Yup Tiz a :
Pierce Arrow
1919 Pierce Arrow Truck
A Bit of History:
Pierce completed its first truck prototype in 1909. The four-cylinder chain-drive truck was of the cab-over type. Although a decision was made to build 100 examples, the project was halted when further investigation suggested that many changes should be made to ensure a more rugged truck.
The resulting motor truck was the worm-drive, five-ton Model R-1, which ultimately evolved through the R-7, which was discontinued in 1915. The two-ton X-2 came along in 1913 and evolved into the X-3 in 1914.
Despite the company’s well-proven history in building luxury cars, there was nothing luxurious about the Pierce-Arrow trucks. They were, however, carefully engineered and very well built from top quality materials. As a result they performed and lasted well under heavy use.
Its big four-cylinder engine has its cylinders cast in pairs, has a one-piece crankcase and non-detachable cylinder heads. Not equipped with a self-starter, hand cranking is the order of the day with this truck. Power reaches the dual rear wheels via worm drive.

Tiz A:
Samson truck
The Samson Iron Works were founded in Stockton, California and, after becoming known for building farm tractors, were renamed the Samson Tractor Company in 1916 and again the Samson Sieve-Grip Tractor Company in 1917. In the same year, GM, under the leadership of William C. Durant, purchased the company to enter the market for farm tractors and to emulate the success of Ford Motor Company's highly successful Fordson Model F tractor and others. In 1918, GM bought the Janesville Machine Company of Janesville, Wisconsin, another farm implement producer, for $1,000,000 and decided to concentrate production of both companies in Janesville. In 1919, GM decided to shut down operations in Stockton and run both companies as one operation, the Samson Tractor Company Division of General Motors in Janessville.
So, expectations at GM were high and they lasted mainly on the modern new Samson Model M tractor. Production of the new four wheel tractor started in May, 1919 at a rate of 10 units per day. It was a good machine and, at first, reasonably priced at $650. But that proved soon unprofitable. So, a rise to $840 followed, thus ending all plans to outsell the Fordson. In 1923, GM closed the Samson division.
