The headline "5 of 1,000 Specialized trucks" points to the advertiser's pitch: a range of purpose-built vehicles, not a single standard model. International trucks came out of International Harvester's motor truck work, which began in the early twentieth century, when manufacturers were adapting heavy vehicles for hauling, delivery, and construction. Advertisements like this one were a common way for truck makers to show that a fleet could be fitted to specific jobs, and the figure in the headline stresses how many variations the company offered. The printed ad gives a useful view of how trucking was sold to businesses at the time.
