This rate WAS increased 10 cents for

The system was continued with un-
important changes which increased

the year of ls45, when part OF the
present system came into use. A letter

postage was made uniform Mt cents

new PIERCE ARROWSEEPECTEU
By SGHBMAN CARRIAGE COMPANY

The success OF the Pierce-Arrow
Compressed Air Motor Starter has
been so pronounced that the question
is bound TO be raised as to why the
Company has made any change from
demohstratededly efficient apparat-
MS
There are two reasons for the
change. The first is that in replac-
ing the compressed air system with
an electric. system, the Pierce-Arrow
Motor Car Company is able TO utilize
apparatus already installed and es-
eential to the operation OF the car, l..
e.. the generator and storage battery,
and. by 50 doing, arrive at greater
uniformity and simplicity Of design.
The second reason is that the Amer
ican public Is, from force of long hab-
II familiar with and favorably dis
posed toward applied electricity in all
its branches.
This is the age Of electricity, and the
United States has been, for years, the
scene Of greatest development and In
vention IN this field. For this reason,
as manufacturers OF the foremost
American car, the Company believes
that its owners VIII appreciate the
splendid efficiency of its electric
starting and lighting systems which

The big mileage piled up to date is
