THE United States (Government lias urged business men to relieve the i'rcigfic situation by employing motor trucks whenever possible, that the railroads may move coal, food and emer gency war materials. Every truck so employed is doing a patriotic work of iirst importance. Trucks cannot be operated efficiently and eco nomically unless they exactly fit the conditions they must meet even the best trucks made. Pierce-Arrow trucks arc sold to fit the individual ' businesses which they arc to serve. To assure this we maintain an efficient organization to study con ditions and see that the trucks make good. "We will not sell them otherwise. AVc seek" to become an increasingly important factor in the business of our customers. In these days of limited produc tion our trucks arc too valuable to us not to be placed where they will create new business for us all the time. PIERCE-ARROW Motor Trucks The 'uses to which trucks may Ijc put in the pre sent transportation emergency are so various that it is difficult to illustrate their application to both long distance and short hauling. We can only illustrate their adaptability by isolated ex amples that don't begin to show their scope or their ability to meet emergencies. 9iu fsftpmne Court Clerk Johnson An- )y , rhms 50 New Appointments . i tj?
