ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Pioneer One Cylinder Automobile

One Years.

The sight of K. w. Carter, man
ager of the Whitman Implement Co.,
driving through the streets last Sat
urday in an antiquated automobile,
heading a procession of four or five
of the most beautiful Oldsmobiles
ever turned out, attracted wide at
tention, and naturally the question
arose. what's the idea?" The pa
rade was designed to show the evolu-
ton of the Oldsmobile from the date
the first Odds was turned out, in
1898, up to the present time, and the
Olds lone Hunger" chugged its way
through the streets at a snail's pace,
but the one-cylinder engine per-
formed remarkably we'll for a ma
chine that had done service for 81
years. The pioneer automobile is a
two-passenger affair, with the engine
under the seat. The tires are of hard
The machine is steered by means of
a steering lever and 10 miles is its
maximum speed, with the negotiation
of hills or even inclines an impossi-
bility with the single geared engine.
The gas tank holds but two gallons.
The first odds, when viewed
alongside the magnificent 1919
models demonstrated the tremendous
strides made in the automobile in
dustry during the 2 years since its
inception, and the pioneer machine
attracted as much attention on the
streets of Pullman last Saturday as
il did II years ago, when it took its
rank as the wonder OF the age.

INSTALLED FRIDAY

Miss Stella Scurlock, secretary OF
the Y. w. G. A. at the Washington
