tributing station, oiled, inspected, and
eight of them turned over 20 their re-
spcctivc owners in record time. These
cars all arrived in fine shape and
were delivered without one single adj
justmcnt, which is getting to be more
aud more proverbal as science adj
NanCcs. Three years ago nearly every
car which arrived In the Hawaiian
Islands required a great deal of adj
iusting and tuning up before it was
In shape to be turned over to its pur.
chaser but today hardly an alteration
has to be made even when the cars
arc bought and driven by amateurs.
This is certainly a sign of the times
AMI only demonstrates to very
marked degree the wonderful strides
which have been made in very short
tiwC. Automobiles in general have
improved wonderfully and 1t Is very
seldom that car Is abandoned on the
road any more Such vast improve
mrnts have been accomplished that
the Motor Car of today is very close
To perfection Road troubles have
urkccp and expense Of operation has
hCcn cut in two. These conditions
only 90 to show that the manufacture
crs nrvc been aiming az reliability
and IN 50 doing they are placing the
public in position whore any man
can AFFORD to own an automobile. For
merry il was only the Goulds and
Asturs who could drive fine machines,
but today the same class of machine
il within the reach of most anyone.
To-day people no longer figure an
automobile as luxury, but a ncces-
SHY, and the running expenses are
now so reasonable that streetCar fare
IL often figured ms more expensive in
the long run than automobile upkccp.

appreciated and of very much import
ancc to the Won Hamm-Young Com.

proposition, and when his journey wa
completed he declared that no Othe
