WRECKED TRUCK
GETS LIGHTNING
REPAIR SERVICE
Standardized Parts and Meth
DDS Remake Job in Short
Time at Low Cost.

Making over a badly wrecked de
livery truck in only two hours and
fifteen minutes. recently avoided many
days Of expected service loss and saved
500 in expense for the Fame Laun
dry Company of indianapolis.
This lightning reconstruction was
made possible by the standardized
stock parts and economical methods
of the Martin-Parry Corporation OF
indianapolis, largest commercial body
builders in the world. who built the
laundry's delivery fleet.
The truck had been sideswiped and
overturned in a ditch while on its de
livery rounds. When the wreck was
righted and pulled out of the ditch
the laundry manager believed an en-
tire new body would be necessary. He
despaired Of getting the truck back
into service in less than two or three
weeks.
Wreck Complete
It's vestibule was entirely demol-
ished. top crushed. trimmings torn of,
tenders smashed and it was thought
the elaborate panel decorations, seal
and and mOnOgrams would have TO
be painted new on another body.
4 new body and this expensive
painting, to maintain the laTadry's
pride in the attractive appearance Of
its delivery fleet. was expected to cost
at least $3.50 and keep the truck out
Of service for many days.
The wreck was taken to the Martin
Fairy factory, with instructions 10
rush the job. as the truck was bodily
needed. Just two hours and fifteen
minutes, later, the laundry manager
got one OF the shocks Of his life,
when told that the wreck had been
completely repaired and was again
ready for service.
Every Part on Hand
Every part and piece of construc-
ton to make the wrecked truck new
was on hand at the Martin-Parry
factory, where Standardization in
sures efficiency and speed with salts
faction at low cost. Skilled workers
managed to save the painted panels
of the wrecked car and rehtted all
the necessary new parts from
regular stock in record time, at a
total expense Of only $50.
For years the laundry had been a
well satisfied user Of Ford cars with
Martin-Parry bodies, but this ex-
sraOrdinary experience now makes
the owner proud and enthusiastic
over its delivery equipment.

Could you compete, for instance,

Miss Ruth Robertson, the young
lady in question, sees nothing re-

nothing about emembering faces
and names and key numbers that is
extraordinary, in her opinion. She

THE WAY OF LIFE
Copyright. lo22. by Edgar A. Guest.


The tulips have come and gone,
And tho hyaClnths are done,
But the pconies, ono by one,
Burst open In tho sun.
And the peonies shall so
with their lovelincss too soon
But the roses then shall blow
Their beauty into June.
ASters and marlgold
Shall come when the roses fade,
And thus do our lives unfold
And thus are our memories made,
Tho flowers OF our springtlme pass
And we think that they fade too soon
We griove and we sigh, alas
Then come TO a fragrant June,
Then with the June IN our hearts
Comes sorrows biting cold,
And the rose of our Joy departs
And leaves us the marigold.
Birth and the passing on
This is the way OF earth.
Yesterdays beauty gone,
And new JOY como to birth.
