AGO Sold in 1915.

The year 1915 saw the purchase of tho
property on High street from their pres
ent location to the corner of Chemcketa
on High, and 165 feet on Chemeketa.
Fords were selling at the rate of 400
for the year 1915, with 60 StudebakeTs
to fill out the year business.
A business of II Ford cars sold in 1911
to a prospective sales of more than 600
for the year 1916 tells the story of the
rise of the firm of Wick Bros, within
the last five years. And in addition to
the orders already in for the $50 Fords.
the firm has placed an advance order
for 60 Studebakers.
During the winter months, the firm
has a payroll of 25 men, and almost
double that number in the summer sea-
son. Besides the Wick brothers who are
active in the salesmanship, the firm is
represented by Z. G. Simmons, ]. B.
Knight and Ebert Thompson.
A Splendid Garage.
Installed in the garage department
are six self measuring Bowser lubricat-
ing oil tanks; and $4,000 stock of tires
for the Fords and Studebakers. The
lower floor of the garage has floor
space for so ears and this space is fully
occupied at all times. The second floor
is devoted to assembling the new Ford
cars and for the new paint shop, with
bake ovens recently installed for drying
and hardening enamels and varnishes,
thus saving much time in the work.
The repair shop in the rear, on Church
street. is lighted by large sky.lights. In
this repairing department are two COM
plete acetylene welding outfits by

will sell, delivered in Salem, for $493.25
and touring car for just $50 less.

Misner's Garage Has More Floor
Space Than Any in the Northwest

A big crowd Of enthusiastic Califor.
mans saw A. A. A, Representative Earl
Cooper send the car away on its long
grind. The conditions called for con-
stant running Of the motor, whether the
car was in progress or standing still.
The first 5000 miles were covered
without break in the consistent run
ming. Experienced motorists then be-
gan to believe success possible. During
the period between 5000 and 10000
miles, two severe storms were encount-
cred, in one Of which the car was forced
to ford streams in the main highways
to get back to Los Angeles from a sub
urban trip.
Los Angeles Excited.
On Friday morning, December II, the
car passed the old record and there was
great rejoicing. Rumors were rife of a
similar attempt by q competing dealer
and this caused the run to be con.
tinued.
During its long run, the car has be-
come n well known feature Of Los An.
Ieles and its suburbs. Otter its day 5
work includes an etended tour to some
other Southern California city.
Motorists generally credit the nom
stop as the severest possible test of q
car. General knowledge that moment Is
stop for repair or adjustment will end
the run has made the Navel IS perform
ance so interesting TO the public that
the 3 daily progress is a source Of
conversation and frequent wagers.

HalverSen & Burns Handle
MaxweIls and OldsmobiIes

Maxwell cars are for sale in Salem
by Halyersen & Burns at their gar
age corner of Ferry and High streets.
If they were engaged in any other
business their names would have been
used to start this article, rather than
that of the auto they handle; but you
sea when fellow or firm once gets
this auto habit he insists on putting
the car ahead of himself. In this case
the car being a Maxwell, they are ex'
cusable for. their pride in it. They
also handle the Oljsmobile, and like a
young fellow in love vita two girls at
once, could be happy with either with
tother dear charmer away"
The firm carries extra parts, tires
and everything pertaining to the ma.
chimes they handle, and either of
them or any of their employees will get
up in the night to demonstrate beyond
a shadow of a doubt that the Max
we'll leads every other make Of ma
chine having but one rival the
Oldsmobile.
Mr.. Halversen not long ago handl.
Ell these machines in Silverton, and
with Mr.. Burns bought out Rees &
Elgin three months ago.

They are highly satisfied with their
business, saying the sale Of Maxwells
holds out well, and that they have sew
cra sales awaiting movement in the
hop market. They think and say they
have the very best and most servic'
able ears made; that old autoists know
this, and are showing it by the way
in which thev choose the Maxwell or
oldsmobile when investing in new
cars.
From sales highly probable, and the
daily inquiry after cars, prices de-.
scriptivo matter, ETC., both members
of the .irm are strong in their belief
that with the opening Of spring sales
will be good, and not only their sales
but business generally they think will
boom. They are sure good boosters for
Salem as well as autos, and if every
body was equally enthusiastic Salem
would be in the middle Of n boom now.
If you want to invest in car, take
a look at the Maxwell and 0ldsmobile.
1t will probably save you the time 1t
would take to look at other makes for
to see is to admire, and to desire is
to own. Try it and see. Corner Fer.

Wick Bros. Sell Fords---
Tin 1911, 66O in 1916

From sales of II Ford automobiles
for the first year they were in business,
to an advance order of GEO Ford s for
the year 1916, is the record of the auto
mobile business of Wick Bros, who
came from Falls City in the spring of
1911 and opened up a little garage at
173 South Liberty street.
Ford cars were selling for 1915 in the
spring of 1911 when Wick Bros, opened
up, and their sales of II cars that year
was evidence that just five years ago
Ford cars were not so popular as at pres
ent.
Business picked up little in 1912, as
Ford sales were 25 for that year. The
firm had moved to Chemeketa street.
Fords were selling for $500 that year
and only 25 men were willing to take a
chance, and this was only four years
ago
Business Picks Up.
With the reduced price of the car to
$625, the business for 1913 took q more
cheerful aspect for Wick Bros, when
they purchased 5O-foot property on
High street, extending back 1855 feet to
the alley, it was regarded by many con-
servative men as taking big chance.
But the popular price and the service
given by the car was bringing it to pub
lie notice, and the year 1913 saw the
sale Of 1876 cars. Business was picking
up for Wick Bros. Although their build
ing 90 by 165 feet with two floors
looked very much as venture early
in 1913, by the following spring this
space was found entirely inadequate for
the growing business. The spring Of
1914 saw the firm building two story
addition across the alley adjoining their
High street location. This addition was
so feet in width and two stories, in
brick to correspond with the other
building. This was in the spring of 1914
when the Studebaker agency was taken.
The year 1914 put another notch in the
prosperity of the firm, as 300 Fords
were distributed to customers in Salem
and vicinity and so Studebakers. Fords
were selling for $3.50 this year, and the
public was becoming educated to the
fact that serviceable car could be
sold at this price on the Pacific coast.

" The schools Of Marion county have
shown much improvement during the
past year. Many new buildings have
been erected and many of the old
buildings have been remodeled and i'm
proved in various ways. The sanitary
conditions, especially, have received
much attention. The schools have u
better water supply than ever before;
floors have been oiled; new heating and
ventilating plants have been placed in
many of the schools. The statistical
report shows n steady increase in the
enrolment and numberof teachers EN-.
ployed. The enrolment in the high
school has increased nearly one half
in the past four years. The close Of
this year will show much larger in
crease rs the result Of the County Tui.
tion Fund which provides free tuition
to high school pupils in the rural dis.
tricts."
The annual census reports from the
one hundred twenty-five school dis
tricts of Marion county show q sub
stantial increase in school population

lar. This year has seen the erection
Of new school buildings in Silverton,
Stayton, Hubbard and Salem. Wood
burn has selected the site and voted
the bonds for new 100000 high school

Much Of the improvement in the
schools is due to the plan Of stand

ENDURANCE TITLE
GOES TO MAXWELL CAR
Touring Car Gives Wonderful Exhibition
Of Speed and Stamina,-10,000
IN 20 Days.

Los Angeles Cal, Jan. Under Of
ficial observation by the American Au.
tomobie association and as part Of a
motor nonstop run still in progress, a
stock Maxwell touring car has already
established the following road rec.
ords:
5000 miles in 10 days.
10000 miles in 20 days.
12,405 miles in 25 days.
Official reports will show all three Of
these records slightly better than the
above close approximation. II the car
10 continued on the road until January
/, as Is possible, II will probably end
its run with q total Of about 10000
miles in 40 days.
vouchcd for by A. A. A.
There can be no questioning the au
thenticity Of the records. The car
was rigidly examined and passed al
stock, before the run began, November
90. An A. A. A. observer has been
with II every moment since. The mile
age has been taken by two specdom'
eters.
To n great event, tho sensational
speed feature was q surprise, even Ia
tho Lord Motor company, Southern
California Maxwell distributors, who
conducted tho run. Tho car which, more
than three years ago, set the motor non
stop figures at l2,404.9 miles, averaged
around 400 miles daily. This was the
schedule mapped out first for the Max
well but II was found, during tho first
day Of the run, that much better speed
was possible without In the least in
creasing the task Of the motor. Az Q
result a schedule Of 800 miles daily wai
established nnd eighty exceeded.
