LOOK FOR BRIDE, BUT
DISCOVER NEW PASTOR

where's the bride?" was the query
which passed from one end of Fifth
street to the other Friday, when three
gayly decked American Simplex tour
ing cars wended their majestic way
uptown from the Arcade depot. The
cars were decorated in most approved
nuptiaI style, asparagus plumosus and
pink carnations almost hiding the body
of the autos.
But those who looked for the Newly
weds were disappointed, for it was no
bridal party. The three American
Simplex cars were those belonging to
Mrs. Bekins, wife of the proprietor of
the Bekins- Corey company, and were
used to convey Rev. ]. Whitcomb
Brougher the new pastor at Temple
Baptist church, from the depot to the
home of relatives.
without decorations the American
Simplex is beautiful enough to attract
it's fair share of attention, but when
the trimmings were added everyone
along the streets looked longingly at
the graceful cars. That it was not a
bridal party was disappointing to
many, but to Mrs. Bekins and other
members of the reception committee
the thanks given them by DIR. Brough-
er were extremely gratifying.

practically nothing of the informa-
ton that he seeks. Racing, however,
creates sufficient interest to some
times bring the owners and designers
of the car to the scene of the strife.
The preliminary work on the speed
ways or roads shows many weaknesses
which are sometimes remed1ed before
the day of the contest; if they are not
then remedied the contest itself deVel-
ops them, and the manufacturer learns
lessons of the greatest value. Steering
gears are made stronger or other parts
strengthened as the case may be, while
weight, that all important item, is re-
duced and still of sufficient strength to
stand the severe strain.
"Our cars have been most fortunate
in their performances; we have had
to learn little by defeat, as we have
been among the most consistent win
ncrs; covering the entire distance has
been one of the features that has made
our victories the more certain.
"hTe racing rules as adopted by the
contest board are sure to make for
cleaner stock car and stock chassis
racing, and as this Is the exact car
that the manufacturer is asking the
public to purchase one is compelled to
realize that contests are run with pub
lie favor; moreover the cars which
perform consistently race after race
whether they win them or not are
soon we'll known so that the manufac-
turer is being able to improve his prod
uct to the supreme effort of the motor
builders art is advertising his car in a
manner which is most efficacious.
"Our aim is to develop endurance
and speed so as to give the purchaser
the very best article obtainable for the
money and in eliminating his troubles
we reduce them for ourselves"

Loser of Contest Obtains More Benefit
Than Winner, Is Theory of
Well Known aid Sue
cessful Builder

Howard Marmon of the Marmon Auto
company is one of those who believe
that racing tends to develop the man
ufacture of automobiles to it's highest
point. Mr. Marmon is a close student
of the game, and he has some inter-
esting things to tell, as follows;
Now that the season of 1910 has
opened and the indications now point
toward more contests than ever be-
fore, it causes the American manufac-
turer to give racing affairs more than
passing notice
''I believe that the grueling pace of
contests, the unusual strain on all
parts, develops the necessity for more
perfect equipment, and better cars
more than anything else.
"For years the foreigners have
learned lessons from racing, while the
American manufacturer content to
build and market his, product, has neg
lected to a great extent this part of
the industry, because an industry 1T
can be called lin fact almost a special
business).
IT also contend that the loser of
a race learns more of the weaknesses
of his car and benefits more thereby
than the winner. IN lneSe uayS OF
keen competition all cars look good
when filling the floor space OF automo-
bile shows, but what they will do un-
der severe usage is the question that
the public is asking.
"Our cars sent out on the roads by
demonstrators do not give us the in
formation that we desire; it can not
be properly observed while it is per-
forming; its wear and breakage may
be caused by abuse, and again it may
not be put to a severe test by negli-

So great is the use of Charles A.

showing when it is considered that the
polish has been on the market only one
year. 1t is different from other pol

at the same time gives an unusually
brilliant and lasting luster.
