FREIGHT REDUCTION
ON FORD AUTOMOBILES
This Will Mean Lower Price
on Motor Car

An important announcement to the
automobile trade has been made by
Ivan L. de Jongh, manager or the
Standard motor car company, to the et-
feet that owing to arrangements with
the Ford factory whereby the local con-
cern secures an unusually large num-
Der of Ford machines for the coming
season. together with greatly increased
shipping facilities, the freight rates
on Ford cars will be reduced from $125
to $50.
In speaking of The reduction of
freight. which win necessarily mean
the lowering of the price of Ford cars
on the coast $50, De Jongh said: we
have made every effort to follow out
the policy of the Ford factory in giving
purchasers of automobiles the very
best cars for the least money, and l.
received word from w. c. Hughson,
who is at present at the factory, to
the effect that he had closed arrange
ments with the Ford motor company
which would enable us to reduce the
already low cost of Ford cars. This
means that purchasers of cars of this
type will have the same advantage or
dealing with the local house as they
would have by purchasing direct from
the factory, and in fact the freight
rates to be charged by the Standard
motor car company is less than pur-
chaser could get by shipping single
car from Detroit, and this is to be IN
effect from today

FOUR CYLINDER CAR
HARD ON MECHANISM
So Declares II. H. Franklin,
Well Known Dealer

Contrary to popular impression, the
six cylinder automobile will not climb
hills any better than four cylinder,
nor will is run slower on the throttles,
is the statement made by President
H. H Franklin of the H. H. Franklin
manufacturing company, and he con-
tinues: True, these are the main fea-
lures claimed by most makers. But they
tand six cylinder construc-
tion. The properly designed six cylinder
automobile is lighter per horsepower
than the four smoother in operation
and easier on tires. 1t does not require
the heavy fly wheel required for d four
cylinder engine of high power. In four
cylinder construction as power is in
creased the weight of the fly wheel has
to increase more than the power, and
therefore weight in the whole vehicle
must be increased, else the vehicle VIII
not long withstand the power shocks.
Heavy fly wheels are very hard on
the driving mechanisms. In fact, heavy
fly wheels cause more trouble TO drlv-
ing mechanisms than anything else.
The properly designed six cylinder
motor is more scientific than four. 1t
is light weight, highly balanced power
plant Instead of the heavy fly wheel re-
quired on the four cylinder motor the
fly wheel, because of steady engine
torque, can be very light. The power
plant is easy on the whole automobile
from the tires to the engine. When rid
ing or driving you can readily recog-
nize its superior smoothness over the
high powered four.

DIAMOND TIRE MAN
TALKS WEAR AND TEAR

We have made no radical changes in
our tire for 1910" said c. E. Mathew
son, Pacific coast manager of the Dia-
mond rubber company, today. speaking
of this years product, yet in many
ways our tires show an improvement
that can not but result in greater econ
omy and satisfaction 10 the user, whose
interests we aim at all times to con-
serve.
Take the matter of removing from
crude rubber the elements tending TO
produce or advance deterioration in the
finished product. Important, isn't it?
The one and only concern succeeding in
doing this to a marked degree is the
Diamond rubber company, and our sue
cess in this work has enabled us TO
produce a pew inner tube which we
can eonscientiously say is the toughest
yet the most elastic ever turned out,
and with a compound that absolutely
defies heat and light to effect the tubes
life and usefulness.
Our castings this year will still be
of the famous mountain tread con-
struction, but even a little heavier and
with the tread proper brought down a
little farther on the sides TO afford still
greater protection to the body against
abrasions, wear and stone bruising.
The frictioning and side walls, where
pure para is used. shows still further
our ability to eliminate deleterious e1e-
ments, with the result that still greater
resiliency and longer life are impaired
to the body. Then again. we are the
oldest manufacturers of rubber tires
in this country and very naturally
number in our employ old, tried and
experienced tire makers, whereas new
concerns springing up must of neces-
sity use inexperienced help.

JUBILEE"
A THANKSGIVING
Owners of Cars Meet Annually
to Rejoice

A line of cars that has been most
interesting this season has been put
out by the Mitchell factory through
the Osen & Hunter automobile COM
pany locally. The Improvement, or to
be more explicit, the advancement
made in the 1910 models is the most
prominent in the six cylinder Mitchell.
What has been most satisfactory in
the past in four cylinders has been
more than Increased in the same model
of cars. and in the six. It is peculiar
but yet true that the owners of Mitch
ell cars take a particular pride in their
special make of motor car. The oft
time phrase, the Mitchell family is
not merely an advertising slogan but
a reality. Mitchell owners greet one
another as if they belonged to one
great family. and this is proven very
forcibly at the reunion, known as the
annual Mitchell jubilee If the Mitch
ell cars were not satisfactory it would
be impossible for this condition to eX-
ist. The great numbers that come to-
gether from all parts of the state
could not be brought together if it
were not that the owners did not wish
to meet the representatives of this
make of car to show their appreciation
of the treatment received and the
pleasures they enjoy in owning a
Mitchell.

Statistics for 1909. show that there was
an increase over the cars in use in
1913 OF 46 per cent or 27,000 cars An
interesting feature of the statistics and
one that should make the motor car
owner and manufacturer take notice
Is the fact that the United States mark
eted during 1903 more cars than were
brought out by the other nations COM
blned. In round numbers il is esti-
mated that France put out $4,000, Eng
land 10000, Germany 1000 and Italy
5000 That America took a prominent
part in the motor industry of the other
nations is shown by the following,
which is taken from the government
reports for the nine months ending
September, 1903 The value of parts
and automobiles shipped during that
period amounted TO s6,099,S57, as
against s4.346,29S last year during a
corresponding period. Add to this the
business done in the last three months,
which is not reported, and there is
easily seen that the increase is about

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
BUILDED INTO CORBIN

In marked contrast TO the east is the
record Of the number Of owners Of
Corbin motor cars in San Francisco.
The only plausible deduction for this
condition is the fact that the Corbin
agency has only lately been established
in san Francisco and that the buying
public has not come TO fully appreciate
the beautiful craftsmanship displayed
in the production Of this car. There
are but very few cars Of its price that
compare favorably with it. Its me
chanical perfectiOns are not the result
OF 2 few years engineering. The COM
Uany that builds this car has for
years built d line of hardware that is
standard The mechanical perfection
in the later line brought out by years
Of experience has been applied by
some Of the best automobile experts in
the country to the Corbin motor car.
and the fact that the car has behind
it such well known organization. well
known for its great financial strength
and reputation for the production Of
high grade goods should be a guar
sntee OF the thoroughness and superb
ority Of the Corbin car.

Auburn cars in this city, said yes
terday that the Auburn two cylinder
cars this season are practically the
same as last years. with the eXcep-
ton OF number of rehnements, but
the four cylinder Auburn is more than

powerful. The Hill climbing procAvi-
ties are wei known by the demonstra-
tions which have been taking place in

climb as well as make good endur
ance runs. The lines of the car are
most artistic, and the color scheme fol-
lowed is refined and striking. Among

HOW TO DECREASE
YOUR TIRE COST
]. S. Weise of the Continental
Caoutchouc Company
Gives Advice

j. S. weise of the Continental caout-
of the Continental tires. in recent In
terview, gave some invaluable rules on
the care of tires, which if followed
would lessen tire expense, the cry of
the motor car owner. Weise said:
Keep your tires well inflated. Your
tires should stand round under the
load; the larger the tire the better;
thereby you will obtain more service
be bothered with fewer punctures, and
blowouts-es in a good tire
will be rare.
Cuts of any considerable size and
punctures should be vulcanized, so as
to keep dampness or dirt from the fab
ric, as same is liable to rot and ca use
blowouts.
Occasionally test the valve stem of
your inner tube, as your tire may run
partially fiat for some distance, caus-
ing an injury to the fabric.
Keep your tires away from heat. oil
or any greasy substance, as they cause
the rubber to jeteriorate.
PAY attention to your wheels and
axles, and see that your tires are not
forced to run untrue, as this is very
harmful.
Have a good place to carry any extra
inner tubes. so as to keep them clear
in your tool box.
IF your car is equipped with four
wheels of like size it is good plan to
change the tires around occasionally
that is, if one side of a tire is much
worn, turn it around.
IF your tires are apparently in good
shape don't be afraid to pump them up
hard, as they will not burst.
Don't throw your brake on hard
with your machine going at even mod
crate speed, as an unnecessary strain
is put on the tires.
Beware of car tracks, and avoid
running over distractions when not
necessary
Keep your valve stem and stay bolt
nuts tight, and tires pumped up, in or
der that water can not get into the
tires.
Never run on a fat tire, as casing
and tube will be easily damaged to
such an extent that further use is out
of the question.
"A great many people drive mostly
at top speed, burning their tires up.
Then they complain that they have not
had sufficient mileage; this is just one
instance of where the tire is always
getting the worst of it.
Rim cutting is caused by tires not
fitting perfectly, by sharp or rusty
edges on the rim or by running tires
partly Debated.
DO not take corners fast, as by so
doing tires are subjected to much
strain.
DO not use chains on your tires.
except as absolutely necessary, as they
loosen your treads, and do great
amount of harm to your tires. Fur
thermore, tire manufacturers do not
guarantee tires on which chains have
been used.
Use demountable rims, and by so do
ing avoid the usually rusty bands
on the quick detachable rims, about
which, no doubt, you have heard many
man curse.
BY using demountable rims your
extra tires are ready fiated on the side
of your car In this way water, etc,
can not reach inside the castings, and
the tire, in general, is preserved to a
greater extent than otherwise.
Leading car makers acknowledge
that year or so will see the general
adoption of demountable rims as stand
ard equipment"
