Earnings depend on whether the truck is suited to the work required, its speed and carrying capac ity and its uninterrupted service. Resale value depends on the reputation of the 'truck which determines the price it will bring second hand. PIERCE-ARROW Motor Trucks are sound investments and can be demonstrated on all three scores from the actual experience of owners. The lirst 100 Picrcc-Arrows in commercial use are all running today and have averaged over 75,000 miles. Xo Picrcc-Arrow has ever worn out or become obsolete. &$Mgsk -UK x FOR INSTANCE: The first Pierce-Arroxv sold July II, 1911 to Arbuckle Bros, xraj .old two years ago to Drainerd Bros, who operate it daily and say it is ai good as new although it has run over 100,000 miles. Arbucklr Bros, bought five in 1917 and twenty-five since. They now operate ?9. The greater speed of the Picrcc-Arrow enables it to carry a larger aggregate load in a given time, make more trips than any other truck. , I FOR INSTANCE: The output of Gera Mills, near 1'avsau , N. J., is hauled daily to their showrooms in New York. A 6-ton I'irrcc-Arrov makes 3 trips daily in 9 hours, hauling 15 tuns each way. It replaced 3-ton trucks which required S hours longer for three trips, carrying 9 tons. It does 00?t more work in the time time and cllccts a big sarlng. Rarely can you find a Picrcc-Arrow truck on the second hand market. Occasionally trucks bought for emergency work arc sold when the operation is completed. Sometimes unusual conditions force a sale. When a Pierce-Arrow is ofl'ered it is instantly snapped up at a good price.
