Case Company Takes Over Road Grader Plant It has just been announced that the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Com pany of Racine has taken over the plant and equipment of the Perfec tion Road Machinery Company, of Galion, Ohio, makers of Perfection road graders, drags and rooter plows. The product of this company has been 60ld exclusively by the Case company for several years. Frank K. Bull, president of the Case company, in speaking of this transaction, says: "We have been im pressed by the demand for road grad ers such as the Perfection company has made for us for several years, and have therefore deemed it wise to take over the actual production of this es tablished firm. Our reason for this Is twofold: First, we naturally want to concentrate all our manufacturing ac tivity at Racine ;and second, it is not Improbable that the great demand for good roads will necessitate an enlarged production, such as we can much better handle here. It is only one of the steps which has marked the logical expansion of this company, which started in making threshing machines for the farmer, and then power to drive these threshing machines. This power development naturally extended into that of power for road work, and so we built our road roller. After the road roller, of course, came other road machinery, which was not so exten sively followed until the logical intro duction of the automobile, which has of course demanded better roads; lience, more road machinery. The product of this company, we believe is peculiarly logical. The development of all its lines has come so consistently one from another to meet the needs of the power using public." The Perfection plant will be moved from Galion to Racine, and the gra"- ers. with many improvements, will be manufactured and sold now as Case graders. The reputation of the Case company for publishing their selling price, and its extensive branch house system, should put this well-known concern in a position to be a big fac tor in road work.

SATURDAY EVENING, Saxon "Six" Beats Train; Frisco to Los Angeles Carrying a message from Mayor Ralph of San Francisco to Mayor Rose of Los Angeles, a Saxon "Six" recently completed an unusual run. Without setting out for any special record achievement, the Saxon was able to beat the time of the fastest trains running between San Francis co and Los Angeles. Qn the return trip from Los Angeles the car covered the distance of 490 miles In 13 Vi hours, taking the coast route, which is considerably longer and rougher than the valley route over which one of the high-priced "eights" recently broke the record. The Saxon beat the "Lark." the Southern Paci fic Company's fastest train, by fifteen minutes. The average gasoline consumption was 19 miles to the gallon. One-half pint of water was all that was used on the rqund trip. The car gave ab solutely no trouble and needed no ad justments whatever. The Sajcon now holds the record for the coast route. The best time pre viously made was between fourteen and fifteen hours. The performance was all the more noteworthy as the pilot of the car was unfamiliar with the roads, and travel ing part of the way at night, had to take conditions as he found them, us ing more than ordinary caution in his driving, making time here, losing time there.along the 490-mile journey, but, even with this hanalcap, pulling Into the southern metropolis with a good margin to the Saxon's credit. Holding the road for mile after mile, the car traveling faster than the United States mail, proved once more than the automobile in competition with the train is as-fast and as safe as the modern railway. Overland to Spring Still Another Great Surprise Following close in the wake of the Willys-Overland Company's announce ment of their model S3 touring car, comes the report that the big Toledo plant Is about ready to place on the market a big, new, powerful car.

The general feeling among those most closely allied with the Overland interests seems to be that this new car will overshadow all previous sur prises sprung by Mr. Willys since his entry into the automobile industry seven years ago. j Chalmers Six-48 [ Now $1550 | I Big Seven-Passenger 1 E H G 1 5 AT last you can get one of the biggest motor cars on the market at the price /-\ you have been considering —one of the most luxurious motor cars made by one of the great leaders of the higher-priced motor-car field. m At last you can get a car at a reduced price that hasn't one bit of value taken I out of it.
