LONG IN SERVICE, BUT GOOD
Builder of Matheson Finds Vet.
eran Car of His Own Make.

There is 70 question that the rough
mining section OF the West is one Of the
severest tests to which an automobile can
be put, for TO use a car consistently In
this kind Of country is pretty much like a
continuous reliability run, with series Of
hill climbin. contests thrown in.
When a car will stand up for five years
and seventy-nve thousand miles over such
roads c. w. Matheson thinks II is worth
talking about This Is Mr.. Matheson's own
story from the wilds OF Utah about such a
machine:
He was recently strolling down a street
Of Utah city when he recognized an old
1907 Matheson standing alongside OF the
curb. AS he stood looking the car over the
owner came along. He proved to be Tony
Jacobson, OF Salt Lake City. president Of
the Alta Consolidated Mining Company and
an enthusiastic motorist.
The Western country has brought out
many stories about the remarkable affec-
ton Of a man for the horse that has been
his companion as we'll as his servant. Some
such attachment as this seems to have
grown up between Jacobson and his auto
mobile, for he takes unusual pride in its
record.
In fact, he repeated again and again that
his car is just as good to-day as Ii was
the day he bought IL and that he would
not part with II in spite Of its five years Of
service for its original cost He says he has
seen almost every other make of car In
that country and none can compare with
his In following the trail through the noun

PRAISES HIS OVERLAND CAR
Englishman Says 1t Is Superior
to More Expensive Machines.

American automobiles are rapidly gaining
ground in foreign lands, due to their general
all-rOund ability and reasonable price. The
European motorlst on the whole, IS keener
on values than our American cousin, ana
the way he looks ar the American product
Is reflected in the wonderful increase in
expectations each year. In 1910 the total
number OF cars exported was $40. The
figures grew 10 1880 in 1911, and there Is
every indication Of doubling these during
this year.
The latest testimonial or the American
car has come 10 II. h. Shontz, sales man.
ager for the c. T. Silver Motor Company,
Eastern distributor. Mr.. Shontz sold car
last fall TO +. =. Corkett, who was
on visit here from London. The latter
used II here about q month and then
had ii shipped to England. He writes Mr..
ShontZ that the car is creating a strong
name for itself in England. His letter fol-
lows in part:
"a friend Of mine here bought a car cost
ing three times az much. but he likes my
rar far better than his own. He has only
1G horsepower to compare 10 my 90. His
car is more substantial IN its ftments.

ut further provides that upon approach

vehicle shall slow down and give timely

ANY person found guilty OF a violation

USED CARS ARE IN DEMAND
Some of the Machines Offered
Have DepreCiated Little.

That the local market for used motor
cars is better now than ever before IS the
opinion of h. c. Darling, head OF tho used
car department Of the American Locomo-
tive Company.
This field IL opening up because the
attitude of the buying public has changed
within a year." says Mr.. Daring ne
idea formerly held was that used auto
mobile was about ready for the discard
We know there are many used cars on
the market to-day that have been run
only q small part Of the mileage they
have in them.
Few people are in q position 10 pur-
chase an automobile each season. TO
these the opportunity is presented 10 get
cars that have scarcely begun to deprecl-
ate in real value and which can be soid at
a comparatively small part OF their orig
inal cost 49,,
used cars are backed by the service that
goes with the new product and before be-
ing sold are thoroughly overhauled and
tested out.
1T is known that the average lie OF an
automobile IS 100, 900 miles. Few cars have
been known to get more than 10000 miles OF
service In a year. So II can be figured our
how, as a matter of economy, an automo-
bile from last season or the season before
sold at from 10 TO 20 per cent Of its original
cost Is a wise investment.
Let me give concrete example. A few
days ago a man preparing FOR two years
trip abroad sold his car. driven less than
5000 miles. and placed an order fer 1914
model. II he had remained here he would
have retained this same car. That simply
shows how cars get into the used market
and what good purchases they are

Its Enforcement by Uniformed
Motorcycle Men, They
Believe, Would Reduce
Number Of Accidents.

The adoption OF the Callan law and Its
strict enforcement by uniformed motorcycle
policemen form the solution OF the local
speed problem In the opinion Of Charles a.
Stewart. general manager OF he Automobile
Dealersi Association.
The magistrates Of the city have decided
that the old ordinance is effective" Mr..
Stewart says. This provides for speed OF
eight miles an hour in congested districts
and fifteen miles an hour where the houses
are more than 100 feet apart. This ordi-
nance Is broken by every automobile that
runs upon the streets. The automobile
dealers believe that If the Calan law was
adopted and strictly enforced 1t would be
a means OF reducing the number OF acct
dents.

forcement OF he automobile laws under

1t is a combination of everything that
has proven practical in the motor car

is the famous Overland center control.
We adopted this several years ago. In
fact, we practically started center control
in this country. By degrees the others
fell in line. They had to. One we'll
