The taking over on a long term lease by
the New York Motor Car Exchange OF the

long been considered one OF the leading
used car concerns In the business. with
the space and facilities now at the dis
posal Of tho firm and being situated as 1t
is in the very heart OF the automobile

expensive cars only, II is the intention OF
the firm TO now handle all makes and
grades. in fact to conduct regular depart
mcnt store for used cars In fifteen years

TRANSPORTATION
COSTS TELL STORY
Pierce-Arow Company Has Collected
Actual Costs from Many
Lines of Business.

In the field of the motor truck what
transportation costs least?
This is the question Of first Importance
to the motor truck buyer, says Robert o.
Patten, truck sales manager of the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car Company.
THE answer is easy to determine" says
Mr.. Patten. Compare the performance
figures OF the various makes of trucks
They will tell the truth.
"Pierce-Arrow trucks are serving 14s
different lines of business. For the guild
ance of motor truck buyers we have
trucks in these different businesses. By
specific instances-not by groad claims
we can prove that Pierce-Arrow trans
portation costs least.
THE motor truck buyer should ask him.
self four questions. First. What truck
delivers the most WORK in given tmie p
Second, What truck loses less time on or
off the job?' Third, What truck costs
less to operate and maintain Fourth,
What truck lasts longer and depreciates
less?
is the answer to these questions Actual
performance proves 1t. Every man inter-
ested in motor trucks should obtain this
information from U.s."
The Pierce-Arrow company has pub
lished y series of booklets covering the
Operation of Pierce-Arrow trucks In va
rious types of haulage work. Specific
examples CT what the trucks are doing are
given. Cost and performance figures are
an invaluable feature Of many of these
instances.
TIE company also published recently a
booklet entitled THE First Fifty" out
lining the history OF the first fifty trucks
manufactured by the company.
1T Is remarkable and unique fact, a
fact that no other truck maker can ad-
vance. that of these first fifty trucks
only one has worn out since they were put
into operation in 1911," says Mr.. Patten.
This one was retired after seven years
drastic use in the contracting business.
One other was destroyed by fire three
years ago. The remainder, forty-eight, are
lin profitable service today.
This is conclusive proof os the endur-
anct and reliability of Pierce-Arrow
trucks, and is one reason why Pierce
Arrow transportation costs least"
