CHRISTIAEnS IN
HARVEST CLASSIC
Noted Belgian Driver VIII Pilot Sun
beam Car in Grind at Indian
apOliS, Sept. 8.

indianapolis, Aug. 1.-THE fourth
entry for the three events in the Har-
vest Auto Racing classic at the In
dianapolis motor speedway on Sept. 9
adds the international touch which
has not been lacking in any of the
events ever raced on the big brick
race course. Josef Christiaens is the
first foreign driver to enter the 20, so
and 100-miIe events on the program
and he will drive the English Sun
beam in which he has made a name for
himself on the various tracks of
America, as well as in foreign cOun-
tries
The car is the same which raced first
in New York last spring, then in the
Decoration day race here last May
and then at Chicago in June. Chris
tiaens was in the money in all three
events. He finished second to Aitken
in the Coney Island Cup event at
New York; fourth in the local event,
and third in the 300-miIe race at Chi
cagO.
The big Belgian soldier, aviator and
race driver, has proven his ability in
many races and is a consistent money
winner. He cOnServes his car and if
unable to finish first at the pace set,
seems satisfied with second, third or
fourth. The car is exceptionally fast
and it should make a great showing in
the short races.
The motor is a six-cyIinder Sun
beam, manufactured by the English
Sunbeam company. It has a bore of
3-2I inches and a stroke of GA inches,
giving a piston displacement of 299 8
cubic inches The car is rather heavy.
weighing 2300 pounds, but the weight
seems to give II a certain traction on
the giant speedway curves which
causes it to ride them easily at high
speed
Christians is a powerful man with
wealth of racing experience He also
has seen service as an aviator and
understands the gasoline motor
thoroughly. His many victories and
his ability to finish high in a majority
of the races he enters, should make
him one of the favorites here
With Christians will ride Frank
Bill, the little Englishman who was
with him in the 300-mile race here last
May Bill is a thorough mechanic and
always succeeds in keeping things
lively around the track with his quaint
humOr. He insists that the Sunbeam
is the fastest thing on wheels.
The Sunbeam brings the total to
four cars entered in the September
event Two Peugeots, with Aiken and
Nerz at the wheels and the Ostewig
Special with S. Ostewig driving, are
the other entries received by General
Manager T. E. Myers of the speedway.

The Tendency of Every
Man Is to Live up to
His Name

Wherever you find a good name you will find some man
trying to live up to it. Character follows reputation far more
quickly than reputation follows character. No one ever lost his
good name except through folly.
What the world thinks of a man is the very best moral tonic
that is sold under the label of philosophy.
And it is the same with merchandise as it is with men. The
nameless thing is dreaded everywhere, while the thing with q
good name is usually good because you expect it to be.
Men grow proud of their products You will find a manu-.
facturer saying, "This shoe has got to be good because it bears
my name" You will find a Gamer saying, 81 cannot use I've any
more than l can tell a le" You will find a clothing manufac-
turer saying, eff 1 am all WOOL my clothing must also be all
WOOL"
And so it goes with every single product that carries a brand
or a name. Whenever a man sets standard, he strives to live up
to it; and whenever the world sets that standard, he doubles the
effort.
Which simply means, if you want the best, you must ask for
the best. And every time you ask, you make it better.
There is hardly one of you readers who does not know the
name of every good product on the market. From clothing to
sugar and from hosiery to baking powder some good name is
indelibly fixed in your mind, yet, when you ask for an article,
most of the time you do not use that name.
And every time you fail to do so, you discourage the maker,
you lower the standard for yourself and you allow some inferior
thing to gain in strength and capacity.
Let this go home in your mind You set the standard of mer.
chandise. The maker follows your ideals. Authorizations creep
in through your laxity. Whenever you ask for any old thing.
you get it.
While you are reading the advertising news in this paper
today, make up your mind to ask only for what you know to be
good; to learn what is best and demand it and to have no parley
with the nameless things of trade.
