Show III REVIEWS IE F.WJJM RECORD Salient ( Features of Famed Power Wagon Briefly Explained. j l 'Without sacrifice of strength or dura- j bility, the four-wheel 'drive truck weighs less than any other heavy duty truck on the market today," said A. W. Shaw, manager of the Shaw Motor company, state distributors for the famed F. W. D. power wagons. "With this large saving sav-ing in weight and the fact that the F. W. 1). has a fifty-six-inch tread like a farm wagon they will go anywhere that a team can go and will haul several times as much as a team can haul. "The essential features of the F. W. D. truck are sturdlness of frame, powerful construction and the four-wheel" drive principle which transmits all the power the engine generates, less the smali amount of friction in the cylinder bloc, direct to the four drive wheels of the car. This advantage of the F. W. D. is not possessed by any other make of truck, from the fact that the first appication of r four-wheel drive was patented, by the F. W. D. makers and is still controlled by ttiem. Other makes get around the K W. D. patents, but only in an indifferent indif-ferent manner. "The srent record made on the battlefields battle-fields of France by the F. W. D. truck will stand for aces. It's popularity anions forelsn nations speaks for its great performance in times of the national nation-al danger and stress when the fate of the world hung by a thread on the mere fact of getting ammunition, supplies and more men, always more men, into the firing zone. The F. W.. D. did its part, and did it nobly. TTence, we are formulating formu-lating peace terms today which the Huns will have to accept." |
