able to produce, in such an important
problem as that of the successful ap-
plication Of power to an up-to-date
gasolene car. A successful transmits
sion must be one in which the imme-
date changes in speed can be secured,
without relation to speed at which
car or engine is travelling. With the
Berkshire, engine can be raced, with
transmission in high gear, and the car
moved forward at any speed desired,
even as low as two miles an hour. This
is true in any of the three forward
speeds. When it becomes necessary
to slow down when in high speed as in
turning corners, the transmission need
not be taken off high speed, simply
throttle down engine; if this is not
enough the operator can slow down
still more by partially releasing fric-
tions. The cars can be reversed at
full speed ahead, revolving the rear
wheels in opposite direction without
the slightest injury to any part. The
entire mechanism is constructed to
withstand the most careless usage.
When transmission is in reverse gear,
simple forward and backward move
ment of controlling lever, releases the
nd fhrnUS If into fret Snonn
forward without the slightest atten-
tion to any other part Of car. Thus
the operator can place his entire at
| tention to the rear when reversing
and 90 into first forward speed with
out attention to any part other than
bis controlling lever. The car can be
started slowly on any speed with en-
CINE running at any speed, which Is a
step far in advance of any other trans
mission on the market to-day. The
operator can go from first into high
speed without relation to speed of car
or engine: this is point experienced
runners will readily appreciate. There
is not a bolt, pin, nut, or screw, used
in the interior Of the Berkshire trans
mission. Before Offering this trans
mission to the public, it had been in
constant use summer and winter, run
ming successfully in zero weather,
snow, ice and Slush;- driving 2OO0-
pound car, over the Berkshire Hills, a
part of the country we'll known the
world over as being the most beauti-
full as we'll as having the most difficult
stretches of road an autOmObiliSt is
ever likely to find.
George SOule also has Berkshire
auto of the Model A style and is high
ly pleased with it. II. S. Mygatt has
a Columbia and Roland Mygatt is
among the successful local chautfeurs.
G. M. Breinig and Manager Pepper of
the Eastern Upholstery Works have
Cadillacs and are well pleased with
them. Peter Peterson, Andrew M
Booth and Jesse Ives have Locomo-
biles. II. LIE Roy Randall runs a
White steam car, in the summer time
using it daily between New Milford
and his summer home at Lake Wara-
maug. In Marketable E. O. Sperry
has two machines and frequently is
seen in town in his car. At Lake
Waramaug Howard hopkins has a
Locomobile. Almost every owner of
cottage at Lake Waramaug also
owns car. Charles King of Arrow
Point, Lake Waramaug, has two cars
and stays late in the season to enjoy
the country. 1t is plain to be seen
that autOmobiling is on the popular
increase locally and by another season
it would not be surprising If DR. Black
man and others should join the ranks
The South Bend movements are
made with the most modern improved
machinery, made expressly for them.
They use only the best high-grade
Brcquet hair spring; the main springs
are the best grade used by any watch
manufacturer. They put sapphire
olive hole balance jewels in all their
movements; the balances in their
watches are much harder and more
finely finished than those used in other
watches Of similar grades. Every piece
of material is carefully inspected and
put together by the best skilled work
men money can procure. Every watch
is very carefully inspected after it is
put together, then thoroughly tested
and timed before it is allowed to pass
final inspection. j. M. Studebaker,
one Of the founders of the great Stude-
baker Brothers Manufacturing Co., is
a large stakeholder in the Watch Co.
His instructions are: "Never allow a
watch to leave the factory until you
are sure it will keep time and be reli-
able" This rule shall always be fol-
lowed out. G. E. Riddiford asks you
to buy South Bend watch, guaran-
