commissioners.
L. J. WASHINGTON, Member
The above statement as to the financial condition of
the county for the year 1951 is correct.

Suppose you need a I Yr or 2-ton truck. Naturally,
you’ll want one that costs less to run. You’ll want
one engineered to last for years and years. Above
all, you’ll want one that fits your job to a T .
That calls for a truck in which every unit that
moves the load is engineered to meet most severe con
ditions —and every unit that supports the load is
engineered to provide the strength and capacity
needed. What’s more, load-moving and load-support
ing units must be engineered to work together.
The way to get such a truck is to see us about a
Dodge “Job-Rated'’ truck—one that’s factory-engi
neered for your kind of work!
Yes . . . when it comes to your hauling job, you’ll
find everything you want and need in a Dodge “Job-
Rated” truck. Come in today.
Power with economy. The big high-compression
engine of a Dodge “ Job-Rated ” or 2-ton truck
operates with outstanding economy. You get money
saving values like chrome-plated top piston rings,
and exhaust valve seat inserts.
Time-saving performance. Low’ loading height on
1 Yi- and 2-ton models and hinged center sections on
stake bodies make loading and unloading easier.
5-speed transmission available on most models for
more pulling power, better speeds.
Easy handling. Exceptional handling and steering
ease is made possible by wide front tread and short
wheelbase. Thanks to shorter turning diameters, you
can turn sharper either right or left—back into
tight places easier.
