| The text reads: "From the shores of Lake Erie across to Philadelphia stretches the Quaker State....the beautiful 'Sylvania' of William Penn...a magnificent domain, great in history, great and strong in the present, and ever-building for tomorrow. Pennsylvania knows full well that no state can afford to neglect her roads. She has gone on extending the vital arterials so that commerce may flow unobstructed and free. Pennsylvania is a difficult state for the road builder, as any man knows who is familiar with the hills of Pittsburgh on the west and the Allegheny mountains toward the east. During 1930 over seven hundred International trucks helped to build the highways of Pennsylvania alone - a surprising total, indicating the popularity of International haulage among Pennsylvania road builders." |
