it expects TO establish a show room sec

Mr.. IsuttrelI has been in the automo-
bile business for sixteen years, or ever
since automobiles first began TO make
their appearance in the world. He
knows the business thoroughly in all
it's details and is well qualified to man
age a salesroom such as he and Mr..
Muehleisen interd to establish. They
handle the Packard cars. and have
been so successful with them that they
have already sold out their entire allot-

now on his way to the factory to Try

Big Reliance Motor Trucks
Make Transportation Cheaper

II. Cornell Wilson & Bro, Of 1lO1 Yer
mont avenue northwest, have taken the
agency for the Reliance motor tuck,
made by the Reliance Motor Truck Com
pany, of Owosso, Mich, and have re-
ceived for demonstration purposes a
large three-tOn truck. which can be
seer at any time IN their exhibition
and sales room on Vermont avenue.
The large yellow truck is frequently
seer on the streets OF the city. and
Mr. Wilson expects that Il viii so dem
Onstrate its usefulness as a modern
rapid and economical method Of trans
PORTING freight or merchandise, that
many wholesale houses, brewers. ex-
press companies, and others who have
large amounts Of merchandise to haul
through the city win be induced %
try IT.
There are now several hundred Of
these trucks IN actual daily service in
different cities throughout the country
and they have demonstrated their prac-
teal commercial value. M Wilson ad-
vance5 many strong arguments in ia
vor OF motor trucks in place Of horses
and claims they are especially apphca-
bic to Washington with its wide and
well paved streets. The MOTOR truck,
he says. Is a cheaper method OF tran
sporting merchandise and freight for
many reasons. The motor consumes
fuel only when It does useful work. It
requires less attention than a team Of
horses, and no keep when not in use
1t can work any number Of hours day

TRIAL TRIP MADE
IN MATHESON CAR
Run to Benedict, Md, Com
bineS Pleasure and Test
of Machine.

Partly as a pleasure trip and partly
in order to make a practical test Of the
running qualities of the Matheson car,
T. B. Spence, of the Pope AutomobIe
Company, of Washington. located at
Sl9 Fourteenth street northwest, made
a trip last week TO Benedict. Nd. on
the Patuxent river. In order that the
test OF the cars running qualities might
be accurately determined, Mr. Spence
secured the services OF Hugh Harding,
whose expert driving won him such
fame during the Vanderbilt cup race
TWO companions accompanied Mr..
Spence and Mr.. Harding on the trip.
Benedict is only forJy-five miles from
Washington, but the roads leading TO
it are so shady, hiily, and narrow that
the trip is equivalent 70 a hundred
miles over good level roads
Made Quick Trip.
The party left last Saturday at 10 a. m
and in the course Of a few hours, after
an exciting and interesting trip, in
which Mr.. Harding had ample oppor-
tuuity 20 demonstrate the fact that his
reputation as a driver was well de-
served. they arrived at the little fishing
village o. Benedict.
The bad roads presented all kinds OF
problems TO the driver. Steep, rough
hills had to be climbed deep sand ruts
avoided, and a constant lookout kept
10 avoid running down some vehicle
met in the narrow road. In many
places. the road was 50 narrow that II
was necessary to back of TO one sid5
in order to let a wagon pass. But Mr.
Harding seemed quite at home, and as
the machine behaved admirably the
/ party forged ahead in spite Of all diff
/ hcUIties.
Caught Pretty String.
After arriving in Benedict, they spen
Saturday afternoon fishing. and made Z
/ fine catch Of bass which they brough
/ back 20 Washington and distributed
among their friends. A camera wa!
