THE CADILLAC
REPEATS

That the Cadillac. although 10 years
old, is capable of standing up and hold
ing its own Is evidenced by an an
nouncement of the Drennen Motor Car
company as to the performance of a
Cadillac in England. The story fol-
lows:
Ten years ago a 10 horsepower Cad
lilac. then a new stunning prepresen.
tative of the latest in automobile de-
velopment, won the Royal Automobile
club of Great Britain 1000-rnile relia-
btlity run. The car emerged from the
trial with a remarkable record. making
1919 marks out of possible 5000.
Recently over the roads of south
ern England, under the auspices of the
r. A. c.. the same little Cadillac two
seated machine has been making a re :
markable showing by participating in
the anniversary run of this famous trial
and coming through with flying colors
What makes this performance even
more remarkable is the fact that this
little old car has been on the road con-
tinually since the trial of 1903, travel
ing many thousands of miles"

THE PRESS COMMENDED
BY GOODYEAR

That newspaper advertising is one
of the greatest agencies for promoting
business is the belief of G. M Stadel-
man of the Goodyear company, who
asked the local officials to give out
this statement from him yesterdays:
I'VE are firm believers In newspaper
advertising.
I'VE have abundant proof of the pow
er of the press" says Mr.. Stadelman.
Here Is an instance:
About a year ago we decided to
establish a department for the manu-
facture of mechanical rubber goods,
such as garden hose. betting, air brake
hose. packing, rubber thing and a va
riety of other articles used the year
round in stable business. Up to that
time we had been exclusively tire max
ers.
For years we had been consistently
advertising Goodyear tires, and large
part of our annual advertising appro-
priations had gone to the newspapers,
which had helped us build up our repu-
tation for quality and stability and had
taken our trademark into all the prin-
cipal communities of the country. Our
newspaper advertising campaign helped
materially In creating such a market
for our product that Goodyear tires now
enjoy O greater sale than any other.
NJ borrower, Goody- n advertising has had
another effect. which had taught the
public to believe that whatever bore
the Goodyear trademark was depend
able.
Our first years sales in mechanical
goods have greatly exceeded our estj-
mates and the new depaI tment Is firm
ly established. We attribute this to
the fact that our tire advertising had
already so firmly established Goodyear
prestige and quality that the public
was ready to accept whatever bore the
Goodyear trademark as being neces-
sarily a good article. Our mechanical
goods have thus far had practically no
advertising at all.
so. we believe. our newspaper CAM
paigns helped TO make Goodyear the
leader In tires and at the same time
established the reputation of Goodyear
goods so firmly that the public has con-
fidepce In the whole Goodyear line"

BANDITS HOLD UP "ALTON
HUMMER" NEAR SPRINGFIELD
Engineer Is Forced to Cut Off EW
press Car But Robbers Fall
to Crack Safe.

Springfield, Ill, Dec. 26.-The "Al.
ton Hummer" the Chicago & Alton
night train from Chicago to Kansas
City, due here at 1920 o'clock, was
held up shortly after midnight Tues
day near lies station, four miles north
of here.
The hoId-up men detached the en-
CINE and the express car, loaded with
Christmas presents from the rest of
the train and forced the engineer and
fireman at the point of guns to go
ahead with the engine and express
car. The flagman succeeded in get
ting away and went to the tower
house at lies Junction, where he tele-
graphed. the Springfield police of the
occurrence.
The sheriff and posse soon reached
the express car and found the express
men unframed and the safe intact.
The bandits made an unsuccessful at
tempt to open the safe and then OBJ
tanned a number of valuable packages
and fed. The value of the packages
taken is not known, but it is thought
the loot is small. The posse took up
the trail of the bandits without delay.
The bandits are supposed to have
boarded the train at lies, which is a
junction point with the Wabash. The
place where the train was stopped Is
sparsely settled and in deep cut
surrounded by mines.
The fagman who gave the alarm
said the train stopped suddenly after
two shots were fired, at a point
mile and half west of lies.
