Heavy Use
"Get constant use in all kinds of weather," is the
reason that H. Belfield Co. use motor trucks.
"Our two Autocars haul pipe ales' and fittings
heavy loads where the wear and tear is more than aver
,ae," says the company. "Some of our pipe lengths are
22 feet the trucks hae stood the test."
Motor trucks are doing more work today than ever
