King Stands Among
Pioneers of Motor Cars

The first King" proved its ability
to run in 1894. The first time 1t
appeared a crowd of "kidders" stood
around ready to give the inventor the
laugh and spring that first auto
mobile joke, Get a horse!" On the
occasion of the first tryout one old
fellow insistently repeted, 1T will
never go, it will never CO." and when
finally after some minor adjustment
was made the 1894 model King"
went down the street at a lively clip,
much to the surprise of the spec
tators and the particular dismay of
the pessimistic bystander, who i'm
mediatley declared, They'll never be
able to stop her in the wide world"
Kings advent preceded Duryea's
first practical machine about two
years, and the first Winton was sold
in 1898. About this time, also, the
French steam cars were considered
quite the best and not a few were in
use, the most popular being the
Serpollet, named after its inventor.
All their early machines were truly
"horseless carriages and in no wise
resembled the ''gasomobiles" which
were of the vintage of 1901 and the
forerunners OF, the automobile. In
fact, the French term automobile"
did not come into vogue until the
manufacture of self-propelled ve-
hicles was we'll established.
There is no more relation between
the first king" and the powerful,
swift, Majestic Eight of to-day than
there is between an acorn and a full
grown oak tree. But this crude, the
practical, machine showed that there
existed in the mind of the designer
a clear conception of the principles
of gas engine construction and a
realization of the possibilities of the
modern motor car. That striving for
perfection, that desire to attain the
idea, has been the grinding factor in
the manufacture of King motor cars
since the beginning. While SEEM
ingly mechanical perfection has ap-
parently been reached to-day, as ex-
emplified in the King Eight. the en-
gineering department and the labora-
tory of the King motor Car Company
work cesaelessly to discover wherein
the efficiency of the motor and its
components can be increased or the
design is simplified in order to fur
ther reduce manufacturing costs and
give the benefit to the reduction to
the buyer.

a physician summoned, who worked
with the child for nearly two hours,
which proved in vain, the child dy-

guerite, 2-year-old daughter of Carl
Snively, swallowed a large safety pin,
which she had put in her mouth
Thursday afternoon. The pin lodged

accident by the crying and choking
sound made by the child, and at
once summoned DR.. A. B. Sollen-

gone too far down to be reached
by instruments, or even to be exacly
located An X-ray machine was turn
ed on the child's throat and the pin
was seen to be in the larynx, but,
being too delicate an operation to be
performed by the local physicians,
the little girl was taken to a special
ist at Baltimore.
