The Front-Market .Motor Supply
i Company started in business in a ratli
ser small way at Front and Market
j streets just about six months ago. Thev
j have branched out and have progressed
| in a manner which is remarkable for its
development. The increase in business
, is mainly due to the management of T.
! B. Wildermuth. who is now proprietor
i of this accessory and supply store for
the varied needs of the automobile
j owners. Many changes have been
j made in the storerooms since the start j
of business and it now holds an impor-j
I tant place in this city's busiuess deals, j
In addition to the increased stock 1
! necessitated toy the wholesale and re j
tail trade of the company, manv me- i
| chanical features have been installed j
i from time to tiiiie.
Everything that an automobile own- J
J er might possibly need from time to time j
: has been installed. Automobile owners j
who have Stewart-Warner speedometers
j or Bosch magnetos arc now enabled to
! get expert repairing and adjustments. I
I All the floors of the building at River \
i and Blackberry streets are used ex- j
j clusively for the mechanical services.!

j charge of the work,
i They are now sending one of their j
I expert mechanics to the Willard stor
j age baittery plant to 'become thoroughly I
i familiar with the repair of storage |
batteries, for the reason that now some '
of them begin to need repair and it is
proposed to have this statiou service
very complete.
Mr. Wildermuth is well known local
ly among the motor car men and is de
voting his energies to building up a
who lean Its and mail order business, as
well as having a force of assistants
caring for the retail business that is
| attracted to the store. "

Its form then did not differ greatly

warfare as late as 1640 and was deem
ed quite as effective as the arquebus
then employed.

AIL TRANSCONTINENTAL
ROUTES READY FOR 1915
Heavy Travel to the Pacific Coast Ex
, position Early Next Year Is Ex
pected by the A. A. A. Touring In
formation Board
With t'ho exception of sueih slight im
provements as may be made during the
winter months, the principal transcon
tinental routes are now in approxi
mately the shape they will be at the
'beginning of the heavy travel to the
I'atciidc coast exposition oarlv next year.
At least no new projects can be un
dertaken and finished 'before this heavy
travel begins.
ljate reports reaching t'he A. A. A.
touring information board, New York
and Washington, from all quarters indi
cate that the road improvements on the
principal cross-country lines during
1914 have been underestimated rat'her
than overestimated. This is particular
ly the case 011 the western end of the
"Northwest Trail" between Montana
and .Seattle, especially since the former
severe grade of Snoqualmie pass has
'been reduced to a maximum of five per
cent.
The cities, counties and towns on
t'ho line of the Ltincolu highway in the
far west have also made very great im
provements in order to bring that route
to as good condition as possible for
1915 touring. Both the "Trail to Sun
set" and its principal alternate, the
Sante Ke-Urand Canvon-Needles high
way, have not lagged behind the others;
and beginning uext year the tourist has
two complete options 'between Al
buquerque and Southern California,
both of which 'can be traveled with com
fort and safety.
While unfortunately some parts of
the '' All-Southern Koute" are vet in
poor Shape, that line as a whole has
been greatly improved during 1914,
and will not present very serious difli
culties to tourists who "decide to go
leisurely across that way in 19 1, r >, Tiic
A. A. A. touring board has the latest
information 011 all these lines, and is
prepared to confer with tourists on the
routes best suited for their particular
purpose.
Maps ami specific information can
be had either at uational headquar
ters, 4;17 Fifth avenue. New York, or
national eupita.l 'headquarters, R'iggs
building, Washington, D. ('. Parties con
templating cross-country trips in the
spring are es ecially invited to take
lip these subjects with the touring board
during the winter months, w'hich is
often advantageous as compared with
waiting until the actual opening of the
touring season next year.
