Unique Control

We use in this car the only
centre control which is simple
and out of the way.
All the gear shifting is done
by moving small rod only
three inches in each of four direc-

There are no levers, side or
centre, SO the front is clear.
Both brakes are operated by foot
pedals.
And in this car you find the

came, bringing down sediment aud fer

StabiIlty in Motor COnstrnctIon.

The Rutenber motor has long been
known as the standard of four-cylin-
der and siX-cylinder automobile de-
sign, having been used by some of the
very earliest automobile manufacture
ers and from the beginning has been
most successful The companies that
have been able to secure this motor
ALI became very prominent and use
the name "Rutenber" in their litera-
ture, and are very proud to inform
their agents and dealers that 1t will
be Of their interest to interest the
customer in the merits of the Ruten-
ber motor. Its simplicity in design,
accessibility and ease of adjustment,
and its sturdy qualities have enabled
the manufacturers to continue prac-
tically the same design from year to
year with very few changes.
1t might be interesting to know that
the majority of motors today are in
one way or another very similar in
detail in great many respects to
the original Rutenber motor.
1t Is most important that a pur-
chaser of either a pleasure or a COM
mercial car should be most careful
in his selection of motor This is
the one vital part of the car that must
be absolutely right if he wishes his
car TO be satisfactory.
The state agent, W. S. Fits, will go
into detail and describe the various
models that the Auburn company
builds, all Of which contain the very
best materials, selected after the most
critical tests and undergoing the most
careful workmanship, We believe
you will agree with us that the Ru-
tenber motor should be regarded as
the best in gasoline motor construc-
tion, and that it implies quality and
stability, simplicity, economy, distinc-
tlveness, the highest qualifications to
be desired in a motor.

about better roads on to Toledo and

most exhausted; it was thought best
to hike" ahead for more fuel. On
their return the boys found that the
test car, the heavier Of the two, had
settled and the mud had frozen about
the wheels and the car could not be
budged. Ponderlng over this situa-
.tion, the only feasible way of freeing
the car was by building fires under
the axles and around the wheels.
This was done and after an hour
or more the truck was loosened and
plugged on its way. The testers
were almost exhausted but with a
strong determination to push ahead
they were able to keep up and run
their machine into Toledo.

the green driver, enjoying his first
experience in plotting a car through
a crowded business street, would
have little chance of keeping his ma

are his salvation. Without them he
would be blundering through, per-
haps at excessive speed, and, getting
into pocket would lose his head and
probably the lamps off his car. With
the rules he is kept in check and
saved from himself
