Pierce Arrows are the cheapest trucks

Spurk-Plug Box
Made Out of Wood

A handy spark plug box which
cannot rattle and which protects the
points can be made from three pieces
of wood with cover made Of few
inches of old inner tube.
The largest piece of wood is drilled
out to take the screw portions of the
plugs, the diameter of the holes being
such that the threaded end can be
screwed in, making its own thread in
the wood. After passing this down
with wrench the first time, the
impression of the screw will be suffi- =
cient to render subsequent use of the
wrench unnecessary. The end pieces
are not in the way of the fingers on
inserting or removing a plug, while
they afford protection to the porce-
lains and terminals.

Market for Bin Loads

DENLY trucks are made in one ton,
two ton, two and one half ton to three
ton, four ton, and an extra heavy duty

17O inches, and 10 inches is the stand
ard wheel base.
Every model however, is patterned
after a single type which has been test
ed and shown to be correct.
