First "Scoop" Not So Much,

The first big "scopp' in American
journalism was pulled off, by the
Newsletter in June, 1904, when re.
porter was sent to write ''story" GOV.
ering the execution Of six pirates on
the Charles river. This pioneer repor.
ter turned In an excellent story, and II
filled nearly half of one issue of the
paper. The feature of the article, how.
ever, was the prayer uttered by min.
lister on the scaffold, which was repro
duced "as near as could be taken in
writing in the great crewd."--Fresno

A sort Of irony attached itself to the
work Of Earle Williams In q serial
story Of automobile adventure and
thrills. In the various scenes he was
supposed to undergo many terrifying
ordeals with his car But he soon sus-
pected that jinx Of Ill luck pursued
him. In his leisure moments when no
was trying to enjoy his own car some
thing was always happening to dis
count the movie mishaps. He lost
tires, ran into telegraph poles, bowled
into near collisions and several times
was hurt. The climax, as far as ap-
prehension is involved, came on q
bright day when he was taking his
father and mother and friend for a
pleasure jaunt near West Point, n. Y.
and on steep grade his car slipped
and was only checked from going over
a high embankment by tree stump a
few feet Off the road. Strangely
enough, his perils Off stage ceased as
soon as the pseudo perils before the
camera were finished.

Other Stores Established

The Babbitts when tha time came to spread out established a store at Wins low under the trade name of Babbitt Brothers company, and the next ex- pansion came when the Babbitts en- tered Williams, under the trade name of Babbitt- Poison company. At these places the same lines of goods were handled, and the stores were similar, to the Flagstaff establishment, except that there were no packing houses or slaughter houses.
 When the evolution to the automo- bile came the stores at Williams and Winslow handled the Chevrolet, the Ford and the Hudson cars, later taking the agencies for the Maxwell and the Buick.
 The business kept on growing and the Rabbits of Flagstaff. Winslow and Williams became the Rabbits of Ash Fork. At Ash Fork the business was opened under the trade name of Bab- bitt Poison company. Here automo- piles were also handled along with the usual lines of merchandise.
 Babbitts Enter Phoenix
 But the most remarkable expansion was when the Rabbits entered Phoe- nix This was about three years ago This expansion was for the sale of au- tomobiles exclusively. and was very small in the beginning. The Rabbits did not know how Phoenix would take to them, but they were willing to take a chance. The Rabbits were knowr as the big men of the north, but te that time had never ventured dowr south or to central Arizona, as some people call this region.
 When Babbitt- Poison company en tered Phoenix it was as the agent fol one car only-the Chevrolet. They hat storage quarters for their cars in tn, International garage, at first. Thel they moved into small sales room ol First street The company did wei from the start and soon added tn Buick car to their stock in trade.

PACKING HOUSE FUR
 ARIZONA $ PRODUCTS

A large two-story stone packing house is situated on the Rabbit block in Flagstaff and is an import ant part of the big establishment. It is, to be accurate, packing house and sausage factory. Here, each month 10000 pounds of sausage, well known for it's excellence, is manu- factured; 5000 pounds of ham and 1000 pounds of bacon are smoked and 10000 pounds of Rabbits Silver Pine Lard are made and packed
 The most modern machinery and methods of sanitation are employed. The slaughter house, in connection with the packing plant Is situated at the edge of town, and previous to killing, all beef, hogs, mutton and veal are rigidly inspected by skilled men employed for the purpose.
 In addition to the home cured hams and bacon handled each month by the wholesale and retail departments of Babbitt Brothers, carload of salt nd smoked meat from the east is used.

ing a thriving business among the h. dians.
 In all there are now twelve Rabbit stores in the north, situated at Flag staff, Williams, Ash Fork, Kingman, Holbrook, Winslow, Oatman. Tuba City, Red Lake, Canon Diablo, Yucca and Cibicue.
 Cattle Business Grows
 While all this growth in merchan- disc, including automobiles. was in progress, the Babbitts were active in other lines. They had always kept in the lead as cattlemen, so it was but natural that in all these years their cattle interests should become large and far reaching.
 During this growth the Babbitts looked to the south for place to feed and fatten cattle from the ranges of the north. They had been put to large expense in the past in paying for such fattening and in consequence as a mat ter of good business they decided to do it themselves, or as much Of it as was practical
 At Cashion, near Phoenix, in the Salt River valley, they found a desir- able place for their cattle to live in winter and grow fat. The Cashion , ranch now has an irrigated area of ! about 600 acres of the best land in the Salt River valley.
 | Closely allied with the cattle busi- ness the Babbitt brothers conduct an extensive trade in meat. This meat is shipped pretty much over the northern part of the state, from Flagstaff, as far west as kingman and as far east | as Holbrook.
 Do Wholesale Business Wholesaling is one of the Babbit- lines. although retailing has been theil speciality. The wholesale business ha. been mostly in dry goods, handled iron the Flagstaff store, extending over tn, north and into the Salt River valley.
 But to return to the automobil, again. The most pronounced develop ment of the Babbitt business has been during the past few years, in moto } cars. After the Babbitts had got foothold inPhoenix, 1t was but anothe , step to establish an automobile busi , ness in Texas, and out of these ha grown number of agencies. The, handle so many different lines of car that to go into detail would requir almost the writing of book But t mention one line, by way of illustra

CAR {
 STANDS FUR QUALITY

The Pierce Arrow car-itS worth IS the sum all of the desirable qualities multiplied by the years over which 1t continues to give the full quota Of these qualities. It is in this way that the manufacturers present the Pierce Arrow Series Four in one of their at- tractive announcements.
 The Babbitt- Poison company. which sells the Pierce-Arrow in this terri tory, tells the public that it has line of cars suited to any class of buyers, from the person of modest purse to the capitalist. It places the Pierce-Arrow car high on it's list. It is the big mans car. It is this because of its many rich qualities, qualities which the man. ufacturers refer to as tits worth The finest thing in human endeavor Is that one touch of inspiration which makes work stand out. Among a thousand books, one will live. Among a thousand houses one has distinction. Among a thousand horses one is . thoroughbred.
 A crowd of men pass down the street. The eye picks one who carries himself like a king should, erect, easy, un- conscious, power written in every line. A dozen actors appear on the stage. The most of them rattle around in their parts. Now and then one adds to his impersonation, personality. Everything has character-ships, shops, shoes, clothes, jewelry, gardens all the things made that must com bine utility with beauty. but which so often lack the supreme touch, distinc- ton.
 Wherever the motor traffic thickens, on the crowded avenues, the roads that lead to the best places, the country clubs or the theaters, the Pierce-Ar- row car is there among them like the white plume of Navarro. The place of the Pierce-Arrow is fixed in the pub lie mind
 To everyone. whether he owns mo- tor car or not. consciously or uncon- sciously, the Pierce-Arrow has become a standard. It is the goal of some; the envy of others. The reason is, the PierceArrow is a piece of art, as well as a fine piece of mechanism.
 It was built to meet an ideal. the manufacturers explain. No work is accomplished without an ideal. An ideal steadily maintained must result in greater success than a policy of ex- pediency or opportunism. The man. ufacturers state their ideal this way:
 To build the best car that can De built, without respect to price, and then to place the price upon the car that has been built.
 Upon the interpretation of the word "best' it all depends. The perfect mo- tor ca ris a perfect balance, not a one sided hobby. So many attributes mus
 be considered that to place emphasi.
 on any one, such as dependability longevity, beauty, grace, comfort is tt
 dlstor the picture.
 The series of Pierce-Arrow cars technically known as Series Four. S, nearly represents the ideal of the com pany that the manufacturers say w, rest; let the owners of the cars de eide"
 Poor Richard says: "At a grea Greats worth, pause a while' The makers of the Series Four say Tt is a great groats worth.'

Fl Paso, with numerous sub-agencies.
 This opportunity to go Into the auto mobile business is one that only a few of the implement and carriage dealers grasped. Like any radical change old dealers were blind to the new order of things. They either did not consider the automobile permanent or felt it would never become formidable com petitor of the horse-driven vehicle. When they finally saw their mistake it was too late to get into the automobile business or they were n1t financially able to do so.

 The introduction of the automobile in the north was largely in the hands of Babbitt Brothers. There were a few sold at first, then as people became better acquainted with them the few grew to many, until today as many are sold as the factory ccn supply.
 As the automobile business grew Babbitt Brothers added other makes. They are now selling at the Flagstaff establishment the Ford. the Buick. the Dodge, the Hupmobile and the Jordan, and several lines of trucks and trailers.

company in Phoenix has surpassed the most remote expectations of the man. agement, but it is right in line with the growth of Babbitt Brothers that started that little store at Flagstaff and then made it grow and spread out.
 The Babbitt- Poison company did not remain long in the First street estab- lishment, before removing to North Central avenue and taking on a num- Der of the best lines of automobiles. The Babbitt-Polson company has four stores now in Phoenix ana have pur- chased the block containing the old Central school house, upon which a large building. to house it's business, is contemplated.
 The Babbitts in Phoenix are now handling the Jordan car, the Pierce Arrow, Stutz, Chandler, Buick, Max well, Hupmobile. Marmon, as well as G. M. c. trucks, Pierce Arrow trucks and Maxwell trucks, Troy trailers and Cleveland tractors. But there ! is so much that can be said about 1 the Babbitt-Polson company in Phoe- nix that it will take several special stories. This concerns mainly the Bab- bitt brothers and their general interests in the state. Expansion Elsewhere
 Several years ago Babbitt brothers looking for further outlet for their ra- pidly accommodating earnings. and to further expand the business centering in Flagstaff, opened wholesale estab- lsnment at Holbrook for the purpose of supplying large, and rapidly grow ing country. This proved to be 8 profitable field from the start. When the automobile came along they added cars to their stock and this line has been well patronized by the people in and about Holbrook
 A year ago last March the Rabbits expanded again. opening to them ar entirely new field in the northwestern part of the state. At that time they bought the Arizona Stores company interests at Yucca, kingman, and Oat- l man, and are now conducting the busi. ness under the same trade name of the Arizona Stores company. At Yucca and Oatman the business is purel, mercantile. while at Kingman automo. piles are sold in addition. Among the cars handled are the Buick, the Over. land. the Haynes and the Dodge.
 The Babbitts saw an opportunity some years ago of selling merchandise to the lnJans. On the great Navajo Indian reservation of the north ther, are thousands of native Americans ant ill order to supply them the Babbitt. opened a number of stores on tn, reservation. This number has grow1

sold it, without unnecessary delay. When a new farming implement was introduced, they did not wait for the other fellow to try it out first; they got it, and tried it out themselves. It was the same way with the automobile and later with the tractor and motor driven truck.
 First Automobiles
 It was about 1912 that Rabbit Brothers at Flagstaff first began to sell automobiles. The first handled were the Overlands, followed closely by
