OAKLAND CLAIMS RECORD
 FOR ALL AUTOS

Forty thousand miles in an Oakland six and the upkeep has been so small as to be almost ridiculous. The small sum of s73 has been the extent of the output of Frank Gotchell valley ranch CT, who has piloted his Oakland that distance. This sum includes the pur- chase of a new battery too.
 According to Sales Manager Knox of the Oakland Arizona company, state distributors Of the Oakland, this is al- most a record for mileage and upkeep in this section of the country.
 So confident is Gotchell of the abil- ities of his car, that he is now plan- ming to make a tour of the United States, with his ultimate destination fixed in the state of Maine. He has every confidence in the world that he will reach there in perfect shape and that his uplSeep bills will not be any more in proportion during the trip than they have been in the past.

PRODUCTION 1T
 NAXNELLS WILL
 bEMUCH[ARGER

Not content with announcing and putting on the market within 90 days post war model, the Maxwell people have now announced the near con- pletion of a new s10.000000 addition to the already large plant. The fac tory output for the past few months has been in the neighborhood of 375 machines a day.
 The great demand for Maxwells all over the United States, and the in ability of the factory to keep up with it's orders led the heads of the com pany to decide on the new addition. As soon as it is completed and the machinery installed, production will be increased by 800 cars a day.
 This has been considered one of the greatest bits of news passed out in the automobile world in several months. It means that Maxwell pro- duction will be increased this year to 160.000 cars, putting it in class by itself in numbers of production.
 Up to date the R. b. Roper Motor company, local distributors, have been putting Maxwells on the market here at the rate of one day, but within the greatly increased production of 1 the factory, they have hopes of meet ing the ever growing demand with more prompt deliveries.

FRANKLIN MAKES
 AN0THERREC0RD

How one bit of newspaper publicity was largely responsible for the direct sale of thirteen fine automobiles should be convincing enough proof for anyone, of the force of the daily news paper of today. The latest person to be be convinced Is W. NJ. Phillips, dealer for the Franklin car at Lexing- ton, Ky.
 Recently Mr. Phillips decided he would drive a car from the factory to Lexington. Then he hit upon a novel idea. He invited a Lexington news paper man to accompany him as off cial observer, ran large-siZed adver- tisements in the papers announcing he was to try for an economy record for the 770.3 miles, and started out
 Each day of the run, the newspaper man, as official observer, telegraphed the days mileage back to Lexington and the newspapers carried the tele- gram as the report of the days prog ress. The series of ads. quickly got motorists to talking, and when the Franklin rolled up mileage of 30.S miles to every gallon of ordinary com mercial gasoline, the talk was trans ferred to action.
 As a direct result, Mir. Phillips had to put his automobile away and start taking orders about as soon as he stepped out of his car. He has just concluded a week in which he sold more cars than ever before during a similar period, taking orders for thir- teen Franklins in six days.

MESsNER JAN NOV|
 DELIVER MACHINES

For the first time in months and months Cal Messner is going to be in a position to guarantee delivery Of Hudson and Essex cars. IL might also be mentioned that he is going to be in the same relative position as con- cerns G. Nj. c. trucks.
 This is something unusual for Mess ner. The greatest trouble he has had for a long period has been in guaran- teeing deliveries. He has been way behind with all of his lines, but now the gods have smiled upon him and following i trip to the coast he is guaranteeing deliveries after the first of the month. As a matter Of fact he is in Q position right now to place cars in the hands of purchasers.
 Messner not only has show room full of Hudson and Essex cars, but he has five or six carloads on the way He unloaded two carloads of c. M. C. trucks "Wednesday and expects an other carload here soon.

CATTLE KING USES SIX FRANKL|NS IN
 GREAT ENTERPRISE

There are six members of my fam fly old enough to drive a car and all of them drive Franklins, said w. H Merchant of the Merchant Live Stock association, one of the largest organi- zations of it's kind in the southwest Mr. Merchant and his sons, Clabe, J. o. and Lige Merchant control " town ships in the state of New Mexico. They are constantly travelling overland and they make all their trips in Franklin.
 We have driven in what is known as the Mescalore sand" continued MT Merchant, "a stretch of land which is from 6 to 10 miles wide and 400 miles in length This sand makes driving very difficult and there are very few cars which have ever attempted to make the passage"
 In order that he might demonstrate the weight which he thought his re- marks regarding the Franklin, should have, Mir Merchant has made out and signed the following affidavit: We purchased our first Franklin car in 1912 and three more in 1916 and the last two, making a total of six, are 1919 models. I have given these cars the most severe treatment and pun ishment, but they have never failed me, at any time. Overheating is un- known. If any car would heat it surely would show up in this desert sand.
 My last trip. leaving Carlsbad, in Eddy county, New Mexico, on the Sth of September with five passengers in the party, bound for Los Angeles, and | loaded with about 800 pounds of bag gage. Going by the way of Socorro, i in Socorro county, N. M., and from there to Clarkdale, Springerville, Hol- brook. and there striking the Santa Fe trail and then to Los Angeles.
 There were two cars in the party when we started, both heavier and more powerful. But on reaching Hol- brook, it began to rain and we had l thirteen hours of heavy down pour, resulting in so much mud and water that the other cars had to abandon and give up the trip with us We ar rived in Los Angeles on the 14th day of September at 2 a. m. and the car had never been touched in any way for adjustments or punctures or for any other troubles The rest of our party arrived three days later. On this trip of 12s0 miles one way we averaged 27.7 miles to the gallon of gasoline. On our return trip we made it through by Parker, Buckeye and then to Phoenix, where we met the Franklin representatives and gave them this story.
 Our advise to cattlemen, where they have to travel through mountains, sand, desert and trails, to deal with every day, we advise them to try a Franklin car as we contribute a great amount of our success to the Franklin car.

FORD FLATS IN
 HOLY LAND ARE
 QUITE UNUSUAL

w. T. Massey, noted British journal lst, now recording the prince of Wales tour through Canada and the United States for the London Daily Tele- graph of London, England, was official war correspondent with the English army-under General Allenby-yhich wrestcd the Holy Land and Syria from the Turks.
 When telling of his experiences, he says that he used Q Ford in many a journey from Beersheba to Jerusalem and to Nzareth, Damascus and Alepp, p and that "in Allenbys final push, this trusty old car took me more than 4,0O0 miles in six weeks and l believe within one year 1t travelled over 30,000 miles in country where roads are few. and these the worst in the world"
 Tn the Sinai country it is very sandy and it is quite a common. sight to see Ford touring running along with two rols of wire netting secured to the foot boards. When the car gets to piece where the sand is impass able, the driver unrolls the netting over the roadway and thus an easily passable wire road is constructed; in fact in some parts of the country per manent wire roads have been made and over these the car runs alone easily and smoothly, at 90 miles ar hour"
 MT. Massey also stated that the For played no small part in helping "tc deliver the Holy Land and Syria iron the Turks" and that his old 10S0 Ford was the most wonderful car ir the war" So highly does he regard the merits of the Ford car that he has asked permission to address the mer of the Ford factory. who make ForC cars, to tell them his experiences anC thank them for their good work 1T building such reliable motor cars. H. expects to visit the Ford factory or the day the Prince of Wales visit. Windsor

CUBAN MULES TO . C|VE PLACE FUR
 AMERICAN TRUCK

Goodbye to two wheeled mule carts and welcome motor truck" is the way Senor Silva, a prominent Cuban auto mobile dealer now visiting the United States, expresses the adoption of the motor truck on the Cuban isles.
 Cuba is home of big sugar industry mule carts too slow and cost much American motor truck more speedy and costs little-saves much time and money" is Senor Silva's reason why Cuba is rapidly becoming motorized.
 Senor Silva, who distributes Kissel passenger cars and trucks at home makes Havana his headquarters. He states that American methods of sell ing automobiles has been adopted on the islands, even to granting of service to owners on the same broad basis common in the United States.
 From Silva's glowing description, Cuba is the home of good roads. Wide. white streets, plazas boulevards and avenues-in the country as well as the cities, fairly cover the island.
 It did not take the Cubans, espe- cially the sugar plantation owners, long to realize that they were produc- ing sugar faster than their transpor- tation methods could deliver the sugar cane to the mills or the finished pro duct to shipping points.
 Tourists, as well as representatives of business interest from the United State began telling of the wonderful economies in time, labor and money, motor trucks made possible in the States, resulting in a few trucks being t9reered for demonstration purposes.

THE LASTING coLoRs

Experts agree that the most service able colors for painting the car, in point of lasting qualities, freedom from peeling, cracking and similar ills, are dark blue, dark green and dark red. These colors are even better than the conventional black. And here is an.
 other tip for the amateur painter: oil the floor of the paint room so that dust will have a tendency to stick to the floor instead of rising to get on the body finish. If it is not possible

 More than 5000 feet of Blaw forms and a BIaw- Knox finishing machine are being used by the contractors on this work. This is the first time this improved equip ment has been used in this state.
 The contractors expect that with the improved equipment the work will be in full swing again before the first of the year.
