PIERCE TRUCKS
SURVIVE SNOW
Operate Daily Between
City and Suburbs Dur
ing Blizzards.

Blizzard conditions that paralyzed
virtually all traffic in New York City
during the big storm recently failed TO
halt Pierce-Arrow trucks. whose TO-
serve power and dependabilIty otaserv.
ice met an emergency that cost own
ers OF other makes of trucks dearly.
Pierce-Arro~ trucks, in fact. played
a prominent part in battering open the
snow-bound thoroughfares. One group
of five-tonners. equipped with twelve
foot snow plows worked night and day
for the greater part of week clearing
the streets. Operating the entire TWEEN
ty-four hours. the only time the mo-
tors in these trucks were stopped was
during brief periods necessary TO re-
plenish motor oil.
Another example of Pierce Arrow
stamina is found in the experience ST
the grocery firm OF James Butler. Inc.
which kept s. per cent of It's fleet Of
sixty-ive Pierce-Arrows in operation.
The service performed is InestIma be.

stores in New York and in Long Ia

neighboring towns were kept stocked
with food to avert all possibilities OF a
shortage. The reinairing Is per cent
of the fleet was left in the garage
owing to a shortage OF drivers.

worst part of the storm to distant
points without mechanical trouble and

The Motor Haulage Co.. Inc. had
similar experience with Pierce-Arrow
trucks. Their entire fleet of ffty-one

Ford Reverse Pedal.

When the reverse band In the
Ford car becomes worn. the reverse
pedal develops a tendency to re-
main engaged after the foot has
been removed. OF course replace
ment of the band will cure the
trouble, but in case this Is not con
vehient at the moment, a TEMPORARY
remedy is to cut stout rubber
band from an old inner tube and
place It over the head of the pedal.
A screw eye should be located in
the floor at the proper point to hold
the rubber band In such a way that
it retains the pedal in the proper
position.
