The great diversity of climate, eleva-

automobiling in California, are all ef-
ficiently provided for in the Auburn
car. 1t is built with the maximum of

hard grind of sandy byways. In short

This is the ninth season of the Au-
burn, every one of which has been

Smith. He follows up very strict line
in selling cars quite different from the
average automobile dealer. He will not
have in his employ a man that is
known in the automobile trade as
knocker.
His motto is: I'm selling. if you can
not sell your car, do not make it hard
for the other fellow"
The real advantages in this car which
he claims over the four cycle cars are
certainly very plain, and, as he says.
he does not expect to sell everybody
an Elmore, but he does expect to sell
everybody that comes and looks at the
Elmore and has the price. The lack OF
complications in the motor, everything
clean and free from oil and dirt, the
most modern and UP to date con-
struction and design of the car
throughout will certainly appeal to the
wise buyer.
The EImore line for 1910 is an espe-
cially strong line of cars and looking
all the market over they certainly look
like a first class car for very reason
able amount of money.
One new feature of the Elmore bust
ness in San Francisco is that every
1910 Elmore car sold by Smith or
through his place of business will be
kept in repair by him free of charge
for one year from date of purchase.
This guarantee is that the engine
