THE WAY OF ADVERTISING.
Manufacturer Gets Out Moving Pie
ture Playjets.

A novel method OF presenting argu.
| ments In favor of his products has
! just been put into operation by a
| manufacturer in the middle West. A
| motion picture act has been devised
| with all the care that is given to such
performances by the best Of the film
makers of France and the United
States. :
The services Of playwright and
Of actors and actresses were secured,
says System, and playlet was pro.
duced with all the dramatic force that
has made the motion picture show
so popular Talking machine records
were made to accompany these films.
Both these records and the films
were sent out to the company's rep
resentatives in the various cities, who
in turn lent them for gratuitous use
TO the proprietors OF the motion pic
ture theatres. who were glad Of the
opportunity to save the money US
ually paid for rentals of such ma
terials.
Thus the need of the company's
product w3s emphasized and unique
but effective selling talk was deliv-
cred to the public who paid for the
privilege of hearing it. Films are now
being made that will simulate a fly
ing machine trip from New York to
the factory, with motion views OF the
various cities en- route taken from
above and including trip through the
factory departments and showing as
finale one Of the machines assemb-
ling itself rapidly and mysterious!y
without the assistance of human
hands.

ers. The latter give Indications OF

but the instruments are 50 cushioned

Atlantic near the equator at a con-
siderable height Though some of tho
balloons sent up by this party rose
nearly ten miles, they failed to reach
the "isothermal layer" where the cold
would not increase. Their theor-
mometers continued to register lower
temperatures the higher they rose.
Mr.. Rotch was confident that the iso-
thermal layer really existed. but sus
pected that Il was at a greater eleva-
ticn than was geaelted by the ipstru.
ments. It now appears that a Ger
man exposition sent out to East Africa
by DR.. Assmann found that at level
considerably above that to which bal
Icons went over the Atlantic not only
was almost unprecedented cold found,
but above it there was comparative
ly warm stratum. This was diScov-
cred last December over Lake Vic
toria, near the equartor. The change
from intense cold to moderate tenn
peratures was observed twice-once
at an elevation of $4,000 feet above
(about eleven miles, and once at 65,-
900 feet (barely thirteen miles,.
Especially remarkable, says Dr. |
Assmann, is the great average de-
crease OF temperature with altitude |
found over Lake Victoria; the lowest /
encountered at $4,000 feet [
was 119 below zero, Fahrenheit, with |

In addition to the ascents CT sound
ng balloons a number of small pilot
balloons were sent UP to great alti-
udes to explore the direction and
-elocity of the upper air currents, and
hese showed the presence of an up

PENDLET0N MAY HAVE GREAT
THRESHER MAKING FACTORY

At the Pendleton iron works a
crew of eight or ten men is now busy
turning out a number OF the new
Reynolds automatic combines for use
in the grain fields of this county dur
ing the coming summer.
In speaking of the company's plans
for the future A. f. May, who with
Marion Jack as partner. has the iron
works. said;
Last year We made two machines
and they were used with complete
success during the harvest. One of
the machines we sold to Grant Elgin
and James Neil while the other ma
chine was taken by the Balm Bros,
of the Pilot Rock country.
This year We intend to make three
or four and possibly six more ma
chimes. With these we will demon-
strate more thoroughly still that the
machine Is a good one; that it is ma
chine of easy draft and will do the
work with entire satisfaction. Next
year We hope to turn out many times
the number We are planning to make
this year"
The Reynolds automatic combine,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-03-15

which is now being manufactured by
the Pendletoh iron works, was de-
signed by a. d. Reynolds who is now
with the East Court street shop. Those
who have investigated the machine
and have seen its fitness for work
in this country fully proven are
loud in its praises. Among the most
enthusiastic boosters for the machines
are some of the heaviest wheat rails
ers of the county
While they have not fully worked
out their plans for the future the iron
works men are in hopes Of establish
ing a really big thresher manufactur-
ing plant for this city They have
unbounded faith in the machine and
in their ability to sell all that a local
plant can possibly turn out In this
county alone there is an enormaus
demand for threshers and each year
many dozens of combines are pur-
chased by the farmers Of the county.
After this season the throsher max
ers hope to have such 4 showing that
they will be able to set ample back
ing for the establishment Of a thor
oughly equipped thresher factory in
this city.
