ALL SAY MONOGRAM
is THE OIL THEY USE
Long List of Drivers Who Voluntarily
Use Monogram and Keep on
Telling the Public
They Do

1t was a singular unanimity OF
opinion that made thirteen drivers in
the Portola races at Oakland indiVid-
ually sign the following statements
addressed to the Moore Motor Supply
company at San Francisco, CAL: Il will
use Monogram Oil in my Pope-H Hart
ford car in the Portola road races Oc-
tober 23rd," and this was signed by
Jack Fleming, driver of the worlds
record breaker; George 7. Potter in
another Pope-Hartford; Carl Chris
Jensen in a Buick; Frank Murray in
another Buick; r. ]. Hall in Comet;
C. o. King in a Maxwell; Chas. p.
Soules in a Stearns; C. Onthank in
a SteVens-Duryea; Frank Free in a
Knox; G. Cameron Murray in a Lex
ington; Walter C. Morris in an
Autocar; D. A. Bonney in a Stearns
and H. E. Warner in a Chalmers.
In addition to this the same COM
pany has an autograph letter from
Jack Fleming, saying: 1T gives me
pleasure to state that 1 used your
Monogram Oil in my Pope Hartford
car in the Portola road races, which
1 won on the Esd inst, and found it
all that could be desired.
1T consider this oil aided me mater
tally in maintaining the record-break-
ing speed that 1 was able to make,
as 1 was entirely free from lubrica-
ton troubles of any kind throughout
the entire events" A similar letter
from Walter c. Morris of the Auto
car company gives the same statement
precisely. Copies of these letters are
to be seen at the Office of the Moore
Motor Supply company, of which E.
]. Thibault is the manager in Los
Angeles, and which is one of the larg-
est accessory houses in the city.

come in. The Columbia is not handi-
capped by imperfect construction. 1t
is built to last, and it does last, as
only a machine of perfect construc-
ton can. 1t is not an experiment but
the result of fourteen years of con-
slant endeavor to improve.
The Columbia is an exceptionally
easy riding car due to the extra long
spring extension, which obviates the
sharp, annoying jolt common to ordi-
nary springs. The Columbia may be
had in any style of body-all of which
are modelled on lines of grace and
elegance-giving a seating capacity of
two, three, four, five, six or seven pas
sengers. The six-passenger model is
comparatively new, giving the low
hung effect and keeping the load in
side the wheels.
Features of the Columbia which are
most desirable are the position of the
foot throttle, which, operating on the
large carburetor, is so placed that a
steady movement is assured at all
times by allowing the foot to rest on
the floor. the use of a governor which
prevents the engine from racing when
the clutch is thrown out; the double
carburetor, which effects a saving In
gasoline consumption and entails less
adjustment in the carburetors, each
one being designed to fulfill its special
duty: the make and break" system
of ignition, for which this car is IA
nous, and an additional ignition sys-
tenn entirely independent of the other.
Also a cone clutch, with cork inserts,
which prevents jerking motion when
first engaged.
The equipment includes Bosch low

open market at 80 cents pound. Only
about a year ago the price was We'll
below the dollor mark. Today crude
rubber sells at $210, with no prospect
of a decline and with an almost APP
palling scarcity of the material. Yet
wheels must be shod with rubber tires
and the automobile manufactures is
compelled to purchase his tire equip
ment at a much higher cost than was
ever exacted of him before. The hey
day of the rubber pool arrangement
pales into significance when the pres
emit day price of rubber is considered"
The demand for special steels, 1t is
pointed out, is unprecedented, so that
it has become a matter of absolute fact
that the automobile manufacturer IS
governed in his plans, not by the
amount of business he can commahu,
but by the amount of raw material ne
is able to obtain" The supply of trim
ming materials and hair used for the
upholstering of automobiles, 1t is de-
clared, is practically exhausted
Nor are these conditions confined to
the automobile manufacturer proper,
they are also found in all estaellsh-
ments making the accessories FORMING
part of the complete motor car, the
writer continues. "The scarcity Of good
labor and the difficulty of securing
raw material also contribute to the
reasons which make for increased
prices in these lines.
"Of course even this chaotic up
heavaI of resources will ultimately
right itself, though relief is not IN
sight vel. But it would be unwise for
the public to expect the prices of cars
to pursue a downward course at the
same time when the price of nearly
every part going into their manu-
facture keeps constantly rising. In
deed it should be the cause for small
wonder if the selling figures Of auto
mobiles were to accommodate them
selves to the changing conditions UNI
der which the cars themselves must be

GILMORE CREW WILL PRACTICE
ON LIGHTS AND SHADOWS

The Gilmore Phoenix racer will be
put in trim this week and by Thurs
day will be equipped and ready for
the start d. B. Rose, who will drive
the car from here to Mecca, is not sat
isfied with the change in the rules
which permit the contestants to go
over either the upper or lower road.
Rose feels that as the record IN the
first run was made over the lower
road by way of Pomona, the run this
year should be over the same route.
Rose wants to win and lower the Tor
mer record. He will take the lower
road, despite the fact that the upper
course is faster.
The Gilmore has won many friends
since it's last run and is being backed

For fourteen years the Columbia car
has maintained a standard so high
that it may be justly said to have be-
come the standard af America for cars
of the finest and most luxurious type.
The material used in it's construc-
ton is the best to be had, the work.
manship is above criticism and the
finish second to none. Taking these
points into consideration, it is evident
that the purchaser of a Columbia ac-
quires a machine of such substantial
excellence that the cost of mainte-
nance is reduced to the lowest pos
Eible amount
The Columbia is built for those who
want the best and who are well aware
that in the end the best is literally
the cheapest.

AUTOCAR GIVES SPEEDY
ACCOUNT OF ITSELF RACING
Wonderful Little Car Proves Itself
Worthy of Remark for Its Show
ing in PortoIa Races

The performance of Walter Morris in
his 30-horsepower Autocar at the Por-
tola road race at Oakland is especially
worthy of remark on account of the
fact that this car sells for only $500,
and has an indicated horsepower that is
much less than any of the other con-
testants.
To be beaten by the Pope Hartford
car, selling for $500, was no discredit
to the little Autocar, and the rest of
the field were not in it with this car.
In a conversation with Morris, after
the race, he stated that had he realized
for a minute the capabilities of his
car he would have entered 1t in the
free-for-alI race, and that he would
have been justified in doing SO is shown
by the fact that he was in fifth place
when he withdrew, and that two OF
those who were ahead of him drew out
afterward.
This car ran better and better every
minute; not a hitch occurred, not a
tire was changed, and the engine ran
with so little heating that the grease
placed upon it prior to the race had not
even melted. The tires, too, show but
little sign of wear, and would UNI
doubtedly have stood the strain of the
remainder of the long race had the car
run.
