shows and factories, Is enthusiastic on
the outlook for this class of car,
The very latest product OF electric car
builders is the all-facing forward coupe.

This has been great problem, as II WAS
not desirable to enlarge the car and the
occupants could not be crowded. The
Baker people have accomplished IL nicely
by use of revolving chair front seats and

There is n tendency to retain the popu-

extreme, as heretofore. The addition OF
the full limousine back makes most
beautiful body line effect viewed from

OF the automobile business. He has Sc

GOOD REASONS FOR
SUCCESS OF BUICK

The great and continued success OF
the Buick motor cars, which are han
died and distributed by the Randall
Dodd Auto company, limited. in Sal'
Lake City and Boise. Idaho. for the In
termountain country. is due TO many rea-
sons which cannot help but be taken Into
consideration and appreciated by pros
pective automobile buyers, These rea-
sons are follows;
The speed and power developed by the
Buick overhead valve motor, which Is
guaranteed to have more power and
speed than any other type OF mo1SG tor
built. This motor claims from 10 to 20
per cent more power than any other
type and is recognized by engineers as
being the most powerful motor Tor its
size on the market
The low cost of upleep OF the Buick
ears is amazing. as evidenced by figures
from owners, Figures show that the en-
ing on all OF the cars that have been
built. averages less than 81 per month
per ear.
The reliability and durability of the
expression Is frequently heard that the
Buick cars will get you there and back
again.. Is but reflex Of the fact that
the Reliability OF the car Is generally
ems OF cases where a car has shown Won
derful reliability under extraordinary
conditions. As fer the durability of the
Buick car. the Buick factory has re-
peatedly challenged any one to pro-
duce a Buick ear chat is worn out. and
they have publicly challenged and con-
tinue to do so any competitors to pro-
duce as many cars that have run either
%, 900, $4,000, 50.0O0 a.. 900 or 100000 or
100 900 miles.
The construction OF the Buick car is
the best on The market Every moving
part in the ear is ground and fitted TO
4 hairs breadth, or 1900 of an inch
These arc a few of the reasons for
the Immense success os the Buick cars,
and these, together with service rem
dered by the Buick dealers, which Are
located in every town in any size In the
United States. give the prospective car
owners guarantee that they have a
'eood car from big factory" and that
they can rest assured they will be given
service when travelling or touring over
the continent.

CASE HANDLED BY
FACTORY BRANCHES

The time is coming, according to Ralph
Steuard. branch house manager OF the
]. l. Case I. NJ. company, that there will
be fewer makes OF automobiles on the
market and more of them will be mar
keted through factory branches instead
Of through local agents. Purchasers arc
insisting on buying from stable and re-
liable concerns. More and more are
prospective purchasers satisfying them
selves that the manufacturer of the car
they buy Is Il solvent and going concern
and that 1t will always be represented
locally, so that they can set repairs and
be assured OF service as long as they
own their cars.
He claims that the growing popu-
larily OF Case cars Is partly accounted
for by the fact that the name Case is SO
well and favorably known. Every own
err he says, OF Case machinery (end

business with them continuously for

Stomach trouble, lazy liver and de-

Lucky Stockings.
London Tt-BitS.

London Tt-Bits.
Stockings figure in some curious su-
perstitions touching old customs, es-
pecially those connected with marriage
Every one knows that there are ac-
'tions both lucky and unlucky. Among
the former it IS commonly held that to
put on any article Of clothing wrong
side out is decidedly sign OF good
luck, but it must be done accidentally
and when the mistake is found out no
change must be made, else the luck
will Immediately vanish. This idea is
very firmly held about stockings, prob
ably because it is more easy t. make
such mistake in putting on a STOCK
ing than in donning other garments. 1t
would be hard, indeed, for woman to
put on her dress OF man his coat or
vest inside out without noticing what
he was doing.
Another superstition touching the use
of hose is connected with dreaming.
This is a Scotch notion. If a person be
about to sleep in bed that he or she
has never slept in before, the certainty
OF dreaming can be assured by placing
the stocking taken off the right foot
under the head. Not only will the
sleeper be sure to dream, but the
dream, will certainly come to pass.
Of the superstition attached to mar
riage ceremonies most people have
heard of throwing the stocking" This
rite would hardly be regarded now as
consistent with modern notions of de-
corum, but it was highly popular in
former days. The ceremony was per-
formed at the conclusion of the we'd
ding days festivities by young men
and girls seated at the bed foot-the
former having the brides and the lat
ter the bridegroomis stockings-Whose
object in throwing the hose backward
over their heads was to hit, if possible
the head, and especially the nose of
one or other of the newly married
couple. A successful shot meant mar
riage at an early date for the throw
er.
Another old custom which the super
stitious sometimes remember when
they get married is to wear one old
stocking and one new one, following
the thought perhaps that every bride
should wear something old, something
new" To this day many brides adhere
to this old habit or superstition, but
they do not confine the apparel to
stockings.
