GIts power we wish to emphasize
most strongly, The true test of power
is the hill climbing ability Of any car.
There the relation of the power devel-
oped at the rearfwheels to the weight of
the car, tells the story exactly.
QThe best hill climber in the automobile
market to-day is car that delivers at
the rear wheels one horse power to every
20 pounds Of actual weight. Some de-
liver only one horse power to every 10
pounds of weight.
GThe Herreshoff Car delivers one horse
power for every So pounds.
lit weighs little more than 400
pounds in the runabout and less than 900
pounds in the touring car
GIt delivers "a horse power to the
rear wheels-Herreshoff's guarantee-not
theoretical power by formula, but actual
workable horse power-there when needed.
GThis means an increase of efficiency
of from 8 to Is per. cent. over the
best that has been shown in the entire
gamut of the. automobile mart.
The sun., 1908-12-27

GThe Herreshoff differs only in size from
the cars of highest type, costing three times
800. In design and material it is their
equal in every way.
QFor such parts as can be made best by
specialists, only those producers have been
employed whose work has been proven
successful in cars of highest grade. )
Gin every case, we have exacted sweep
ing guarantees Of workmanship and ma
terial. These guarantees are reinforced
by Herreshoff's by ours.
G If you already have stable full of cars,
costly, sensitive, incredibly powerful, and
you want to run down to the train in the
morning, it is the Herreshof you want,
1t has all the CLASS Of your Renault,
your Mercedes or your Panhard.
GIt is the smart light cob of the
automobile stable.
d you don't own any car and want one,
unless you have more than $1,000 to
spend-unless tire charges and all the
other running expenses of heavy auto
mobile are matters of indifference to you
the Herreshoff is the car you want.
GSuch Car, built as it is, is of necessity

GThe especial merits Of the Herreshoff
Car are durability and smooth running,
coupled with facile handling and power,
GThe durability of the Herreshoff Car
is insured by correct oiling, perfect align
ment, reduction of unnecessary strains
and adequate strength where strength is
needed
q Its smooth running is obtained by the
arrangement Of its power plant-clutch,
gear box and transmission an integra,
part OF the motor-as well as by is spring
suspension. Silence is insured by an in
genious arrangement of valve lifts and by
other equally effective devices which are
absolutely new.
d Its facile handling is increased BY the
adoption OF progressive transmission by
the hexibility of its engine which is suffi-
cient to permit control practically by the
foot accelerator and set spark, and by
the arrangement of its steering gear.
both in design and in construction.
Gof its power we need only reiterate
Herreshoff's guarantee-that the engine
will develop a higher efficiency Der cylin-
der volume than any other engine in the
world-that it will deliver to the rear
wheels a greater horse power per pound
OF weight than that of any other car.

THE CHILD AND THE BIBLE.

FOR children to read. Bible literature
must be given to children with dis,

| literature. Your boy will be just as
much interested in Bible stories as in
any other stories, unless you frighten
him away from them. Also you will
find that he wants the real Bible
stories, not somebody's limitations. II
he sometimes prefers Diamond Dick
The Boy Pirate" or its like, II
doesn't show that Bible stories do not
interest him 1t shows simply that you
must use some tact in competing with
the author of Diamond Dick" The
Bible stories do him good, and Ola

does not want to be done good TO all

Instead of making him memorize
the Bible for punishment, let him

in place of some other work He may
not thank You at the time, but he will

unless YOU believed every word In the
Bible true in its narrowest, its most
literal sense. Perhaps you remember
family prayers where your father read
