OLD ADAGE.

1t is a thoroughly established fact
that there are more Scmidts in Mil
waukee than in any other American
city Of similar size.
This condition was personally known
to j. G. Wollaeger, who sells Stude-
baker automobiles in the Wisconsin
metropolis. He was, therefore, not
greatly surprised to note one day that
his list Of prospective customers in

That afternoon Mr.. Wollaeger SAL

Schmidt noted the Glie:ness of the

Mrs. Schmidt was also pleased. Mr..
Wollaeger produced an order blank
and the Schmidts bought a car.
While this deal was in progress, H.
S. Deland, Mr.. Wollaeger's chief of
staff, had been out in ask" Landau

Schmidt, according to arrangement.
Jacob looked at the car as a closed

ENGEN G. WRIGHT, REAL ESTATE
FIRM, WILL HANDLE THE CAR
TERCAR - FINE NEW MODEL
FOR THIS YEAR-soME OF ITS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS. .

The firm of Engen & Wright, Attor-
ney Engen and Seth G. Wright, have
decided to enlarge their business and
have accepted the local agency for the
Cartercar. They are exl Getting a nice
business. Some Of the good points of
the Cartercar are brought out in the
following:
There are other things claiming the
attention Of the people down on our
southern frontier besides the fall Of
IoSreon and the depredations Of the
Me|hcan bandits" states Harry r.
Bradford, vice president and general
manager Of the Cartercar Co., Ponti-
&C, Mich.
Down the main street of the little
town Of Douglas, Ariz.. the other day,
a procession Wended it's way.
so unusual q sight vas this that
nearly the entire %populace of the town
were assembled along the street to
watch 1T. Mingling with the crowd
were the mechanics from the railroad
SHOPS n they We're perha| s the most
interested Of the spectators.
Heading the parade was a model 7
1,artercar containing five passengers.
This Cartercar was the new model
brought out for the first time this year
by u company.
Drawn by the CarterCar were three
Dig frelght1ng wagons loaded high
with lumber, the combined weight of
which was over twelve tons. Behind
came many other automobiles and men
on horseback.
Some OF those present had heard Of
the wonderful pulling power of the
gearless transmission and a few had
seen some Of the demonstrations made
by the larger Cartercars but it was the
wonder Of the hour that a
lively light car, such as the model Z
could draw this enormous load so cas-
lily.
Those with sportive instincts wag-
cred that the car could not even start
the a It was a tense moment when
f.. V. Abbott, representing the Car
tercar factory, thrust forward the lev
er which permits the fibre wheel in the
gearlesT transmission to roll against
the metal disk rcVolved by the engine.
"MechaniCs from the shops declared
that thu drive wheels would certainly
slip in starting.
Yet the instant hat the lever went
forward the wheels began to turn
without so much as a fraction of an
inch slippage and the wheels of the
wagons began to turn the same mo-
ment that the power was applied,
through the gearless transmission"

WHY THE JACKSON CARS
HAVE EXTRA WIDE DOORS

jackson cars have extra wide doors
because G. A. Matthews, president Of
the company, is a large man." says
II. B. Bonde, the Jackson representa-
tive in this locality.
Before the automobile came along
and interested him, Mr.. Matthews built
carriages. He built them with wide
comfortable entrances because he be-
lived a carriage should be made that
way.
When he began to make automo-
piles, he saw no reason to change his
views. So, when he built the first side
door n body ever put on an AM
erican car, the door were generously
wide. From that day in 1904 down to
the 1914 models. Jackson cars have
been distinguished by having wide
doors. Any designer or engineer who
has suggested narrower entrances has
found himself staunchly opposed by
MT. Matthews, and seer his good reas-
ons torn to ribbons and tatters."

A Dog Auto Wagon.

Detroit, Micn., April 1S.-Police
Commissioner Gillespie is lining up the
Detroit motor department. in good
shape, rearranging it from an econ
omic and utility standpoint.
The new dog wagon, ordered from
the Commerce Motor Car company of
Detroit, has just been delivered. The
body, built specially to meet specifi-
cations. is unique. being partitioned
by lattices, giving a number of indi-
Vldual compartments. These are
available through doors on the rear
and sides of the car.
Commissioner Gillespie finds it more
advantageous and economical to use
cars Of this lighter type in place Of
the heavier predecessors, in that, the
unit cost permits of having two cars
at the same price or less than one
larger machine. This Is the second
Commerce car purchased by the De-
troit police department in less than a
year. The first car has been and is
giving capable service and a number
of cities have begun investigation to-
ward installing similar equipment in
their service.

News OF the first French victory Of
the war-the capture of the village Of
Altkrich, in Alsace, near the Swiss

Observers In Paris were prepared to
hear that the French had been obliged
during the first days of the fighting to
give way before the German advance.
The rejoicing was all the greater,
therefore, because the first important
engagement had been fought in Ger
mar territory and the French had OBJ.
tanned a footing.
Military authorities had been CON
WINGED that the French army would as.
