Sunday Gets Grant
AGENCY; Enthused
Over Little Auto

A genuine surprise is In store
for Tacoma people who visit the
first annual automobile show
next week. While in the east
Manager G.. M. Sunday OF the
Gramm-Bernstein Motor Truck
company visited the different
shows in the larger eastern cit
les whore the greatest array of
motor vehicles in the world were
exhibited. After q careful study
of the construction on the differ
ent machines displayed the sturdy
little Grant car was chosen after
all its points were weighed In de-
tail. Mr.. Sunday was 80 en-
Unused with this car that In order
to allow the people of Tacoma to
catch the first glimpse of this
little aristocrat he ordered one
sent by express, the car arriving
here last Friday.
The Grant represents the last
word in motor car construction,
embodying all the characteristics
of the highest priced cars on the
market. Taking into considera-
tion the quality of material and
workmanship along with Its gen.
-eral lines and its amazingly low
price 1t is without question the
wonder of the season.
The Grant model shown at the
show is a roadster type, having a
four cylinder, water-cooled mo-

THOUSAND CARS
ARE SOLD IN
ONE WEEK.

A million dollars worth Of
motor cars in a week-one
thousand cars in seven days--is
the record made BY the Thomas
B. Jeffrey company at the Chi
cago automobile show just closed.
One hundred and thirty-eisht
new Jeffrey cars were sold for
immediate delivery during the
exhibition, and while at q dinner
given to the middle western JEFF
fiery dealers one thousand cars
were ordered for delivery before
April 1.
While the announcement of
the new Jeffrey line was made
as late as November 1, seven
thousand cars were ordered by
dealers since that time.

twenty-five names on it.
Our first season, or the year
1912, we sold 1853 Ford cars. The
next season, or 1918, we sold 306
cars, an increase in sales of 154
cars, or one hundred per cent. We
will sell this season 500 cars in
Tacoma, or an increase over last
season of 1914 cars. Beginning
the 1913 season, we had running
about Tacoma 900 Ford cars. This
is convincing evidence that every
second car will be a Ford in the
very near future.
while the increase in the
number of sales in Tacoma for
the Ford car have been great, yet
we think that this increase will
be much greater in the future due
to the fact that Henry Ford is a
man who is not only interested
in the welfare of the Ford Motor
company and his employees, but in
the entire universe"

Baldwin Says He Will
Sell 500 FOrdS i'm 1914

In speaking of the rapid growth
of the Ford Motor company, Man.
ager w. c. Baldwin of the Uni
versal Motor company and rep
resentative for the popular Ford
car in Tacoma, expressed himself
as more than pleased with the
plan Henry Ford has adopted with
his employees, and says that the
giving away of $10.000,000 in
one year is almost inconceivable.
While the Ford Motor COM
pany has been making great
strides, we have been going along
some ourselves" said Baldwin.
1.-TWO years ago we started in
at Tacoma with a small office
and shop and at this time our pay
roll was made up with one sales
man, bookkeeper, one me-
chanic, one helper and now and
then an extra man.. At this time
our pay roll has been increased,
until now We never have less than

SAFETY FIRST
IS SLOGAN
Of AGENT

; II think the slogan Safety
First" which has recently been
adopted by the railroads is one
which may we'll be taken up in
the automobile world, both by
owners and manufacturers
said c. Il. Taylor today, mana
ger OF the A street garage, and
agent In Tacoma for the Chal-
mers and Overland cars.
1.-THE motor car, like practical
ly every new thing, has suffered
from extravagant use. 1t is hu-
man nature to go to extremes.
We are all inclined to regard
new things as toys and literally
to run wild with them until we
become accustomed to having
them about.
This has been true of motor
cars. The automobile and those
who use automobiles, as we'll as
pedestrians, have suffered from
reckless driving. The mania for
speed is inherent In the human
race. To go faster, whether for
pleasure or on business, has
been the aim of all races of men.
IL am glad to see that the will
of most drivers is more and more
In favor Of safety driving.
I'm inaugurating the Safety
First" campaign at the Chalmers
factory, they made some tests on
the difference of time between
safety driving and reckless driv-
ing. The Chalmers factory is
five miles from the center of De-
troit. They found that this dis
lance can be covered well with
in the speed limit In IS to 20
minutes. Driving five miles
above the speed limit wherever
traffic permits, only cuts from
two to three minutes off the run
ming time for this distance.
think of the folly of a driver
running incalculable risks, en-
dangering his machine, himself
and pedestrians, simply to save
two or three minutes. There is
not one instance In a thousand
when these two or three minutes
make any difference as far as
ultimate accomplishment is con-
cerned."

An Appeal to the Women
of Lexington.

In Civil war days an appeal
was sent to every state in the
Union by the Sanitary War Re.
lief committee for old linen
sheets, pillow cases, blankets,
towels, tableclothes, napkins
and fiannels to be cut up into
surgical dressings and binders
for the wounded soldiers. At
that time gauze dressings were
not in use, so the women of fifty
years ago made the dressings for
1.-THE wounded men at the front
from such articles. We all know
how general was the response to
this appeal; old chests were ran.
sacked, drawers, trunks and clos.
cts were searched and treasures
long hidden were Willingly sac.
rificed to supply the demand.
Today the orders from Europe
for gauze aud cotton are so 81.
gantic that our factories are un-
able to meet them. 30 again the
women Of America are rendering
similar service to the wounded
in Europe. They are appealing
to the public for the material re.
CURED to manufacture dressings
for use in the hospitals. 1t is
hoped that scraps OF linen pack.
ed away in old attics, or mater.
ials now being used as busters,
furniture covers, ETC., will be
forwarded to the committee. A
piece Of goods twelve inches
square in all otherwise ragged ar,
ticle will make dressing for
some poor wounded lad. This
work has been undertaken by
the Vacation War Relief Com.
mittee which has already open
ed up free employment bureau
and a. work room, where gar.
ments are being made for the
European hospitals and war refu.
gees. All goods should be ad.
dressed to the Surgical Dressings
committee at 81 West Thirty.
ninth street. Materials should
be clean and carefully folded to
prevent creasing. All dressings
will be sterilized before being
shipped to Europe. Packing and
transportation have been prom.
ised free of expense. In response
to the above appeal persons can
send articles to Mrs. H. Victor

tional Civic Federation Of New

forward them to the Vacation

Having read the above appeal
md knowing from observation
what comfort such assistance can
carry to the wounded, l ask the
women Of Lexington to look
their closets and cup
board, make collection of such ar.
ticles as are asked for. II same
will be sent to me or left at some
convenient place ! will collect,

A Remarkable stork.

The whale billed stork is found on
lake south of the White Nile. The
lake has never been mapped and Is
bOrdered by extensive swamps. 1t Is
hard to tell where swamp ends and
lake begins. for most of the water sur
face is covered with dense mat OF
tangled vegetation On this mat the
whale billed stork builds its nest. 1t Is
very rare bird and is known to the
Arabs rs the Father Of the Shoe, be-
cause of Its huge shoe shaped bill. 1t
Is of solitary habits. blackish gray In
color, with wide spreading long toed
feet adapted for standing on the quak-
ing surface Of floating field OF vege-
tation. Its habits are sluggish. and 1t
lives mainly ON fish. Colonel Roosevelt
describes II as "hunting sedately In
muddy shadows or standing motionless
for hours. surrounded by reed beds or
by long reaches Of treacherous ooze."
