BIG CROWD AFTER
DOLLY; CHANCES
AT REWARD TODAY

vice president Of the Rooklidge-G
Auto company of 225 South West
Temple street had courteousiy Of
fered to place an American Traveller at
my disposal This was the most de-
lightful surprise of all. I use an
American Traveller exclusively, but, be
lieving Salt Lake tc be a Wild and
woolly community. with rocky, inn
passable trails, instead of wide, paved
streets. I left my own dear American
Traveller in New York. I have grown
to so depend upon this Incompatible
machine that l should have been lost
without one.
An Excellent Automobile.
An American car is powerful and
speedy, and can make the quickest
getaway of any car I have ever rode
in. One can whirl around a corner
at an undiminished rate OF speed. This
is because the frame of the machine
is hung beneath the springs, instead
of being set on top of them, making
it impossible for the auto to turn over
by skidding or turning corners quickly.
This makes it possible to use extra
high wheels, without making the car
look awkward or top heavy.
1t is the prettiest car made, and
glides noiselessly over the toughest
roads as though passing over velvet
There is no noise but the wind, and
riding IN it is a keen delight. Mr.. Gill
mer is distributor for American cars
in Utah. He is charming gentleman,
young, clever and enterprising, and de-
serves his great success.
My, what a crowd congregated in
front of The Republican office
last night to catch a glimpse Of me!
Late yesterday afternoon The
Herald-Republican bulletins announced
my arrival, and that I would appear
promptly at o'clock in front Of the
newspaper office undisguised.
The crowd was not long in forming.
At $50 o'clock there was an immense
throng, which kept increasing, until by
6 O'Clock the entire street was blocked.
People forced themselves into the cor
ridors of the newspaper office and
blOckaded the passage ways.
Great Crowd Blocks Street.
At promptly s o'clock I attempted to
leave by the front entrance, but found
il quite impossible. The jam was such
that it was little short of suicide to at
tempt such thing. Being familiar with
crowds, 1 did not try to force my way
through, fearing injury to many where
the crowd was thickest.
way in the rear of The Herald-Republican
offices, but the crowd got wind OF my
intention and swarmed into the alleyWay,
But one other way remained. We sent
word to Bobby" my chauffeur, 70 drive
around to East Second South street and
passed through the rear entrance and
around the corner to my waiting aUtomD-
bile. Three very charming members Of
the newspaper staff escorted me IN my
wild rush to the machine.
My auto was half block away and l
sprinted for it like the prize winner Of a
Marathon, followed closely by a crowd,
but this time I succeeded in entering my
dear American Traveller and the rest was
not hard.
We drove around to the front OF The
Herald-Republican office and were soon
hemmed in by a perfect multitude OF
gOOd-natured folks. 1 stood up in the ma
chine so that all might see me, and my,
what a sight 1 beheldi
Some jealous people had climbed up
telegraph poles: others stood on the TOP
of conveyances of all kinds. The entire
street was blocked.
Amusing Remarks Made.
