MILLIONAIRE PASADENAN Sc
CURES LANDAULET
Chauffeur Makes Trip in EMF "3o
to Lancaster and Back, 220
Miles, in Ten Hours
Running Time

Frank T. Holder, the well known
millionaire of Pasadena, whose pala-
tial home in Southern California is one
of the most beautiful of its kind in the
country, has just accepted delivery of
his seventh Studebaker automobile.
His sixth and seventh cars are of the
popular CT model, the former being
touring car and the latter landau
let. The Studebakers say they are
particularly proud of the number or
sales that have been made during the
past year to persons of note in all parts
of the United States.
II. P. Shea, driving an EMF 30
touring car, last Tuesday made the
trip to Lancaster and back, distance
of 220 miles, in ten hours running
time, with a full load. He expert
enced no difficulty with his car and
never once was out of the seat for
any purpose whatever due to any IN
efficiency on the part of his machine.
Mr.. Shea met three cars stalled on the
Newhall grade, and reports that 1t is
in frightful shape at the present time.
He was able to make the back side of
Newhall without any difficulty on the
second speed. Mr.. Shea went to Ian
caster via Mint canyon, and reports
the roads beyond Newhall in very fair
shape.
The Lord Motor Car company has
just sold to Howard e. Huntington a
new Studebaker CT touring car which
will be delivered about the first of
May. Mr.. Huntington formerly owned
Packard.
Mrs. Eliza Huston has just purchased
Studebaker CT touring car, with
blue body and yellow gear, which car
was delivered to her yesterday.
Harry Lord of the Lord Motor Car
company left Friday morning for a
two days fishing trip to Catalina. VIII
the Catalina monsters please take no.
tice?
The Pasadena branch of the Lord
Motor Car company, which handles the
Studebal1er line of cars in Southern
California, will be open Monday morn
inc. for business, and the prospects are
that the garage will be well filled, as
the number of applications for storage
already has exceeded their eXpecta-
tions.
T. C. Kingman has just purchased an
EMF 80, with full equipment, of the
Lord Motor company, and will use the
car to see Southern California up to
the time he returns north, when he will
drive the car to San Francisco and
ship from there to Spokane.
The Flanders 80 arrived in town by
express day before yesterday and has
been kept going day and night since
it's arrival This is a popular sized car
at a popular price, and the sales al
ready made indicate that it is very
live proposition.

REPORTS SALE OF
MANY BUICK CARS
Manager of the Local Howard Branch
Says Business Is Due to Fact
That Immediate De-
livery is Made
ELSIE j, AS

While there are many who regret
that the popular little Buick cars are
not to be seen on the racing track at
Ascot park during the present meets
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the OPP
portunity to again see Nick Nikrent
and his brother on the white cars may
soon be accomplished. The Nikrent
boys have always had the admiration
of the Los Angeles public because of
their dead game staying qualities and
rare good judgment in the racing
game.
These boys probably have been in
more races than all of the drivers or
the Pacific coast combined and have
won more first prizes than any in
dividual drivers locally, and one never
hears q word Of boasting or personal
laudation from either of them.
While matters reign silent in the
Buick racing camp for the present
things are different in the selling
branch. Frank Howard, manager of
the Los Angeles agency, report the
records all broken in the sale of Bucks
since the close of the big auto show at
Fiesta park February 26.
In eleven working days thirty cars
have been sold and delivered to buyers,
the largest volume of business ever
done by the local Buick agency. the
deliveries being as follows: e. A. Doug
las, Riverside; l.. B. Vollman, Mon
rovia; w. H. Coukthurst, Whittier,
two; C. L. Anscomb, Ontario; Louis
Bradbury, Duarte; Pioneer Auto COM
pany, Long Beach; George w. Bisbee,
Pomona; E. r. Braley, Pasadena, two;
Beebe- Weisel company, Anaheim; c.
r. May, Claremont Washburn Bros,
South Pasadena; Dave Smith, attor-
ney; e. M. Ford; Bakersfield Auto
Garage, Bakersfield; ]. F. Mcintyre;
D. and P. Pump company Service
Bros, M. V. Hartranft, Brunswick
Drug company, S. L. Turner, E. f.
Pridham, e. S. Barrow, II. A. Edwards,
j. F. Mcintyre. J. c. Anderson, Barber
Asphalt company, A. l.. DEMO, John
e. James and John II. Smith, all of
Los Angeles.
Mr.. Howard. in speaking of these
phenomenal sales, states he attributes
many of them due to the fact that i'm
mediate deliveries are made from the
floor of the salesroom instead of TAX
ing orders and the buyer compelled to
wait month for the car he might be
using during the most pleasant season
of the year for motoring.

RUESS IS READY TO
Defend BALDY PRIZE
WINNER OF MOUNTAIN CON
TEST ISSUES CHALLENGE
Daring Los Angeles Chauffeur Will
Operate Pope-Hartford in Hill
Climbing Race-PIaces
Entry Fee at $1,000

Billy Ruess, winner of the last Badly
race, announces that he will be ready
to defend the trophy on which the
name of the Pope Hartford has been
engraved. This is the first gun of the
most talked of race in the west
There has been some Badly talk OF
late" said Ruess, 80 l thought |
would come out with my announce
ment, so in the future we can have
action and not talk AS my Pope
Hartford won last year and in ac-
cordance with my agreement with Col.
F. c. Fenner, i have the right to name
the entry fee for the 1910 race.
81 Cake that right and name the
entrance entrance fee as $1,000, winner
take ALL I stand ready to post my
forfeit or any part of it the minute a
rival contestant appears. l hope there
will be many"
OF course, Ruess thinks he will win
again. He broke all records last year
by reaching the mountain top, 100 miles
away, in three hours and four sec
onds. He predicts that he will go up
away under three hours this year.
Cars Not Entered
Just what cars will fight it out this
year with the Pope Hartford is UNI
certain. Last year there was a White
and the Apperson Jackrabbit. These
have not been heard from thus lar, but
it would not be surprising to see both
back again striving for Bills scalp.
Ruess announces that he will ask no
more changes in the rules. with the ex-
ception of the entry one. The rules
which governed last year will be used
again.
The race is usually held in Septem
ber but Badly talk always starts
early. The course has been badly
damaged by the winter rains, and it
will be necessary to make some re-
pairs. Ruess will do what the ma
jority desire regarding fixing the road.
AS far as he and his Hartford are con-
cerned, the road cannot be too bad.
In the last race Ruess made the fastest
time on the smooth road and on the
rough.
This is the first statement Ruess has
made that he would defend the honors.
The Hartford will be prominent in
coast racing this year In addition to
the Badly race it will appear in the
Portland road race the Santa Monica
road race and the San Francisco road
race.

was the winner in 4:57 rs. with the
Marmon second and the Palmer Singer
third.
The twenty-mile event, in which a
new coast record was set, had four
starters-Corbin. Marmon. Palmer
Singer and Pennsylvania. In the sixth
mile the Palmer-Singer was disabled
and withdrawn, and the Pennsylvania
was outclassed. The Marmon was
winner In 1910.
Three Start in Big Event
The third and big event was the fifty
mile race. with seven entries, but only
three starters. the other machines hav-
ing been disabled. The Cole 80 was par
ticularly unfortunate, as 1t was entered
in the three contests but broke down
before the start i'm the first event.
Prizes were awarded by the point
system. Harroun. as winner of the
highest number of points in the three
classes, received a trophy emblematic
of the Southern California free-for-all
track championship and $125.
The track was in excellent condition,
and there was very little dust to inter
fere with driving or with the view of
the public. After the races Mr.. Har-
roun received the glad hand from all
the drivers.

GARAGE TERMED

PEAN PLAN
"GUEsT" MUST BE REGISTERED
SAME AS HUMAN BEINGS
Most of Machines Are Kept In Repair
and TldIness by Men Emu
ployed at Motor Car
"Hote"

Automobile boarding houses, strictly
European plan, is the dignified defini-
ton of garages. But as in the ac-
commodations for the human family
is the systematic business arrangement
under which the motor car boarding
industry Is conducted.
In a we'll conducted garage an office
similar to that of hotel, with guest
register, room board and mail box, is
required. When a machine Is entered
for boarding the make and owner is
registered and q stall assigned. A
time schedule is kept of each arrival
and departure of the car, and the con-
troll of the car while in the garage is
solely under the management.
No machine is allowed to remain in
the aises and no owner is allowed to
do anything that would annoy his
neighbor Permission must be secured
from the management If an owner de-
sires to make any repairs in his stall,
and he must see that all tools are
gathered up and placed safely away
when the work is finished. Most gar
ages assign a locker to each boarder.
so that the owner may provide his own
supplies If he so desires.
Garage Is Busy One
But the majority of boarders are
looked after by the garage people, Cars
are regularly busted. washed, oiled and
kept ready for instant use by a force
of employees. 1t is so much easier to
board" a car than to have a private
garage that it is estimated that more
than one-half of the motor cars owned
in Los Angeles are kept in public gar
ages, OF which there are more than
100 in the city.
garage is the most profitable of
any portion of the automobile bust
ness, for the net profits on the sale of
a machine as figured by percentage is
in reality small. and If 1t were not for
the revenues from the boarders it
would not be possible TO keep up many
of the handsome salesrooms on auto
mobile row. The sale of gasoline by
the garages reaches an enormous fig
ure, as approximately 10000 barrels a
month are distributed by the garages
in Los Angeles.

for i'm the twenty-mile event the pop
ular local driving idol. Livingston, in
the Corbin, held him down to mar

the lead in the tenth mile. A prettier
or better driven race scarcely could
have been possible.

when in the eighth mile he ripped a
tire in the first quarter, which neces-
STATED the replacing of the tire, the
lost time amounting to fully a minute
and a half, though the tire change

race and lowering the worlds record,
made by Livingston a week ago, by
ten seconds, gave a wonderful per-

SEWING MACHINE AGENCY
BUYS MANY REQ CARS

No fewer than 200 orders were placed
for REQ models by enterprising man
ayers of sewing machine agencies, tior-
lists, Iaundries and bakeries throughout
the country within the last week, the
makers claim. Coincident with the
enormous demand for this utility REQ
comes the news that j. f. Levi &c Co,
the Georgia REQ distributors, recent
" sold twenty-five of these convertible
Reos to the manager of "A wideawake
and successful Atlanta sewing machine
agency. The big order was secured
after a thorough investigation had been
made between the relative merits OF
the REQ and the best cars sold in At
lanta. Mr.. Levi says that the new REQ
left -hand drive, it's one-piece crank
case and its big 34-inch tires of stand

full four-cylinder motor, high quality

simply irresistible with careful buyers.

The demand for the new automobile

refneries of this city has already ex-
ceeded the supply of the refinery, and
no effort has been made to extend the
sales of this product outside the city
limits. All of the racing cars entered
in the Ascot park meets are using Au-
toline and the drivers are loud in their
commentator of the power the fuel

ing OF plugs and cylinders.

about having everything so that every
