The days of the old-fasbienod
drummer" the fat one with a black
cigar and a derby, who used to take
up a lot of the led plush in smoking
ars are numbered. In his place has
arisen the motoring salesman who
.overs his territory in an automobile.
For the motor car has offered trav
eling men a better means of trans
portation. This is especially true of
the ralwman who make- rmall
"mi communities.
These travelers have gem-mlly had j
;i rather small territory to caver j
mall because of the transportation
difficulties. They have made their i
;fipF. in a large number of cases, dur- j
mC the week, returning to some larger:

N'ow they cctn make the same terri-j
fory and more by motor ear. Not only
is it possible to Rhort-ciit with an an- ;
;omobile. making jumps that had to j
. be covered by a longer route on the i
r.-un but the traveler can save many i
hours that formerly were waster wait
ing for the one train that ran daily
i p and down a jerk-water line. The
motoring salesman gets into a town.
"ps his customers and then speds I
i way without, wasting a. minute. j
Of course the automobile fir such j
work must have certain requisites, it j
must be staunch and reliable and it
roust operate at a moderate cost. Kven I

TRUCKS BENEFIT TO FARMERS
,"The far reaching prosperity the in
troduction of titeam had on general
industry is being duplicated by the
use of motor trucks in the agricultural
ivorld," says G. H. Reuben, local Kis
sel dealer.
"Both of these innovations create
greater production of the necessities ot
life, better goods and commodities at
lower prices, higher standards of liv
ing, increased purchasing power and
greater general prosperity.
"The motor truck carries the fruits
of steam application to a successful
finish. It does for distribution what
j steam made possible for production
; dependability reduced costs and a
! continuous means of supply that meet
the source of demand, no matter
, where it oriuiuates."

The opening of the 191!) automobile

I In capturing the Universal trophy.
and setting up a new speed mark fori
the track,- Milton verified the track .
tradition that no driver can win at
Uniontown without making a continu-1
ous run. for he drove a wonderful non-!
i stop race, and at the finish crossed the
line ct a speed better than 100 miles
an hour, lie drove on Goodyear cord 1
tires of the straight side type.
j The veteran, Louis Chevrolet, in a !

order mentioned. Chevrolet, Durant
: and Hitke also finished the race with
i out a stop for any purpose. All the
; finishing drivers piloted cars equipped
! with Goodyear cord tires and Goou
i year tubes,
I The race was not without the usual
; thrills. On the 16th lap Omar Toft.
; driving a Toft Special, threw a wheel
' just after passing the grand stand.
. while travelling 95 miles an hour. In
I a wonderful exhibition of driving and
' skill and daring. Toft brought his
j three-wheeled - mount to a place of
; safety near the inner rail, while the
j other drivers whizzed by. The run
I away wheel, with its tire intact, con
j tinued down the track and took the
i curve beautifully, travelling about COO
i feet, when it took a bound and dis

Only a few seconds later, .the big

around 'the track several times, with
the spinning wheels emitting sparks of
fire, finally crashing into the opposite
rail, without injury to the driver. In
spection showed a broken spring and
a sprung axle, putting the car out of
the running.
On the 89th lap as Louis Chevrolet
was rounding this same urve, his ear
was seen to swerve from one side of
the track to the other, and the crowd
rose in apprehension of a serious dis
aster, but the master driver soon re
gained control, straightened out his
: car and continued on his course. In

STOPPING on a grade is safe
only when every detail of the
braking system is thorough!" de
pendable. ,
The Cadillac has taken what
might be considered unntctuary
precaution!. For example, a small
Pin in the brake rod connection.
The heat trtaimtnt of this Pin in
sures long life and safety.
Thii unusual care upon so-called
"rough" parts is typically Cadillac,
BUOYANT, is the word that owners picturesquely
use in describing one outstanding quality of Cadillac
performance.
In the front seat, or in the tonneau, there actually w a
sense of floating through space.
Mere weight contributes a certain steadiness to a motor car.
But Cadillac steadiness, is the steadiness of substantial,
balanced weight, with a motive power suggestive of wings.
The power of the V-type engine is so great, so constant,
and so fluid in its action, that it triumphs completely over
the inert metals which it propels so buoyantly over the road.
The vigor and life of his car, its constant readiness, ever
and always these are things that help to make a Cadillac
owner the enthusiast he is.
Back of spontaneous delight in a motor car must be an
abiding confidence.
And, of course, even-temper and uniform performance
are sources of lasting satisfaction in Cadillac possession.
