Considered Good Reputation.
Judge Shumway in pronouncing
sentence said to LaDuca- You have
apparently borne a good reputation

WESTCOTT' CARS
HAND PAINTED

One Of the many interesting fea-
lures connected with the Westcott
cars Is the method by which the paint
II applied to the bodies and chassis. ac-
cordtng to F. T. Ross, publicity man
aser Of the company. The paint on
Westcott bodies and chassis is neither
sQuirted, sprayed or baked but II APP
applied by hand with = common. ordi-
nary brush and this alone b respon-
sible for the superb finish found on
Westcott cars.
When the new spraying method OF
applying the paint on automobile
bodies and chassis crept into the In
dustry." said Mt. Ross. the officials
of the Westcott Motor Car company
turned an absolutely cold shoulder to
1t because they contended II meant the
thinning Of the paint with benxtne and
turpentine to q certain degree. and
that this could not insure the same
fine and lasting finish as the brush
method. The workmen employed in
the painting department are al old
time carriage painters and have been
with the company for years. They are
experts at the trade and work as II
they have personal interest in the
future success OF the company"

Upon Mr.. Marsh's return to Cory the
Board OF Commerce gave him big
reception at which Mro Marsh gave an
interesting talk on the events of the
trip. At that time portion of the fol-
successful and enjoyable trip Mr..
Marsh Is more than ever before a ri.

Every one who understands the
football rules knows that after q game

openly to direct operations. Likewise.
as every one knows, there are mo-
ments during every game when the
coach would sacrifice his left thumb
to be able to get a bit of advice to
his men.
Coaches have tried many schemes
to get words Of advice to their men,

- A question that has often been
asked is, "who owned the first auto
mobile in Richmond or Wayne county"
and 1t has remained unanswered for a
long time.
While AL. Spekenhier was in town
this week on a visit to friends from
his home in Bogalusa, Florida, the
question was put to him and he solved
the problem by answering quickly, Il
did,
1T was back in 1885," said Mr.
Spekenhier. that Hi Henry's min
strels came through here and the prin.
cipal attraction was an automobile. It
was a machine operated by steam,
built In Bridgeport, Conn, and as we
would view it now 1t was a sight.
Everybody in town was out to see
1t and the driver ran it up and down
the streets for the amusement of the
crowd
when / saw it cut figure eight at
the corner of Eighth and Main streets

it If possible.

Il went to Hi Henry and asked him
what he would take for it and he said
100000. was in politics In those
days and had that much money so
bought 1t.
'sThe machine was equipped with q
big whistle and every time you'd blow
it you'd have to get out and water up.
for it took as much steam to blow the
whistle as it did to run the car.
Every horse in town was In mortal
terror of the machine and 1 had to use

''Oh-oh, it's you, Boots is it," ar.

Yes, you've guessed 1t. Boots. who

a former quarterback for Norristown.
This year he grabbed the job as ad-

THE car had three.an half feet

noise it would make.

an hour and in going that distance
would consume two or three barrels
of water, that is providing you didn't

use up ton or two more.
