ties now provided in his service sta
ton for having them applied scienti-
fically and correctly.
ITO keep pace with local demand
for dependable SERVICE" continues Mr..
Bailey, I'VE have installed a new 150-
ton hydraulic forcing press in our
service station. We are aiming to
develop our service facilities to a
point that is on a par with those in
Goodrich branches in Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and New York. We be-
heve Harrisburg operators will ap-
preciate getting the first class, rapid
tire application service we are now in
a position to offer.
By means of the new press and ac-
cessory equipment in his plant, Mr.
Bailey gives assurance that the old
problem of trucks forced to n lay-up
for part or all of a busy work day
Will be solved. An appointment made
by telephone in advance will over
come the old possibilities of having to
lose q half day or more of profitab BILE
truck operating time.
The Eureka Wagon Works is an old
established concern and the additional
facilities in the hands of men with
years of experience in the vehicle busi-
ness makes this establishment the
equal of service stations for trucks in
the larger cities.
In line with Mr.. Bailey's usual
progressiveness he aims to keep his
establishment abreast with the trend
of the times in the vehicle world.

POWERFUL PRESS
FOR TRUCK TIRES
A. H. Bailey's Service Station
Adds New Equipment For
Applying Tires

Since experienced truck users,
operating in Harrisburg and other
American cities have recognized the
decided advantages in specifying
tires pressed direct to the steel band
of the truck Wheel" says \. II. Bailey
proprietor of the Eureka Wagon
Works, 614-61S North street, the
necessity for adequate facilities to
perform this application work has be-
come more urgent"
Mr.. Bailey is special distributor for
Goodrich Truck Tires in Harrisburg
and vicinity. He has spared no eff
fort in his plans to demonstrate what
real truck tire service can mean to
local operators primarily interested in
getting as near full-time work out of
their trucks as possible. Mr.. Bailey
is convinced that any operator, what
ever the make or size of trucks he
uses, can be assured of the best tire
proposition in America if he equips
with Goodrich De Luxe tires and then
takes advantage of the modern facili-

Cadillac to Build Huge
New Plant in Detroit

Announcement has just been made
by the Cadillac Motor Car Company
that it has acquired in Detroit nearly
SO acres of land, whereon it will erect
large plant TO house all of it's manu-
featuring activities. While the pres
ent Cadillac factory is recognized
throughout the automobile industry
as being the finest equipped motor
car plant in the world, the company's
business has outgrown present facili-
ties. 1t is also desirable to concen-
trate all operations of production in
one plant.
The site of the proposed new plant,
on which it is expected building opera
tions will begin next year, is regarded
as one of the most advantageously
situated in Detroit. Its western boun-
dairy is the junction of the Michigan
Central Railroads main line with the
Lake Shore division of the New" York
Central The former is the southern
boundary of the property, with the
latter as the northern boundary, with
the tracks of the Grand Trunk a few
feet beyond. The Wabash and the
Pere Marquette are only a short dis
tance to the west, which assures close
proximity to the Pennsylvania also
when that road enters Detroit over
the Pere Marquette lines. In the mat
ter of shipping facilities, the site is
said to be without equal in Detroit.
The land is said to have cost ap-
proximately S750,000. The plant, not
including equipment, will, it is esti-
mated, represent an investment in the
neighborhood of S2,000,00O. 1t will
probably give employment to 10000
to 10000 persons.
The main advantage to the Cadillac
Motor Car Company will be the ac-
QUESTION of facilities adequate to
handle its growing business, and the
grouping of its various departments
in one great plant. At present its main
plant is at some distance from its
foundries, its sheet metal divisions,
and its body building plant. Since the
Cadillac Company produces nearly all
parts of its cars, and builds. finishes
and trims the bodies, etc, the CEN
tralization of its operations will tend
to increase the efficiency of an institu-
ton already recognized for high
efficiency.

Squire Evans makes his home at ROosevel Arizona, but he has spent the summer in Los Angeles. In 1899 he was named the father of Santa Cruz county, which title he will carry as long as he resides in Arizona.

He will win again this year; they can not beat him" :" MT. Evans is at the Kersting. He will remain a few days at least before returning to his home.

SIXTY FOURTH.
Congress Adds to Record of Achieve
 ment.

In the first session of the Six ty- fourth Congress, which ad- journed September 9, important additions were made to the story of deeds accomplished under Woodrow Wilson. Their recital contrasts vividly with the mere words of Candidate Hughes. Here is the record, in brief:
 Tariff Commission esta blished, | thereby taking the tariff out of politics in so far as it is possible in the United States.
 A d q u a e preparedness against foreign aggression pro- vided by appropriations for ex- pansion of the army and navy amounting to $635, 100000.
 Genef'h hl railway strike. which would have paralyzed the pros perity of the country, avoided by the passage of the Adamson eight hour law
 Rural icredits banking system esta blished by the passage of the Federal Farm Loan Act, which assures adequate capital at fair Interest rates for the de- velOpment of American agricul- tural resources.
 Federal Reserve act amended to permit national banks to join together in esta blishing foreign branches.
 Good roads enacted that makes available $75, 100000 for the de- velopment of highways through out the country, under safe guards which prevent wasteful use of the money.
 Ship Purchase act passed for the encouragement and develop ment ofsthe American merchant marine.
 Child Labor Law put through which emancipates children from industrial oppression.
 Resolutions for the surrender of American rights at sea over whelmingly. defeated.
 Income tax increased; inherit ance tax provided and tax on the net profits of manufacturers of munitions of war established, to pay the cost of preparedness.
 WOrksmen'S compensation law applying to government em- ployes enacted.
 Grain grades and warehouse laws passed for the assistance of agriculture.
 These were but some of the principal new deeds of the con gress under President Wilson. They are added to the important work done in the first two years of the Wilson administration by the Sixty third congress. For the full story see "The Record of Achievement" in the Demo CT.

1916 STATE FAIR GROUNDS I'M
 PROVEMENTS.

People attending the State Fair this fall will be agreeab1y surprised at the numerous changes that have taken place upon the Fair Grounds. For several months past landscape gardeners have been busy beau tifying the grounds. Several hundred umbrella trees and palms have been placed along the drives and walks, and rose bushes and chrysan themums have been planted at every ad- vantageous point. Vines have been set out around the build ings and are being trained so that by fair week the exhibit buildings and adjoining fences will be mass of foliage.
 The live stock sheds, which heretofore have extended from the main entrance to a point op posite the grandStand, and which have always been an eye sore on the grounds, are being re- moved to a position on the north end of the grounds, where they will be conveniently arranged and where an excellent judging ring will be erected for the pur- pose of judging the live stock.
