TEACH WOMEN TO
DRIVE, IS ADVICE
Washington Man Says Dealers Could Do Much for Industry by
Education of Feminine Owners of Motors, on How to
Handle Machines on the Streets

Merely describing to a woman how
she should pass street cars and other
vehicles is not enough In educating
woman how to drive An electric auto
mobile says man who has done
much to make the electric vehicle popu-
lar in Washington.
She must be shown on the road he
continued She must see and expert
ence the method Of turning corners on
the right, and learn first hand how
every rule of the road operates Before
she be passed as a driver and allowed
to drive alone. for her own advantage.
she should know herself competent in
every particular. from an understanding
of traffic whistles to Knowledge of
where she can park her car in business
hours. and from the experience of skid
reading the recording Instruments on
the machine, so that she can figure the
costs and current the car is using.
Dealers Could Help. ,
There is a great deai OF talk at
present in the big cities about the wom

effect II the automobile dealers would
offset the feeling arising they must

SOLID TRUCK TIRES
MAKE BIG MILEAGE
Secret of Economy Lies in.
Proper Handling Of Vehicle
to Avoid Unnecessary Wear.

Every motor truck owner pricks up
his ears when he hears Of large tire
mileage, and begins to wonder how 1t is
done.
One of the big companies which ham
dies practically all of the transfer busi-
ness OF one of the railroads in Wash
irgton. Baltimore. and Philadelphia, has
solved the problem of getting the maxi
mum wear out of the solid tires on its
transfer trucks.
Washington recently made the following
remarkable mileage on a set Of Good
rich wireless motor truck tires, accord
ing to a report to the B. F. Goodrich
Company:
The truck hauled it's first load Of bag
gage in June f911, and never a thought
was given to the tires for nearly two
years. In January, 1913, the first re-
placement was necessary when one rear
tire was changed after it had run 1900
miles. In April the other rear tire was
taken off with II, 900 miles to it's credit.
The front tires were changed. one in
May and one in September. 1913. after
ls.Sc< and %. 300 miles Of service re-
spec:Ivelt. The rear tires now on the
truck have gone 10000 miles and are
good for more.
The secret of the whole matter lies
righ: in the handling Of the truck. 1t
has been operated under good road CON-
dit!ons: IL is never overloaded and new
er overspeeded. The driver resists the
temptation to use the car tracks as a
speed way. Any motor truck in normal
service. handled as these trucks are
handled, should develop fully as salts
factory mileage.

WHY BUY NEW CAR
IF SATISFIED NOW?
Automobile Agent Points to
Growing Item in Economy Of
Ownership.

"Why do so many automobile own
ers buy a new car each year and why
do they SO frequently buy a differ
ent make each year? Simply because
they are dissatisfied; or. il they do
buy the same make Of car each year.
they do it thinking the new model
will be more satisfactory than the
old" says an automobile agent. VINO
has followed the game for years.
IF a man is satisfied there is no
reason for sacrificing on his car and
buying a new one. OF course. IL his
financial circumstances are such that
he can crafty the whim of having the
very latest it is different. but the
majority of owners today are not so
financially well off that they can
keep on indulging themselves in that
way.
"Frequently buying is not economi-
cal and loss through depreciation Is
excessive. 1t is a burden that owners
generally, cannot continue to stand.
1t is an expense that is entering into
consideration in the great wave Of
economical sentiment now manifest
ing itself in the automobile world.
Added to the question of economy
of operation is the important item
Of economical ownership. Can car
be run for several years and be salts
factory for longer than the first sea-
son. and will it have a good selling
value at the end Of reasonable per-
iod Of usage?
These points must be carefully con-
sidered. A car today must meet an
intelligent desire for satisfaction. It

MAGNETIC PROVES TO

1 Automobile Dealer Gives Advice on How to Buy Car
MOTOR CARS RAISE
REAL ESTATE VALUES.
Novel Angle to Automobile Busi-
ness Pointed Out BY John H.
WiIIys, Noted Expert.

An angle of the automobile business
which a great majority Of the people
of this country have failed to take into
real estate values since the horse was
relegated to the background by the mo-
tor car" said John N. WHY'S. president
of the Willys-Overland Company. one Of
the big men in the automobile industry
of this country.
There is no way Of estimating the
Increase in dollars and cents. but ii
has been country-wide-from the con-
gested city districts to the most re-
mote farming territory.
In the cities the elimination of the
horse barn has added millions of dol
lars to the, value of downtown real es-
tate. For years past We have seen de-
sirable manufacturing enterprises driv-
en- away from areas where horsese were
housed. 1t has been out of the ques-
ton to attempt to build residences any,
where near territories where there are
number of stables. With the sub

increased by leaps and bounds, the
added worth in some cases being as
much as 100 per cent"

Table Factory Reorganized

Within the past week the financial
matters affecting the Clio Manufacture
ing Co.. have been adjusted, and the
entire plant and property has been pur-
chased and taken over by R. N. and
Isaac Gillett, who will hereafter con-
duct the business under the firm name
of the Gillett Manufacturing Co. R. N.
Gillett will be the active manager of
the business and being thoroughly con-
versant with all its details, is in the
best possible position to conduct it sue
cessfully. In construction and finish,
the work turned out by the factory in
the past was all that could be desired
and commanded ready sale, but owing
to the fact that there was no dry kiln
it did not stand up as it should and con-
siderable difficulty ensued. This inn
portant detail will now be remedied, the
material for first-class kiln being
on the ground and the work of construc-
ton will be started at once. The fac
tory building and equipment is thor
oughly good and from far smaller be-
ginnings have grown some of the most
successful manufacturing enterprises
in the country. Here's hoping that
the Gillett Manufacturing Co. scores an
unbounded success.
