THOMAS HAS IDEAL GARAGE
ESTABLISHMENT AT 1928 L
STREET WELL NIGH PERFECT.
Local Home Of Pullman and Max
well Cars Ready for Business
Day and Night.

John R. Thomas has taken over tae
Thomas and Tolman garage. 1923 l.
street, and has made 1t a place where
cars are not only bought, sold and stored.
but where a car owner may be certain OF
expert attention in any line at any hour
Of the day or night. It takes a great
deal Of all-round ability to furnish all
these things. but Mr.. Thomas has been
running cars for years. and he knows all
about them and about what their own
ers need when 1t comes to taking trouble
off their hands.
Mr.. Thomas has fitted up q two-story
freproof building with big repair shop
and a force of expert machinists. trained
in the factory where the cars he handles
are made. These men know the anatomy
of an engine and car. and the garage car
ries a complete line of parts SO that re-
pairs of all sorts can be made at short
notice without the owner having to 90 to
the expense Of telegraphing for spare
parts and then waiting the convenience of
the express company for them to be de-
livered. In fact. duplicate OF any OF
the stock machines could be built IN the
repair shop If the need arose, and the
men are kept on hand to do the job all
the time.
Fifty Cars the Capacity.
The place will store fifty cars. and
force of cleaners and expert chaufeurs Is
kept constantly on duty. SO that a patron
wanting to get his car or get rid OF It
has only to telephone tho garage and
thoroughly competent man will bring the
car to his door or take 1t away and have
the last trace Of dirt and mud removed
and have it put in shape to go out again
at a moments notice in as good condition
as though 1t had Just come from the
factory.
Mr.. Thomas makes a speciality Of the
Pullman car. a $500 machine, big.
speedy and roemy, and built for all-round
road work. 1t is said to be a remarkable
car and equal in every respect to many
of the cars that sell for 81 1000 more. But
it is not everybody who can AFFORD even
a $1,000 car, and for such as these Mr..
Thomas has secured this year a wonder In
the way Of q low-prced reliable car. It
is the Maxwell. Jr., two-cylinder op-
posed car made to SELL ns but also 1s and
power and cylinder capacity as a four
cylinder car, with fewer and simpler
parts.
Point in Favor Of Maxwell.
Coming down to the more intricate
points Of the little car, there is the three
point suspension in its favor. This counts
on rough roads, for 1t keeps the engine
from being thrown out Of line by the
twisting Of the car. and Is a very essen
tial factor in the fast and serviceable little
machine.
The car is fast too. for 1t is capable of
a forty-mile speed on the high gear. and.
as Mr.. Thomas says. this means forty
miles out and back. for 1t is not a car
that is ever liable to leave its owner on
the roadside or come limping home on
the low gear under half power.

Goes Through Severe Trial.

One Of the most severe tests to which
q small car has ever been subjected was
the Detroit Washington run Of ono Of the
Brush runabouts. This was a stock car,
and made the trip from Detroit to this
city without a stop for repairs or the loss
Of tire. D. T. Bussey, the southern
representative Of the Arm. was the driver
on the run. He had with him as OBJ
server H. s. Doran Of Detroit. The whole
of the 1,10O-mile trip was made without
a hitch, though the weather at times was
as bad as it could be and tho roads equal
ly so. The trip was made on forty-five
gallons Of gasoline and two and half
gallons of lubricating oil.
The trip of the little machine through
Michigan and Ohio was easy. The roads
In that section were fine. Michigan fur
nished some Of the best going OF the trip.
The pixies in Ohio were very fine. too. and
the driver managed to sell q number Of
cars on the road through his demonstra-
lions at the various stopping places
There WAS no effort made to break rec
ords, but the test was for reliability and
on the country roads.
Roads Were Awful.
AS the Allegheny mountains were ap-
preached the scenery got better and the
roads rapidly worse. The mountain roads
were little better than trails. In some
places they were SO deep in mud that 1t
seemed a wonder the road did not slide
off down hill. and in other places they
consisted solely of stones from the size
of mans fist to that of a prize pumpkin
at country fair.
Rain started in at Columbus, Ohio, and
kept up almost without intermission to
Wheeling. w. Va. adding the discomfort
of bad weather to the other troubles of
the tourists.
Bussey says he has heard the scenery
over the Alieghanies is fine. and some day
he Is going to see. but he thinks he will
take an airship unless the roads have
improved. The little machine stood I'D
to the hard test splendidiy. however. It
was q trying and nerve-wracking Job to
pilot the car safely through such a coun-
try as was part of the trip. but the driver
managed 1t cleverly.
Reception at Pittsburg.
He was given a great reception at Pitts
burg, where there were Q good many peo-
