Words Fail Utterly
To depict the sensation you experience when you take your first ride in the new 1915.
CYLINDER
One man sat silently trying to find words to express himself while the car crept up
a 12 per cent, grade without sound or tremor, when suddenly he exclaimed: "It's un
canny, the way the thing glides around."
The supreme motoring experience of your life awaits you when you take your first
ride in this truly remarkable car.
Arrange for an early demonstration.

Paige Maps Out New Route For
Famous Los Angeles; Phoe
nix Road Race
The eyes of the motoring public
! will turn westward November 9 when |
! the Los Angeles-Phoenix road race, |
I known as the Cactus Derby, will be j
run. This will be the seventh annual
I start of the Pacific Coast Classic, and j
1 the victorious driver who pilots his car
j successfully through desert sands and j
up and down the preeiptous mountain |
| trails will be crowned "Master Driver
jof the World." In addition to the title i
! lie will receive a purse of $5,000, a j
silver cup and other awards. I
The route selected will be entirely
! different from any hitherto used. |
Some time ago Leon T. Shettlor, chair- .
man of the racing committee of the I
1 Western Automobile Association, map- ;
ped out a new route using a Paige j
| "36" as a pathllnder. The Paige be-
I haved so satisfactorily in this trying
j work that two others have been en- i
I tered as regular contestants for the
1914 Cactus Derby honors.
The new route, which will be cov- |
ered in three days and is 691 miles'
long, is north of any hitherto used.
It runs from Los Angeles to San
| Bernardino, thence over the Santa Fe,
j Grand Canyon, Needles National High
way to Ash Fork. Arizona, thence
| south through Prescott to Phoenix. I
! r rhe first night control is at Needles 1
just west of the Colorado river and I
i the second night control is at Pres-|
cott. . .
Hero and there splendid highways j
land hard desert roads will enable the j
i contestants to speed their cars to the |
i limit, but other sections offer the i
worst road conditions conceivable.
Only one who has covered the course I
iin a racing car can realize what a
i driver and his mechanic suffer in the
I Phoenix race. Cars start out in per
ect condition and finish with bearings (
, loosened, motor shaky, axles bent,
| truss rods broken, transmission shaken j
out, tires eaten up, brakes worn out. i
: steering knuckles bent and barely |
| holding up under the strain. Oars i
I which start out with a speed of 80 I
lor DO miles an hour reach Phoenix j
with but 40 or 50 miles on tap. But j
' the driver and his mechanic suffer j
too.
At the finish of the Cactus Derby |
the men who have crossed the desert i
in the racing cars are bruised about
the back and limbs sometimes for
days. Their hands are swollen, their |
lips are chapped and bleeding, their
eyes full of sand which seeps behind
the goggles and their feet are swol
len. The factory officials do not know
what their cars go through in that
great race on the desert trail and the
public does not realize what the driver
will have to stand up under to win
the seventh annual Cactus Derby.

MISS HAGER IN STUDEBAKER SIX
The above picture shows Miss Cordelia at the wheel of a Studebaker Six. Miss Hager is among the galaxy o
stars playing at the Orpheum this week in the Moore-Hager vaudeville team. The Capitol building and tin
famous Barnhart statuary were among the points of interest visited when caught by the camero.
End Auto Company in speaking of the
new service feature, said:
"There are up to the present time
very few autoinobllists who understand
what real service on a new car they
buy means. The Studebaker Corpora
tion of Detroit, Mich., claims that ser
vice on a new car is one great sales
help and they ask each and every
Studebaker dealer to originate some
plan of free service to all purchasers
of new Studebaker cars.
"Each purchaser of any Studebaker
or Oldsmoblle model will be instructed
to bring" his car to the service station
NOVEMBER 14,1914. '
each month when it will be gone over co'" ue for a period of one year after
thoroughly and inspected by an ex- the purchase of the car. This is what
perienced mechanic, and if nocessary might be termed as real service and it
oiled and greased. This service will is something that any automobile buy
be absolutely free of charge and will er can well appreciate."
