As usual. the exhibit of the White COM
pany, OF Cleveland. is one TO attract the
attention Of a great majority Of the WIS.,
itors. The exhibit is unusual, not go much
from the number Of cars shown as the
space allotted TO the White company was
totally inadequate to display their COM
plete line. but from the fact that two dis
tinct tvpes Of cars are shown-the steam
driven and the gasolene driven.
The White company has been building
steam automobiles for so many years that
I'm the minds Of a majority OF the automo-
lille buying public the name White Is
inseparably connected with steamers. II,
therefore. comes as something Of shock
10 those who have visited shows for years
TO discover this time that steamers are only
a part of the White company's exhibit and
that, crowdng them for space. are found
two handsome models, one Of 30-horse-
power and the other Of 40-horsepower In
the gasolene driven type.
1t is also to be noted that the owners
OF White gasoene cars are much to the
fore in all talk upon economy OF opera

IMPORTANCE OF SPARE PARTS
Owners of Rambler Cars Have an Ad-
vantage in This Respect.

Harry Field, president Of the Rambler
Automobile Company Of New York. says
that "the day is not far distant when
every man who buys an automobile will
have learned the advisability Of asking the
salesman from whom he purchases his car
where and how the parts OF that car are
made. and II. in the event that he hap
pened 10 need an extra part at some future
time, would he be able to get II and at
what cost" He added:
"A few manufacturers whose expert
ence has extended over a number OF years.
have been far sighted enough TO devote a.
PARTON Of their capital TO the erection
and equipment Of factories in way that
enables them to produce the most i'm
portant parts Of their car i'm their own
plant, thus protecting the buyer against
fluctuatlng parts prices and giving him
as well such protection as he would not
have should any one OF the factories which
make the parts Of an assembled car go
out OF business. thus making that particu-
lar part obsolete.
Because the Rambler factory is one OF
the very few in which every important
part Of the car is made, we have had
opportunity TO compare the advantage from
the owners standpoint OF the purchase of
a car made entirely in one factory, as
against the assembled car in which the
parts produced in many factories are
brought together"
