Al drew to a stop

Al drew to a stop from The Grapes of Wrath, V.2, p.451. Thomas Hart Benton, a native of eastern Oklahoma, was assigned to draw archetypal Oklahomans for 20th Century Fox as the studio believed that would make the casting more accurate. "As they drew near a State policeman, in boots and Sam Browne belt, stepped round the last parked car. He held up his hand and Al drew to a stop."
