GREAT DEMAND FOR
MUSICAL AUTO HORN

The popularity Of the musical horn
has grown wonderfully during the last
few months. according to Manager
Foster of the Gabriel Horn Mauufac-
turing company of cleveland. We are
working two forces at the factory
said Mr.. Foster, "Our new horn, the
Bugle, has attracted popular favor.
The horn is small and consists Of
four tubes only. 1t is played by keys
at the right of the driver and the
bugle call may be given quite as
naturally with this little horn or series
of horns as we gave it on the great
horn, seen at the shows during the last
winter, and consisting of thirty-seVen
tubes,
"The Buglo shot into popularity as
soon as l put it out and thousands
have been ordered. The newest crea-
tion is musical and like the regular
line Of single tube horns cannot be
considered shrieker at all.
England wants them by the thou
sand as does America, and the rush
of business in this department with
the demand for the Foster shock alb
sorber has forced us to add to the
factory space and work two forces"
Chairman Hover viii miss his band
in all probability this year. for Man
ager Foster of the Gabriel Horn Manu-
featuring company Of Cleveland am
nounces positively that ne win not en-
ter for the tour. as he sees no rca-
son for making an entry.
I'm last years tour said Mr. Fos-
ter, 1--WE blazed the way and the mu-
sic Of the big Gabriel played by Mil
ton Lusk, cleared the roads for the
tour and made things easier, while our
leading into every large city caused
untold interest in the tour. bringing
thousands out to see the tourists pass.
I cannot therefore understand why
] should be forced to make an entry,
and will not do So"
In last years tour Chairman Hover
was so proud of the Gabriel horn called
the band by the tourists, that Mr. Eos
ter and his jolly crew were often waited
for before an entrance to a city would
be made and We're then given the lead,
and directly back of the chairman. The
Gliddenites will miss the "bandWagon''
this year, for they kept Milton Lusk
busy in every stopping place last year
and applauded his sweet playing liber-
slly.

REQ MODELS ARRIVE
AT SHELTER GARAGE
Big Demand for Cylinder, Thirty
Horse Power Car, Which Seats
Five Passengers

Leon T. Shelter in his first 1910 an
nouncement brings out new REQ
type a four-cylinder, thirty-horse-
power car, seating five passengers. The
REQ Thirty is built entirely in the great
plant at Lansing, Mich
Experimental cars of the new type
have been in service for nearly two
years, but the makers adhered strictly
to their determination not to bring out
the car until perfection should be at
tained as nearly as brains, money and
long experimenting could achieve it.
The new car has the backing of all the
REQ guaranty and reputation.
As indicating the demand for the
Aose Thirty and the confidence reposed
in it, it may be of interest to know
that r. NJ. Oliver & Co. of New York
city have placed an order for $50
100000 worth, to be delivered in 1910,
1911, 1912, 1918 and 1914. 1t is to be
doubted if a single order of larger
magnitude has ever been placed.
This car will sell here for $140O f. o.

ment of this type for 1910 is three hun
dred cars. The specifications arc as

the car builder-have worked hand in
hand, year after year, and no one can
foresee the ultimate result.
New records for speed and endurance
are being made each season, many of
them being of international and histor-
iC importance. Realizing the advant-
ages of best possible tires, car manu-
facturers everywhere naturally use the
equipment that has stood by in tho
past. basing their choice solely on the
record established away back in 1895,
and since maintained.
Some Speed Records
New figures for seed and endurance
have been slated at Ormond Beach,
Nashville, Jamaica, Long Island and
New Orleans thus early in 1909. Last
year the Vanderbilt cup, Savannah
grand prize and the stock car contest,
the Grand PriS A. c. de F., BriarCliff
road test, Targa Florio, st. Petersburg
Moscow. Circuit de BOlogne, the Cana
dian mile record, and many others in
all parts Of the world were won on diff
ferent cars, but always on the same
max of tires.
In 1907 the list included the Targa-
FIorio cup, the Grand Prlx A. G. de F..
two 24-hOur contests at Morris Park,
the steep and classic Gallon hill climb
the Kaiser's cup, and several severe
mountain climbs ike those OF MI. 70
latus and Mt Ventoux.
The Vanderbilt cup contests of 1906
and 1904 should be mentioned also, as
we'll a tho notable and difficult Circuit
des Ardcnnes of 1906. 1905, 1904 1909
and 1902. To make the list complete 1t
would include practically every impor-
tant contest for the past eleven or
twelve years. which is surely glowing
tribute to the excellence of Michelin
tires and to their we'll known qualities
of speed and endurance.

however, could not be induced to look
on the seemingly frail air tubes with
anything but disfavor.
The late M. Levassor, one of the
worlds first and most enthusiastic au-
tomobile builders, voiced the sentiment
of other car makers when he made his
now historic remark. You might fill

Pneumatic Tires a Success
It was only after a most severe prac-

that pneuniatics secured their first

In the old days In New York city,
before there was a Metropolitan or
Manhattan Opera House and when the
center Of the theatrical world was
around Fourteenth street. Max Maret-
zels and Strakosch were prominent at
the old Academy of Music. There was
a keen rivalry between them. Stra-
kosch had Nilsson, and Maretzek was
exploiting Di Murska.
By some error of dates both were
booked for New York at the same
time. Strakosch was at the Academy
and Maretzek. having closed poor
season elsewhere. had halted In New
York before going to Philadelphia and
secured a week at the Lyceum theatet
on Fourteenth street. There were
