| Salesmen are sitting at tables talking on telephones. Caption reads: "Here's the International 'Blitz A Grand' salesmen in action. (From left) John Stills, Harry Garrison, Bob Armstrong, Bill Hough and Dale Zimmerly donned derbies, sleevelets and eyeshades to create an old-time 'boiler room' atmosphere while attempting to sell 1,000 all-wheel drive pickup and Loadstar medium-duty models in a single day by telephone to International dealers in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. The results far exceeded any predictions as a total of 1,330 4x4 pickups and 410 Loadstar units were sold by 15 International key market managers and zone managers in an eight-hour period April 26." |
