INSPECTION SERVICE PLEAsEs.
Fulton Truck Owners Find PERI
odic Service of Value.

Odic Service of Value.
Users of Fulton motor trucks who are
awaiting themselves OF the free monthly
inspection service instituted recently by
W. l. Ffchiing the metropolitan dis
tributer. are enthusiastic over II. They
say that stop at the Fulton service
station on one day every month for a
general inspection, keeps the truck going
without trouble all the rest OF the time.
The expert attention given simply fore
stalls and Ills and the knowledge gained
by the drivers results in better all
around handling OF the trucks
In inaugurating this comprehensive
service the New York Fulton Motor
Truck Company asked each Fulton truck
user TO select the day most convenient
for the trip TO the service station. After
going over the truck carefully a written
report 10 made TO the owner. When
necessary the driver is gwen pointers
that will result in better driving and
more Intelligent care OF the engine and
other parts OF the chassis
In discussing this innovation Mr.
Fielding said:
I'VE inaugurated this service as n
part OF our general plan TO stand back
of our trucks from first TO last. We are
as anxious as the user TO have them
1erform as creditaby as we know they
will perform when properly handled and
cared for. Some trucks get unreason-
able usage while drivers are learning to
handle them properly. We want to help
the driver by telling him exactly how a
Fulton truck should be handled. This
