KnOx-Martin Used
To Haul Asphalt

These are not three locomotives
pushing a Knox Martin tractor says
Samuel NJ Grim, the head of the Reli-
ance Automobile company. agents for
the Knox Martin tractor. in explain
ing a photograph which he is showing
around, but three heavy asphalt
tank wagons with tar heating outfits
belonging to the Barrett Manufacture
Ing company of Cleveland, which are
being drawn by the tractor. There
were 2S tons total weight in the en-
tire load, but the tractor easily
hauled 1t around sharp turns and up
the per cent grade on Cornell street
Cleveland.
One of the every day sights of
tractor with its train of from three to
five tank wagons filed with smoking
asphalt rolling along the streets. BY
this system of hauling the wagons in
a train, five teams have been dis
placed.
1T is interesting to note that the
wagon which is attached direct to the
tractor and used for carrying fuel for
the asphalt heaters is the rear end
Of a motor truck.
This was made from a truck which
the Barrett. company had on hand.
The machinery of the truck was re-
moved from the front axle and steer
ing gear taken off, leaving the frame.

U. S. Rubber company officials in Lozier
Bert S. Bingham
Speaks of the Used
Car Proposition

The second hand car proposition"
said Bert S. Bingham, travelling sales
manager of the Pioneer Automobile
company, is gradually resolving it.
self into legitimate condition. In
other words, what prospective motor
car purchasers of today are most
looking for is the real intrinsic value
of the car they are about to pur-
chaSe-not so much as what the al
lowance is to be on the old car that
they are about to trade in.
AS matter of fact" said Bingham,
lit has become apparent to the general
public that number of so called east
ern manufacturers and assemblers
have put trade prices on their prod
uct and. as a consequence, their cars
are priced $400 or $500 more than
legitimate market value so as to give
the distributors a chance to catch the
unsophisticated public. when 1T comes
to the trading in of their old cars.
The Chalmers Motor company"
concluded Bingham, has always
maintained that the maximum value
should go TO the ultimate retail pur-
ehaser-and. what is more. that this
value should be an honest one Ac-
cordingly, when Chalmers cars are
sold the buyer can feel absolutely GER
tain that he is getting 100 cents on
the dollar value and that complete
motor car satisfaction, as a matter of
course, must follow"

OWNER PRAISES
! APPERSON
CAR
F. S. Meyers, Head of Meyers
Motor Car Co., Receives
! Letter From Official

1T is one Of the greatest pleasures
of life to get a boost. Especially in
the automobile trade, where dealers
are constantly hearing everything
detrimental to his car generally from
an owner who feels to say a kind
word might lessen their chances of
having some work done gratis. The
average owner will tell you all the
shortcomings that he thinks OF hop
ing thereby to create the impression
that he is responsible free of charge .
says F. S. Meyers, the head of the
Meyers Motorcar company. agents for
the Apperson cars.
Therefore. when one finds an
owner who comes out squarely and
unsolicited in his praise it warns
ones heart and makes him feel that
life is worth living. especially in the
commercial world This is the case
in letter we have just received from
William L. Bell. P. A. surgeon, U. S.
N, retired. Doctor Bell resides at
Santa Cruz, and under date of Decem-
Der has written:
In a purely unsolicited way allow
me to say that have never driven
motor car of any make that had the
sturdy, dependable stand up qualities
Of the present Appefson "45." The car
has been driven close to 10000 miles,
without mercy, day and night, with
the least possible attention and has
given absolutely no trouble except for
magnetic adjustment once. You peo-
pie know all that has been done to
the car except oil. water. grease and
gas. and today, after all the hammer
ing. I can get just a little more
power than the car developed eight
months ago. l can hardly imagine an
engine more powerful. more elastic.
or with less vibration at high speeds.
Fan. radiator, axles, clutch and trans
mission are equally good.
Brake Innings show hardly any
wear and are always dry and effect
i've. In fact. it is absolutely the first
car l have owned that met all the
requirements Of the hard service
necessary, and when I get another
motor car 1t will surely be another
AppersOn. 1 should like to see more
Appersons on the road, for the car
deserves a great big patronage

New Winton Owner
Likes the 1914 Car

A well know publisher of coast
paper writes the following letter to
the Winton factory at Cleveland. o.:
Il can not refrain from expressing
my sincere pleasure because of the
splendid car 1 have received from
your company, the car arrived last
Tuesday and was put into commission
few days afterward- 1t is certainly
a thing of beauty and the color and
decorations completely fill my eye.
The additional room in the rear of
the car, making the same accessible
for four or five passengers. is a fea-
sure which pleased me very much. The
ear seems to respond to every require
ment with ease and comfort to the
driver and the passengers, and must
confess that 1 am greatly surprised.
In fact, II I had received a car sub
stantially like my old one. I should
not have been disappointed, and incl
IDENTIFY ] want you people to under
stand that they don't make any bet
ter cars than the one I obtained from
You in May, 1911.
You know. we are always ready to
kick when things go wrong, but we
almost always forget to express our
pleasure when they go right. and I
like to prove the exception to the rule,
hence this letter.

ECONOMY IN FUEL

The factors of maximum fuel econ
omy in a gasoline engine are complete
gasification of the liquid fuel, cor
rect proportion of air with the fuel,
and hot spark. The first of these is
favored by warming the gasoline in
the carbureter, warming the intake
maniold and warming the air that
goes in to make the mixture A fine.
meshed wire cloth cIamped in the
Joint of the carbureter and intake
manifold will favor fine subdivision OF
the spray from the feed nozzle, and is.
of some advantage. Protecting the
intake manifold from the cooling ef-s
feet OF the fan will also help to make
a good mixture.

A PECULIAR SALE

Mr.. II. L. Owesney, manager of the
Winton branch in this city, states
that upon recent demonstration
made by certain salesman in a Win
ton car. in taking out his prospects,
a lady and her son, the son sat in the
front seat with the salesman, asking
many questions, and the mother sat
in the tonneau alone. 1t was a highly
successful demonstration, the pros
pect seeming entirely satisfied.
When the party reached home, Mr.
Prospect. with his eyes still forward,
said, Well, mother, what do you
think of it?" Then Mr.. Prospect and
Mr.. Salesman turned to look, and
what their eyes met was the sight of
the good old lady sound asleep. It
was hardly necessary to add that the
sale was then and there complete.

wheels out of line. so that they point
inward or outward, as the case may
be. instead of paralleling each other
along the road. Tires used on wheels
in this condition, instead of rolling
over the ground with a minimum of
friction, as they should, are compelled
to slide over the ground diagonally,
the sidewise component of this motion
grinding off the rubber from the tread
as effectively as an emery wheel.

DANGEROUS DRIVING

The necessity of caution increases
Greater care in crossing railway
tracks, greater care in passing pri-
vate driveways that open out on to a
public road where shade trees OBJ
scure the view, and greater care in
rushing" hills where another car
may suddenly attempt to rush the
hill In the opposite direction. With
the excess of power now almost COM
mon in all cars, it is far safer to run
slowly down hill and speed up as the
grade ascends The momentum of
the car is a source of danger when
going down hill, but it tends toward
safety when you are going up.

IIII'IlHIIlIIIIIIIlIIIIIIlIHiIIIIII
CAUSE OF TROUBLE

In some cars the two longest high.
tension cables running to the spark
plugs sometimes hang close to, or
even touch. the hot metal of the cyl
inders. After a time the insulation
becomes inefficient, and when the jar
of the car brings the cable in certain
positions there will be short circuit
or no spark. 1t is usually only when
the car is in motion that these misses
occur, and they are thus difficult to
locate. The remedy for this trouble
consists in suspending the cables to
the radiator rod so that they will
not get close to the cylinders.

THE MUSsY GREASE GUN

To fill the grease gun properlv re-
move the nozzle end and with the
piston clear in push the piston down
with the grease as you feed it in with
fiat paddle 'of wood. II the piston
works hard pull it down about one
inch, fill the space with grease and
then pull the piston down another
inch and fill again. Repeat until 1t is
full. The suction of the piston will
draw the grease down so that the va
cant space can be easily filled

ADJUST FOOT BRAKE

Push the pedal forward about two
inches and retain 1t in place with a
small block of wood. Now tighten
up the turn buckle until the brakes
are snug, and when the block of
wood is removed the slack will be cor
rect.

Demand Representation Change.

There never can he another Repub-
licin ConNentlon--if the party is TO
survive its last setback. according TO
some conservatives. on the same ba-
sis Of representation and under the
same rules pertaining To the election
of delegates as those held in the past.
II is pointed out that Roosevelt's COM
plaint about the last convention was
just as a general proposition. hut the
trouble with Roosevelt was that he
wanted TO change the rules while the
game was being played.
In other words. Roosevelt insisted
ON unscating the delegates chosen I'm
accordance with the rules OF the par
ty that prevailed from time immemor-
ial and to seat those elected by other
methods It is to avoid a repetition Of
this situation that leaders OF both
factions want the rules changed be-
tween campaigns.
II IS pointed out that at the last
convention the two delegates from
California who caused so much trou-
bile and aroused the wrath OF the Pro
cressves were in reality the only ones
from the state entitled TO seats under
the rules
