the question as TO whether the Prince Of
Wales shall have his formal investiture at
Cardiff or Carnarvon in Wales. Each Of
those places claims to have prior ana
sole right TO whatever glory and honor

named. 1t is limited that the king has been
advised 20 have double investiture, one

One size and one type only-all the facilities of the great Van
Dyke plant at Detroit centered in the perfection of a car for light
delivery purposes capable Of carrying a thousand pounds.
Here is the first car of it's kind tremendously like in concep-
ton and ex~ecution-designed and built for delivery purposes
(and for nothing eBe) in every detail of chassis and body.
Learn how the expense of maintenance is absolutely fixed
how you can assure yourself that your cars will be kept sweet,
clean and in perfect condition every day at a specified charge.
Let us prove to you that one Van Dyke (driver, upkeep and
aL) will do as much work as three or perhaps four horses and
wagons at a much smaller cost and a fraction of the bother. time,
wear, tear and depreciation.
This advertisement appears simultaneously in twenty-five
cities. The immediate response and investigation of dry goods
dealers, department stores, grocers, launderers, butchers, bakers,
confectioners, etc, etc, will determine the number of cars allotted
to each city.
Cover or stake bodies will be furnished regularly; especially
built bodies to suit the requirements of your business will be
charged for at the actual additional cost of building above our

"A safe, sane, simple, power wagon with a fixed and
unvarying cost Of upkeep that will cut down the
expense Of deliveries to the dealer 66s per cent

With the advent of the Van Dyke a new economic condition
is created that affects the profits of every dealer in America who
delivers his own merchandise.
The Van Dyke not only settles for all time the question Of
quick, cheap deliveries, but, what is infinitely more important, it
enables the dealer to know twelve months in advance exactly what
it will cost him to keep his car continuously in perfect condition.
You know in advance percisely what your Van Dyke will cost
you for the ensuing month-figuring it with a great deal more
wagon.
To every merchant who employs two or more wagons the
Van Dyke means a new element of saving and of profit-a reduc-
ton OF 662s per cent in the cost of getting his goods to the GUS
toner.
Only one thousand Van Dyke cars can be allotted to a limited
number of leading cities during the current season.
In every city in which they are installed the Van Dyke guar
antee of continuous service at a minimum monthly cost will be
enforced.
1t solves-positively and permanently-the problem of deiv-
cries; and ushers in the dawn of a day that will consign the old
fashioned delivery wagon to the scrap heap, and relegate the
horse to the period of wellearned rest.

Senator George S. Nixon set forth his
views on some of the important ques-
tons now being discussed by the
citizens of the state and nation, and
the Record takes pleasure in giving
these expressions to its readers.
Here is what he has to say:
ENDORSES ADMINISTRATION
II favor on national lines the en-
dorscment of the Taft administration
i'll general. and particularly tne rall-
road rate bill compelling railroads to
secure the approval of the interstate
commerce commission before advanc-
Ing rates, and bringing the telephone
and telegraph companies under the
scope OF the interstate commerce act
the creation of a system of postal saw
irgs banks; the granting OF separate
statehood to Arizona and New Mexico
inaccordance with the privilege of the
national Platform; conservation legis-
iation. r,aking legal, land Withdrawals
already II adt. and authorizing for the
future all those the president may
deem wise; the appropriation OF $751;
900 to enable the tariff board
appointed by the president, to ascer-
tain the difference in the cost Of pro-
duction at home and abroad,
so that in the future
congress will be able to intelligently
readjust such schedules in the present
tariff Law as may be considered nee
essary, aDo will enter into this
question more fully later on; the
twenty lui'lion dollar bond issue 10
enable the prompt completion, of ir-
rigation projects already undertaken;
the ere atjon of bureau of mines
which Is OF much Importance to The
vest; the law requiring common car
riers ts furnish detailed reports Of
accidents to the interstate commerce
commission, and the law requiring the
use of safety appliances made broad
or and more complete; the unequlvo-
cal and vigorous endorsement of the
interstate commerce commission In
their uecision in what is known as
the Reno rate case, which will, In
due time, enable Elko Winnemucca
and Reno to be active distributing
points for all parts of Nevada, south
crn Oregon and northeastern Calf
ornia.''
II might mention other progressive
legislation, but the above are few
laws passed by the recent congress,
which believe worthy Of commen-
dation.'
