Phone Red 221 SHIPP & PERRY A Remarkable Invention Xt Is no longer necessary for tne motorist to get stuck. This Uttle device, if carried in bis tool-box, multiplies his power by 73, and makes him independent of road conditions. If his auto sticks in the mud, skids into a ditch or overturns, he can right It in 10 minutes by simply driving the three stakes in the ground, attaching Pull-U-Out to them and to the auto and giving the ratchet crank a few easy turns. The stakes will hold, even in very soft ground and out comes the auto. No trouble, no expense, not even soiled clothes! This wonderful little device lifts a ton, of dead weipht, or pulls 50 tons on wheels; yet its shipping weight is only 28 lbs., and U fits easily into a space 4x6x14 inches. , R. V.
