very cheap cars-the Hudson being
the highest-priced automobile that

The purchase was made through Mr..
GOllbran'S brother, II. E. Collbran of

upon the Hudson. The car is to be

CLASSY CARS AND DEPENDABLE

Three more of the always popular
CadillaCS were received by the voH
lIamT-G Dung Co. this week on the
steamer Lurline. Two Of these were
pkaetons and the third touring car.
These cars, of course, are right up 70

The Won Hamm- Young Company ais }
received on the Lurline two 1872

and model 81 touring car finished i.l

new model of 40 h. p. complete in
every detail, including electric starter
and electric dynamo lighting system,
which car, complete with equipment,

The Pope Manufacturing Co. has
been building high class automobiles
for many years past. They have al
ways maintained the highest quality

ford cars are among the most popular
American cars built al tne price.
"a The Model 81, the new Pope-Hart-
ford car, is of a convenient size and
comfortable proportions, powerful
enough to meet every demand of
strenuous service. 1t differs in size
and power from the other Pope mod
els, but has the same quality of ma
terial and workmanship which has
made such an enSiable reputation for
the Pope cars.
This Model 81 must really be seen to
be appreciated. 1t ranks with the most
extensively built cars on the market.
