SELLING POTENCY
OF GOOD ROADS
Every One Should Put His Shoulder to
the Wheel, Grasp the Impetus
Movement viii Give SELL
ing of Cars

A vast percentage of the motor car
dealers In sections of the country
where roads are poor are not doing the
part they should in propagating the
movement for procuring better roads.
In these sections the initiative, where
It has been taken. has been taken by
others than those connected directly
with the selling of motor cars, and who
are doing the work because of the in
evitable benefit it will bring to the
motor industry, and not for ony re-
muneration they may expect to obtain
from 1t.
IN the end the big beneflters in the
good road movement will be the sellers
of motor cars and the owners of such
cars. with better roads more cars
will sell, selling will be easier because
of the reduced cost of tire upkeep, and
cars will increase in popularity because
Of the reduction in maintenance di-
rectly caused by road improvement.
To a great majority of dealers the
road improvement idea may not appeal
because its results do not come the
week after the money has been donat-
ed or the effort made; but come II VIII
sooner or later. and those dealers VINO
assist i'm bringing about a crusade for
improved roads will undoubtedly be the
first to benefit. The motor car dealer
who only looks for the selling of this
years output may not be expected TO
grasp the magnitude of the impetus
good roads will give to the selling OF
motor cars. but that dealer who Is In
the business for a life time VIII soon
realize that the deep streams invari-
ably contain the most water and from
good roads greater sales will ensue.
There are roads I'm the fertile agricul-
turaI districts of Iowa and Minnesota
which can only be used in certain
months of the year and are impossible
to motor and horse vehicles In other
seasons. Every day road Is not open
to traffic that district is suffering a
loss: the merchants in that district
are losers, and those people engaged IN
selling motor cars are also losers.
If those engaged in selling cars have
not the wherewithal to aid by dona-
tions the good roads funds, they can
actively support the leaders of the
crusade i'm their attempt to obtain state
apnropriations for roads, and In so do
ing thew are directly increasing their
business, not for that day but certainly
for a time not one year after the Soou
road work begins.
Motorists in states west of the Miss
issippi as we'll as others in the south
should particularly interest themselves
I'm this work. They should join with
others i'm promugating the cause or
good roads, for it is by everyone put
finr his shoulder to the wheel that the
greatest good is accomplished.-Moto

GIVING MACHINE rRYour

There will undoubtedly be history
made in the Mount Baldy race sched-
uled for September 10. The Pope
Hartford, represented by the w. r.
Reuss Automobile Company have en-
tered a car, and this has been stripped
for racing occasion by stripping it of
all the handsome "gew-gaw" slightly
ornamentations that decorate the car
of pleasure, and in the hands of Mech
anician Henderson and Mr.. Reuss him
self has been tuned up to where he will
be a most formidable rival of any
thing on wheels that happens to take
part in the famous hill climb.
The time recorded for the Mt. Baldy
run stands at 1886, hut this has been
peeled down in practice below that
mark. and the Pope-Toledo may be
looked for to have her bonnet well in
the front row at the entertainment.
Accompanied by Frank Siefert, Mr..
Reuss takes regular spins with the
racing machine. which is a stock car
taken from the floor of the garage and
simply stripped for the run, and she is
working as though that had been the
entire business of the. car since coming
from the factory.

SECURE AGENCY FOR
THREE GOOD CARS
Great Chadwick, Winton and Prayer
Miller Trucks Now in Control of
Howard Motor Car COM
pany as Agents

Changes are being marked in the
cycles of gasoline row. Among these
none more so than the Howard Motor
Car company, which has gathered into
| it's fold three of the best. lines of cars
known to the automobile world. These
are tie Chadwick, which added to Its
rapidly growing favorable popularity
at the Indianapolis speedway on Fri
day last by taking the first prize ir
the ten-mile free-for-all race, leading
Chevrolet's time in a Buick by ovel
thirty-three seconds.
| Added to this is the Winton Car-s
car that has established for itself
| reputation second to none on the Amer
| lean continent, the agency for which
the Howard Motor Car company ac-
quired during the past week
And the third, one of the best lines
of motor car trucks known on the
market-the Prayer Miller production
These cars are not excelled in their
class, each being distinct type of the
very best that skill and workmanship
have produced in the way of motor
cars.
Two seasons use of quantities of the
great Chadwick Skies in the hands OF
owners has conclusively proven that
these cars were built to endure the
hardest service and to cover enormous
and repairs.
AS a part of the new organization
they have established the most rigid
system of inspection known to the in
dustry. Every part that enters the
great Chadwick Six is inspected for
grade of material and accuracy OF
measurement. Before the finished car
can be shipped it is sent through the
hands of three inspectors, who make
independent inspections of all details
of construction and accuracy of ad-
justment.
Demonstrations are being made daily
by the Howard Motor Car company of
what the Prayer Miller motor trucks
will do for the shippers of heavy
goods, and the figures are at hand to
show the economy of the service of
these horseless vehicles, the difference
in their capacity placing the horse
power deliveries of the past far in the
shade.
With an energy and industry that is
commendable the Howard Motor Car
company is building up for itself a
strong reputation before the public.
President Charles D. Howard is an in
defatigable worker and deserves the
success that will surely come to the
concern of which he is the head
through his persevering efforts to
please the public and satisfy his
patrons.

ROYAL TOURIST IS
A MAGNIFICENT CAR
Strictly High Class Car, Beautifully
Curved Lines, Built of Pressed
Steel-DeVeIops Big
Power

Almost unannounced, but neverthe-
geles the past week a car that will at
tract the attention of admirers of the
'car beautiful" 1t is the Royal Tour
ist and is acknowledged to be one Of
the roomlest and classiest cars ever
seen upon the streets of Los Angeles.
1t is a high class car In every particu-
lar. made in its own factory of the
best materials and workmanship known
to skill and experience.
Mountain Bros. have obtained the
agency for the Royal Tourist for Los
Angeles and all of Southern California,
and as an initial stunt for this beauty
to perform, William Mountain called at
one of the local theaters and selected
bevy of handsome chorus girls, to the
number of fifteen, loaded them into the
Royal car, royalty named, and under
the sixty horse power of the easy and
graceful running machine, gave them
run to the beach as easily and COM
Portable as though having but her
driver at the wheel.
IT is doubtful II ever a more grace
full line car has been seen In motordom.
The pattern is of the curved variety,
the body of the car being made of
same material. The wheel base is 1875
inches, which gives additional grace
to the machine-the wheels are 36-inch
and the tires 36x5 inches, making an
easy riding car The power is so horse
power of the four cylinder class, the
stroke and bore of the engine 51ax6,
with three-inch valves. II has a high
tension Bosch magnetic, high tension
commutator, with two six-sixty storage
batteries, all other cars having but one
storage battery 1t has four speeds for
ward and one backward of the selected
type and has three brakes on the foot
brake and two on the emergency
What will strike the observer most is
the roominess of the car affording COM
fort to the occupants. The steering
wheel is twenty inches. Every bolt,
large or small, is locked. 1t has a
thirty-gallon gasoline tank and an
emergency tank of five gallons, and oil
capacity for five gallons. enough to
carry the car for 450 miles. Electric
Rushmoor headlights with three full
kits of tools complete the equipment
of the car.
Mountain Bros. at present located in
their big garage at 953 South Main
street are the agents for Southern Cali
fornia. but they are preparing to move
TO larger and more convenient quar-
ters at an early date. They will re-
ceive soon a four-cylinder 40-horse
power Royal Tourist. deliveries for
which can be made in October. but the
sixties can be obtained at once.

IMPLEMENT HOUSES ARE
CATERING TO FARMERS

The entry into the automobile field of
implement houses and similar concerns
dealing chiefly with farmers, which is
now taking place. is an event of more
than ordinary Importance. 1t is one
of the many signs which show that the
motor vehicle is being taken seriously
as a companion, and ultimately a sup
planter of the horse-drawn buggy,
which. is used so extensively by the
farmer. It means, therefore, that the
doubts formerly entertained regarding
the matter have been set at rest and
that concerns catering to the farmers
trade have made up their minds that
the time for holding aloof has passed.
On the other hand, the number of
concerns producing cars adapted for
farmers use is increasing, thus bring
ing into the regular channels of supply
vehicles entirely suitable for the pur-
pose.

LITTLE MAXWELLS FIND
HILL CLIMBING EASY

There is little doubt that not only
the small cars, but also those of me-
dunn power and price have found
most formidable opponent in the new
Maxwell 22-horse power model Q, which
continues to clean up one hill climbing
event after another. Only short time
ago i,l the annual hill climb held at
Ossining, under the auspices of the
Upper Westchester Automobile club,
the little car defeated the entire field
of eleven American cars, which in
cluded six-cylinder competitors costing
$4,000 and over A little later followed
the climb of Giants Despair with an
other victory for the Q. In the Algon-
quin hill climb the little 22-horse power
car defeated everything in it's class.
and repeated the performance in the
Richfield Spring hill climb by captur-
ing first and second prizes. Altogether
1t seems as though the small car field
might well look to its laurels.

He viii Get His

The story is related of a liveryman
who possessed a horse that was not
afraid of automobiles. Yet, whenever
one was encountered the liveryman
would hold up his hand and compel the
motorist to halt, and sometimes even
to stop his engine. Then the liveryman
would laugh, chirp to his horse and
drive off. Retribution turks in wait for
that smart person.

NO PROTECTION FOR SNAILs
French Authorities, After Grave Con
sideration, Decide They Arc
Not Game.

The civil status of the snail has
been decided by the French council
of state. Last year the general coun-
ell of the 1onne department passed
q resolution that the snail should be
treated as game and so should re-
ceive the benefit of close season.
Gourmets rejoieed, for the future
Of this delicacy seemed once more as
sured, but the Yonne councillors for
got the administration - without
which nothing moves in France.
Their resolution was forwarded to
the project who sent it to the minis
ter of agriculture.
The ministry pondered over it
for nearly year and examined all
he laws that touched on the ques-
ion. This inquiry has resulted in
circular published in the Bulletin
de agriculture which declares that
the snail is "neither game nor fish,
but only an agricultural parasite, y
and as such can be destroyed at all
times and all seasons.
The Yonne councillors are now
thinking Of introducing a special law
into the chamber to protect the
snail.
