ORGANIZING FIELD.


The long promised Abbott Detroit
car has arrived and during the Motor
show at Minot recently this beautiful
car was the cynosure of all eyes, it's
fame having preceded it, and the car
itself certainly made good all the en-
thusiastic claims made for it by its
makers.
The field is being rapidly organized
and another season will see the Alb
bott-Detroit hustling competitor of
better known cars at present. The
fact that they can make immediate
delivery of this seasons cars will help
materially in placing a large number
of them the present season. Manager

answers every requirement as to re-
liability and qualityT-at the same |
time holding to a phenomenally low
price. Fas
The illustration of the car shown |
above gives a good idea OF it's gener-

that of other cars. But as soon as
possible. see the car itself That will |
tell the reader more than anything we
could say here.
