calls for the correction Of IN impression created in some quarters by radical lead
ers that the employees are seeking to destroy the railroads by inefficient ad dis
loyal service til true that comparatively small number of union leaders are

honor towards the companies that has always characterized their service. That
this is particularly true of the Great Northern is evidenced by the following resou-
tons unanimously adopted aa meeting OF the Great Northern Veterans Asoca-

 We especially invite all owners of high grade cars to try out tho new Peerless" recently stated P. R. Me- Cormack. Tt is real pleasure to have people drive the Peerless who are accustomed to driving the best of other makes. There Is a different feel about the Peerless that cannot escape the notice of the most indif- ferent driver. We like for owners of the most expensive cars built to the steepest grades. It will make a pablo of appreclating motor car that Is expressly built for people of refinement, good taste and who well come car that Is unequaled In qual- ity and Is yet economical.
 "Of course, our invitation is not restricted to one class of motor car owners, for we are delighted to demonstrate the superior character isties of the Peerless to any one who is interested in fine cars. But the comparison is fairest when made with cars costing as much or moro than the Peerless itself.
 There Is an indefinable something about the new Peerless that is very expressive of the high ideals of the factory organization behind it. One night call 1t the hallmark of quality. for this great car is literally the finest to be had"

ance. It speaking of the new motor T. B. McCarty says:
 "The new series Chandler with the Pfkes Peak motor, newest develop ment of Chandler engineers, is by far the most remarkable hill climb ing car we have ever ridden, in re- gardless of price. We have had in- numerable individuals come to us with wild tales of what the new Chandler was reputed to do and In every instance they had to be shown. Not a single one has left dis appointed or believes after riding in the Chandler that any tale as to hill climbinb ability can be wild. We have accepted all corners and have asked everyone for his or her fla vorite hill and have volunteered to put the new Chandler over that hill in high provided we could get trac- tion. Not single hill has been suggested that the Chandler has not mastered with ease and we are waiting impatiently for some one to suggest some hill that the Chandler will not climb. If there is such an animal we want to know it. We haven't heard of 1t yet The new Chandler pulls so superbly and easily that we will challenge any gasoline car in Birmingham or Ala bama to hill climbing contest, the award to be made by a committee of disinterested parties and full pub licity to be given to each and every challenge and the actual results. Such committee is to examine all cars entered to ascertain that every car is a standard stock chassis and that the gear ratio in each car Is standard and comparable. The Chandler has a gear ratio of 4.45 to 1, pickup of from 5 to 50 miles per hour in IS seconds and an average speed of 60 miles per hour, maxi mum. There will be no alibis, and If the new Chandler Is not awarded the decision full publicity will be given that fact by us. In next Sundays pa- per we will give list of all in- divduals and firms together with the cars entered who accept this chal- lenge and a signed statement of the committee will be published with results of each contest. This is just as broad as we can make 1t and there are no reservations as to price of car or number of cylinders in the motor. We sincerely hope that there will be a wide and varied re- sponse to this challenge as we be- iieve 1t will be of interest to the Bir- mingham motorists to see such comparative test. So bring on your Winners. We're rearin' to go."

Schiller says that notwithstanding the immense strain to which the car was subjected in making the climb there was no time during the ascent when the car doors did not open easily. MT.
