rs Those From Factorl

While the principal business OF the

CARS REBUILT.
AND REFINI5HED
Lone Star Devotes Whole
Floor to Making Old Cars
as Good as New.

THE vital thing in purchasing a
used car IS to know that all weak
and broken parts have been replaced
with others good as new. Complets
finishing. the same as IN case OF new
cars, makes the job complete. Our
large force OF expert mechanics and
superb finishers are able to make .
used car present a new appearance
and stand the test OF hard usage as

Perhaps this explanation OF the
Lone star policy as explained by
president f. Gordon Perry is the
secret Of the rapid growth OF the
cOmpany's business in used cars,
which now occupy the entire second
floor Of the new Lone Star building
A display OF some 40 used cars Of all
kinds. practically all rebuilt, may be
seen by purchasers in the Lone stars
used car department The cars pre-
sent the appearance OF new ones as
result Of neat work in the company's
paint shop
The Lone Star also has on hands a
few used trucks but these are scarce
as a rule because trucks are general
" used until they are OF no further

Maxwell If manager W Z. Ferguson
would have the machine driven to Los
Angeles. The buyer stated that used
cars generally in FL Paso may be
bought at a cheaper figure than in

had concluded to get a car here II he
could get IL driven over.
Manager Ferguson reports a good
demand for used cars OF all kinds, es-
pecially the smaller models. but says
that sales are delayed in many cases
because buyers want to pay 500
down and $50 per week instead Of
cash. a hundred down and $50 per
week don't pay says Ferguson. 'be-
cause they are liable to get the cars
in bad shape and IN case we have to
take them back for nonpayment we

LOCAL FIRM MAKES
GOOD PEA THREsHER
IDAHO NATIONAL HARVESTER
COMPANY MANUFACTURERS
A NEW MACHINE

A yield of 1872 sacks of Alaska peas,
worth $14 per sack, from 40 acres, has
just been harvested by E. G. Kimber-
ly, on land owned by N, Williamson,
just north of Moscow. The peas are
of a. fine quality and the crop is
worth, at present prices, $2548, or
$63.55 per acre.
The peas were threshed with the
new pea and bean thresher just COM
pleted by the Idaho National Har-
vester company, of Moscow and is
pronounced by Mr.. Kimberling and
the men who have worked with it a
success in every particular. The
power is furnished by a 22-horse pow
er tractor made from an old Haynes
automobile. The machine has a
wind stacker and the pea straw, which
is regarded as fine feed and worth
as much as hay, is blown directly
into the barn loft. Six men operate
the machine and yesterday it thresh-
ed 140 sacks of peas and it is claimed
it will average more than 100 sacks,
daily.
The machine has threshed the pea
crops of G. P. and Frank Mix, which,
while not as good as that of Mr.
Kimberling, yield a nice profit. G.. P.
Mix got 1875 sacks Of blue Prussian
peas worth $40 to SIP per sack from
80 acres, and has a nice lot of pea
straw in his barn loft and this is val
ued at 500 per ton.
The machine was built for thresh-
ing peas and beans, of which a large
acreage is grown in Latah county, but
it will also thresh grain. Next year
the firm plans to build a number of
the machines for sale, as they are
believed to be ideal for neighbor-
hoods where two or three farmers
can get a machine and do their
threshing without hiring help.
1t is believed this machine will prove
as successful as the Idaho National
combine, which is being used all owe
the western wheat growing districts
from Canada to Mexico and that it
will revolutionize the harvesting of
peas and beans. The writer saw the
machine in operation today and it is
certainly a smooth working machine.
Not a cracked pea was found in an
examination of the work for an hour
or more.
The price for threshing peas is 4
per sack and with lao sacks a day
threshed by six men and a boy to
drive the derrick team, a total of 10
gallons of gas and one gallon of lub-
.ricating oil used, it is easy to figure
out a nice profit in the work. 1t is
believed that these machines will be-
popular where beans and peas
are grown and there will be a big
demand for them next year.
