Any Automobile advice and timely warning for all buyers! On July first. Rickenbacker announced 4-Whecl Brakes on new models.
 We stated then that this would prove "the greatest improvement since tho advent of t,e Self-Starter-13 years ago." That announcement created a sensation that shook the industry to its very foundations. Reason for 4-Wheel Brakes is necessity for greater safety in trafic-not only on city streets, but on the country roads. Invention, always following closely in the wake of necessity, has produced perfect system of brakes all fou2 wheels.
 Even rival engineers proclaim this Rcken- packer 4-Wheel Brake "the most beautiful example of fine engineering that has graced motor ear-American or European" Look at them, They tell their own story. Already, two prominent makers have followed Rickenbacker leadership by announcing A. Wheel Brakes! Others will follow. Engineers in all other plants-(we repeat "an other plants'O are feverishly working to pro- duce a workable 4-Wheel Brake system with out infringing Rickenbacker design and certain European patents.
 Rickenbacker showrooms are crowded all the time-so intense Is the interest. Factory swamped with orders. -=@ Seems as if everyone wants n car with 4-Wheel Brakes and won't be happy till he gets it. that do not have them are trying to explain why they "do not believe in 4-Wheel Brakes Here is bit of inforna ation for all such.

 Get that-"Built in.''
 This Is mighty important point It.. something you should insist upon when con. sdering car-that tho brakes are built in not tagged onto an old model Axles, front and rear, must be specially designed to insure that brakes function properly How will you know7
 Tell you, when you see set of '.externa! con- tracting brakes-that should be your warning For in rnost this is evidence that the maker suddenly realized that buyers now insist on 4-Wheel Brakes-and hastily tried to put them on the cheapest way without re-desgning his axles.
 Can't be done.
 We tried 1t. Tried every type of brake, and all fell short of the degree of perfection which Rickenbacker policy demands.

WILnOuL f- VHeCL D Ask any salesman of cars having external con- tracting" brakes these questionsi "Does mechanism that Is exposed to dust,

 years before others even heard tho term. The first Rickenbacker chassis ever '1aid on the drawing board" had brakes all four wheels
 Had before us, the results of decade of Euro- pean engineering. Began where they left off, And as result of research, our resources and
 engineering skill, succeeded in producing
 better system of brakes than any of them. We challenge the world on that assertion. Stand Riclsenbacker beside any European car-
 the one with the best brakes-and compare. You will be as proud of this American achieve nent as are.
 Rickenbacker engineers tried every type of brake,
 and concluded that the internal, expanding c type was the eniy dependable kind

 brakes that function perfectly at all tinnea,siny ,. all seasons, on all kinds of roads and under r every conceivable condition of driving.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-09

GS OOSOGGGC -the only system whereby front-wheel brakes can Do used Independently of the rear. .the only system where the rear wheel brakes can be used 100 per cent independently of the 4Wheel system. Tn a word, this Rickenbacker Six Is the only car on the world-narket that has three indepeh- dent braking systems, all of which operate just successfully backward as forward-and individually we'll as collectively. Other makers will soon follow Rlckenbacker by featuring 4-Wheel Brakes.
 But-that alone will not put their product on par with Rickenbacker.
 There arc several other outstanding features that you still find only in this product. For Rickenbacker has contributed more en- gineering rehnements to the industry in three years than have been developed by all other makers combined in the past ten. The Vbrationless Motor-due to the two Ay- wheels. was a Rickenbacker invention. The CarbonIess Motor-accomplished by che Automatic "Air Cleaner"
 
 application of ball bearings in steering spindes. The Vibrationless Body-due to the Double Depth" frame invented by Rickenbacker. The Most Luxurious Riding Car-dus to Rickenbacker "Cradle" spring suspension So, when others do trail along with 4-Wheel Brakes, they will still be far behind Ricken- packer, the leader.
 s salesmen of these obsolete willstry to dis- count or discredit 4-Wheel Brakes. They may be honest at that-for few of them know what the makers plans when he in- tends to bring out 4-Wheel Brales.) So to protect yourself, use this plani Tell the salesman you tOant signed statement from the head Of the concern, asserting post. tiUely that his t0W not haze <-Wheel Brakes Within the next six months! Insist on a written statement-don't accept the word of a man who does not know We wiH guarantee you notO that not one leading maker wiU sign such statement. Not one! And if one did-it would prove he is hopelessly behind the times. 4-Wheel Brakes are here. At least two makers have admitted that their engineers have not yet succeeded in develop ing a perfect working set of 4-Wheel Brakes" Too bad-better get another engineeri s The world won't wait for laggard. x The world goes forward-never backward. Makers may protest and argue and cuss-but they can't turn back the hands of the clock. Rickenbacker showed tho way-others must follow whether they want to or not. We repeat-"Efective this date-any autono- bile without 4-Wheel Brakes Is obsolete.' Just as obsolete as a car without seIf-starter. Remember-you stop in half the distance that you do with ordinary 2-Wheel Brakes. Ideal time for demonstration of this is a rainy day and "slippery-wet" asphalt pavement. Ten minutes at the wheel will be a revelation to you.
 But don't delay. Demand Is tremendo ous. Today-won't be minute too

The Coconino sun., 1923-06-08

Milt Powers told two stories of be
fore the Volstead at the Rotary din
ner at Williams Thursday night.
A brick-layer who was allowed 10
cents day by his wife and who regu-
larly spent it for a drink of whiskey,
was laid off one day and with his hod
on his shoulder strolled into swell
drink emporium, that had just opened
up for business. Laying his dime on
the bar he called for whiskey. The
bartender, with a supercilious glare,
growled, 1--WE sell no ten-cent whls-
kies here"
Pat put his hod back on his shoul-
der, went to the door and there turn
ed and growled: "Well, begorra, yez
can't work off none o yer five-cent
whiskies on mel"
The other was about time when
Wolfe, manager of Dave Warfield,
walked into a saloon at Maricopa, this
state. He had been there 20 years
before and borrowed a gun during the
wait at the junction with which ne
had killed five ducks and six quail. A

there isn't much use in describing it,
except to say that its success during

may well take pride in--is mostly due
to the following:

companion on this later trip had tip
ped the bartender off, so when Wolfe
came in the bartender asked him If his
name wasn't Wolfe. Wolfe, surpris-
ed. said it was. you were here 20
wears ago % the bartender asked. Il
was said Wolfe. "And you got a
gun and went out and killed some
birds. Let's see, it was five ducks
and six quail you got, wasn't 1t -
Wolfe confirmed it.
Later in the day Wolfe told War
| field that he had met man there
with the most wonderful memory he
ever heard of. He told about the bar
tenders recalling his visit there 20
years before and even remembering
| lust how many ducks and quail he
had killed.
Warfield looked out of the car win
dow, yawned and said:
"Well, why shouldn't he remember
Nothing has ever happened here since,
| has there"
| Milt sprung another one at last
weeks Rotary meeting here, illustrat-
| ing how fast Los Angeles is growing
Last month when he was over there
| fellow who owned ranch was nego-
| tiating a trade of the ranch for big
building in town. The real estate man
with whom he was dickering showed
him the building and then they start
ed out for the ranch. As they rode
along the real estate man pointed out
development after development that
had been made IN the city, told about
the solid blocks of new buildings they
passed and then after they had been
travelling a long time, suddenly inter-
rupted his description of a lively
looking section of the city they were
going through and asked:
GLOW much farther is it out to your
ranch ?"
"Hell," the owner replied, eve pass
ed that two hours ago."
Illustrating the difference in men,
a friend the other day told us the
true story--anyway it is reported to
be accurate--of the appearance of
three men before st. Peter at the
pearly gate that saint swings to and
fro admitting pilgrims from earth and
more especially from Flagstaff.
George Washington strolled up.
George Washington, was the reply.
"What did yer do OH earth ~ was
the father of my country" Walk in"
Another man came along. What's
yer name ?" abraham Lincoln"
''What did yer do 2" Saved my coun-

LAND BROUGHT UNDER PL0W
Two Million Farms in the United
States ArtifciaIly Irrigated to
Point of High Production

Under the system of federal coop
Grafton the reclamation of Americas
arid lands proceeds today with in
creased speed and confidence. Before
1860 the number of farms under irrf-
CATION in the United States was 500,
comprising 1884, acres; in 1910 the
acreage had increased to IA, 49, S5,
while by 1920 the government census
shows 1,916,391 farms under irrigation.
with an irrigated acreage of 1891
TIC and an area subject TO irrigation
under projected systems in excess Of
36,000,0O0 acres. The present gross
area under irrigation in the United
States, all of which is the result OF
not more than 20 years activity, rep
resents one-fifth of the aggregate
lands now being irrigated on the
earths surface. In addition we have
many great projects in view, including
the Columbia river project, which con-
templates the reclamation of 10000
600 acres of arid land. and the Colo
RADIO basin, with 100000 acres, while
bills in congress and appropriations al
ready provided furnish many hundreds
OF millions of dollars and include de-
velopment in all parts of the country
where irrigation is in practice.-Ed-
