$1,000 miles. This is the first time
that this car has ever been overhaul
ed which is a wonderful record for
any machine to have, as this car has
been constantly in use in and around
the plantation, over all kinds of roads,
and under very severe conditions and
has never been spared in the least.
The Won Hamm-Young Company has
stripped this machine and thoroughly
overhauled it, but in doing so found
very little work to do and very few
parts to replace. There was nothing
seriously wrong with the machine,
and nothing broken, which is a rec
ord The Won Hamm-Young Company
is justly proud of. The road condi-
tions at times between Honolulu and
Waialua are very trying and after a
heavy three-days rain are practically
impossible in spots, and car be-
ing used in this service by a busy man
like Mr.. Goodale, to whom time is
a great factor, must necessarily be
able to stand a great deal.

Butch Hebron, who is touring
California in his Model X Stevens
Duryea touring car with his family
made a very complimentary remark
to a Honolulu man who has recently
gotten back from San Francisco
Butch" said 81 have been touring all
over California up through Lake Coun-
ty, Placer County and down South, and
| will tell you that you've got to go
some to beat a Stevens-Duryea. We
haven't had one single bit of trouble,
and only one puncture in all the time
that we have been on the road" This
certainly speaks well for the Stevens
Duryea car, being handled by man
who is practically an amateur at the
game. Mr. Heilbron is operating his
car himself and says that as long
as he drives a Stevens he does not
need the aid of a chauffeur even
though he is away off in the country,
a long way from repairshop.

The Won Hamm-Young Company is
considering very seriously changing
the construction of the front doors
of their big garage from wood to cast
iron owing to the great fascination
which the new tenders of some of the
recently-purchased cars seem to have
for these doors.
A very snappy article taken from
an Eastern publication reads, eve
have all read the old adage Some are
born great, some achieve greatness
while some have greatness thrust
upon them. This worthy saying could
not possibly be more applicable tc
anything in the world than to the
new Packard siX-cylinder car which
is now being manufactured by the
Packard Motor Car Company.
"As to being born great, there is
positively no car in the world which
has ever come as near to the point
of perfection on it's completion as
the new six" 1t has accomplished
more than all the other makes of cars
as to ease of riding, smoothness,
power and refinement, thus achiev,
ing greatness, and has had greatness
thrust upon it by creating such a
wonderful interest amongst people
who have always been strong for Ger
tain other makes of cars.
"One Of the great improvements on
the Packard for 1912 is the increased
wheel-base, which allows for a wider
entrance and door for the tonneau
Fhe Bosch ignition system on the six
cylinder car is one of the attractive
features; as it has been proven by
theory and practice that the Bosch
system is the only real satisfactory
Ignition system for ,six-cylinder au
tomobile engine. The short lapse OF
time between the firing points re.
quires an exceptionally rapid and
positive breaker, with which the Bosch
magnetic is equipped"
The Won Hamm-Young Company has
already accepted deposits on six 1912
Packard cars This is eurely starting
the season off with a regular football
rush, and from present outlooks the
business this year in the Packard
line is certainly going to be a record.
