Despite the difficult economic times, the 1920's and 1930's are referred to as the �Golden Age of Fire Engines�. Dozens of companies, both local and national, competed for business as cities finally phased out the horse-drawn pumpers of the 19th century.

Stutz, represented by the 1924 Model C, only lasted from 1919 to 1924. Despite a perfect score on a 12-hour test at the national fire chief's convention, only 302 were built.
