Everyone can use the Brush
It's low enough in price to be within the reach of everyone
It's adaptable enough to be of use to anyone
That's why it's Everyman's Car

Its primary strength is its simplicity easy to handle-free
from mechanical difficulty.
Its secondary strength is its dependabHity- proved in the
hands of users by remarkable service in scores of businesses.
And finally, its low cost of operation and maintenance,
together with low initial cost, make it possible for anyone to
own it. Hundreds use it because it's cheaper than a horse
and buggy.

ECONOMY-there isn't any car in the world

That's easily demonstrated. The Rural Free
Delivery service pays small salaries to carriers
and horses eat a good share Of the pay.
But the r. r. ID. finds the Brush viii beat the
horse hollow when it comes to a low cost. Here's
one example-and there are plenty others:
Fred Ingersol, "a rural free delivery man W Pasadena,

little?
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-03

THE Brush Runabout is the embodiment of an original
idea-no other car just like it.
It's not a miniature big car, with big car completely. without
big car stability.
It's designed especially to serve a certain end-to provide
an adaptable. dependable, economical car that anyone can
drive, everyone can use and no one. who depends on quick.
economical transportation can afford to be without.

RACE FOR End
IN NATIONAL

While there are still some of the Ma
tionaI, League managers and owners
who believe that their teams are go
ing to pass the Giants in the race for
the championship pennant of 1912, the
general followers of the sport are con-
ceeding the right to represent that
league in the worlds championship
series next October is already assur-
ed to the Giants Their present lead
is certainly very impressive and the
only team that has so far been able
to give them serious argument is
Pittsburg.
The race for second position is just
now the most interesting feature of
the series. Pittsburg and Chicago are
having a great battle for the honors
and neither one seems to be able to
get very substantial lead over the
other The teams are fairly well
matched although Pittsburg looks, at
long range, to be rather stronger, es-
pecially in the batting department of
the game, and most of the followers
of the older league expect to see Man
ager Clarke's men finishing the sea-
son in second place.

colors Of Oahu in the coming inter
island polo championships are pau
practice. and will not take the saddle
.agaflf ai1tIf Trey tfasf with Maui next
Saturday afternoon, in the opening
game of the series. Although the
game rs four days away, Captain
Walter Dillingham; feels that the rest
will do both the men and the ponies a
world of good, and that they will go
into the match in better shape to put
up hard fight if they lay off for the
last few days. The ponies will, OF
course, get the right amount of exer-
else, but there will be no chances of
losing the best of the string through
last-minute i'll luck. such as cutting
down a mount in practice.
The Maui team will be on hand to-
morrow, and as the Valley Isle play
ers must be given chance to stretch
their legs over their mounts before
they start match play, a game is
tentatively arranged for tomorrow
afternoon against the Oahu seconds.
This should afford an interesting com
parison between the play of the in
yaders and the Oahu firsts, for polo
followers are familiar enough with
the general form of the home team
to be able to size up opposition
against the Reds.

Sunday, one of them the champions
of the Plantation League, the Liberty

The Luzons, the Filipino team that
has swept everything before it, in
playing other teams in the Plantation
League, were the first to go down to
defeat Sunday, the score at the con-
clusion reading Libertys 16. Luzons 2.
Following this game another was
played with the c.. Y team, collec-

Jared somewhat better than the Fiji
pinos but were nevertheless defeated

How much the mental side enters
