Lozier Car Taken
Out of Production
For Long Test Trip

The latest news from the Lozier fac
tory. where the new $500 Four is the
center of attraction, is the decision of
President Gilbert to send a new car right
out of production on a test tour at the
end of every week What infinite pains
is taken to have this new product of the
Lozier company perfect to the last de-
tail is shown In the description of the
first one of these test trips planned by
Gilbert.
He walked into the plant in the midst
OF production and took the first car he
came to, then notified seven men-hesvy
men-that they had been chosen to take
the car to Monroe, Mich, torty-five miles
and back. So without any kind OF tuning
or attention of any kind, other than to
provide the car with oil and to fill the
tank with gasoline. the party started. --
Nc owner would think Of putting his
car through the test we put that Four
through" said Chief Engineer John G.
Perrin, one OF the party, on his return.
When only a few miles out of Detroit
we saw it was going to be a gruelling trip
because the frozen crust OF the road had
melted ard left an almost bottomless
wallow of clay We kept record OF the
performance of the car and found IT had
done twenty-one miles in first and sec

CARTERCAR WINS IN CONTEST
Pulls Enormous Load Up a Hill in
Unique Competition.
OTHERS FAIL ON HILL PULL
Idaho FnlIs Man Thoroughly Dem
Onstrates what the Cartercnr Can
Do when Put TO the Test
g.. Rt Pulling.

In spectacular pulling contest at
Idaho Falls March T. a four-cylinder,
forty-horsepower Cartercar costing 81 800
was driven by Joseph F. Sicko for over
100 feet up a hill with six loaded wagons
and seventy-five men attached to it, rep
resenting a total load of about twenty
two tons. In the same contest six
cylinder, forty-eght horsepower Winton
car costing $500, was driven around a
block by DR.. Snodgrass with three
loaded wagons and thirty men attached
to 1t, the tota load being about eleven
tons. The big crowd which witnessed
the tests awarded the decision to the
CarterGar friction drive machine. whose
load was not attempted by any other
make of car.
The pulling contest started with Mr..
Sicko's demonstration Of his car hauling
a 6,sOC-pound load OF coal around the
city. He said that the machine could
easily pull. several more loads, and that
a young woman could readily operate
the car, even under the handicap of the
big load attached. To prove his asser-
ton, he then attached two loads of po-
tatoes, Weighing 1000 and 5000 pounds,
respectively, and hauled them along the
street with a bunch of. men riding on
the wagons. Then wheel of one of the
wagons was blocked with an inch and
a quarter, stone and the Cartercar again
dragged the big load
At this juncture in the demonstration
DIR Snodgrass, representing the Winton
car, offered to produce a machine which
the Cartercar could not outpull. He used
MIR. Porter's big Winton and pulled the
load around the block, .,. t.,s ..l
Then to further demonstrate the Car
tercar sicko attached three more wagons
to the string, two loaded with lumber
OF 1000 and $500 pounds, respectively and
the third with a load of about 5000
pounds. Telling the crowd to get onto
the wagons, he dragged the entire load
Weighing about twenty-five tons, uphill
for over 100 feet. No other auto man
attempted to haul the final load with
any other car, so with the consent Of the
crowd, Sicko claimed his Cartercar to
be the winner of the contest, and issued
a challenge to all autoists and dealers
10 try to match the Cartercar perform
ance. According to the Idaho Falls sun
day Post, which reports the contest, the
feat has not been duplicated and the
Cartercar was the victor.

From reports which have been received
within the past few days it would seem
that some of the hoodlum element of the
city have keys by which they are able to
enter some of the places of business on
Water street. Capt. Woodman, who con-
ducts a lunch room a short distance
above Bridge street, reported Monday
morning that his place had been entered
Sunday night in this way and that a
small bank which he had used in eennec-
ton with his cigar sales. and which con-
tanned at the time about IS, had been
taken together with it's contents 1t is
also reported that a few nights ago some
young fellows were seen trying to unlock
the door of C. B. Murphy's drug store
but were driven away.
