GRANT WAS BEST AND CHEAPEST
CAR They COULD GET AS AGENCY

Explaining their reasons for
having selected the Grant car as
low-priced machine to distribute
in Tacoma, the Gramm- Bernstein
Motor Truck company, $50 G
street, has issued the following
bulletin:
when We were looking over
the various cars offered by the
different eastern manufacturers
our idea and purpose In view was
to secure car that would appeal
to the working class of people. To
make this selection, we had to
keep In mind very strongly many
essential features; first. the car
must be low in price, well built to
stand hard usage, and above all,
car that could be operated with
very little or no upkeep expense,
and also one that had a very low
fuel consumption. After many
weeks searching, we had about
given the matter up, believing
that such car was not to be had
at the present time. Finally we
found one that fully qualified in
all of the above specifications--
this was the Grant car. We
found In this car one that sold
for very low price, was exception
ally well built, had a decidedly
good appearance, and one that
could be operated for very small
expense.
When one considers that fully
thirty miles can be made on one
gallon of gasoline and very
small amount of oil, without COM
plicated features to become out of
adjustment, causing trouble, de-
lay and expense, and the fact that
the tires cost only $3.50 each, it
places the Grant within reach of

A daily increasing demand for
Excelsior motorcycles has caused
e. e. Peterson, Tacoma agent for
the machines, to leave his former
location, 18th and X streets, and
remove to larger quarters at ia

now has large display room,

a collection of pieces which will not

The washing of valuable china needs

GOOD BREAKS IN BASEBALL
II Made to Order They Could Not
Have Eventuated to Better Ad-
vantage in American League.

One of the most satisfactory seasons
known to baseball, considering the try
ing conditions under which it is being
played, is now being rounded out in
the American Baseball league, says a
writer in the Detroit News.
If the breaks" had been made to
order they couldn't have sventuated
to better financial advantage, in view
Of the fact that disastrous baseball
war is on and troubles over baseball
players have made the high cost OF
champions still higher.
Perhaps the most remarkable good
break is the manner in which every
club, with the exception of the Maps,
has taken it's turn at squirting, thereby
keeping alive local interest-and the
box Office
By turns Detroit, Washington, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Boston, Philadelphia,
and now New York, enjoyed a little
furry of success. The poor Maps
have yet to take their dash and, it
it feared, their case is too dead for
even an eleventh-hour excitement to
attract much financial attention around
the circuit.
The Chicago Sox's squirt came at a
time when the Chifeds threatened to
grab the town popularity. The Browns
good showing began early, when fail
ure might have given the Feds a
chance to seat themselves firmly in
the hearts of local fans, had they
owned real club. The Feds failed,
which was another nice break for the
big league.
The Athletics did not show too
strongly early in the game, thereby
saving the slim attendances which a
runaway race might have caused.
Walter Johnson's weakening kept
the senators from going too far to the
front at critical time. Altogether, it
appears to have been an act-of-Provi
dence sort of year in both leagues.
