)ETHARD WILL
| SERVE PATRONS
BY AR SERVICE
Richmond Company is First
Auto Agency to Enjoy De-
livery by Plane.

The Bethard Auto Agency will be
the first agency in this part of the
country to have parts delivered for
the use of their customers by way of
the air.
AS users of the parts service of the
Service truck company, of Wabash,
Indiana, who have just announced a
new air delivery, the Bethard COM
pany will enjoy full use of all air
conveniences of the Wabash company.
No more will mail. freight, or ex-
press take their comparatively slow
and unreliable way in delivering to
Bethard patrons parts needed for re-
placement.
Instead, an hour or so after word
has been flashed to Wabash that a
particular spare part is needed, the
hum of a powerful Curtiss j. n.
airplane will be heard, and a few min
utes later the goggled and armored
pilot will deliver the needed part di-
rect to Bethard or his customer.
The Wabash company has just es-
tablished an air school for the train
ing Of commercial pilots near its fac
tory, and good training for the young
flyers and their tutors will be afford
ed by flying to answer emergency
calls of Service patrons, In need Of
parts for Service motor trucks.
The company is the first in America
to establish such revolutionary plans
in extending it's work and facilities
SO far that it's friends and customers
may be taken care of, and Bethard
keeps up his reputation for originality
by taking the service here.

Every Knock Is Boost
For Veteran Buick

Mr.. E. p. Mills, editor of The Ange-
lica Advocate, of Angelica, N. Y, has
complaint to register against the
Buick, according to Harry Chenoweth.
"In January, 1916" Mr. Mills writes,
your dealer induced me to purchase
a Buick six. | took the agents
word that the car would be all right.
The Buick was delivered and l have
driven it 1900 miles.
Il have had to buy oil and gasoline,
of course. l expected that but l have
had to purchase other things; for in
stance, two balls for front wheel hub,
one bulb for the dash light, and one
bulb for the headlight.
Now l shall soon be obliged to buy
a tire or two. | have two spares to
replace the original tires.
AS to mileage, l am unable to do
better than the following:
First year, $500 miles on 165 gal
Ions. Second year, 2,400 miles on la
gallons. Third year. 1000 miles on
76 gallons of gasoline. During this
period l have used a five-pound pail
of cup grease, fifteen gallons of motor
oil and two gallons of steam cylinder
oil.
"You can see from the above that |
was taken in by the Buick dealers.
The engine needs to be gone over, but
she runs all right, still and steady.
"And the other day a friend of
mine bet me a dollar that my car
had been newly finished. / won the
dollar, because | had only just washed
it. If you have car that is as good
as mine, | am ready to trade, but is
must be just as good

Saxon Popularity Is
Showing Rapid Growth

The Saxon car is unequaled in, many
ways. Four years ago it was only
known by the advertisements carried
in trade journals; now your eyes will
tell you that the Saxon car is the third
car in numbers sold in this territory.
This fact is not altogether due to the
tireless efforts of the Bethard Auto
organization, for the Saxon car is a
car of best parts and thus gained i'm
mediate recognition.
The Saxon car first made its ap-
pearance several years ago in dimin-
utive; it was small but mighty good.
The next season it grew to real car
size, and since then its lines have

EXPERTS PREDICT BUTTER
AND EGG PRICES WILL SHOW
MARKED DECLINE VERY SOON

Chicago, June 10--Price reductions
in butter and eggs were predicted by
experts here today who declared huge
excess storage stocks, lack Of heavy
export, and big production season
would combine to bring the decline.
Figures posted today at the Chi
cago Butter and Egg Board show,
there were on June in ffty-fiye
warehouses composing the associated
warehouse report, an excess.of $780,
900 pounds of butter stored, COM
pared to last years holdings, and an
excess of 10000 cases of eggs. On
June /, 1918, there were 100000
pounds of butter in these warehouses
while this year shows a storage OF
1896, 900. For corresponding period
there were 3,2SS,000 cases Of eggs in
storage on June /, 1919, against q
$4,000 cases in 1918.
"There is good prospect that prices
will go down." said an official of the
Bureau of Markets, Department OF
Agriculture.

that is of vital Importance to all

which is to protect the owners of such

the legislators in passing the law was
to have every car, its license number,
