spring and summer. This is attributed
to the fact that the automobile has de-
veloped into more of a necessity than
formerly. Business men find that to
do without their machines during any
part of the year would be detrimental
to their business.
Time was when the owner of a mo-
tor car ran his machine into the garage
with a sign of the approach Of cold
weather." said one Of the local dealers.
Motoring during the winter months
was regarded as anything but pleasur-
able in the years gone by, and few cars,
indeed, were to be seen on the streets of
Salt Lake.
But the motorists attitude has
changed. He practically knows no sea-
son; and the great number of cars
which now see service every day
throughout the winter, the same as in
summer, seems to show that winter mo-
toring has been found almost as pleas
ant pastime as summer driving.
Motor cars have become so necessary
an adjunct to the daily lives of the ma
Jorfty of owners that the factories
know no more of the rush season

NEW LOW-PRICED
MACHINE COMING
Cline and Peck to Place Little
Beauty on the Market
Here.

A new machine is to be introduced
into Salt Lake with the opening up Of
the Brush agency by the firm consist
ing of NJ. A. Cline and Joe Peck. Space
has been secured by the new company
at the coming auto show, and in the
course Of a week or two the new cars
will be selling in Salt Lake. Mr.. Peck
is at present in the city looking for a
location for the establishing of the new
company, and has announced that al
ready a shipment of Brush-Detroit cars
are now on the way.
The new Brush car will add consider
able to the line of cheaper cars being
handled in the city. Mr.. Peck said yes
terday that he felt the need Of more
cheaper cars here in Salt Lake, and that
his company was ready to supply any
amount Of the little cars.
The announcement Of the 1910 Brush
car at $485 has created quite a sensa-
ton in the automobile world" said Mr..
Peck. 4 believe that as the car has
created a sensation throughout the
country, that it viii also be well re-
ceived in Salt Lake. I understand that
there is a big demand in this part of the
country for the less expensive car, and
we are here ready to supply that de-
mand.
1T is our intention to open up bust
ness just as soon as we can locate a
place where to show our cars. We have
several places in mind, but as yet have
not decided definitely where we shall
locate. 1 believe that the Brush car
will be well received in Salt Lake, and
there is no reason why it should not be
so received. It is without a doubt the
! classiest car built for the money.
New Low Priced Car.
at is practically a new car in power,
smoothness, speed and looks, yet built
on proven principles, by an organlza-
ton already perfected. The 1910 Brush
not only outclasses all of the other
small cars, but is far ahead of its own
previous high standard. It's balanced
motor is a great Brush achievement.
The result of the single cylinder SIM
plicity, reliability, light weight, low
gasoline and oil consumption, low tire
expense, four-cylinder power and
smOOthness. It is without a doubt the
most wonderful production in the way
of automobiles in years.
Its performance is almost unbeliev-
able. You would swear, by watching
the car, that 1t has four cylinders. It's
power is astonishing. 1t responds to the
throttle instantly and fairly eats I'D the
hills.
"The car does not stand alone on its
appearances. 1t has records better
than any. In the Little Glidden Tour
at Minneapolis it finished with perfect
score and won the Gregg trophy over
three four-cylinder cars. It climbed
Pixies Peak in eight hours, every inch
of the way under its own power. It has
crossed the American continent several
times. Last year the Brush won the
Algonquin hill climb in it's class. In
the Denver Motor club run, Denver to
Pueblo and return, the Brush was the
only car out of the sixteen that started
to finish with a perfect technical score.
The machine is Of ten horsepower, and
can go as fast as forty miles per hour"

The Discovery

Here is an outline of the story-just enough to
make you want it all.
Two years ago, Mr.. John n WHY'S was dealer
in automobiles. There came to him one day a re-
markable car-evidently the creation of a mechan-
ical genius. The simplest sturdest, smoothestrun-
ming car that anyone around there had seen.
The name of the was the Overland. And the
price-then $1,250-was amazing the car
itself
The sale Of this car spread like wildfire. Each
sold brought call for twenty others like it. Old
and new motor car owners came by the score to de-
post advance money-attracted by the Overlands
matchless simplicity
But the cars did not come. And when Mr.
WHY'S went to the makers he found them on the
verge of receivership.
The genius which had created this marvellous car
could not finance the making in the face of the 1907
panic
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-02-13
The New Start

Mr.. WHY'S in some way met the overdue pay
rol-took over the plant-and contrived to fill his
customers orders
Then the cry came for more cars from every
place where Overland had been sold. As the new
cars went out, the demand became overwhelming
The factory capacity Outgrown in short order
Then tents were erected.
Another factory was acquired, then another, but
the demand soon OUtgrew all three
During the next fiscal year these factories sent
ont 4,O75 Overland cars Yet the demand was not
half supplied
Dealers fairly fought for preference. Buyers
paid premiums. Meme could be content with a les
ser car when he once saw the Overland.
All this without advertising About the only adj
vertisng the ever had up to this time was what
users told others.

ANCIENT AUTO IS
STILL IN SERVICE

4 little Baker Electric, now lying in
the garage of the Taxicab company, is
claimed to be the oldest machine now
being used in Salt Lake. The machine
is at present fit for use at any time, al
though it would hardly do for making
a tour to San Francisco, nor would it
come out successfully in a hill-climb-
ing contest, but when it comes to the
question of age, the little machine would
surely be awarded the prize.
In the days when the automobile was
considered an experiment, the little Ba-
ker electric made its appearance on the
streets of Salt Lake. People held their
breath and stood in crowds on the cor
ners to see the first "horseless car
riage" The original owner of the ma
chine was Charles Anderson. At one
time he held the distinction of owning
the fastest car I'm the state Of Utah.
For over a year his record Of ten miles
per hour stood good in the city.
The little machine is now being used
daily throughout the city, and is with
out doubt the oldest car in use in Salt
Lake. 1t has passed through the hands
Of several owners, among them being
c. P. Hawley and Paul Rudder.
A large size dry goods box would
serve as a garage for the tiny car, and
a good blast of wind would not have
much trouble in blowing it away. 1t
can go ten miles without being re
charged. The tires are single tubes and
the wheels are similar to the Old-time
bicycle.
The company that made the little Ba-
ker machine is now manufacturing the
Babcock electric, capable of running
100 miles without recharging, and the
new cars can attain a speed of thirty
five to forty miles per hour.

Not many years ago the automobile
owner used his car only during the nice,

it was ordinarily the custom for owners
to drive their cars into the garage at
the first signs of cold weather. This
practice is ali changed, however, ac-
cording to the dealers. and now on the
streets of Salt Lake as many cars may
be seen on the coolest days in winter as
are seen during the warmer days in

The License Ordinance.

We publish in our advertising
columns the business license ordi-
nance for the city Of Bamberg for
the ensuing year. 1t would be well
for every one to look over this ordi-
nance and note carefully it's pro-
visions. All businesses are licensed
and there is also tax on dogs, bi-
cycles, and automobiles. Every one
liable to the tax imposed by this
ordinance should pay it promptly, so
that city council may not be- embar-
rassed in it's enforcement. True the
tax dodger is always with us II
seems, but if this ordinance is right
ly enforced and everybody liable
made to carry their burden OF sup
porting the government, a consider
able income to the city will be re-
allied and yet no tax payer will feel
the burden. 1t is our duty to holo
up the hands of city council, for the
money spent is for the benefit OF the
citizens. This license tax is pay
able the first of August, and penal
ty attaches if not paid promptly.
