Long Life of Cars

Three of First-Built Oaklands Still

Three of the first cars built by the
Oakland Motor Company are still
doing daily service on the streets OF
Pontiac, Mich. one OF the cars is
unique in that it has Travelled in five
years a distance equal to four times
the circumference Of the earth.
This ear was bought in 1908 by r,
FL. Purse Of Pontiac. and has been
in constant use since. The speedom-
eter has nine times registered 1899
giving the car a total mileage OF 95,-
900 for the four years OF It's life.
Purse also owns one OF the other
cars a two-cylinder model, and the
first Oakland built. This car does
rescue work for a garage, and re-
Gently hauled another car from Pom

The third car is owned by Worn
Reason, OF Sylvan Lake. IT is also q
two cylinder model, and was built in
1908 Not single part OF this car
has ever been replaced since II was
built It is used with interchangeable
bodies both as truck and touring car.

to run it. Formerly he couldn't gel
far enough out to run a big place
and didn't need so many horses anG
mules. Also the farther out from the

he uses.
There is no doubt but that the

Burns and Houser

II. NJ. Burns and o. e. Houser
operating under the firm name Of
Burns & Houser automobiles, No. PAP
Peachtree street, have secured the
agency for the Oldsmobile ain Atlanta
and surrounding territory.
The acquisition Of this unusual car
places this new agency in the fore
front of the automobile dealers Of
the city. They now handle both Re
gals and Oldsmobiles and the re-
markable popularity of both of these
cars bids fair to establish them among
the busiest agencies of the South.
Both Of these men, while still
young and active, have grown old in
the automobile industry and Atlanta
probably has no two young men more
capable of getting the fullest meas
ure of success out Of two such good
selling cars.

Southern representative of the Odds

IN spite of the rapid strides Of the
automobile the good old horse
will prevail-and the mule, too

among city people that the horse
would be forgotten, but an anomalous
situation has been the result-the
horse Is not only doing business at
the same old stand but there is more

There is a parallel in the perfection
of the linotype machine. This con-
trivance was expected to throw thou

Every little while an automobile

Motor Car Helps
To Enhance Land
This Is Opinion Of Harry r. Radford,
Of Cartercar Co.-Some
Reasons Given.

That the motor car has seen q great
factor in booming real estate activities
all over the country is the opinion of
Harry r. Radford, vice president and
general manager of the Cartercar Com
pany, Pontiac, Mich This is an en-
tirely new angle from which to con-
slider the motor car industry. but Mr.
Radford gives some excellent facts to
back up his statement

country" said Mr.. Radford, land you
will SEQ numerous subdivisions being
opened up continually which would not
be salable at all II il were not for the
fact that the owners Of the properly
can use motor cars for going back and
forth to the shopping and business dis
tricts.
I'm this way the motor car has in
creased the value Of millions OF dol
lars worth Of property, and has put new
life into the real estate business. or
course, this applies especially to those
subdivisions which are not close TO
street car and interurban lines
The real estate man can now open
up subdivision almost anywhere that
the layout Of tho land is suitable, re
gardlegs Of any other TRANSPORTATION
advantages. And what Is more, there is
absolutely no doubt Of the iat that
tNe motor car mas caused q renewed
interest in farm lands, and has helped
in a great measure 10 Increase the value
of farm lands.
Many farmers who would have been
glad 10 sell few years ago, are now
happy with their living conditions and
could not be induced TO seek another
vocation.
The real estate man owes nor a III.

should be he will push his endeavors
even further. because the full value OF

opening night ausplclouS and one

Brilliant lights and hundreds
Of them. the handsomest decora-
lions yet attempted in this part
Of the country, beautiful line of

and a generous number of Allan

long TO be remembered.
King Automobile Supreme.
Charles Sheldon, well-known or
ganisJ. rendered d number of beau
t.ful selections. He will play again
Monday afternoon and night. Sousa's

Truly, King Automobile never
sppeared TO better advantage than he
did in this, the fourth attempt of
lie automobile and accessory men of
Atlanta to display the best and latest
there is IN things that travel on
wheels and by their own motive
power There was furnished one VI
the most striking studies in contrast,
il the evolution that the mamma lie
vehicle has passed through since the
time when King Solomon pulled his
glow moving oXcart out of the mud.
True, the early vehicle was not there
as q living example Of what used TO
be. But it was there in the imagina-
ton Of all who looked on the spec
tacIe Of vehicles de luxe, with every
luxury except sleeping pOrches and
bathrooms.
Many sou--Stirring scenes beggar
description, and never get it ade-
elaCe.g. So with the scene in which
President Woodrow Wilson was
cheered an hour or more after his
nomination at Baltimore. So with
the scene IN which the steamship
T.tandc went down with heE hun
dTeds Of hero souls. So with the
L demonstrations given the polar eX-
p.orerS-genuine and sham-who re-
turned with their stories of having
discovered the North Pole. So like
wise with the Great Southern Auto
mobile Show, which it Is beyond the
power of a Shakespeare with his
10000 words to describe.
Simple Description Necessary.
Automobile men are writing in
these leisurely Sunday hours to their
aCtories trying to describe what was
presented on the first night. 1t is Il
Digger task than selling a car to

s-fp.or that shall be at once just
