WIRELESS TELEPHONE.

An invention even more remark
able than the wireless telegraph is
the wireless telephone, a demon
stration of which is being conduct
ed here by an agent of the compa-
ny that has the patent.
In appearance, the receiving and
transmitting apparatus resembles
that in use on the ordinary tele-
phone, and speech is transmitted
with the same effect. Otherwise
there is little similarity in the two
systems.
An Impoverished station was fit
ted up in Fifer & Houf's tailoring
establishment on North Central
Avenue and another in the room OF
the Virginia Plumbing Company a
few doors above. Between the
stations were four feet of concrete
wall, a hallway a yard in with, and
plastering and lathing. Messages
were sent from one station to the
other, and one could hear every
syllable uttered, as with the ordi-
nary telephone.

HOOK and LINE FOR SQUIRRELS.

Rising Sun, Md. "A most unique
method by which to capture SPUR
rels was successfully demonstrated
the other day at Pennington, when
William j. Reynolds caught four
with hook and line. Reynolds had
discovered them in a hole in a tree,
about thirty feet from the ground,
and, procuring a hook and line, he
sat out on a limb, and, lowering it
into the hole, he worked it up and
down until the hook would catch
in hide or tail, enabling him to pull
the animals out.

Remember, it is not cheap car
elaborated; 1t is costly car focused
by adroit engineering, by skillful cor
ner cutting, by special advantage OF
the newest factory and the oldest
builders, down to the low cost OF
$3.50. And this has been done
without the sacrifice Of a single
point in quality. Absolutely the best
is TO be found in every part of the
"Eyeritt 80" 1t is not an assembled
machine. 1t is built in it's own fac
tory by specially designed machinery,
and under the watchful eye Of those
who must and do stand back Of it.
This warrants the Standardization
OF parts, and enables yOu at any dis
tant time to replace instantly any
part in your car without special fit
ting.
Here is a car which is worth wait
ing for.
Once more we say that the
"EYeritt 30" is the greatest event in
the automobile world. Look into il.

about it. Find, out more about the
car and the men behind it than we

The San Francisco call., 1909-12-12

The coming out of this car at 1850
is the biggest event in the automo-
bile world.
You can't understand the full force
and scope of this statement until
you know what has gone into the
making of the "Everitt 80"
The newest factory and the oldest
builders tells the story in a single
phrase.
Experience in building is the only
leftover factor that has gone into
the construction of this car-eyery-
thing else brand new, No machinery
has been used in the building of this
car, because it was on hand and, had
to be utilized.
The Metzger Motor Car Co. starts
out with a clean slate.
It's officers are the pioneers of the
automobile business. Mr.. VIM. Kelly.
who designed the ''Everitt 30,'
worked on the first automobile built
in Detroit.
The officers of this company have
been foremost in every movement
which has made Detroit the greatest
automobile manufacturing city in the
world. The machines made by these
men have made good on every road
and every kind of road in this
country. Their names are on the
municipalities of the leading Ameri-
can successes.
They saw that a change was COM
ing in the automobile business
They recognized two things of prime
Importance.
First, that the demand of 1910
was not for a cheap car, but for a
high-class car at moderate-yes-
low cost.
Second, that the time had about
passed when the automobile manu-
facturer could dictate to the public.
owing 10 the excess of demand, and
say: Here is the car you get-take
it or leave it.
Seeing these two things clearly,
these pioneers sold out their old con-
nections, lock, stock and barrel, and
started a new factory to make the
"Everitt 30"
Perhaps you don't realize what a
brand new factory means to you.
Machinery has TO be specially built
to make the parts of any automobile
model. This machinery is surpris-
ingly expensive. Naturally manufac-
turers hesitate about improving any
part of their models, because any
change, however small, means the
change of costly machinery-the
throwing out of an expensive ma
chine into the discard, and replacing
The San Francisco call., 1909-12-12

1t means simplicity and ease of
operation.
The @Everitt 80" is so simple that
any man can run it; that the hiring
OF a chauffeur is not matter of
necessity, as with car of complex
mechanism, but matter of conven-
fence only. To save a chauffeur's
wages means in many cases the diff
ference between having and not hav-
ing car.
Again, this simplicity means
greatly reduced liability to injury to
parts and greatly increased ease in
making repairs.
The machine of many parts-and
that means our nearest competitor
is bewildering puzzle to the ordi-
nary garage mechanic. to say moth
ing of the man in the car. But it is
Observation-Disclosures the "Ever-
lit 80"
Suppose one of the connecting rods
needed attention; you do not have to
spread down a cloth and establish
picnic machine shop by the road side.
BY removing just eight bolts, the
lower half of the crank case is taken
off, and immediate access given to
all of the working parts of the en-
gine, the connecting rod and piston

inders.

it with still more expensive one.
That is why old established auto
mobile factories often can not see
their way to making improvements
in their cars which would lessen the
original cost to those who buy them,
lessen the cost of operation, and
make the cars better in many ways.
So, you see, the manufacturers
stock of machinery is big element
in blocking progress of improve
ments, both for himself and for you.
But the Metzger Motor Car Co.
made clean, new start without this
handicap of old machinery They
were not loaded down with bolt or
a screw that had TO be used, because
they hated to throw it away. They
made their plant and their machinery
to fit the model which they wanted
to produce.
Then these progressive pioneers
woke up to another important angle
of the situation.
They saw that in the new condi-
tion of things the public must be
represented. So they sent out to
the various parts of this country and
called in twelve of the foremost dis
tributers and sellers of automobiles
in the United States. This move is
bound to become historic in the auto
mobile business.
1t is the first instance of the pub
lie invited to participate in the manu-
facture of an automobile.
You know these men. If you do
not know them personally You know
them by reputation.
They are the largest automobile
sales agents and distributors in this
country They have sold annually
for the last ten years an average of
eight million dollars worth of auto
mobiles
They know every success and
every failure in the business-every
kink and quirk, and every kick that
the public has made on every car
from the most expensive foreign inn
portation to the cheapest American
model.
These men, whose names appear
DClOW were 11N1Jcu u COME 1flO the
enterprise with their knowledge of
conditions. their knowledge of cars.
their knowledge of men and their
capital They were invited because
the prime movers in this enterprise
believed the knowledge of these men
was necessary to the making of the
ideal moderate priced car for 1910.
The "Eyeritt 80" is the result of
the combined focused knowledge and
experience of all these men.
The San Francisco call., 1909-12-12

There is nothing marvellous about
it's production. 1t is only logical and
simple--and this is the reason why
it can be sold to you at $3.50 in the
year 1910. Probably in year or
two from next January it will be
produced or paralleled by every au-
tomobile manufacturer in America,
but that can not happen this year.
For 1910 this car will stand out as
the King and Standard Of Its class.
Until the other manufacturers can
discard their old machinery and over
take the "Everitt 80" it must re-
main the car by which all others in
its class are measured and judged.
With present equipment no other
manufacturer can produce 1t or any.
thing like it for its price of $3.50.
Every "Eyeritt 80" that can be
turned out in 1910 has already been
demanded and allotted to the men
whose names are below.
And what are the special merits
of this car made by the Oldest build
ers in the newest automobile factory
in America?
Simplicity is the key note of this
car. Its mechanism has been SIM
plified at every possible point.
Things which could not be eliminated
to the clear working advantage of the
car have been consolidated. The
"Everitt 80" motor contains $50 fewer
parts than its closest competitor.

the crank case, the four (4) cylin-
ders and the water Jacket!

And this element of simplification
of consolidation, of combining two or
more parts into one casting is con-
sistently carried out through the car.
The repair bill and the irritating
delays of the road are reduced to a
minimum with the "Everitt 30. be-
cause it is so simple and so sound in
its parts.
The double drop frame is another
important feature. Some expensive
machines have 1t, but none has car
ried it to quite the perfection of the
"Everitt 30"-which has five inch
drop, as against a 35z inch for any
other competitive car.
This puts the weight of the "job,"
the load, the center of gravity, close
down to the ground-so that the
car will stick to the earth, and not
skid or overturn.
The road traction is an important
matter, and in no other car is 1t so
perfected as in the "Everitt 30.-
On the other hand, the man who
runs on country roads wants a free
clearance. This is accomplished by
designing our axles and steering
mechanism so that they are not
as near to the ground as are those
of our competitors. In a word, this
ear is made for every kind of driv-
ing. II has geographical adapta-
bility that no other car of any price
possesses.
Take the matter of weight-that,
too. is important in more ways than
one. The "Eyeritt 80" does not weigh
to exceed 1900 pounds-or about 300
pounds less than its nearest competi-
tor. Tire manufacturers prescribe
weight limits for cars without their
loads,
The "Everitt 80" will take its load,
and still be almost under the pre-
scribed limit of weight. You know
what that means-it costs lot less
for tires. And, by the same token,
this light car will run the same dis
tance in the same time as the heav-
ier car, and at much lower cost for
fuel.
In no other car on the 1910 market
can you get so much automobile for
your money as in the "Eyeritt SO.-

and to each of her children 500 francs

Examination of the car had disclosed
the fact that the metal work was of
bad quality and that it was badly worn,
rendering its control difficult.
