CARS USING TWO
MOTOR HORNS
Exhaust Type Popular, Says
Supply Company Manager

Auxiliary motor horns are in high
favor right now among motorists
thruout tho country.
The chief reason for this sudden
rise TO popularity OF the additional
warning signal IS due 20 tho similar.
i,y in tone OF all electric horns Tho
voice OF the standard horn Is not dis
ilnctive. consequently warning Sig
nails with new and different tones
are being sought.
Dependability. too, is one OF the
requisites OF a warning signal and
as electric horns are not always dc.
pendable. and sometimes fall TO op-
crate at tho time needed. most OF
the auxiliary horns purchased are OF
the non-electrio type.
One Of the most popular horns OF
this style. according 20 W. III.
RohlIng. local manager OF the West.
ern Auto Supply company. Is the
Aermoro exhaust horn. This signal
utilizes the waste power from the
exhaust. and has no mechanical or
electrical attachments 70 get out OF
order. II is attached TO the exhaust
pipe. and is controlled from the dash.
The Aermorc is built on the pipe
organ principle. with four notes
tuned TO give a rich. harmonious
chord that Is different from any
other automobile signal. The clear,
musical notes have a bell-ilke quail.
Ivy that forces thru other sounds
and carries an amazing distance"
says Boiling.
Another distinctive feature Of this
signal is the regulation OF sound vol.
ume. There are many times when
a horn Is needed to sound note Of
warning a long distance. This IS
especially needed when travelling In
the mountains, as driving safety calls
for warning signal with a long car.

There are numerous occasions
when a horn OF the opposite type is
nesded-one that win give warning
In a soft, low tone Pedestrians
crossing the street or children intent
on their play must be warned with
out being startled. or disaster may
result. Here, again, the Aermore
satisfactorily meets tho occasion.

"Stay away from that town. It's a
dead one"
DO you want that to be said of
your town? OF course you don't. for
you wish, as matter of local pride. If
for no other reason, to nave your
town stand high in the estimation of
the world. But are you sure that you
are doing everything In your power
to place your town in the position
which you wish to occupy? That is the
Question that every person should ask
himself or herself at frequent inter-
lvais.
When things are running smoothly.
when times are good, and when il is
fairly easy to make a good living for
the wife and Riddles, it Is so easy for
a man to forget that these things do
not come to a town as q matter of
course, but are the result of the
fright kind of effort ON the part of the
lcitizens Of the community. 1t is so
leasy for a man TO grow careless and
think that because this condition ex-
lsleu II VIII commune TO exist without
|any effort on his part or that of the
Iother residents of the community.
THAT Is why 1t is important for every
lone to stop and think seriously once
In while about what 1t would mean
to him If the prosperity that makes
life worth living for him should take
wings and fly away.
Nobody Loves a Dead Town.
Nobody likes TO live in a dead town.
No one even likes to visit a dead town.
That is why you sometimes hear that
warning, "Stay away from that town.
It's dead one" The town which has
the reputation of being a dead one suf-
fers as if from pestilence. Bust
ness men seeking new locations will
have none Of it. The live travelling
salesman. even, win give it a wide
berth. Those who live in it will get
away If they can.
When town is live and prosperous.

What sort of town do you want Il

that question. You want to live in tn,

Answer Easily Found.
The only question then is as to how
these prosperous conditions can BIZ

easiest thing in the world to find the
answer to that question.
If the people of a community will
keep their money at home and keep IL
In circulation among themselves, they
need have no fear of ever being com
PEELED to live in a dead town. If the
people will patronize their own bust
ness men instead of sending their dol

prosperity of the community will take
care of itself.

is the taxes paid by the storekeepers.
to a large extent, that make possible
the public improvements, the fire pro-
lection, the street lighting and the
many other things which make a town
worth living in. The mail order house
does not pay any taxes in the town
from which it gets its money. It does
not help TO support the schools or
the churches. 1t does not help light
the streets or maintain the fire de-
partment. 1t Is the aim of the mail
order houses to drive small town mer-
chants out of business, SO that the
people will be compelled to send to
the cities for their merchandise and
they are spending thousands of dol
lars every month to accomplish this
purpose. If they should succeed, who
would pay the taxes that are now

certainty that the mall order house
would not pay them.
