KISSEL KAR BUILDING
LARGEST IN Los ANGELE
Factory Branch Moves Into New
Quarters on Pico Street
Near Main

The Kissel Kar people are not only
the pioneers in Los Angeles in estab-
fishing a factory branch, but they
have had constructed the largest build
ing so far devoted to motor cars.
They have moved into their new
building on Pico, near Main, and the
we'll established slogan ''Kisselkar
SERVICE" will be given practical dem
onstration. Every owner of one of
these cars can feel that this new home
is for his use, and his every want
will be attended to.
Manager Leppo is one of the best
glad-handers on automobile row, and
is making hosts of friends for himself
and company His one hobby is to see
that everyone has a good time; and
he particularly extends the courtesies
of his house to the road companies
that play the local houses. 1t was
his pleasure to extend an invitation
to the Imperial Musicians, now play
ing at the Orpheum, and on Thursday
this superb musical troupe were shown
through the big city parks. In full un-
form, and seated in three of the new
Kissel Kars, 1t was one of the clean
est cut aggregations of show folk who
have been in Los Angeles for many
days.
The way the Kissel Kars pulled up
the steep grades of Elysian park, all
the way to the summit, and all on
the high" gave the visitors not only
an enjoyable ride, but shows the con-
sistency of the various types of this

MIDDLE WEST SECURES
CHASSIS ROAD CONTESTS

In accordance, with the policy of a
fair apportionmAnt of national events
over the entire country, the middle
west will this year be the scene of the
national stock chassis road races,
which were last year held In Lowell,
Mass. The contest board Of the Amer
lean Automobile association has
awarded these national races for 1910
to the Chicago Motor club, which in
conjunction with the Elgin Road Rae
ing association will on August rs and
27 conduct the races over the S1a-mtle
circuit at Elgin, I'll.
Races for stock chassis for varying
piston displacement from 16l to 4oO
cubic inches, have been provided FOR
the first day. with valuable trophies
and cash prizes to drivers. The second
day will be devoted to the big race
of 800 miles for the Elgin national tro-
nhv for stock chassis, 600 inches and
under, minimum weights 23OO pounds.
These four races will afford an OPP
portunity for competition of bona fide
stock chassis of all classes, reg1stra-
tions of which have been duly MADE
and accepted by the contest board or
the American Automobile assoclatlon
as fully complying with the require
ments of the 1910 stock chassis rules
All of the essential factors necessary
for the holding of a successful road
race are to be found at Elgin; an ex-
cellent, fast and safe course of 8h
miles without a road crossing, with
but four turns adequately guarded by
the First regiment of the Illinois Ma.
tional guard and large number OF
fiagmen. AS the Elgin course is closely
adjacent to the great western metrop-
oils of Chicago with excellent trans
portation facilities, these stock chassis
races will be easily accessible to 5OO,-
600 people and will be truly national
in scope and character The course IS
now being rapidly prepared and will
be open for practice probably within
the present week. The prompt pay
ment of cash prizes to drivers has
been insured by the deposit with the
contest board of $25OO cash for this pur-

CLOSE ENTRY LIST OF
ELGIN AUTOMOBILE RACE
Thirty-Five Cars of Twenty-Five
Makes to Compete

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The entry list
of the Elgin national stock chassis
road race, which closed tonight, is
the largest ever secured for a road
race in this country. There are thirty
five cars, representing twenty-five
makes, and the field of drivers in
cludes practically every one who has
earned distinction during the last de-
cade.
The course is eight miles, 2499 feet
in length, which will bring cars past
the grandstand on an average of two
to the minute. Fifty thousand gall
Ions of oil dressing has been used on
the roadbed which is twenty feet in
length and like boulevard. Fast time
is predicted by the drivers. There are
straightaways on three sides of the
course The east leg, which is less
than a half mile in length, is shaped
like a hair pin.
The races will be held next Friday
and Saturday.

RECORD BREAKING
CAR COMING HERE
REQ Machine That Beat Cross
continent Mark Expected
This Morning
PERFORMANCE REMARKABLE
Believed Whitman Wilt Lower the
Time Between New York
and Los Angeles
PERFORMANCE REMARKABLE


The REQ car driven by L. L. Whit
man from New York to San Fran
cisco in less than eleven days, beat
ing the previous cross continent rec
ord by four days, is now on its way
to Los Angeles and should arrive here
early Sunday morning, establishing a
new record between the starting and
finishing points. Leon T. Shelter, who
has the matter we'll in hand, is anxious
to see these new records for the pop
ular REQ and is doing all possible to
aid both the drivers and the news
paper men, who are keen for the news
of this celebrated run.
One of the most remarkable features
of the run was the entire lack of trou-
BILE with the car, and when we stop to
consider that this machine left New
York at 1901 a. M, August 8, and left
Ogden, Utah, 1850 miles away at 1901
q. m., August Is, just seven days later,
you will begin to appreciate the mar
velous performance of this car-this
car being no less than five days, a few
hours and some minutes ahead of the
Franklin at that point at the time
the Franklin made the recofo.
From Ogden west, of course, the car
struck the very hardest of conditions.
It was eight hours ahead of its sched-
ule at Montello, 40 miles out of Ogden;
was twelve hours ahead of it's schedule
at Battle Mountain, 800 miles west of
ogden, and eight hours ahead of it's
schedule at Reno, 593 miles west of
Ogden, with but 295 miles yet to go
to San Francisco.
The former record from New York to
Los Angeles was twenty-six and half
days and was recently made by G. H,
Bigelow in a Mercer car, Bigelow cut
ting across the country in as straight
a line as possible.
Having arrived in San Francisco
we'll inside of the record, the REQ car
is being pushed right on through to Los
Angeles, making a New York-to-Los
Angeles record. Understand, the time
taken on this record is from the start
in New York city to the arrival in
San Francisco. There is no such thing
as taking out time for stoppages, etc.
A great deal has been said about Mr..
Whitman and his former transconti-
mental records. Mr.. Whitman deserves
all the praise that has been handed
him, but on the other hand we would
like to say a few good words for the
Hammond, who is the alternate driver
the trip, accompanied Mr.. Whitman on
his very first transcontinental run in
1903 in an Oldsmobile and also has been
on another run with him. Mr. Facet,
head mechanician on this run, was
with Percy Megargel on the two-cyl-
inder REQ in 1905, that made the trip
from New York to Portland, to San
Francisco, to Los Angeles. and back

LAY OUT NEW ROUTE FOR
CAPE COD SUMMER TRAVEL
Complete First Stage of 'Investi-
eating Tour

Many inquiries have been made at
the Touring Club of America regarding
touring conditions on Cape Cod and
other sections of New England along
the seashore since A. L. Westgard,
who mapped out the popular Ideal tour
a few years ago, completed the first
stage of his investigating tour to lay
out a new route for summer travel.
The tour, just completed, traverses,
but in a reverse direction, several sec
tions of the we'll known Ideal tour from
New York to the White mountains
and Poland Springs. The charm of
travelling over the accustomed route
in the opposite direction as occurs on
the run from Boston to Portland and
through the White Mountain country
lies in the fact that the tourists view
the landscape from an entire different
viewpoint, thereby making the trip
virtually a new one.
The road conditions along these por-
tions of the Ideal tour despite the
fact that hundreds of motorists travel
over them every summer, were found
to be in most excellent condition.
Touring throughout all the New
England resorts, according to the re-
ports from the leading centers, is more
popular this year than ever before.
Branching off from the Ideal tour at
many of it's most beautiful points a
number of minor tours of from a half
day to a days duration have been
laid out, and for motorists with few
extra days to spend these shorter trips
through little known localities have
been among the surprising and enjoy
able features of the entire journey.
Mr.. Westgard will this week start
out to complete the route by touring
through the Catskills and visiting
Cooperstown, Saratoga and Lake
GeOrpa regions,

MITCHELL CHASSIS FOR
FIRE SERVICE READY
Long Beach to Have a Splendid
Automobile Equipment in
City Department

The six-cylinder Mitchell chassis
which is to be put in the fire service
at Long Beach will be delivered this
week. The chassis has been ready for
over a month, awaiting the arrival of
the chemical tanks and the compile
ton of the special body which is being
built in Long Beach. All the brass
parts of the car have been nickeled
and 1t will present striking appear
ance with it's handsome nickel tank
and the highly finished body for the
carrying of hose.
Long Beach was one of the pioneer
cities in the west regarding automo-
bile fire apparatus. Four years ago
Long Beach secured a fire wagon pro-
pelled by a motor. Desiring to get
the best in the market, a thorough in
yestigation was made and the many
cars which were considered were put
through a hard test No politics en-
tered into the purchase of the Mitchell.
The members of the council and other
officials interested in the fire service
came to Los Angeles and examined the
cars from every standpoint. Service
in the department is not easy, and
in addition to wanting a car which
would show plenty of speed, it was
necessary that the machine be strong
and stand up for at least five years of
service. P. H. Greer was highly elated
when the Mitchell was chosen.
This is only one cf the many useful
ways in which the cities are using
motor cars" said Greer. cat first they
were looked upon with doubts, but
now every city in the country of any
size is using motor cars for all kinds
of work The hardest worked cars
owned by Los Angeles are the Mitch
ellis worked on the aqueduct. These
cars are hammered for miles and miles
over the rocky and sandy desert roads
and it is a wonder they stand up. Al
most every trip is a rush trip. and
the work which the machines are
asked to do is beyond the comprehen-

INTERSTATE GETS
PERFECT SCORE

The Brooklyn dealers reliability
contest of $50 miles, over the worst
roads which could be picked out
around New York city and Brooklyn.
ended August 10, Interstate leading the
contest with a perfect score for the
two days run.
While one would naturally expect
nothing but the best road conditions
surrounding our big cities in the east,
it is worthy of note that a ten-mile
drive from the city hall park in New
York will show as bad roads and
grades as any of our bad spots in this
country. So when back east they start
to lay out the reliability contest over
bad roads they do not have any more
trouble in finding them than we do.
The cars which negotiate these con-
tests with perfect scores deserve all
credit for their work.

between Greenville and Anderson, S.

The trip is made in an hour and half,

zone of the greatest evidences of the
nower and force of advertising to mold
the public mind that has been exem-
plified in this century, states r. A,
Palmer, secretary and general man
ager of the Cartercar company, 'is the
attention which is being given the
automobile and allied industries right
at the present moment. Everybody is
interesting themselves in the welfare
of the business, and whether or not
they are connected with and dependent
upon it they are predicting what Is
going to happen. And why is it? The
public as a whole does not seem to
care as much about other business in
terests. [ am firmly convinced that 1t
is because of the great force of adVer-
tising which has grown greater and
greater all the time. No other interests
have ever recognized and attempted as
much with this force as have automo-
mile manufacturers.
"Much is said about the 'extrava-
gance' of the public in buying auto
mobiles, and about the calamity
which will result if a. halt Is not called.
Yet these persons have never taken
the trouble to investigate how much is
spent annually in some other lines.
For instance, no one would think OF
saying a word about woman or
child drinking a glass of soda water
when they wish it. They would be
considered deranged if they talked
that everything was going to pieces
and the public would be broke because
of the soda water drank. And yet it
is only matter of statistics that there
was three, yes, four times as much
spent for soda water in the United
States last year as the entire value OF
the automobiles produced.
GIVES STATISTICS
Five hundred millions of dollars
was spent for soda water by the
American public in 1909 All of the
automobiles built last year were worth
only S135, 100000. Where is the ex-
travagance? On the top of this a few
other lines might be referred to, but it
is hardly necessary to point to more
than one-tust one. One billion four
teen million dollars was spent last
year for alcoholic liquors alone We
will not say anything about chewing
gum and cigars.
ut is generally conceded that man
whose income is $4,000 a year can
afford to buy and maintain a moderate
priced automobile There are 100000
families i'm this country which draw
between $4,000 and $4,000 yearly. To
date there has been only about 100000
automobiles built-and the first of
these are not running at present. There
are still 100000 families to be supplied
in this class. But there are 25O,OOO
