DE VAUX CAR HANDLED BY
MILFORD MOTOR COMPANY

Announcement was made here to-
day by executives of De VauX-Hal
Motors Corporation of the appoint
ment of Milford Motor Company to
merchandise the De VauX through
out the Milford territory.
The De Vaux is a siX-cylinder car
in the low priced field, the product
of De Vaux-Hall Motors Corp, OF
Grand Rapids, Mich, and Oakland,
Calf.
The engine in the De VauX was de-
signed by Col Ebert j. Hall, inter-
nationally recognized authority on
internal combustion engine design,
co-designer of the Liberty Motor,
and formerly consulting engineer to
Ford, General Motors and Ameri-
can Car & Foundry Company.
The Hall engine in the De VauX
car is claimed to be the crowning
achievement of Col Halls remark
able career. 1t develops more than
20 horse power, accelerates rapidly
and produces an even flow of power
at all speeds. 1t is the Hall engine
that is responsible for the eXcep
tional performance of the De VauX
car.
Norman De Vaux is acknowledged
to be one of the outstanding manu-
facturers and sales geniuses OF the
automotive industry. He is a veter-
an General Motors executive. For
ten years, De VauX was President
and General Manager of q large au-
tomobile manufacturing plant on the
Pacific Coast. His factory built and
sold, on the Pacific Coast, more
than 25 per cent of all the cars of
that make that were manufactured
and sold throughout the world.
The organization of De VauX-Hall
Motors, bringing together the mer-
chandising and manufacturing abil-
tiles of De VauX and the engineer
ing genius of Col Hall, makes one
of the strongest combinations in the
industry.
Wherever the De VauX has been
shown, it has attracted great inter
est. While the two factories, locat-
ed at Grand Rapids, Mich, and Oak
land, Calf, are working in an EN-
deavor to supply the demand, orders
are piling up rapidly as the car
gains in popularity.
Local motorists are we'll acquant-
ed with the Milford Motor Company |
who enjoys an enviable reputation |
as a motor car dealer, and it is as ,
sured that they will add to their !
prestige through their activities as !
a De VauX dealer. t

HOPES RENEWED
FOR SOLUTION OF
ARIZONA MYSTERY

PHOENIX, July l8. U,p)-Burn-
ing with the hopes Of finding the
Lost Dutchman" gold mine and
expecting to find the battered body
of Adolph Ruth, 65-year-old anna
teur prospector, with IL, Jeff Adams,
deputy sheriff. and w. A. TEX
Markley, cattleman, returned into
the Superstition mountains today.
With them they took long lengths
of rope with which they will try to
descend into a deep crevice in the
heart of the Superstition range
where they believe Ruth's body Is
to be found. Also in this crevice
they expect to find the phantom
like gold mine.
The belief that the crevice held
the mystery of Ruth's disappearance
and the mine was arrived at after
the two men traced the aged pres
pector to the slit in the earth and
found he had erected mining claim
monuments around 1t. On the brink
of the crevice they found markings
on the rock indicating struggle
had taken place. This led them
to the conclusion Ruth had been
murdered after finding the mine.
They are expected to return from
their search within a few days.
