STEARNS GREW FROM A
SINGLE CYLINDER CAR
For Years Company Has Dropped the
1903 1eoe=1e1o Slogan, Perfection
Having Been Reached

The F. b. Stearns company, Cleve-
land, Ohio, manufacturer of the we'll
known Stearns car has been from the
first one of the most prominent con-
Germs in the business. Frank B.
Stearns, presidtnt of the company,
manufactured his first car in 1896, and
since then the development of the car
has been steady. The first macrine,
a single cylinder, which is still in
running order in Cleveland. Ohio, was
rapidly followed by two-cylinder, and
that in turn succeeded by the four. 1t
is interesting to note while mentioning
the early development of this company
that in 1903 Mr. Frank 3. Stearns took
a perfect score in the New York-Pitts-
burg endurance contest, the car being
one of the first two-cylinders ever
manufactured by this company.
In 1905 the Stearns forged to the
front as one of the leading American
cars, and the succeeding years have
thoroughly proved this machine in con-
tests, races and hill-climbs in all parts
of the country. The Factory mas grown
rapidly from a small building on Eu-
cid avenue Cleveland, to its present
immense development, the output now
being close to 1000 cars, all of which
are high grade.
or recent years the Stearns company
has dropped the slogan, '1909," 1910
models" etc, and cars are now known
as the new series. From year to year
changes in the Stearns are Of minor
consequence, and 1t IS hard matter
indeed to distinguish between the
products of 1908, 1909 and 1910. For
years the car has been standardized,
and the entire engineering force has
devoted its time and attention to re-
fining the car.

sumo the agency of the Isotta, to be
known as the Motor Car Import COM
pany, of which Col. Fred c. Fenner is
the president and S. w. Bixby secre-
tary and treasurer, and the home of
the Isotta is to be at the palatlal
showrooms and garage of the White
Garage company, Olive street near
Eighth.
The Isotta Torga Florio holds a
wonderful record. A fifty-horsepower
machine recently made a 458-mile run
and maintained an average speed of
seventy-five miles an hour for the
run, while a sister car went it one
better and kept up the terrific pace
for that distance of one mile an hour
better, or seventy-siX miles an hour.
The car is a high-grade, high-priced
car, but the values are in the ma
chine. The prices range from S2750 to
S9500 and when the various models are
shown to the people of Los Angeles a
new phase of automobile construction
will be shown as astonishing as graft
flying.
The Motor Car Import company has
already placed their orders for the
various models and is promised imme-
date shipment, and the first of them
are expected to arrive in Los Angeles
some time during the earlier part of
the present month. When they do ar
rive the records held about for vari-
Gus runs and stunts will all have to
be revised and a general exchange of
silverWare decoratiLg shelves and cor
ners Of offices in the shape Of cups
and mugs be made necessary.

SAN DIEGO RUBES
ARE AMENDED
CHANSL0R & LYON CUP NOW
WITHIN A. A. A. RULES
Changes VIII More Clearly Define
Under What Conditions Cars
May Compete and Clears
CIouded Points

At last the clouded and disputed
points covering the Chanslor & Lyon
perpetual trophy have been cleared up
by an amended set of rules which more
clearly conform to the rules of the A.
A. A. under which the racing of cars
is governed all over the United states.
The disputed question arose over the
run Of the Columbia car driven by
Harold Stone which clipped a bunch Of
minutes from the time of L. B. Harvey
in a Rambler. The question was
whether the Columbia was equipped"
when it made the time-breaking record
and which stands today as the record
between Los Angeles and the southern
port of San Diego of 10 hours and q
minutes. The Columbia went stripped
of tenders, which is not denied. The
response Of the Columbia owners, Bire-
ley & Young, is that the Rambler was
not equipped, If tenders are an essential
part of the equipment of a car, and
cite the evidence of a photograph made
of Harvey with his Rambler that it
was lacking lamps, and insist that if
the Rambler people think a car is
equipped without lamps all 1t has to
do is take a spin down street any old
evening after dusk and see how quickly
the overseeing eye of the cop will
gather in Rambler and driver while
the same car might operate with i'm
punity anywhere at any old hour with
out tenders.
That all may know the rules now
governing the competition for the Los
Angeles-San Diego trophy they are
published herewith:
Round trip must be made in one day,
starting from either Los Angeles or
San Diego and finishing in starting
town.
Route must be over the coast route
one way and by the inland route the
other it being optional with contes-
tants as to which route will be travelled
first.

Splendid Showing Of Lee Motor Co.

The popularity Of the Cadillac cars
through the efficient representation of
the Lee Motor Car company is best
shown in the business of this popular
concern. The allotment of cars to
Southern California is 400 cars. which is
some selling of automobiles for a sea-
sons work. Remember the season
has not even fairly opened as yet, and
the new car has not yet been seen;
nevertheless the Lee Motor Car COM
pany, with its own direct allotment of
1886 cars for Los Angeles and vicinity,
has sold 274 cars out of that number, a
record of which the local company has
every reason to feel proud.

Where No Car Ever Was

Hale of Redding, has just made trip
from that city in Cummins' Buick
white Streak to the mining camp of
Kennett.
Upon arriving at their destination
after climbing over what were prac-
tically no roads at ALL Cummins
learned that his little Buick white
Streak" was the first automobile that
ever succeeded in reaching the upper
smelter town. About one month ago
Harvey Sallee succeeded in going as
far as Coram in his big touring car
but never before has an automobile
been beheld by the citizens of Kennett
upon their streets, and it is needless to
say that no small amount of interest
was manifested by them.
