Because n Jeffery quad proved It's

roads leading into a trace of timber
near Erie, Pa, after teams and rear

CONVERTIBLE BODIES
GAIN IN POPULARITY
Changeable Overlands Come in
Handy During These Days of
Changeable Weather.

Unusual activity in the convertible
body types reported by Ed Worthing-
ton. local WHY'S Overland dealer. The
first hint of spring, he declares, has
brought forth many inquiries concern
Ing the new types of WHY'S Overland
closed cars
The WHY'S Overland company, in
its 1917 comprehensive line of motor
cars, includes this new popular type
in four models. the Overland big four
and light six five passenger sedan and
the big four and light six three passen-
ger coupe. In addition ii also offers
sedan and coupe on the WHY'S
Knight four chassis. All of these are
equipped with convertible bodies
which can be quickly transformed
from luxurious closed cars to airy,
open touring cars, with a permanent
roof.
"The first signs Of spring make the
average motorist eager to get out in
the country says Worthington. mo
torists are planning at this time of the
year on short trips into the country
weekend jaunts and more extensive
tours
But heretofore there has been one
great disadvantage in spring driving
That has been the uncertainty of the
weather A beautiful forenoon might
develop into a nasty, disagreeable
afternoon.
Here's where the convertible car
shows to advantage.
I'VE will assume the forenoon is
delightful-warm and sunny. The
tourists lower the side windows and
make the jaunt into the country in
an open touring car.
Suddenly shower comes up. Up
go the windows in a trice, and at their
disposal is a snug and dry closed car
No hurry. no confusion, no flapping
curtains to snap into place.
Then the clouds break away. the
windows are lowered once more; the
automobile again becomes an open
touring car.
Now you can readily see why our
closed car models are exceedingly
popular at this season Of the year"

PLACE ORDERS EARLY
FOR 0VERLANDS, IS
ADVICE OF WILCOX

Every magazine of national circu-
lation as we'll as newspapers and
other periodicals carry Overland ad-
vertising. The Overland car, which
is sold in this territory by John
Wilcox, who maintains offices in the
Troppman building, is without ques-
ton the most widely advertised car
sold.
It is this advertising that creates
the big demand for this family car.
The Overland people make numerous
styles and a wide range price car,
enabling them to give Overland quail
ity in practically any size car, rang
ing from a roadster to large seven
passenger car.
According to Mr.. Wilcox, the pros
poets for the coming season far ex-
coed the allotment of cars for this
territory, but says that if orders are
piaced early, he is of the opinion
that his allotment may be increased.
The Overland will be at the Mime
apolis show and those wishing to see
a modern car at modern price will
find it in the Overland display.

EXCELLENCE OF REQ
RECOGNIZED; BATTLES
FILLS MANY ORDERS

When the demand for the REQ car
in this section became so evident that
men were anxious to buy the car
through agencies in other cities, c.
E. Battles was finally persuaded to
stock the REQ car.
His first season proved entirely
satisfactory and the car is giving
satisfaction to it's owners. Some of
Bemidji's most prominent men drive
the REQ car and like it.
The New REQ the Fifth is still
listed to sell for SS75, but orders
are taken only on condition that
price change may be made without
notice. Like in many other instan-
ces this season it will be more of a
case to get the car than the order.
If the REQ sells for 1915, it is, ac-
cording to the agency here, the big
best value on the market this season.

include orders for immediate ship
ment for their local retail sales.
Mr.. Jewett has been president Of
the Minnesota Retail Automobile
Dealers association for the past three
years, which is affiliated with the
Retail Automobile Dealers Associa-
ton of the United States, a fast
growing trade organization. That
he never forgets Bemidji was shown
when he named his Ford Special
racing car "Bigmidj' and in the
presence of $4,000 people at the
Twin City Speedway last Memorial
day, sprung the biggest surprise Of
the race meet by defeating cars, some
of which were twice and three times
the horsepower of the little Big
midi" His car qualified at better
than 80 miles per hour.

"WENT UP into HEAVEN
ON HIGH;;" IN FORD?

Here is new Ford story we saw
somewhere, but have forgotten just
where. A man in California writes
to the Ford company and tells them
they should feel very much exalted
for the reason that the Ford is the
only car mentioned in the Bible and
to prove it cites them message IN
Isaiah which says: "He went up into
Heaven on high" and asks what other
car but a Ford could do that?

Section of Country; Ed. French
Named It od-Help-Us."
DRIVEN THROUGH FORESTS
AND OVER CORDUROY ROADS
REQUIRED Twenty-Five Hours to Make
Trip of 80 Miles; Takes One
and One-half Hours Now.

C. w. Jewett, or "Chai' !ewett,
as he is better known to the earlier
residents of Beltrami county, and
who is president of the c. w. Jew
EFT Co., Inc, automobile distributors,
has been identified a long time with
the automobile industry.
Before he was FL years Of age and
while connected with and studying
under John C. Whistler, consulting
engineer of Chicago. he had the dis
tinction of being present with Mr..
Whistler, when Whistler and three
other consulting engineers were call
ed in by a party of capitalists to give
their opinion and pass on the practic-
ability of one of Chicago's first auto
mobiles. That was in the year of
1896.
Later, while located at Seattle,
WASH, and following his profession
of electrical and mechanical engi-
neering, he rendered service to the
automobile owners of Seattle, said
owners consisting of two men having
the only automobile in Seattle at
that time. These machines were
Locomobile Steamers, car that is
obsolete now.
Later, he returned to Minneapolis
where he lived when boy and then,
as he puts it, "Come to the greatest
country on earth, Northern Mime
sota," following the business of con-
,struction and operation of electric
light plants, telephone systems and
things mechanical, finally locating
at Blackjack.
He brought the first automobile
into Northern Minnesota and Bel
trami county in 1905, which was
one-cylinder affair of 6 horsepower,
and Ed. French, who lived at Black
duck at that time, named it the"God
Help U.s." There was road from
Blackjack to Blackjack lake, one
and one-half miles long. Sometimes
it was passable for even the God
Help U.s." Then in 1907 he pur-
chased a real automobile which was
Model N. Ford roadster. This car
was driven from Minneapolis to Be-
midi, taking better than half day
getting from Park Rapids to Bemidji
and leaving Bemidji with man to
help him, at $50 o'clock in the
morning. They wound their way
through the woods. In some places
it was necessary to corduroy to get
over and arrived in Blackjack at
4:3O O'Clock the next morning, max
ing the trip in twenty-five hours,
distance of thirty-two miles. The
same trip can now be made in one
hour and a half.
This trip with the Model N. Ford
put Ford enthusiasm into Jewett and
he still has the same brand OF en-
thusiasm, which has built up the
Ford business his company is now
carrying on and given Bemidji and
Beltrami county a Ford distributing
point with five adjacent counties to
it.
Jewett and his organization are
tireless workers and their business
has grown by leaps and bounds. An
example of this is shown by bona
fide orders with shipping instruc-
lions which were placed with the
Ford branch at Duluth in the month
of January for one hundred and five
cars to be shipped into their whole
sale territory for the months of Jan
uary and February. This did not
