SUPERIOR QUALITY IN
NATURAL WOOD WHEEL
Sutherland Shows Why Sc
lected Hickory Stock Neces-
sary When So Finished.

Wheels finished in natural wood ar.
not only a thing Of beauty bu, thew
are the strongest possible recommen-
cation Of the car on which they ar.
found.
Neal Sutherland % the ". c. Nor
ris Motor Sales Co. local dealers
In Oldsmobiles is Justly proud OF this
distinctive and Characteristic feature
OF Oldsmobiles. The wheels are 10
an automobile what the foundation
is 20 a house" said Mr. Sutherland
when seen recently, "snd II the Quality
is there, there is mighty little prob
ability OF wheel breaking down thru
skidding or other undue strains"
"A cheap wheel finished in natural
wood is such Q tell-tale affair that no
concern using them dare finish them
In that way and so they are painted
up and any defects are covered IN
that manner. II takes a genuine Sc
ieoted hickory wheel to stand the crit
ical gaze Of the public when finished
In natural wood and that's just what
you can readily see on Oldsmooiles
needless TO say such wheels cost
great deal more and the temptation
is strong 20 substitute something
cheaper For instance. suppose only
ten dollars per car is saved on a SET
OF wheels; this means 100000 ADDED
10 the years profits OF the factory that
turns out 10000 cars. There isn't "A
manufacturer in the business that win
not seriously consider a ten dollar
per car saving at this time when the
cost sheet is the most closely watched
proposition In his care"
Back in the buggy and carriage
days the selected hickory wheel was
universally demanded on quality
Job. but since good hickory timber
has become so expensive. many of the
makers conveniently overlook any
mention Of wheel stock. But all the
while good wheels are OF much more
Importance on automobiles than on
because autom obiles are so
much heavier and travel at such
greater speed, and when the wheels
are called on to stand the stress ,x-
acted In emergencies, the strain on
them is simply terrific"
Il only wish that the good mater
ials in Oldsmobile bodies could be
shown up as the wheels are" con-
tinued Mr.. Sutherland, because their
frames are Of the same high quality

Wescott Rich and Aitcheson will be in

Considering conditions. the game
ought to be pretty evenly contested.
The visiting team, according to reports
of those that have seen it in action, will
outweigh State considerably, but other
wise does not have much of q margin
on the Marylanders. Indications are
that the game will develop into hard
fought struggle, with the breaks the de-
cisive factor.
Three games have been won by the
North Carolinians and one lost. Last
week Washington and Lee defeated
them by a margin of three touchdowns.
Washington and Lee, itself is not par
ticularly strong this season. but the
trip to Lexington works much against
a team. North Carolina has two ex-
ceptionally clever players, Gurley and
Homewood. The former is playing
quarterback and is said to be one of the
cleverest broken-f1eld runners in the
section: the latter is tackle who does
a lot Of running with the ball. Gurley

Business High and Eastern meet this
afternoon in the Central stadium in
the fourth game of the high school
gridiron series: The Stenographers
have been working hard since their
meeting with Western, but are not feel

the affair with Eastern. The light Capt.

fight against Central during the first
halt ana showed enough to warrant q
prediction that it will give one or two
Of the other elevens the fight Of their
lives to win.
Two games Of great importance are
booked tomorrow in the middle west.
At Chicago the University OF Chicago
Is to meet Illinois University. and at
Madison the University Of Minnesota
goes against the University of Wis
