W. Shank, who handles Maxwell cars locally. During the month of May, stock Maxwell cars have been put through various paces along the Pacific coast and In every instance have established records that proclaim dependability, strength and the all-important item of economy.

In this class are Vacuum Cups—tires that give an actual service in excess of even highest expectations; that are guaranteed not to skid on the slipperiest pavements and guaranteed —per warranty tag —for 6,000 Miles Myers Accessory House Cameron and Mulberry Streets SATURDAY EVENING, when he drove a car from Oakland to San Jose, the speedometer showing 46.6 miles when the engine stopped after, consuming its supply of one gallon of j gasoline. In connection with McNamara's per- i formance, a report comes from Seattle i that a Maxwell touring car made the run from Seattle to Tacoma on a gal lon of gasoline. A distance of 43 miles was registered and the car carried five I adult passengers and two children. The Maxwell gained added glory by j breaking the trail to Lake Tahoe, mak- ] lng the run three full weeks before the earlies arrival of any previous sea-| son. This performance Is all the more re markable in that the snowfall in the j Sierra Nevada mountains during the | past winter was the heaviest since 1899. The Maxwell made the trip to] California's most famous mountain lake 1 without any aid save that furnished by its own engine and Its hardy crew of four men. In many places the snow was piled fifteen feet deep, but the car came through without being buried once. The ! success of the venture was due in large part to the ability of the car to ride the heavy drifts instead of breaking through them as was the case with heavier cars in past seasons. Mr. McNamara's latest economy test I was observed by representatives of the I Lincoln Highway Association and the San Diego Fair, while the automobile editor of the Oakland, California Tri bune inspected the speedometer gears, the carburetor, etc. Speaking of the economy test at Seattle, one of the newspapers there said: "Seattle has been the scene of nu merous economy trials, which have aroused much interest among motor en- [ thusiasts. but a new chapter was re- 1 corded, when a 1916 model Maxwell touring car. carrying five adults and two children, traveled from Seattle to Tacoma on a gallon of gasoline. That the performance was not an accident was demonstrated when the feat was repeated on the return trip. The dis tance from the Seattle Automobile i Company's building in Seattle to the i Logan Garage in Tacoma Is forty- j three miles, which gives the Mxwell a record for phenomenal gasoline econ- j omy.' 1 AUTO STORAGE— First class, fireproof garage open day and night.

Garage TOURING POPULAR VACATION SPORT Reo Sales Manager Says De mand For Sixes Is Unprece dented in Motor History There's only one way to account for the tremendous demand for Sixes, and especially Reo Sixes, this season," says R. C. Rueschaw, Sales Manager of the Reo Motor Car company, "and that Is that Mr. Average Buyer is. from past experience, extra cautious about the car in which he and his family ex pect to tour this season. "With the actual opening- of the touring season—ana we always look upon Decoration day as the opening day—people appear to have stopped looking for novelties and gotten down to brass tacks in the selection of tour ing cars. "We thought the demand of the last two months could never be surpassed, but with the approach of Decoration dealers everywhere beseeching us for more cars, and especially for Sixes. "Chicago and New York, the ,vo blase centers, are usually apathetic at this season. Perhaps I should not say 'apathetic' but simply normal. There is not so mucn fluctuation in | these two large centers as there is, : naturally, in smaller places and in the rural districts where so much depends upon road conditions, farming oper ations, etc. "This year, however, the same im pulse seemed to strike the two big villages at the same time, and by rare coincidence I received on the same dav telegrams from our New York and Chicago distributors each asking for "a trainload of Sixes" to be timed so as to reach these metropolis just ahead of Decoration day. , "Whaddaya mean trainload!" I | asked, feebly, while trying to catch my breath. Of course a trainload might be anything that one locomotive or four locomotives could draw. We | finally compromised on as many cars as 1 felt we could, in fairness to our | other distributors, let these two cen | ters have, and we hope to satisfy, at ! least in part the big Decoration day demand. j "There's a funny thing," continued the Reo sales manager, "Decoration ; day is to motorists what Easter is to j the ladies —the motorist who cannot appear on that day with a spick and jspan, brand new car doesn't feel as if h ®, s ' n It- In that regard he's like milady, who feels she's lost half her : life if she can't appear in the Easter I parade in her new bonnet. "There's a good deal of logic back iof the automobile end of it, however, because most buyers nowadays are people who have owned and driven cars before, and, with excellent judg ment they generally use the old boat through the winter and until the roads get good in the Spring. Then they sell it, trade it in or keep it for a "second best" and buy a new one for the touring season. "At this time more than any other, we find the qualities for which Reo stands—sturdiness and reliability— are the most appreciated. Few mo torists desire excessive speed and more of them value "staying qualities" i rather than "quick get-away." At least that's our experience, and the tremendous demand for Reo Sixes this year is evidence to my mind that buy ers are more than ever cautions and less prone to take chances in their I selection of automobiles. "One thing is certain; there'll be more touring this year than ever be j fore. People can't go to Europe, and while a few may go to Alaska, ; seems to be most of them will stay in the States, and, naturally, touring will be the real thing this year. "We have wonderful hills and roads and scenery—wonderful National parks and places of interest that would take not one year but life-time to see. I think Americans will make a virtue of necessity this year and tour their own country. And once they have gotten the habit they're bound to continue it. "This year's demand seems to he for roominess in the car more perhaps than for any other quality, save that of dependability. "I know that when I go for a trip I wajit to take along a lot of fishing tackle and other paraphernalia in case I happen to pass a shady pool or piece of rapid water that looks like ly. Others are partial to the golf sticks, and still others to the gun, while the dog-tent isn't an uncommon part of modern motor equipment. Peo ple who once become addicted to out of-doors are liable to go to any I lengths—and the further they go the more they seem to like it. "If you'll study the average buver nowadays you'll hear him insist upon plenty of room in his touring ear. be cause he knows from past experience that it takes the joy out of life to tour In a car Into which you have to be put with a shot horn. Nor does ho want his baggage piled on top of his feet or confined to a small space in the rear of the tonneau. "Our sale of Sixes this year is 200 per cent more than that of last year, and that's a pretty good indication of which way the wind is blowing. And this Decoration day's demand looks us if the wind has developed into n cy clone. "But for the fact that wo were able a few months ago, to obtain by paying a slight premium, sufficient ma terial to make an extra 3,000 Sixes, I dread to think of what would have been the condition at this moment. • "The life of a sales manager Isn't a happy one when the demand is either too little or too great, but as between the two I believe I prefer the under demand.

National Highway Name Recognized as Trade-Mark 1 Papers have Just been Issued by the ! United States government patent office at Washington to the National Motor Vehicle company of Indianapolis by which the government recognize* as a : registered trade-mark the name "Na tional" and the name "Highway" as, , used In connection with automobile*., ' By thla patent office registration the National company la now guaranteed that the name National or the mime Highway cannot be appropriated anil uaed In connection with tht> name of, ! any other automobile. "A long ea tahllshed name and registered trade mark." said J. SC. Davidson, of Penna. Auto Balea Co., Harrlaburg, distritm tora of National cart, "la now con sidered to be a vital aeaet by some of the most reliable manufacturers of the country. Names and trade-marks are placed upon gooda In order to Identify them, thereby fixing the re- I aponalbllltr for their quality. A trade mark la the guide which enables the purchaser to repeat every satisfactory , buying experience.

He knowa that If he doean't the first sale wll be tola last." i That there la "•umethtrif in * name" was best evidenced to the of ficials of the National factory by the popularity of their "Highway" 12- cyllnder cars. One year ago tho public never heard of a U-cylind«r oar, and immediately after the Nation al company announced it. they receiv ed orders from practically every State jof the country. This would not have been possible unless the buyers be lieved absolutely that the word "Na tional" was enough guarantee.
