STUDEBAKERS GET
EMF INTERESTS
Contract of Pacific Motor Car
Company Taken Over by
Local Branch,
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

Chester n. Weaver, vice president and
general manager of the Studebaker
Brothers company of California, yester-
day verified the report of the reaching
of an agreement between the Pacific
motor car company of this city and
the local Studebaker interests. By the
agreement the latter concern assumes
control of all the retail trade of the
EMF company in the counties of San
Francisco, Alameda. Contra Costa and
Marin, the territory which was con-
trolled by the Pacific motor car COM
pany following its appointment as the
EMF agent prior to the consolidation
of the Studebaker Brothers manufac-
turing company and the EMF COM
pany.
Purchase of all the contracts held by
the Pacific motor car company is in
cluded in this deal and it also means
the turning over to the local Stude-
baker branch of all the EMF and
Flanders cars which the Pacific people
held for delivery in their particular
territory for distribution throughout
the states of California and Nevada by
the Studebaker company.
The reaching of this mutual agree
ment between the Pacific motor car
company and the Studebakers marks
the final chapter in the great consoli-
dation of the EMF company and the
Studebakers. 1t put the scheme of
distribution of the popular EMF line
of cars, the EMF go" and the Flan-
ders "20" back upon the basis of last
year. 1t is considered by all concerned
as a most amicable and simple settle
ment of a deal which for a time was
exceedingly Intricate and involved
Speaking of the transaction Weaver
said yesterday:
Our transaction with the Pacific mo-
tor car company is a mutual agree
ment whereby the Studebakers gain i'm
mediate control of all the EMF and
Flanders cars held by the Pacific peo-
pie for our distribution throughout the
states of California and Nevada. 1t
also gives us the absolute control of
the retail trade of the EMF line in
San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa
and Marin counties. The situation, in
other words, reverts to Its condition
during the year 1909. 1t is the final
step in the consolidation of the Stude-
baker and the EMF interests all over
the country. 1t is a most amicable and
simple settlement of deal which at

Lundy was accompanied by his wife
and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Sadlier. The
start was made at 1850 o'clock in the
morning and in one hour and three
minutes Virginia City was reached.
This, however, equaled a performance
Lundy made in a Dorris last year.
Through the city sped the car and over
the road beyond until at 10:45 it came
to a standstill in front of the Yer1ngton
hotel.
The occupants of the car knew that a
record was being set and there was
little conversation, each one entering
into the spirit of the trip. Lundy re-

From Roanoke, Va, to New York the
pathfnding task will be easy, as much
the same route as the 1909 tour will be
followed, only reversed. However, from
Roanoke south there will be great
deal of work for the pathfinder, as it is
intended to straighten out few of the
kinks and confusing points, which will
reduce the mileage to an even 1,000
miles between the two cities, instead OF
1860 miles.
