MODERN BUILDINGS
FOR AUTO TRADE
Standard Motor Car Company
Has Made Many Improve
ments in Its Quarters

An indication of the Importance at
tached at the present time to the auto
mobile indusry on the coast is the fact
that most OF the best known agents both
in Los Angeles and San Francisco are
erecting new and modern buildings for
their headquarters. This is especially
true Of the automobile dealers in San
pleted buildings for their salesrOoms
which compare favorably with any of
their class in the world.
Prominent among these buildings in
san Francisco which are now devoted
10 the salesroom and repair depart
ment of motor cars is the Standard mo-
tor car company, corner Golden Gate
nd Van Ness avenues, which concern
has a large brick, fireproof building,
the lower part OF which is used as the
sslesroom for the Ford and Velie cars,
the top noor~of which is now devoted
TO a thoroughly equipped repair shop,
in which the machinery and entire
plant Of the Ivan l. de Jongh company
has just been placed.
we realize the advantage and impor-
tance OF having a freproof building for
both our salesroom and repair shop.
said ". L. Hughson. president of the
company, in speaking of the modern
class Of buildings now being used in
this city by motor agencfes. we con-
slider ourselves very fortunate in not
only having secured the service of Mr..
de Jongh, but also having him mem
Der of the company. The fact that
Mr. De Jongh is one Of the best known
experts of automobile machinery in
the country and is also well acquainted
with the motor conditions throughout
the west viii no doubt become an i'm
porant feature in the future handling
OF the business Of the STANDARD v,,o+or
car company. We are simply follow
ing the lines Of the largest eastern
houses in making our salesroom and
repair shop headquarters in the best
of freproof buildings, as we realize the
necessity OF taking all precautions

AUTOS GREAT HELP
TO COUNTRYSIDE
Money Formerly Spent in Cities
for Pleasure Distributed
in Rural Sections
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

The automobile is proving to be
great distributor of money. Before its
advent those who could afford recrea-
tion and amusement spent their sur
plus income for luxuries and amuse
ments in the city, or else on outings
in particular localities.
With the coming of the automobile
these social conditions have changed,
and now the money is being more
evenly divided. The amusements and
luxuries of the city are being cur
tailed, that the spender may enjoy
his automobile. which causes the dis
tribution of his funds along highways
and byways for gasoline and oil, and
for hearty meals demanded by appe
tites sharpened by riding in the clean
country air.
This has evoked complaints from
merchants in cities who handle other
than staple articles of a lack of trade
and condition bordering en- hard
times.
This undoubtedly may be the case
with those who catered previously to
the luxurious tastes. But 1t is impos-
sibIe to believe that there is any con-
dition of hard times in California,
when one views the financial situation
in automobile row, or considers that
the registration of motor vehicles at
Sacramento up to the first of Decem-
ber indicates that about $4,000, 900
represents the money invested in
automobiles for the first IL months of
the year.
This amount is not withdrawn from
the bank account, but represents the
money that is spent for luxuries and
entertainment Hence, it will be seen
that there are some grounds in some
businesses for the claim of hard times.
That the expenditure of money along
the highways and bywAys will sooner
or later help the good roads movement
may be seen from report of a
recent discussion in the house Of lords
of the development" bill. A tribute
was paid to the value of the motorist
in the prosperity of the countryside
by Lord St. Davids, who pointed out
that in his part of the country there
were little places by the seaside which
never saw tourist until they began

was that. the locality received a good
deal of money that it would not
otherwise have received. He further
made a suggestion which. by the way,
might be applied with good results in
California, namely, that one of the first
duties of the new road board should
be the cutting away Of the worst cor
ners in the country roads, which, il
done universally, would lead to a
marked diminution of accidents

ELECTRIC VEHICLES
PROVE Effective
G. D. Fairgrieve of the Ander-
son Carriage Company Tells
of Great Adyancements

G. d. Fairgrieve. sales manager of
the Anderson carriage company of De-
troit, manufacturers of the Detroit
electric, arrived in San Francisco yes
terday and is making his headquarters
at the Reliance automobile company in
Van Ness avenue, the agents for the
electric cars Fairgrieve has good
conception of the possibilities and fu-
ture of the electric pleasure vehicle,
and his arguments for its popularity
are convincing. In discussing the ma
chine yesterday he said:
1T is only recently. we may say a
little. over j. months, that the electric
vehicle, through its construction. and
the Improvement in storage batteries.
has reached state of perfection, which
must demand for it serious considera-
ton. The electric vehicle fills a place
in city and suburban life for which no
other motor vehicle or no other self
propelled vehicle of the present day ex-
actly suifices. The gas or steam mo-
tor car of the times is a speed burner
of such mechanical construction that
it takes what might be said 10 be "a
thinking mind to manipulate it. Not
that it is SOS complicated that 1T re-
quires experience of years or mechan-
ical education, but it calls for a GER
tain amount of close attention and
study on the part of the manipulation.
With the electric vehicle it is merely
a case of understanding how TO start,
stop and steer. No mechanical knowl-
edge. even of the slightest degree. is
required. Hence, we have what may be
acknowledged to be the ideal vehicle
for woman kind, and for professional
men, doctors in particular.
Doctors have not the time to stop TO
clean a spark plug. nor do they wish
to do anything of the kind, consider
ing that they are about to approach
the sick or operating room.
Heretofore. the general public has
looked upon it with some distrust, fear
ing, especially in San Francisco, that
it was not able TO climb hills But in
Seattle the electric vehicle daily ac-
complishes so miles or more on its one
charge of battery. This proves con-
clusively that the electric vehicle is
ideal for city life"

some friends on short winter cruise

ing through some magazines on board
the yacht Mrs. Cohan became interested
in some pictures of motor cars, among
them being the Studebaker.

AUTO SEASON WILL
! BER[CORD BREAKER
r. K. Roberts Makes Flatter-
Ing Reports of Sales of
Bucks and OldS


r. K. Roberts of the Howard auto
mobile<rompany who has just returned
from an extended trip over the north
ern part of the state in the interest of
the Buick and Oldsmobile, brought
fattering reports from all sections
visited. Roberts said:
Il can only reiterate with even
greater emphasis my firm conviction
that the coming season will be a record
breaker. While it has been generally
conceded. by all that the season of 1910
would produce a greater volume OF
business than the automobile world
has yet known, l confess that l had
no conception of the real magnitude OF
what it will Surely be.
MY opinion is not based on the idle
talk of automobile dealers in one or
two localities, nor upon assumed opti-
mism on the part of those interested in
the selling of automobiles, but upon
the fact that every one of our local
representatives was ready to back his
statement and his judgment with q
contract and his good coin and upon
the ca gerness with which they al
clamored for greatly increased allot-
ments in those contracts for the 1910
season and for immediate deliveries
The old order of things was COM
pletely reversed this season Instead
of the usual attitude of local agent In
sparring for time and endeavoring TO
learn the minimum contract necessary
to secure his territory, every Buick
agent manifested deep concern in our
ability to make sufficient deliveries to
meet his needs and demonstrated his
keen desire to secure the largest num-
ber of deliveries in the substantial way
+ have mentioned, which can not be
considered other than undisputable
justification for my elation and opti-
mism.'
