The old-type engine begins to de.
preciate from the day it goes into use.
1t becomes more and more noisy,
less and less efficient. When carbon
accumulates much of the power is
wasted.
The Stearns-Knight engine becomes
better with use. 1t becomes more and
more powerful. It's smoothness in
CreaseS. Its silence is absolute always.
This has been proved by Knight
type engines which have covered mill
ions of miles in the aggregate.
The Stearns-Knight is regarded as
the best of the Knight-types.
Mr.. Knight himself purchased one
Of these cars. He has taken it to Eu-
rope to show makers there the perfec-
tions wrought out in the Stearns shops.

The greatest motor car makers have

Just because they know that this

LETTER WRITTEN BY PLUMB
TELLS OF PIONEER STRUGGLE

In tearing down an old house yesterday
on the farm OF George H. Osborn In
Hazel Dell township. eight miles north OF
Council Bluffs, perfectly preserved let
