Both trucks were built for farm use, itted with extension rims with plain cleats in front and shallow cleats in the rear for ease of driving over plowed fields. Samson truck production was halted in 1923. The City of Janesville (Wis.) Street Department continued use of its fleet of Samsons until the late 1940s.
