While buying in the cotton yafn msr-
ket was not large last week IA better
feeling existed in the trade. Generally.
dealers firmly believe that prides are az
low as they will be for some time and
that buying spurt would temporarily
advance prices two or more cents n

batteries for automobiles must be LIN

We predict that when the splendid

ments get on the floors Of our distrib-
utors, the sales will score another big
increase. These new models viii move

MODERN AUBURN
SETS OFF OLD-TTMER

The present-day Auburn with its
beauty of line and powerful perform
ance offers contrast to its early pre-
~decessor--a o~ne-cylinder horsepower
runabout of primitive design, manu-
featured II years ago.
1t is interesting to note the comment
announcing the Auburn runabout OF
1903, and to observe the development
Of motor construction from the high,
ungainly vehicle of 1903 to the trim
built models of the present day. The
Dealer n observation-disclosures OF August
1903-published an article and photo
graph of the Auburn, .
"A new gasoline car of the runabout
type, which la general appearance
somewhat follows the accepted lines or
heavier vehicles, is shown in the Illus,
t II alton s. say !. L n.c R; Ha N + general cSml
pany, Auburn distributors,
This car, which Is driven by a single
cylinder horizontal gasoline motor Of
6-horsepower, has a wheel-base OF 10
inches, the width of tread being 4 feet
s inches and the total weight 1,lb0
pounds. The engine speed Is controlled
by a combined carburetor throttle and
spark adjuster. A planetary transmits.
sion system affords two forward speed
changes and a reverse operated by a
single side lever. The brake, which Is
applied by a foot pedal, operates on a
drum on the rear axle. Wheel steer
ing, through the medium of a worm de-
vice, is employed. Semi-elliptic Ia
springs are used in front, the rear
spring being 1h-inch. The wheels are
of wood, 20 inches in diameter, fitted
with 2h-inch double-tube tires.
THE body Of this vehicle Is we'll fin
lshed and upholstered in leather. a
metal hood being provided in front
which not only protects the spark coli
and battery but offers, in addition, a
storage space of considerable size.
This car, which has been m the
market but a short time, is built and
sold by the Auburn Automobile COM
pany, Of Auburn, Indiana"
The new Auburn Beauty-Six-the
latest word in motor car construction
looms large beside the 1903 model. Built
low, with sweeping, unhampered lines,
powerful motor and smart appoint
| ments, IL well portrays the automobile
development of the last II years when
