WlLLYS-KNIGHT TAxIS
GET QUICK RECOGNITION
Companies In New York and Chicago
Have Adopted Car Because
of Engine.

Altho it has been but a compare
lively short time since WHY'S over
land, inc, of Toledo began concen-
trating some of the efforts of the
great institution toward building Will
lys-knight taxicabs, on a rather eX-
tensive scale, this vehicle already
ranks among the leaders in the livery
line of motor cars.
Practically instantaneous recogni-
ton OF the merits of the product were
achieved in New York city and Chi
cago-the two great metropolitan CEN
ters that to a large degree set the
pace in the adoption of improved
types OF transportation vehicles Other
cities have followed suit as fast Is the
factory could keep up with the orders,
without ondangering its passenger car
and commercial vehicle output.
The quickly achieved popularity OF
the WHY'S Knight taxicab is accredited
to the Knight motor and to the re-
flnements and improvements In its
body construction. The Knight motor
speaks for itself, From the standpoint
Of the tuXicab owner, its ever wearing
advantages and operating economy are
facts that cannot be disputed. In
densely crowded traffic, with service
compulsory under all climatic condi-
tions and over all kinds of streets
and roads the taxicab motor must be
subjected to the most cruel sort Of
tests. In competitive tests of this de-
scription the Knight type OF motor
has not been surpassed. Its quiet rum
ming features also give it an added at
traction from the viewpoint OF the
taxicab passengers.
With abundant room for five pas
sengers-three on the rear seat and
two on the folding auxiliary seats,
there is no such thing as scarcity Of
leg room. The softly upholstered
auxiliary seats are attached to the par
tition between the front seat and the
rear compartment by means OF sliding
bars and channels.

content TO exploit the tractor only"
said Mr.. Howard. Farm implement
dealers in Oklahoma City have con
ceived the idea Of extending the plan
so as to include In display everything
that can be hitched on to n tractor,
pushed by 1t, or operated by power
developed with tractor. We believe
that the farmer will be interested In
knowing how many things can be
done with power applied to farm
work For that reason the coming
show will seek to exhaust the suDJecL
both by demonstration and other
methods.

Fifty Percent Increase Went into Effect

Company Claims Present Conditions
Make Advance Necessary

The Shore Line Electric Company
posted notices Wednesday of an in
crease in the passenger traffic rate to
become effective Thursday. The new
rate is an increase of 80 percent over
the former rate, the company claiming
that the advance is necessary on &C.
count of prevailing high prices in la
Dor and commodities.
The advance amounts to one cent
per zone. For instance: The fare from
Putnam To Mechanicsville, heretofore
D cents, will hereafter be cents; from
Putnam TO Danielson, heretofore Is
cents, will now be - cents; to the Put
nam Country Club, formerly 6 cents,
will be 8 cents.
Instead of cents zone, cents will
hereafter be the charge. The advance
not having become generally known

Putnam Chamber of Commerce and
other similar bodies, whose towns or
cities are affected by the increase, will
make careful Investigations and Will
take whatever action, If any, is deem
ed advisable in protecting the interests
of the travelling public.
