The homes of 100000 families IN
America have, in the last six years,
been perturbcd over the problem of
the best choice in the first purchase
of an automobile, says the Indianapolis
Star There are still other hundreds of
thousands TO whom the same crucial
question is every month getting nearer
and nearer, and the longer it is post
poned the more the car Will cost.
That the automobile is a subject of
vital importance and ever Increasing
interest is amply testified by the never
ending flow OF Immediately prospec
tive buyers who throng the stores on
the local automobile row. attend every
show, and absorb, with still uusatisfcd
appetite, the ever increasing but never
sufficient output Of 10000 cars Il year.
Buyers come not single spies, but in
battalions. encouraged by the en-
thusiasm and satisfaction of those who
have already taken the leap and benc-
fitcd by many an error which their
more venturcsome predecessors paid for.
To determine exactly what you want
is half the battle Of ultimate satisfac-
ton, Many elements enter into this
question. In the first place the pur-
chaser must lay down his limitations.
What number of passengers. and what
weight and bulk of other jmpcdmcnts,
does he want the machine to carry!
What character of road surface VIII It

pose operating himself, or by a hired

sum docs he wish to invest in thhc ma
chine
With regard TO this there will bc no
difficulty in having all requirements
met. for the manufacturers prices
range by graduating intermediate
stages all the the way from $3.50 TO
$500 and upward, Roughly speaking
the prices divide themselves into four

How Tonopah Arranged Things for a

When it was decided to hold prize

prices like gold leaf, and were harder to

a ton, and none was to be obtained even
at these prices.
To erect structure for ten thou
sand people was no small Job at best,
but in these circumstances IT became Il
work suited to Nevadans. Therefore
Mr.. Riley and his associates went to
Reno, bought the lumber, and brought
it through by special train. Then
they placed armed guards around it and
hired every man they could find who
had ever swung hammer. The build
