So we leave nothing undone to keep your Pierce-Arrow trucks working. We build them as carefully as fine machines must be built if they are to last of right design and the best materials. We test them thoroughly before we sell them. Our interest doesn't stop there. We teach your men to handle them and we inspect them monthly to prevent abuse or neglect. All of our experience is at your disposal. This care keeps Pierce-Arrows out of the shop and on the job rolling up mileage, piling up earnings. That is why Pierce-Arrows are the cheapest trucks to buy why none has worn out in 8 years.

(Ily A. 1'.) The Fort Pitt mine of the Central Coal Company, below Sunnyslde, O,, nenr Ilellnlnc, is under a heavy armed gnnrd to prevent recurrence of threatened rioting yesterday between American miners nnd striking foreign miners. Twenty armed deputies guarded the American", nt work, following an at tempt by the foreigners, numbering more than 200, to keep them from going to work. According to advices received here, the strikers, who aro demanding a six hour day nnd a large wage incrense, incensed nt the American element re turning to vork, tried force to prevent the action. The situation got bejond control of the Ilellnlrc authorities. Sheriff John W. Osborne, of Ilclmont county, sent In n score of nrmed depu ties with instructions to shoot to kill if ncc-csary. The mine employs about 400 meu. The foreigners nre in the majority and upon their decision to strike kept ths Americans idle.

J3th52d & Chestnutz Unusual Room in a Car of Superior Economy 1&-20 miles to the gallon of gasoline, upward of 10,000 rmiles to the set or tires, are usually accepted as low operating costs. And these costs, until now, have been associated only with small cars. In the Holmes Improved Air-Cooled Car they are ob tained as the average enjoyed by owners, in a seven-passenger touring car of unusual roominess and comfort and with speed possibilities of from 3-50 miles an hour . on high gear. The rear compartment of the touring model seats seven ' passengers in exceptional comfort. Three passengers may ride in the rear seat, with ample room for the carry ing of suit cases and bags. In the front seat unusual leg room makes the Holmes an easy car for the driver. The accomplishment of small car operating'cost with large car roominess is made possible by air-cooling with its freedom from the weight and complications of the water cooled motor, a flexible chassis and light weight. The Holmes Improved Air-Cooled motor, with aeroplane type valve construction, eighteen valves all in the head, delivers more power from the fuel; the elimination of heavy water cooling parts permits of roomy bodydimensions without excessive weight in the car; the flexible chassis construction with full elliptic springs keeps pounding, wear ing strains and shocks off the tires. High operating costs are no longer necessary in a roomy car and the price of economy is no longer restricted carrying capacity and cramped discomfort. HOLMES PHILADELPHIA COMPANY 441-451 N.
