The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-05-30

Salt Lake automobile dealers are
greatly interested in the outcome Of the
races in Ogden on Monday. While none
Of them have entered cars, yet nearly
all the cars that start in these races are
sold by local agents. This is the first
speed contest of any kind heid this year
in Utah, and the races will therefore be
the first to give a test of the ability of
the different cars. 1t is not unlikely
that a number of local dealers will
make the trip to Ogden in automobiles
10 view the races, and it is safe to say
that prospective customers in Salt Lake
win hear of the wonderful work of the
winning cars during their rounds on
automobile row next week.

The great cry at the local Studebaker
company is more automobiles. Not be-
ing successful in getting cars from the
factory, the Salt Lake agency succeed
ed in getting a car of autos from the
san Francisco branch this week. which
viii to a certain extent relieve the
strain in the local demand for these
cars. The company is now booking or
ders for the 1910 car, and say they viii
have demonstrating car here inside Of
ninety days.
The official announcement has Just
been made that kerosene may be used
as fuel I'm the 1910 models of the White
Steamer. This is the first time that any
important automobile concern has been
able TO recommend any fuel other than
gasoline, and the innovation is Of no
mean significance. It has many times
been predicted that. with the number Of
automobiles constantly increasing, there
would soon come a time when L would
not be possible to produce sufficient
gasoline. at least at anywhere near q
reasonable price. As the price of gaso-
line has been steadily rising, this pre-
diction is probably we'll founded and,
therefore, the announcement that such
a large maker Of cars as the White
company can practically dispense with
gasoline is Of far-reaching Importance.
