Now just a word as TO the Packard !
clutch which engages positively but
with absolute smoothness. Il took the |
Packard engineers three years of con |
slant experimenting to develop our
present disc type with the clutch |
out and the motor running, try the |
experiment of letting your heel slip |
off the pedal. ! defy anyone to try
THAT stunt with any other type of
clutch without putting the passengers

Some persons believe that five
thousand dollars is too much to pay for |
motor car. 1t isn't too much when |
you are getting all that you pay for
in known and tested value. 1t isn't |
too much when all cars are sold at the
published price and when every pur-
chaser is treated exactly alike. We
b a Il,
have made the price of our goods as
low as it can be made and permit us |
to stay in business. With our Packard |
organization and a factory covering |
thirtyseven acres of floor space, we
are in a position to build cars right |
and we do build them just as well as
We know how. AS far as quality of |
material and workmanship are con-
cerned, we build cars that are Just
as good as an automobile can be made. |
That tells how we have turned out |
the greatest piece of machinery that
ever went upon the highways. That !
is why we were enabled to run our
shops all winter with q normal force
of over five thousand men. That is
why our cars have the highest second
hand value of any car built or sold
in the United States"
Another car which has been talked
about a great deal during the past
week is the 1912 Buick, a carload of
which has just been received by the
Won Hamm Young Company
One of these fine cars, a beautiful
Roadster, has been delivered to Mr.. |
A. n. Simpson, of Waianae. 1t is a
Model %, developing 80 h. p. and .
equipped with twenty gallon gasoline
tank at the rear of the drivers seat,
which would enable the car to go
around the island twice without re-
plenishing it's gasoline. The body of
the car is finished in rich wine color,
the wood work and tenders being
painted black, which gives a very pref
ty contrast
Another Buick was delivered by the
Won Hamm Young Company this week

with its beautiful design of straight
line fore door body, it is pronounced
to be one of the handsomest and most
effective cars of the moderate priced
line.
The Cadillac is keeping to the fore
as much as usual The only difficulty
is that owing to the tremendous de-
mand the factory is not in a position
to deliver cars as quickly as they are
sold by the various agents. Fortunate
ly the severe winter weather is favor
ing the Pacific coast and the Hawaiian |
Islands, and at last the Won Hamm
Young Company will be able to get /
somewhere near the number of cars |
which they require.
Of the shipment OF six Cadillacs |
which came in last week, only one of
them has not been delivered, the rea !
son being that the purchaser, Mr.. A.
w. T. Bottomley is at present in Paris,
on his trip around the world, yet, anti
cipating his return in the early part
of May he has cabled from Paris to
the Won Hamm Young Company to
keep this car for him, so as to be
sure to have his Cadillac car when he
returns
Four carloads of Cadillacs are now
on the way to the Won Hamm Young |
Company from Detroit, two of which |
are due to arrive here on the Honolu-
Ian on March Goth.
1t is no wonder that the 1912 Cadil- |
locs have proven even a greater favor
lite than the previous models, as the
owner of one of the 1912 Cadillacs
remarked the other day, ct is the
most completely equipped car-what
more do you want for $2l75.0O, than
a perfect running car which does not
