Last year the Detroit Electric led any
enclosed cdr-either gasoline or electric
in volume of sales. Clearly it won
this preference among motor car buyers
solely because of its greater value-for
many enclosed cars ranked lower In price.

TO nearly every manufacturer in the
country, large or small, there is
scarcely an automobile dealer in the
country who does not get some Good

fhls naturally creates a demand for
renewals of our tires, as a tire which
mas given satisfactory service is
pound to create demand for renewals

Goodyear quality and dependability
the ability of our large factory to make
satisfactory shipments at all times, the
advantages offered by our branches
and service stations, and the great
volume of our national advertising.
have enabled us to retain year after
year position in the tire field not an
proached by any other.
We are now using ten per cent. of
the worlds production of crude rub
Der, which indicates the magnitude Of
our operations in the tire field. We
confidently expect that our automobile
tire production for this year will be
well over the two million mark"

ELECTRIC CABR|OLET
POPULAR WITH MEN
W. c. Anderson, President of An
derson Electric Car Co., Tells of
Its Increased Popularity

The American businessman is no
longer mere automobile buyer, who
may be influenced this way or that
by the sales talk of an automobile
salesman. This same businessman,
who few years ago was helpless so
far as being able to wisely deter
mine the merits of various automo-
bile types, is to-day keen not only on
car construction, but also knows the
type OF car to purchase for the work
he has to doN
So 1t is only logical sequence that
| as businessmen study the automobile
situation, as 1t is related to their
daily transportation requirements, that
they should more and more favor
| the electric car of to-day.
The efreminately designed car of sew
eral years ago, with it's dainty trim
mings, short mileage radius and slow
| speed, naturally could not have filled
the demands of the hustling dmpa-
tient-of- -delays) American business
| man. But the American business
mans characteristics which prevented
| his buying an electric car of the old
type are now prompting him to buy
the electric car of to-day, for he is
confident when he starts in an electric
car, he will reach his destination
promptly and without difficulty.
The appearance of the 1915 De-
troit Electric Cabriolet model is
worthy of approval by the reddest of
| our red bloods. Every line of its
| low-hung body bespeaks speed, eff
| cheney and power. In performance
the new Detroit Cabriolet has proved
its practicability beyond a doubt.
Many men who in the past have
more or less patiently put up with
the delays occasioned by one of the
thousand sources of trouble in the
| gasoline car, especially in cold
| weather, have learned that they have
been carrying an unnecessary burden.
Sales reports of the Anderson Elec-
| trio Car Company show that the sale
of their cars to men for their own
use have increased more than 200
per cent. since the snappy-appearing
| fast and sturdy mems models have
| been offered for sale. Much of the
| electric car advertising in the past
| has been devoted to promoting the
electric exclusively for women. True
1t was that the characteristics of the
electric car of the early days was
somewhat effeminate, but this situa-
tion has changed.
Busin nessmen find the electric road
ster or cabriolet of to-day ideal in
appearance, simplicity or operation,
low upkeep cost, availability for i'm
| mediate use at all times of day or
night, continuous satisfactory per-
formance in winter as we'll as sum-
mer and f1exibility in crowded traffic.
Aside from these characteristics,
which may be secured In the cleo
trically propelled vehicle only, a dem
onstration will prove to the most
skeptical that ample speed and mile
age is offered.

Scripps-BoOth Now
Building New Factory

Ground has been purchased and
work is now going forward as rapidly
as possible on beautiful new three
story fireproof factory which will be
the home of the Scripps-Booth car"
says G. II. Mauk, of the Universal
Motor Car Company, local distribu-
tors.
so great has been the success of
the Scripps- Booth Company in their
one short year of existence in serv-
ing the public demands that they
now find their present factory wholly
inadequate to cope with the ever in
creasing demand for the Scripps-
Booth cars. The new factory will
have a capacity of 100 cars a day.
THE wonderful success this firm

words for such car. In any COM
pany, anywhere and everywhere the
Hudson invariably attracts flattering
attention and comment. There are
other cars as big, many much lower
priced, several that are popular in
certain localities. Yet among them
all the Hudson is practically conceded
to be the leader. 1t possesses a pres
tige, a reputation, a quality position
that sets it apart. It presents the
rare example of a car that is moderate
in price yet that holds commanding
position among cars of the highest
price and most extreme quality.
Ninety-five per cent. of the people
who buy Hudsons are experienced
motorists. Perhaps 2S per cent. have
previously owned Hudsons. This
strongly indicates that men who know
most about Hudsons are the ones to
whom 1t most strongly appeals.

1t has become evident that automobile
tires, like other commodities expected
to give service, must be sold upon
merit and performance.
Motorists. since they have obtained
voice in the original tire equipment
on their cars, are more discriminating
now than ever before in their selec-
ton of tires. In time when competi-
ton is keener than ever, with many
of this business the fact that Good
year tops the list of number of cars
equipped speaks volumes for the pres
tage of Goodyear tires and the favor
in which they are held by motorists
ut is interesting to note that Good
years not only equip a larger percent
age of all new cars than any other tire,
but also that more different manufac-
turers use them. This means a wider

Hudson Claims to Be
Car Without a Critic

According to L. H. Hagerling of
the Hudson sales agency, the local
Hudson distributors, the claim that
the Hudson is "the car without a
critic" is literally true. Among the
many local motor car owners no one
can be found who has anything but
good things to say Of the Hudson.
The "Yachtline" design, the extra
room in the tonneau, the convenience
of the new style auxiliary seats, and
many other features appeal to all.
Everyone knows that there are 49,
600 of these Hudson light skies now
in use. This is one of those convinc-
ing proofs that cannot be set aside.
It stands as mountain of fact before
a car buyer. 1t makes it impossible
for him to have anything but good

than good management and the fact
that they put out a car that has
proved itself to be all that can be
expected of any motor car at its

the Scripps- Booth Company to build

and sturdy in it's build.

VANCOUVER. May 16.-A deliberate attempt of a number of the alien enemy to destroy the Banefied cable station was frustrated by the armed sentries who have been posted on guard since the inception of the war. The bitter hostility which has prevail
 ed since the sinking of the Lusitania
 has led to innumerable eXcesses on the part of both citizens and aliens and the attempted destruction of the cable station is evidently by way of reprisal for the recent attacks on local busi- ness houses which were run by Ger mans, a number of which were de- |stroyed by angry mobs.
