LACK OF MOISTURE
CLAIMED BY FARMERS

Farmers on the East Fork claim
that it has been years since the
ground was so utterly void of mois-
ture as it is this spring. Many are
resorting to irrigating before plow-
ing and some that have already
plowed are irrigating before har-
rowing and seeding. This condition
is the result of the heavy winds last
winter that blew the snow from
the fields sand also a lack of the
usual March rains. However, from
all account received regarding the
snowfall in the mountains, it ap-
pears that the snow is drifted and
we'll packed in the canyons and no
apprehension is felt relative to the
water supply for this summer.

The Jackson Automobile Company
deserves to be numbered among the
oldest and most stable in the indus
try, for it was orga lized and pro-
duced its first car in the fall of 1902.
From that date to this, the career
of the Jackson company has been
marked by a degree of success that
places it in the first rank of Ameri-
can motor car builders.
Its claim has always been to pro-
duce cars of high quality and ex-
treme serviceability. That its claim
has been fulfilled is evidenced by the
popularity of Jackson ears, by the
years of their service in owners
hands and by the cars consistent
performances in road and contests
for endurance and speed.
Back in 1902 the gasoline engine,
as applied to automobiles, was far
from being the dependable, steady
going mechanism that it is today {.
Steam was the motive power used
in almost every instance; because
things could be done with a steam
engine-it could be made to run and
almost everybody understood it. So
the first jackson was a steam car of
the runabout type.
Besides the present day product
ions, this old Jackson would make a
sorry showing. But it served the
important purpose of revealing to
its builders many things about the
manufacture of automobiles.
The Jackson company then took a
hand in developing the gasoline en-
gine in relation to automobiles; and
during the winter of 1903 placed on
the market a a single cylinder gaso-
line runabout. The surprise to
staid old residents of jackson was
that the motor really ran and the
car was able to travel about the
streets. In spite of the fact that a
gasoline automobile was a decided
innovation at that time, great
many of these cars were sold and
gave good satisfaction.
By the next year the company had
advanced to the touring car stage;
and in one respect took the lead over
its contemporaries by providing
side doors for tonneau entrance.
Everybody remembers the old rear
entrance tonneau which was quite
the thing in those days. The rear
door sometimes was provided with a
seat that could be lowered after the
door had been closed and securely
locked, thus making room for a
third passenger in the tonneau.
The Jackson broke away from this
type and spent considerable money
advertising its side-entrance tonneau
and the fact that steering was by
means of wheel instead of the tiler
which had been customary up to
that time. The car also had a wheel
base of "a inches and that was an
extremely long wheelbase, supposed
to give the car easy riding qualities.
About a year ago the company re-
ceived request from a jackson
owner for crankshaft to replace
one in which he had discovered a
flaw" On looking up the number
of the car to which the crankshaft
belonged, it was found to be one of
these 1904 touring models. 1t had
been in constant service for seven
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1913-04-04

years; and there is no telling how
long the, original crankshaft might
have continued to do its work, had
not the owner discovered the "flaw.
And this is not the only one of
those 1904 models that is still on the
road, giving their owners satisfac-
tory service, for the Jackson COM
| pany knows of several.
1t is noteworthy that the company
carries in stock complete supply of
repair parts for every model back to
those built in 1904; and the OCCASION
al calls for extra parts show that the
old models ace still at work in vari-
Gus parts of the country.
In 1905 the name of the jackson
company first appeared as contest
ant for motor car honors. That year
the Model c was produced two
cylinder touring car of 20 h. p. that
sold for $3.50. 1t was entered in an
endurance run from Chicago to St.
Paul, MINI.
Thirteen cars started. Two finish
ed one the Jackson, driven by f.
L. Scheiffier; and the other Pierce
Arrow driven by Teddy Dey. Heavy
rain fell from the time the contest
ants left Chicago until the lone two
finished at st. Paul. Scheiffler. bv
the way, is still in the employ of the
jackson company as head tester at
the factory.
The day following the finish of the
run from Chicago, motor ear
speed race was held in st. Paul. open
to all comers. This the Jackson
won; and the trophy cup it brought
home is today one of the most highly
priced possessions of the jackson
I company.
Further manufacturing progress
was made in 1906, which marked tn
launching of the company into the
four-cylinder field, and the increase
IN this line from one to three models
two of the two-cylinder type and
one four-cylinker of 40 horsepower.
These models were continued the
following two years; and it was dur
ing 1907 that Bob Burman made his
first appearance at the wheel of a
jackson stock chassis in speed races.
In 1909 and 1910 the jackson out
put was greatly increased, with new
models. Factory additions were
made in 1910 and again in 1911, I'M
til now the floor space occupied in
the production of Jackson cars total
| | acres; and close to 1000 men are
now employed.

THE III ISL. Story Of 2 OF IHE JACKSON Gar
YEARS. SINCE THE COMPANY WAS ORCANIi

For 1913 the capacity of the plant
has again been increased and the
company is turning out 5000 cars
The company has never specialized
on low priced cars, and this years
product is high class in every par.
ticular. Special attention has beer
given to the details of finish which
distinguish the high grade car from
its medium priced contemporary;
and special attention has been paid
to producing ease of riding.
The 1913 Jacksons will ride as
comfortably over rough roads as the
highest priced and most luxurious
cars. Wheel and tire sizes are
large on all models, and the wheel
bases longer than usual. Each ot
the new models is generously sup
piled with power. Unit power
plants, with long stroke, enclosed
valve motors, are characteristic OF
of the entire line; and the body sus-

Control of the Jackson company

exclusively in the hands of G. A.
Matthews and his sons. Mr.. Mat.
thews has been the moving spirit in
the company from the very outset.
He was largely responsible for its
organization and he has directed its
policies from the very beginning.
Mr.. Matthews saw the possibilities
that lay in the development of the
automobile and was tireless in his
efforts to aid that development to
the full extent of his ability. Later
when the business of the Jackson
company began to grow, new fac

1t has been said that particular
attention is paid to the finish of the
Jackson cars. To begin with the
bodies are built in the Jackson plant;
built of wood by men who gained
their first experience in the building
of fine carrige bodies. The Jackson
company prefers wood to metal be-
cause it believes that wood permits
more perfect painting job and
that the finish is more durable than
on metal.
The building of a Jackson body re-
quires five or six days; and the
painting of it several weeks-for ne
less than nineteen coats of paint are
applied and rubbed down, until the
last is as fine and smooth as the
finish of a costly piano.
Just before the last coat is put on,
the seats and the seat back are up
holstered, also in the Jackson plant.
This is another bit of work that re-
quires expert and skilful workman
ship; and another line for which the
company has drawn good men from
the buggy business. The Jackson's
reputation for smooth-running
durable mechanism is not more solid
ly founded than the fame of its up
holstering and body finish.
The first race in which the Jack
son entered was in ST. Louis in 1907
"a 24-hour contest on a dilt track!
Burman and Scheiffier, the latter
the driver who participated in the
Chicago-St. Paul run in 1905, piloted
the car to victory over many cars of
double the Jackson price. This was
soon followed by another success at
Brighton Beach, and during the
first year of its racing the Jackson
brought home many cups and
trophies.
In 1909 the company entered the
3O0-mile race for the Wheeler &
Schebler trophy on the day of the
opening of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway. At the end of 235 miles
the Jackson had a safe lead over all
competitors, with only 65 miles to
complete, in driving order and with
tanks full. The track then wrs not
brick paved, and this race and the
preceding contests of the day had
cut it up so badly that the officials
called the race because of the dang
er to the drivers. But the jackson S
name was the first to be engraven on
the big silver cup.
Later in 1907 the Jackson stock
chassis again raced for the Wheeler
& Schebler prize. Out of some 25
contestants it finished second, being
defeated only by Ray Harroun and
his special racing machine.
In the 500-mile International
Sweepstakes of 1911 at Indianapolis,
the Jackson finished 10th in a field
of 40 cars, defeating every car of its
own size and also sixteen that had
greater piston displacement.
Such has been the history of the
jackson company-a career marked
by success commercially and in con-
tests. 1t is record that prom ises
many good things for the coming
season, when the cars enter the field
of the best produced in America.

Carolina & Yadkln River Railroad To- Give
Furniture Town Its First Competing Line.

High Point. July 26 -Septem'
her 1st is the time SGT for the
final completion of the Carolina
| & Yadkin River Railroad, COM
monty known as the Coler road
on account of the fact that the
chief promoter of it is the W. N.
Coler Company of New York
When the road is ready for regu-
lar business. there will be big
celebration in High Point and
this will probably take place the
last week in August.
The Importance of the new
road can hardly be ovsrestimated. /.
The road from Thomasville to
Denton, which was built by the
late Milton Jones, wss sold June
1st, 1912. to the Coler Company,
and the name changed to what it
is now. The length of the road
was then 81 miles and it opened
for development splendid
country, at the end of which was
the enterprising and growing town
of Denton. The new company
promptly began the extension
from. Denton 30 High Rock, at
which place connection is made
with the Southhound and in
directly With the Norfolk & Wes.
tern and Seaboard systems. The
extension from 4Thomaaviile to
High Point was then begun and
is just now beng completed.
This gives High Point for the
frat tims a competing railway
line and the good effects are ex-
pected to be great. Besides this,
it opens q rich section of timber
and producing lands. The equip.
ment ls being improved and will
be made in every way frst-class.
People interested in this new
development in q section VIII ich
needed railroad facilities but
where there were not On the sur
face sutfi cient resources to justify
the expense, are citing the facts
that local enterprise started the
development and then outside
capital took hold and extended it
TO its present high prospects, and
all without asking or begging any
special aid of the State of North
Carolina or of the people along
the route.
