 ENOUGH T0 VOTE

Lansing, Mich.-July is gala month in the offices and factories of the Olds Motor Works because it marks the Fist anniversary of the company's advent into the automo- bile world
 Everyone in the organizations takes keen interest in the attain ment of our majority" said Presi- dent Yer Linden, because they feel very proud of what the company has done toward the development of the automobile industry during the last two decades
 The Oldsmoble has the distinc- tion of being the first automobile made and introduced to the Ameri- can public on a practical commercial basis. In the years of experiment and development that followed it was always among the leaders. A great many of the radical changes that have assisted to completely revolu- tionize industry, were originated in | our engineering department and put into practice on early model Olds- mobiles.
 Had it not been for the outbreak of the war" continued MT. Yer Lind en, this year would have marked the greatest single increase of output in the history of the company. With the introduction of the perfected B. cylinder models so overwhelming a demand was created that immediate building extensions were made neces- sary. Accordingly two enormous modern concrete buildings were be- gun and have since been completed. Under present conditions, the needs of the war department and the na- | tion at large must, of course, have | first consideration. and a good pro- | portion of the increased facilities will be diverted to purposes other | than the making of an increased number of passenger automobiles

 HARTFORD TIRES

R. A. Timmons manager of Vans Tire House, has recently returned from California with a large stock Of Hartford tires and tubes, principally in Ford sizes. He is adding this new make to his already large assort- ment because of the exceptional guar antee under which the tire is sold. E
 From all sides on my trip" he said, T have been warned of further advances in the prices of tires and tubes because of the heavier cost of production and an over demand for the product In view. of this fact I have purchased a large stock Of Hartford tires and tubes to provide for our many customers. As it is vi tally necessary in these days to con- serve everything 1 urge every auto- mobile owner to have his old tires re-treaded instead of buying new ones. Re-treaded tires often are made to yield twice the mileage originally intended that they should be run"
 A new expert tire man has but recently been added to the force of the tire house and the establishment is now ready to turn out more work than ever before.

Equipped with a specially built mail cage for carrying first-class mail, compartment for five passengers, and loading space in the rear for 1,500 pounds of parcel post matter, they are making this 101-mile run, stopping at intermediate points, including the Roosevelt Dam, with a minimum of upkeep expense and rendering the maximum service to mail, freight and passenger loads.
 These trucks were chosen by the holders of the mail contract, Valentine

 The Moreland truck is built entirely in the Moreland factory. Before a truck is placed on the market, its pow CTS of endurance and running qualities are thoroughly tested.

MISSION OF AUTO

Like other great inventions, the mission of the automobile is to save time." says the Kissel Auto company of Phoenix.
 Tt has put human activities on a speed basis, and if it were to be abolished tomorrow, the worlds busi- ness could not be carried on as rap idly, efficiently, and economically. It has not only efficiencyized' every branch of commercial, industrial and governmental America, but it has re- volutionized home life and given us all a better understanding of healthy and clean living"

TOURING HINTS
 F0RM0T0R|STS

As the touring season approaches, the motorist who contemplates trip will do well to gather a large fund of information, much of which will keep him out of trouble and contribute to the fun of his vacation
 In this connection it is interesting to know that the electric system of car which has been used for city driving, may need readjusting to meet touring conditions. This is particu- larly true when you consider the ef- feet of long drives on the storage battery, says MT. E. L. Gielow, chief electrician for the Western Machinery company of this city, local Willard representatives.
 Tn city driving the starter may be used frequently, and the actual run ming time of the engine may be com paratively limited. In touring the conditions are practically reversed and to meet them, certain adjust ments can be made on the generator which replaces the current in the bat l tery The dealer who sold the car should be consulted on this ques- tion.''
 Unless adjusted to meet the changed conditions of touring, the l VIII IOTce more eiPctrlcltN into the battery than the battery is called upon to furnish to the starter. ] As result the battery will be over heated, and may be seriously dam- aged.
 It is advisable for the touring mo- | torists to feel of the battery cell con- nectors once in a while. If they seem more than blood warm to the ! touch it is safe to assume that the battery is hotter than is good for it. A very simple remedy for this diff | ficulty, however is to burn all the | lights while driving. even in the day time, for the remainder of the day" The best way to prevent such a necessity, however, is to have your generator adjusted to touring condi- tions before you start, on the princi- pie that it is better to prevent an overheated condition than to cure it after it has stared"
 Tn case of trouble with your elec- tric system while touring, it always is advisable to stop at a first class electric service station and have the battery examined. There are more i than eleven hundred Willard Service Stations over the country and a list of them can be secured on applica- tion at the local Willard Service Station.

In conclusion he said: T have several sales pending as a direct result of the duty the Moreland is performing for Uncle Sam between Globe and Pay son. All that is necessary is to interest a buyer is to show him just what the truck is actually doing"

AUTOS CARRY THREE
 M|LL|ONMORE THAN
 PASSENGER TRAINS

T"lt is now pretty generally realized hat the automobile is d vital link in the transportation system of Amer ica,' says the Kissel Auto company, local dealer in Dort cars.
 Tn 1915 automobiles carried three million more people than the rail- roads, and later official figures. wher forthcoming, will undoubtedly find 'he proportion increased.
 Neither the steam or electric rail- ways are equipped to handle t&e burden that would be thrown upCn hem by a material reduction in the number of automobiles.
 Therefore. tho building of enough automobiles to replace those worn out annually is necessary to national et- ticiency.
 Five Million In U. S.
 There are at the present time ap- proXimately five million passenger au- omobiles in the United States. Al- lowing six years as the average life of car, this means that S50,0O0 new ones must be produced annually to maintain the present automobile transportation service. Those who into the matter judiciously and with out prejudice understand that for the sake of national efficiency, it must be maintained.
 "Curtailment means depreciation of farm and suburban land values, great loss of time to doctors, farmers, con- tractors, statesmen and others who use them daily in their work cripphng of patriotic work in behalf Of gov ernment loans, the Red Cross. etc.

.DORT TRACES BACK
 ID CARRIAGE DAYS

The Dort Motor Car company of Flint, Michigan. is the most conspic- uous of the many automobile plants that grew out of the carriage busi- ness. It's story is a romantic one
 This company is the direct descend ent of the Durant- -Dort Carriage com pany, manufacturers of the famous Blue Ribbon buggies and once the largest concern of it's kind in America.
 Out of the Durant-Dort industrial tree sprouted many branches includ- ing nearly all the great manufactur- ing enterprises responsible for the meteoric development of Flint
 Buick and Chevrolet
 The Buick and Chevrolet cars, as well as the Dort, the Imperial wheel the Walker Weiss axle, the Mason motor. the A. c. spark plug and Flint varnish all trace the ancestry back u the Durant- Dort partnership.
 The production of passenger auto mobiles for the balance of this year will depend upon the uncertain steel requirements of the United States government" says an official of the Dort Motor Car company.
 No Curtailnent
 Contrary to an impression that seems to prevail quite widely, there has been no official curtailment of the industry. The curtailment has been purely automatic, governed by the supply of material, labor and transportation available.
 There has, of course, not been near nearly enough Dorts to fill or ders. and this situation will continue to prevail. We can take care oi present buyers, but there is no as- surance that this condition will pre- vail for long. Those who need cars should not delay"
