These concerns are sold 4 sets of

given or loaned or sold to friends,
cannot be used on personal cars,
tow cars, or trucks, but must be
used only for demonstration pur-
poses.

that money obtained from licenses
goes directly into roads and there
by boosts their business, they
would cling to the law faithfully. u
