The Motor Car Import company ic
beginning to receive their advance
printed matter, such as catalogues
covering the Halliday cars which this
company is the sole agents for the
state of California.
This car has enjoyed the greatest
popularity in the east, is built at
Streator, ILL.,, and is produced from the
very highest class materials that money
can purchase, and such was the de-
mand for these cars last season that
two additional fireproof buildings We're
found necessary, which added 10000
square feet more of room to the rae
tory.
Again, as last year, there are no radi-
cal changes in model D or Halliday
Forty. The season OF l9O9 mas only
added to it's reputation There mas
been made, however, such improve
ments in construction, quality and ap-
pearance as are in keeping with the
best developments in motor constru2-
tion. The wheel base has been length
Iened five inches, the wheels lncreased
to thirty-six inches, the car given
low hung appearance by the use OF the
| kick-up frame and Tenders cut into the
hodv. and all with reducing our liberal
road clearance. The transmission has
been equipped with annular bearing
of the highest grade throughout, ana
the controlling levers changed to the
rocking selective type, which has be-
come so Justly popular. Imported ball
bearings are used throughout the car
and all universals are encased in grease
and dust tight coverings. IN the Illal.l,
however, the essentials, it is the same
old Halliday that has stood the test Oh

q Younger brother of the Forty and in
its ssentials-motor, clutch, transmits
sion, steering gear aXles and In gen
eral lines, and even in the detail OF
finish and equipment, 1t Is the FORTY

and water jacket capacity has been IN
creased; the valves enlarged ana
changed in design, so as to produce
more power. The TRANSMISSION now

brought to the standard of the Forty
Halliday Roadster Line
The Halliday Forty toy tonneau is
built on the same chassis as the model
D touring car, with such changes as are
necessary to give snappy roadster
effect. The hood is longer and it's erect
continued by a dash cowl; the body
short coupled, lower and set back on
fine frame: the steering column of OK
fra length and slanted to the extreme;
fhe side levers short and Tenders long
and rakish. Just the car for the man
who wants style, power and speed
combined with Halliday reliability.
The Halliday Thirty roadster is de-
veloped from the model j chassis 1t
also has the dash cowl and all of the
tvpical roadster details. In fact, the
erect is carried further in this car by
stiIl longer tenders, individual front
seats and shorter running boards. 1t is
regularly equipped with a single rum
HE but can be supplied with a remov-
able tonneau for $50 additional IT. de-
veloping this model, strength and re-
