HISTORY OF ADVERTISING.


Hardly thirty-five years ago. news
paper advertisements were so com
monplace. so lacking In interest-com-
Polling features that today they would
scarcely attract attention. Certainly
they would sell very little merchan-
disc.
They were set In uniform sizes Of
type-nO display lines to catch the
readers eye. They were not illustrat-
ed and contained no interesting news
feature. as do the really good modern
advertisements.
But In 1880 the first great advance
was made by an Eastern store which
has grown to be one of the greatest
In America.
At first the advertisements were
small. but, as they developed the busi-
ness, larger space was used. Gradu-
ally the full column was reached.
Then the double-column. and. finally,
the entire page was required for the
daily advertisements of single store.
Today advertising can be known

ago 1t was purely q matter Of guess

BUYING WRECKED AUTOS

Ovcrhaulcd and Repaired Engines

"Did you ever wonder what becomes
of all the old and wornout automo-
biles?" asks a writer in the current
issue of American Motorist.
"Quite recently / had occasion to
look into the matter" the writer con-
tinues, "and 1 was surprised at some

tered to the four winds of heaven, so
to speak, and put to unguessed uses.
"Of course, the price paid for these
autos varies considera bly-from $3.50
for a so-called collision car to $65 up
to $125 for fire ruins and WORKOUTS.
Engines are the principal source OF

New Model Overland Sedan.

There will be more people riding in
closed cars this year than ever before.
A fresh impetus to the closed car bust
ness is the announcement just made
by Kistler a Sinclair, local WHY'S
Overland dealers, of the announcement
of a new convertible five-passenger
sedan on the model 30 light four
chasis. Here Is a car that Is fashion,
able and modish and also practical and
economical thruout. This new Over
land Sedan has the lines and the
luxurious appearance that enable II
to take its place with closed cars OF
much higher cost.
ITO call this Overland Light Four
Sedan a closed car would but half
describe It," says Mr.. Sinclair. "In a
trice 1t can be made an open tour
ing car. It combines the protection of
the closed car and the freedom Of the
open car. II gives you year-round
adaptabillty coupled with the economy
and ease Of operation that character
ize the Overland Light Four chassis.
Big tires and deep, well-shaped up
holstery are partly responsible for
this. but the big reason lies in the
cantilever rear springs No other type
absorhs the road shocks so completely
or eases you over rough roads so
smoothly"

Record for Goodrich Tires.

A mileage record that emphasizes
graphically the possibilities that are
beckoning motorists in the use OF cord
tires. comes from James Horne, man
ager of one of the big film producing
companies at Los Angeles, Cal. Mr..
Horne was found not long ago with
his Cole Eight hitched to big freight
car which he desired to shift to an
other position for a movie scene. Upon
being admonished that such use would
tear the treads off his tires. he re-
marked that his car played the role
Of switch engine many times. A few
days later when he put on new Good
year cord tire to replace one that came
with the car when 1t was new, the
speedometer read 34,599 miles. The
tire had been off the car only one day
for a puncture repair. The tire was
placed on exhibition In downtown
window for several days and was seen
by thousands of motorists.
