SEND FOR FREE BULLETIN OPEN SUNDAYS 9TO 3 | Dealers Drive Reo Cars Home From Factory "Two hundred and one Reo dealers and tuyers came to the factory at Lansing in one week and drove their cars away." says R. C. Rueschaw. "Fifteen to»twenty dealers a day is the average, and most of them of course come from our own State, Michigan. Xor does the shortage of railway cars alone account for this. Many dealers, and especially buyers, derive a good* deal of pleasure and satisfaction in driving their own car right from the'factory to their home.

They spent a day with us going through the plants and seeing how their Reo cars were made, then drove away happy. I "The best thing about these 'drive aways" is that they are invariably fol lowed by orders, and then some more orders," continued the Reo sales man ager. A visit to the factory—a day of fraternizing with the "Reo Folk" and finding we're just ordinary people with good intent and some rather ex ceptional ability at building good auto mobiles —is better than any other kind of advertisement, and I sometimes think that if. for one year, we could prevail upon all buyers to drive their cars from the factory we need never i pay for any more publicity." Disabled British Soldiers Taught In order that disabled soldiers may have tome good livelihood *fwr the war, and may not even at present be a burden on the community, the British have instituted vocational schools for such soldiers. The illustration taken from a recent issue of the Lrttrster Deify Ptrt shows how some of the convalescent men are being taught automobile engineering. The ' Nobby * Tread Tire which is so much in ertdence in the picture shows the immense popularity in England as well as in the United States of these famous anb-«kid casings. Surprising Strength of Goodrich Inner Tubes TV. A. Parr, a salesman of The B. F. Goodrich Co., at Waco, Texas, was talking with three motorists one morning. As often happens, the mo -1 torists were indulging in a little "kid ding" as well ns in some offhand ; comment upon tires and inner tubes. "Oh," said one of them, "all inner tubes are just rubber! They don't j have to have any strength in them.' What work do they have to do?'" This got Parr to thinking, and he determined on an object lesson. There were four Cars at the door, < and their Owners or Drivers at hisj elbow. To these he said: "Boys—how strong do you think | this Goodrich Brown Tube actully is? "Do you believe it is strong enough) to tow Mr. Oden's five passenger car, I with four people in t, from here for 20 blocks? "You don't eh?" "Well now, here's a bit of a bet I j want to make with any. or all. of you. j "I will bet you a dinner that this! little old regular Goodrich Tube (34x i will not only tow Mr. Oden's car, : | but will tow all three of your cars fully passengered—through the strets for the full 2i blocks (more than a.! mile and a half) —starting and stop-i ping as many times as the crowd , makes it necessary. "I will—if you gentlemen are agree- ( able—line up all four of your cars, right here and now, take three regu lar Goodrich tubes, haphazard out of i their boxes, tie one tube between each i two cars (.which means hauling three j cars on the first tube) and tote you-all i , that way to 'the corners.' "Are you willing to bet a dinner that any one of the three tubes will 'go broke' on the way, or show a flaw! which would leak air, or prevent its being used for its original tire pur pose afterwards? "You are. eh? "Well—the bet's on! "Come along, and you be the Judges." The dinner was a very cheerful af fair. As Oden said afterwards (when put ting up his share of the bet) "you ' could have bet me a million on that. Parr, and I'd have taken you up— even if 1 had to borrow the million. "I don't see how the blamed tubes ever did hold out —especially going up Saco street, under such a strain. "With eight people in the last three cars—and a total load of over 8,800 pounds I sure thought to hear something snap before the second block. "Whaddye put into that brown Goodrich Rubber anyhow, to make it hang together like that?" Fritz said that what puzzled him most was the brown rubber tubes "not being all stretched out of shape after I such a tug. even if they hang together at the finish.' "Look you," said he. "when we re- , leased the load—after the haul —they instantly snapped back into just three-quarters of an inch longer than 1 ;they were at the start! "And that % of an inch they took up !' again in less than two hours' rest." "Well boys"—Bill Parr remarked— ! as he smoothed out a wrinkle in his well-fileed vest, "that'll stop the ar gument about all tire tubes being 'just ' rubber,' won't it? "If the brown stuff that toted all you heavyweights—and your cars—for 21 blocks without a sign of heavy duty afterwards, isn't something more than 'just rubber," like other tubes—then you'd better buy the 'just ! rubber" kind hereafter.

Besides the seven State cham pionships the Great Western Handi cap takes place at Omaha, Neb., and 23 other registered tournaments take I place in other sections of the country. All told, 31 tournaments are listed in ; 20 states. Last, week 31 tournaments were scheduled In 18 states.

Con necticut and Massachusetts each have one. Three Day Shoots The Colorado-Nevada and New York championship meetings continue three days, while the other five are two-day events. The New York championship meeting in all probability will be the I most Important of the State champion- j ; ships; meaning that it will bring out j the greatest attendance, both in shoot-j ers and spectators. The New York ! State Sportsmen's Association has a I membership of 450 clubs, the greatest ! rumber affiliated with any State asso ciation in the country. The individual | membership of these clubs totals in ; round numbers 60.000 souls. Of this, number some 24,500 are trapshoflters. Scarcely a town in New York state is without a gun club. There are 5 3 in and about New York city; 10 In BufTalo, six in Rochester and In ' jjreat many cities three and four. Alii of these clubs, however, are not affll -1 laud with the State aaoclation.

Oden, J. M. Xash, B. A. Fritz and W. A. Parr. May 3rd, 1916. Macauley Now President of Packard Company i Alvan Macauley has been virtually i president of the PackaTd. Motor Car Company for the past two years, and the upbuilding of the Packard organ ization is in his hands, and the respon sibility Is his. Henry B. Joy, the present president of the company, has been working to wards the end of broadening and strengthening the Packard organiza tion to meet the conditions of its very 1 much enlarged business. These con ditions require more help at the top, and the title of president of the com pany will b conferred uon Mr. Mac auley in the near future, at the re quest of Mr. Joy, and with the approv al of the directors, as a well-merited recognition of Mr. Macauley's talent and ability. Mr. Joy will continue to be actively identified with the affairs of the Pack ard Company in the capacity of chair man of the board. This change in titles of the officials of the Packard Motor Car Company is not. in effect, in any degree any change in conditions which have been in effect for much more than a year. Cole Car Has Established Reputation on Race Track One of the cars not seen in the Speedway Races, although it holds an enviable record in speed events, was the Cole automobile, manufactured by the Cole Motor Car Company, of In dianapolis. in 1910, the Cole Motor Car Company figured very prominently in various contests. That year it won the Massapequa trophy at the Vander bilt cup races. On May 5 of the same year. Endicott drove a Cole "30" to victory in the ten mile event at At lanta. Also, in the same year, a Cole 30 took second prize In the speed events at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, on May 1910. a Cole 30 took two firsts at contests in At lanta and on the 19th of the previous month it had captured the 12-mile event at the Los Angeles Motordome. Furthermore, it was a Cole 30 which won the Speedway Championship in the Class "C" event. And. during the same eventful year, the Cole won the economy contest at the Chicago Motor dome. In 1911 Johnny Jenkins pil oted a Cole car to victory in the Cin cinnati road test. "We are not racing for the very simple reason that our car does not have to win another race to make a name for itself." said A. F. Knobloch. general manager of the Cole Motor Car Company. "Its reputation in the racing field is established, so why should we cause any man to flirt with death Just for the sake of adding an-1 other star to the crown of the Cole? In our opinion, life is too precious for such ventures. Moreover, we do not j peed to use that method of acquainting the public with our car. It has been demonstrated In every locality and proved efficient under all conditions. That is a better recommendation for the car than all the Facing in the world. "Of course, with new models, we make it a point to demonstrate them in such a way as to subject them to the most severe trials before they are of fered to the public. For instance, a few years ago, the Cole Company sent its lis the pity for every rod and gun club should be affiliated with the State as sociation. It is the association that is recognized by the State Legislature in the framing of game laws, and every sportsman is interested in measures which pertain to game in the field. The New York State tournament will take place at the Hunters' Club, Syra cuse, June 13. 14 and 15. Idaho on List The Idaho state tournament will take place at Twin Falls on June 12 and 13. Edward Sweeley, once a Michigan full-back, is president of the Twin Falls Club. Sportsmen who at -1 tend this shoot will be treated to mid night trips to the great waterfalls | above Twin Falls. The Vermont state I tournament takes place at Montpelier, on June 13 and 14, and the Coiorado ! New Mexico tournament takes place at the Two Mile High Gun Club, in Victor, on June 12, 13 and 14. This is ' the highest gun club in the world in point of latitude. The Michigan tour nament will be conducted at Battle •Creek on June 14 and 15 and the j North Dakota and West Virginia 'championships will take place on June 15 and 16. j The West Virginia tournament will | be quite a tournament this year. It is being handled by the Elkins Gun Club, | and just to show that the management | is progressive a woman's State cham ! pionship event Is carded. One hundred ' and fifty targets will be trapped each day and on the preliminary day there j will be a number of novelty events, j i one of them being targets thrown , from a tower. Elkins Is a mountain city, cool at night and never very warm in the day, and Is therefore a fine place for a State tournament. H. L. Smith in the championship tourna ment last year broke 100 straight, one of the three gunners who acconipHsh -led the feat during the year, * I Motor Truck for | Quick Delivery Service IF YOU RE DISSATISFIED with the speed of your delivery—or if your custo mers complain: or if, perchance your competitors seem to be gaining on you;— OR IF.

Overland Issues Booklet on Knight Motor Do you know that the shape of the explosion chamber has a great deal to do with the power of a motor? Do you know the advantages of posi tive valve action? Do you know the advantage of hav ing valve openings protected from the heat of explosion? Do you know that quietness of op eration is the truest indication of ab sence of wear? These and a multitude of other questions pertaining to automobile en gines—especially sleeve valve motors —are answered concisely and clearly in a new booklet just published by The Willys-Overland Company—said to be the most complete and compre hensive report ever written on the sub ject. It has been published for the sole purpose of familiarizing people with the advantages of the Knight type of motor. The booklet Is written in plain, every day English. Any layman can grasp the full meaning of its text. At the same time it contains enough val uable information on the operation and construction of the Knight en gine to hold the attention of a me chanical engineer. Over 200,000 copies of the booklet have , been printed and are being dis tributed. Overland and Willys-Knight dtalers, schools, colleges and lecturers are among those who have been sup plied with this treatise on the Knight engine. TAKING WESTERN TRIP Miss Katharine L.
