Vouches For Tire Economy
of AppersOn Motor Cars

That the makers of the Apperson
car are right in their contention
that the Apperson for it's power is
the lightest on its wheels of any car
built, is we'll borne out by a report
recently received from the ]. w.
Leigh Motors Company, St Louis,
distributors of the well-known
Kokomo line of motorcars.
From time to time" writes Mr..
Leigh, I'VE see your statements of
tire mileage for Apperson cars run
ming to 5000 and 5000 miles. We
believe this to be a reflection on
the car since we have many cases of
tire mileage running from 5000 to
1900 and $4,000 miles and one as
high as 10000, We have in our shop
at the present time an Apperson
eight-cylinder roadster still wearing
three of its original tires, that have
gone 1874 miles"

livery vehicles, as the company de-
cribes it.
With abundant room for five pas
sengers-three on the rear seat and
two on the folding auxiliary seats,
there is no such thing as scarcity of
leg room. The softly upholstered
auxiliary seats are attached to the
partition between the front seat and
the rear compartment by means of
sliding bars and channels. The con-
struction is of the flush type and
there are no uneven lines when the
seats are not in use. A simple up
ward pull, however, brings either
seat to the proper position for pas
senger.
The body is upholstered in Span
ish leather, being handbuffed on the
cushions, backs and sides. 1t is
machine-buffed on the panels, doors
and ceiling. All cushions are of the
resilient spring type-many small
springs being encased in a canvas
bag inside the cushion which gives
an air cushion effect. Genuine
curled hair is also used. Silk roller
shades are found on the rear and
rear-quarter windows. In the rear
compartment, there is thick soft
carpet while aluminium bound lin
oleum is used in the drivers COM
partment.
The furnishing of the rear COM
partment, as a whole, is strictly in
line with that of high priced private
cars. There is a conveniently placed
speaking tube; a black enameled
cardcase; aluminium pins for hold
ing literature in place; a grab-han-
die on each side and a ventilator, of
the antirattle type, set above the
partition window.
The standard body finish is of a
rich, dark blue with wheels to match.
Other colors are optional. The fit
tings are of nickel and polished
aluminium while the tenders and
trimmings are black enameled.

INDUSTRIAL JUSTICE.

, to their side OF the story and we must
get than to listen with patience TO
our side OF The story. The day Of
sutocrace IN. government and labor
has gone by. II Is the day Of democ-
racy In which we stand shoulder TO
shoulder for the protection OF our
mutual Interests and above all tor
protection and glorifcation Of this
great country OF ours.
TN the years gone by l have seri-
olsiy doubted many times IL labor has
received a fair sh re % the prosperity
or this great country. We. ar manu-
facturers have got to open our eyes
to q wider vision OF the present and
future with reference to our work
men. we have got TO devise ways
aad means by which capital and labor
sha,i share equally. not IN theory. but
in practice We must not only talk
about these things, but we must do
these t1ingH
We have got TO realize that many
unjust demands will be made by labor.
as they have been made by cnpi-
ta,ists and employers IN the past-
That Is one of the lessons In true
democracy that the great war has
taught us. The thing We havs got TO
do is teach, not patronize.
What ! want to impress upon you
It's that we ace new condition of
affairs. That we must work out the
problems connected with It: that we
must expect troublesome times and
difficulties in the working out o. these
problems But above all else we must
ping ahead with the confident belief
Chat the business. Industrial and
raanpfa ~ rTrtFaa. interests OF tfte United
States are going onward and inward
