The most attractive and most beau

| Topeka are two SpeedweIl cars, manu-
featured at Dayton, Ohio, which have
| just been driven from Kansas City this
week They are both torpedo type
| bodies; one a perfect ivory color,
striped in gold, belonging to Robt. Bill
| lard, and the other a dazzling red, the
property of Philip Billiard. These cars
| have powerful engines. being so horse
power and CAPABLE of developing 70 to
so miles per hour. They are equipped
with the most up to date lighting sys-
TENS known for automobiles. the
| "Aplco" Electric System; the cleo
tricity being generated by the engine
and used throughout for headlights,
side, tail and speedometer lights. The
speedometers used on both cars are
the Warner instruments. recognized by
all as the only accurate speed 1nd1ca-
tors on the market. Both cars are up
holstered in imported Spanish leather.
Thev have a wheel base of 131 inches,
and 38x41a inch tires, they are perhaps
the most easy riding of cars. Consid-

they are unquestionably as near noise
less as any gasoline car in the city.

! sirenos, trunks, etc, they will be the
most deliberately equipped cars IN To-
