appreciation of the service obtained
from Wiestcott cars. One man in the

1.-The foundation of motor car Is its
frame" said Goodwin "As a ship de-
pends on its keel for stability and
permanence. just so a motor car de-
pends on it's frame.
''Westcott frames are made from
pressed steel plates of a thickness of
three -sixteenths of an inch, which is
much heavier than the frames used in
cars of similar weight. No heat is
used in forming the channel section,
which is done by means of hydraulic
pressure. The side members taper at
each end and from four inches wide
in the center to two inches wide at
the ends. In assembling the frame only
hot rivets are used. All holes are
drilled, not punched. The large dimen-
sions and high quality of material used
in Westcott frames assure strength and
stability. which are important factors

OF the new cars that have recently en-
tered the fertile California field, lew
have attracted more interest than the
Ames. The Ames Motor Sales company
Of 1440 Van Ness avenue, are the dis
tributers for this well known southern
car for the entire Pacific coast
Although new on the coast, the Ames
has firmly established itself in the
south. east and middle west during the
last three years that the car has been
manufactured. The Ames is built in
Owensboro. KY. and has become known
as the Kentucky thoroughbred" as il
has been a sure winner everywhere
The Ames plant has been building ex-
ce1lent wagons and buggies for 80
years, having the largest factory of its
kind south of the Ohio. They have
established a splendid reputation dur
ing this time throughout the south for
the sturdiness, beauty and reliability OF
their product 1t is a well known fact
that the southern roads are the worst
in the country and call for vehicles OF
excellent construction. The Ames au-
tomobiles have met this condition anc
have given general satisfaction. Three
years ago the Anes Motor Car company
entered the motor car field, as had
many of their contemporaries at that
time and built car that they can as
we'll be proud of as their well made
buggies and wagons. This motor car
has found a ready sale wherever the
excellence of the Amesbilt products was
known. to such an extent that the fac
tory oversold its production every sea :

greatly enlarged their plant and the
output has been doubled.
