Judge Charles o. Prowse
Believes He Has Problem
Solved.

Former County Judge Chas. o.
iProwse, Tuesday morning made the
first test Of his newly invented air.
ship, on the Phelps farm. The test
was highly successful, although in
alighting the support on one wheel
was broken. The motor has not yet
been installed on the monoplane and
was-hitched behind Councilman E.
H. Higgins automobile to get the
necessary momentum.
With Judge Prowse in the opera.
tors seat the airship rose gracefully
and sailed steadily and evenly and
with very little pull on the automo.
bile. The inventor says it fulfilled
every expectation.
He will install a motor as soon as
it is received from the factory and
will then make the final test of the
airship. Judge Prowse claims he
has perfected an automatic balan-
cling device in his machine that is en-
Aely new and will solve the great
houble in aerial navigation.
In rising the machine cleared the
ground four or five feet, but was
kept close to the ground.
The machine will be repaired and
other tests made, after which a real
fight will be attempted.
Judge Orowse's invention is one in
which Hopkinsville feels pride and
interest. His machine was construct
ed in this city and it is altogether
home enterprise.
This puts Hopkinsville in the rank
with Paris. New York and other
large cities that are solving the
problem of aviation.
The machine has a spread of 225
square feet of canvas, with a lifting
power of six pounds to the foot.

HEAD Of HOWARD AUTO
COMPANY Goes EAST
Visit to Insure Arrival of Buick
and OIdSmobiIe Cars for
Licensed Show

C. S. Howard, head of the Howard
Automobile company, agents and dis
tributers of Buick and Oldsmobiles for
the Pacific coast, is in the east visit
ing the several factories whose pro-
ducts he handles. The purpose of his
visit is to insure shipments that will
arrive in time for the licensed deal
ers' show, December "a.
The Howard Automobile company
has secured one of the largest spaces
for the coming event. and with its
Buick line of eight entirely new models
will show three different models or
Oldsmobiles.
The carload containing Oldsmobiles
left the factory on the Both of last
month. Two carloads of trucks con-
tanning show cars are also en- route
from the Jackson factory, and are
"some class" by all reports, as these
cars were brought through In colors
especially for the Los Angeles SHOW
In addition to several minor I'M
provements, the truck will be equipped
with an automatic governor, which,
when set, allows the limit of the speed
desired, but does away with unnec-
cessary racing of the car by novice,
which heretofore has been source or
great trouble.
Probably one of the greatest attrac-
tions of the entire show will be the
exhibition of the Buick Motor COM
pany's collection of over one hundred
valuable trophies.

COMMERCIAL CARS
GAIN STEADY PROGRESS
Business Men Rapidly Adopting
Efficient and Economical
Transportation

Business is like a great river cours-
ing it's way onward through innumer-
able channels and branches of the
worlds activities, the shores of which
are strewn with successes and failures
Unfortunately mostly the later).
In the annals of history I doubt If
any business has developed with rap
idity or taken such a firm grip on the
masses generally as the automobile in
dustry. 1t has a great future-par-
ticularly the commercial end, the sur
face OF which has scarcely been
touched.
This branch OF the business is in it's
infancy. It's development has not been
as rapid as the pleasure end, but with
the realization that the commercial
car is an absolute necessity, also that
the public resents past century meth
ods, skepticism will completely die out,
and in short time this branch of the
industry, with proper generalship, will
reach such a proportion, the magni-
tude of which is beyond figuring.
But great as is the outlook, we may
as we'll be honest with ourselves and
agree 1t will be a battle, a question of
the survival of the f1ttest
The make good'' cars are bound to
win out Up to a few years ago the
commercial automobile industry had
been doing strictly pioneer, hard, up
hill work. The latter was due to the
cry OF the pessimist and skepticism
of the business man, who thought
nothing of expending up in the thou
sands for a pleasure car, yet when 1t
came to a business machine, he hesi-
tated.
However, having proved its necessity
its great advertising value to the
oh of faaIinor iowa ri
the motor-propelled truck and delivery
wagon has been steadily growing
and the time Is ripe for its universal
adoption.
That merchants and manufacturers
in all lines are alive to the value of
the commercial car is evident to all
who get broad view of the situa-
tion all over the world.
The progressive business man of to-
day avails himself of every modern
device for doing things economically
which at the same time is always a
saver of time and labor. Past CEN
tury methods in this age of progression
are an impediment to any concern.
Business men now appreciate that
good commercial motor vehicle as
a means of conducting the delivery
branch of their business is profit
able adjunct.
Not alone are delivery expenses re-
duced by the mechanically correct
motor power wagon, but because OF
the unlimited radius of the motor cars
operation the merchants ability to
reach out over a wide area has very
important bearing.
1t enables Mr.. Business Man to
cater to bigger fields and take care of
customers located at great distance,
thus business and profits are greatly
increased.
But buying a car for business is
Los Angeles herald., 1910-12-11

ginning for a power wagon, but what
it will cost in the end, that should re-
ceive consideration.
To obtain results in every way re-
quires the car built mechanically and
scientifically correct
Skill in design and construction are
often overlooked in the selection, but
it's just these points that determine
the ultimate value of a business ma
chine that safeguards the buyer.
The business machine must be COM
mercially practicable, must be simple
and reliable in operation, must be built
to give service without delay or
holdup, and, above all, must be built
to run at an extremely low cost OF
maintenance
Every means provided to lessen the
cost of repairs increases the value OF
mechanical product, and 1T is sur
prising how greatly this cost can be
decreased. For example, the nara
ened steel bushings on my product
the acknowledgements phenomenal
saving. In explanation 1 state that
every connection on the Grabowsky
(and there are thirty-eight) is pro-
tected with steel bushings that take
up the wear, which, when worn from
normal use, can be replaced Tor 10
cents each,
Accessibility is another vital feature.
The mechanism, which is the heart of
a machine, must be at ones hnger
tips to insure results.
The commercial automobile industry
has a great future There is business
enough for all good cars on the
market
The demand for the right power
wagon is enormous.
Each month since it's inception the
Grabowsky Power Wagon company
has shown a steady increase in lts
sales, until today our plant is strained
to its utmost capacity to handle the
greatly increased business.
Not alone in the automobile indus
try, but in every manufacturing con-
cern, it's quality that counts. The
best principle is to increase any busl-
ness by the value of it's product.

quite different proposition from buy
ing a car for pleasure.
If your pleasure car acts up occa-
sionally-drops out of commission for
day or two every little while and
runs up stiff repair bills-you pocket
your loss and think of the good time
you have had when she's running.
But the business car must be on
the job day after day with no loss of
time, no extravagant bills of upkeep.
Not all power wagons are alike; un-
fortunately the market is flooded with
the impossible kind; hence discrimina-
ting judgment must be exercised in
the selection.
1t is not what one pays in the be-

cupied by Morrow, Loomis & Co., dis
tributors of Interstate cars. and the
F. L. Moore company, distributors Of

have a show frontage of sixty feet

both opened operations in Los, An

new airIess puncture- proof tire, which
was scheduled to start on Monday,
November 21, has been postponed until
after the holidays because Edmund L.
Haas, who was to have made the
Journey, will be detained because OF

is described as airless and puncture-
less, and the construction is patent
ed truss system of rubber cells. 1t is
