the same ease of one built in a regular

To be done is to paint it, for it is now
just as it was assembled. All that il
needs to place it in the same finished
state as those that just come out of
the factories is the work Of the painter.
The motive power is steam. for this
form Of power Nj. Clark believes is far
preferable ana better adapted To this
locality, inasmuch as il Is always pos

highways and even in the towns ana

The heat for generating the steam is
50 arranged that by a forced draft
steam can be gotten up in from six to
eight minutes. and it is possible to get
up steam in 10 minutes without the
slightest difficulty.
The automobile carries 90 gallons of
water ana about Tx gallons III gas line

to 50 miles The engine l. capable or
