ERNEST SELBY OLDEST
PAIGE DEALER in u. S.
Has Been Selling Same Brand of Cars
Since 1909, Wher Firm Formed.

Washington is the home OF the Oldest
Paige dealer in the United States. His
name is Ernest Selby, president of the
Selby Company. better known as "Dick"
Selby. He has been selling the same
brand of motor cars since 1909. 1t was
In that year that the Paige Detroit motor
car came into existence. and with them
began Selby's life as an automobile dealer
In Washington. Previous to that time
he had been in the steam engineering
business.
The Paige Company started out by
building a two-cycle, three-cylinder ear.
In their first year the output of the fac
tory was less than 800 cars, and Of this
number Selby sold nine-all he could get.
In 1911 the factory decided that the
two-cycle car would not meet the re-
Qulrements of the buying public and
abandoned II for the four-cycle motor.
This same year the firm commenced
building touring cars; previous to this
1t had built nothing but roadsters. 1t
was at this time that the Seiby Com
pany. which had started in business at
the corner of Fourteenth and streets
northwest moved into a larger building
in o street between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets where service facilities
were better. The firm remained here
until 1914, when IT moved to its present
quarters. 1905 Fourteenth street, directly
across the street from their original
locat tion.
Today the Paige Company is building
four and six-cyclinder cars in roadsters,
touring cars. Sedans and lmousines How
well Selby's judgment in the car has
proved Is shown by the fact that last
week he sold rs machines in Washington
and adjacent territory.
In addition TO being the Oldest Paige
car dealer in the United States, he is
one OF the oldest dealers in this city who
has continuously handled the same car
The Washington herald., 1916-10-29

o0o II is said that during the present
year IN the neighborhood of 5000 Of these
units have been marketed. Every i'm
portant city in the country has a large
number Of them in use and they are
employed In almost every kind of service.
These outhts lengthea the wheel base
Of the Ford chassis and by Substituting
heavier rear springs, wheels, frame, etc,
for the parts regularly used are capable
OF carrying heavier loads. Changed by
means of the device a chassis will carry
1,5OO pounds. 1900 pounds. and more.
1t is easy to understand why the man
ufaeturers Of these units have been able
to sell such large numbers. One-ton
trucks selling around 500 are scarce and
have not an established reputation for
all kinds OF work. The Ford car, on
the other hand, has long been known as
reliable piece Of machinery, and the
prospective owner OF a converted truck
either owned the Ford chasls or has
friends who vouch for the stability of
could hope to buy a standard one-ton
machine which will perform his work
satisfactory and at slight expense. Any
type body desired can be fitted to them.
1t Is said that the Ford Motor Company
next year will build 10000 cars 1t is
safe to say that one per cent Of them
will be used for commercial purposes. In
the neighborhOod Of 100000 Ford cars
are now in use, and It is a safe estimate
to state that at least ten per cent OF
them Will be converted into commercial

FORD CHASSIS PROVES
AID TO BUSINESS MEN
Converters. on Market for Two Years,
Gain in Popularity.

Thousands Of small merchants through
out the country have been materially
aided In the carrying on Of their business
BY means Of the converted Ford chassis
sometimes in the past they found that
the horse and wagon constituted too slow
Q method of delivery If they hoped to
retain their own trade and in addition
secure a little Of their competitors. Con-
sequently they purchased a Ford delivery
wagon, which solved the delivery problem
for a time, but as their business grew,
It could not handle the increase The
growth did not warrant the purchase of
a large truck as yet, but something with
greater carrying capacity which did not
neeessitats the expenditure Of much
moBsV was needed.
Two years ago the first Ford chassis
eonveFters were put on the market, and
from the first they have been a success.

AUTO ATTRACTIVE AS
CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Christmas is but a matter Of weeks
away. Year by year the custom is grow
ing for those who can afford It and wish
to make a substantial gift either to the
family as a whole or some individual
member, Of giving an automobile.
A motor car is a gift that will be ap-
preciated by anyone and is something
that will afford pleasure not only to the
recipient but to his or her friends as
we'll II the gift is made to the family
the enjoyment will be greater, for all
then will feel that they have a share in
It. Every time that the car Is used the
donor will be remembered for his or her
kindness and thoughtfulness in making
the selection of something so substantial
and useful as a present
Automobiles today range in price so
that they come within the reach Of most
every ones pocketbook. They can be
bought from $3.50 up to any amount that
one cares to invest
For those who are thinking about the
motor car as an investment it is advis-
able that II they have not already done
so, they begin to look about for their
choice of a car now. While the winter
months have been considered slow
months in the motor car world there are
not so any more. Selling automobiles Is
a twelve months business. Dealers
right now are short on deliveries. Many
of them are booked far in advance. To
be sure Of having the car driven to the
front door of the recipient OF one as a
Christmas present 1t would be we'll to
place the order as soon as possible. 1t
is not necessary to pay the entire pur-
chase price now. Simply sign the order,
put up a deposit, and pay the balance
when the car is delivered, or in this case,
the day before, If it is to be delivered
early Christmas morning.
