KING ALFONSO OF SPAIN
BUYS AN OWEN MAGNETIC

The name and fame OF the owen
Magnetic car have spread to Spain
and as a result King Alfonso Kill
has purchased one. This has led to
several of the prominent automobile
dealers In Spain opening negotiations
with the owen Magnetic Company
with a view OF securing the agency.
One Madrid dealer. senor Jose jun
guerra, arrived in this city II few days
ago and after demonstration OF the
car signed up with Sales Manager
Partridge for twenty-five cars. The
Senor said money was plentiful in
spain now and there was a big de-
n,and for motor cars.
That this Is true is indicated by tho
fact that the freight rate to Spain on
an Owen Magnetic car Is over 500
and with the duty added SCnor jun
gueras customers will have to pay
between $4,000 and $1,000 each for the
cars.
