MILLER ADDING
TIRE BRANCHES

The activity apparent in the safes
organization fine Miller Rubber
company at Akron indicates that F.
C. lIilhoff general sales manager of
that concern, was quite in his pre-
diction the first of the year TO the
effect that 1919 would break all tire
selling records. Within the last few
weeks the company has opened up
three new factory branches and each
week scores of dealers are being
added to the already long Miller list
The new Miller branches are az
Charlotte, y. c.; Memphis, Tenn, and
Cedar Rapids, Ia Each is fully
equipped with a complete stock OF
tires. tubes. accessories and repair
materials. It is the factory policy
it is announced to provide dealers in
all parts of the country with the
same kind of service and deliveries
they would receive were they located
right at the doors Of the factory
Hence, the branches and large dis
tribuung houses
THE business is increasing so
rapidly that we are actually having
a hard time. from an organization
standpoint. in keeping pace with the
growth" said AIillhOff the other day
I'VE have always worked on the
theory that lasting Miller success IS
due largely TO the service 7 e-AAe- GU

service unless they have the equip

though there is still scarcity OF
skilled rubber workers, the labor

serious q few weeks ago is now con-
sfderablv relieved For a time, ne

of tires would be dangerously al

ment on the Streets predicts ) A.
How. general sales manager or the
Haynes Automobile company.
in many foreign countries the rule
for traffic is keep to the left OF
Just the opposite TO the way our We
hicles move" says Mr. How, and as
a result. the foreign buyers Of Amer
lean cars demand right hand drive
cars-that is, cars with the drivers
wheel on the right hand side Of the
automobile. This is a natural demand.
for the same reason that we in this
country demand an automobile with
the wheel on the left side. It is more
convenient and safer in every way.
in this connection it is interesting
to note the origin Of the custom by
which vehicles going in opposite direc-
tons pass to the left and not TO the
right. In the early days in England
when horse drawn coaches were the
prevalent means OF transportation
through the narrow streets, the coach
mans whip with its long lash had to
obtain its play on the side Of the
coach away from the sidewalk. other
wise the lash would strike the pedes-

to the left Many other countries
adopted the passing to the left idea,
partly because Of the narrow streets
and partly because England had set
the custom But now that horse
drawn vehicles and the coachman's
whip have practically disappeared
and the automobile has become the
predominant means Of transportation
in most countries, the reason for the
left hand rule does not hold. But
the tradition remains and we find for
eign buyers Of American automobiles
still insisting upon right hand drive
cars"

We have found no way to describe the
Essex that is half so impressive as an actual
ride in the car.
The Essex was announced with the state
ment that it was to be advertised by those
who would ride in it. The car would not be
advertised as other cars have been adver-
tised.
No claims would be made for it. People
were asked to 90 see it-take a ride, and we
would rely upon its quality to speak for
itself
You know how the Essex has won its
place by what people are saying about it.
On the first day the Essex was shown
January 16th-clOse to five thousand people
in all parts of the country responded to the
invitation to ride in the Essex.

Essex Qualities Not
COMPARABLE to AnV Car

No other one car Is like the Essex IN de-
gree of beauty, comfort, performance or en-

some of these particulars. But those who
attempt to describe the Essex use a dozen
different weIl-known makes for COMPARE

It's htness and cost are compared to the
cars best known for their class. Perform
anee comparisons 90 into the high-priced car
field. Essex speed, Essex aeeeleradOn and
Essex hill climbing are almost invariably
stated in terms Of such performance as are
made by cars best known in those particu-
lars.
The finest and costliest closed cars are
referred to as being the nearest to Essex in
riding quality.
Cars that have proved their leadership in
the field of endurance are the standard by
which the long life of the Essex is measured.
Get acquainted with the Essex. Let us
prove to your satisfaction that the Essex is

The Essex Has Been
Expected Two Years

The response was large because the Essex
had been expected for two years. But only
a few had been permitted to ride in it up to
that time.
Now it is known in every section.
It has awakened the interest of all who
realize the value Of low first cost, ecOnOmi-
cal operation, combined with qualities of
performance riding ease, endurance and
other attractions heretofore obtainable in
only large and costly cars.
Users of big cars are enthusiastic over the

the very qualities most priced in the cars

THE ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY.

The Roosevelt highway proposition on the special
election ballot is one of the reconstruction that
should receive the serious consideration of the voter The
fact that these bonds will be taken Of entirely by the
automobile license fund.- and that the federal government
will match the money expended dollar for dollar strong
points in its favor.
More than this is the fact that such enterprise
while providing work during the reconstruction period will
open and develop the rich coast country adding millions
Of dollars to the taxable property valuation of the state
This highway will be tapped from the central Willamette
valley by the shortest route to the coast and the best road
OF ALL that extending directly westward from Salem
through Polk and Yamhi counties to Tiamook bay. This
not only affords the vacatonis and tourist visit to the
coast over road only few hours in enght of time but
the hay and feed raised in the valley may be transported
direct to the dairy ranches of the coast situated along
the proposed Roosevelt highway.
AS reconstruction policy would prefer the plan
of bulding permanent roads to that Of constructing
buildings at state institutions.
