working order old age can be deferred

At the same time one of his trac- tors will be shipped here and demon tions will be made.
 Walter s. Gaines, formerly engineer with the Cleveland Tractor Company, and later one of the engineers who helped perfect the 21s ton tank during the war for the United States govern nent, is chief engineer for the Mobile Tractor Company. He has had long experience in the tractor and tank field and has made some wonderful improve ments in tractor work. which have been incorporated in the Mobile tractor.
 The factory of the Mobile Tractor Company is nearing completion, MT. Ryan being of the opinion that it will be finished within the next 45 days. The buildings are of concrete and steel, having been built by the Truston Steel Company of Youngtown, o.
 MT. Ryan stated Friday that orders have already been booked for the first year output, which he places at l,oU0 tractors. It is estimated that the secA ond years output will be 4000 and after that it will be between 5000 and 5000 per year. The factory will give employment to from 2500 to 5000 peo- pie The minimum wage scale will be introduced, along with the bonus sys- tenn. Skilled mechanics are making ap- plications for positions with the Mobile concern now.
 The Mobile tractor has been a sensa- tion wherever it has been exhibited, according to MT. Ryan. At the Kansas City Tractor Show, recently held. the Mobile won the first rpize for tractors of more than 20 horsepower. Inquiries are being sent in from many of the Eu- ropean countries and from all over the United States. State distributors for the tractor have-been named in several states, namely Alabama, Georgia. Mis- sissippi. Louisiana and California
 The Mobile Tractor Company is the first and only firm that has been passed by the state securities commis- sion, according to Mir. Ryan. Any thing that can get by in Alabama now under the blue sky law said Mir. Ryan, must be a legitimate business proposition. So there is no longer any chance for the investors of this state being buncoed.

The Essex Is Famous for Beauty
 as We'll as Performonce

Essex performance proofs naturally overshadow it's qualities of quieter appeal.
 For prior to Essex, it was held that light weight must mean some forfeit in smooth ness, speed power and endurance.
 But even those whose choice was decided by its supreme performance ability are captivated by it's notable beauty of design, it's luxurious fittings and it's quiet riding ease.
 It is not merely that Essex matches large, high priced cars in comfort. It is not only it's speed, it's quickness at the getaway and it's quet mastery of the hills. Its charm is the combination of these qualities with flying smoothness in action and a re- sponsiveness in action and responsiveness that needs the lightest touch.
