12 Studebaker Blue Book of Prominent Buyers "The selection of an automobile by people of high standing and sound Kgment lo an obvious Indication of style and quality of that automo btle," la the terse Introduction to the •tudebaker Blue Book of Promi nent Buyers" now being placed In Bie hands of interested motor car buyers by Studebaker dealers. This Interesting and profusely 11- lostrated book offers the strongest indorsement ever given to any man- Ofacturer of automobiles. It Is proof positive of the recognition of a sound value In motorcars by men who know. Listing the names and ad dresses of nearly 5,000 nationally known people who purchased Stude bakers during the Prominent Busb ars' Day campaign, it reads and has HI the earmarks of a complete vol ume published to show "Who's Who knd Why In the United States." It will be remembered that De cember 4, 1916, was set aside by the great Studebaker dealers' organiza tion throughout the United States as prominent Buyers' Day. On that day every Studebaker dealer, a few hours after tho announcement of the new Series 18 cars, set out to sell eome prominent man in his com munity. Never in the history of the motorcar industry was there ever undertaken a more stupendous sales drive —and never has there been re corded such tremendous response In BO short a space of time. Names and pictures of such fam -008 and prominent figures In the life of the nation as Joseph G. Cannon, member of Congress and ex-speaker of tho House of Representatives; Jo eephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy; James B. Forgan, president of the First National Bank of Chicago; Dr>C. E. Welch, Grape Juice king snd captain of industry—and thou sands of others equally as prominent and well known —are to be found in the Studebaker Blue Book. These prominent people, keen judges of quality and value —shrewd buyers all of them —know the name of Stude baker so well, and all that it sym bolized, that they were willing to place their order for the new Series 3 8 car without even so much as the Not Cheap Lee Tires are NOT cheap—you 4 can buy many others that have a lower first cost "But if you figure out the cost per mite you will find , that Lee Tires are exceedingly low / price you to use. /H__ 7?

Nash Wows Acres of Gardens For Employes Nash employes are to be enlisted in the nation-wide light against food shortage and high prices, if they take advantage of the offer made them by C, W. Nash, president of the Nash Motors Company. A great va cant plot of ground, belonging to the Nash Motors Company, and as much other land as is necessary to fill the applications, will be plowed and harrowed at the company's ex pense, then divided into garden plots and apportioned free to each em ploye who will agree to plant and care for a garden this summer. This offer was enthusiastically re ceived by the three thousand em ployes who heard Mr. Nash's talk. The garden committee received five hundred applications for gar den plots. Mr. Nash spoke as fol lows : "Every one of you have read in the daily papers the great need of; this country for more foodstuffs. That means bigger crops; more acres planted. It means that every fence corner, every tillable foot of soil should be plowed and planted this spring. "Heretofore, we have only had to feed our hundred millions here at home, but now It is up to us to sup- j ply to our allies abroad food as well, j "Every one of us shoukl have a ! garden; and insofar as we are able, we are going to make it possible for each of you to have one. The Nash Motors Company owns acres upon j acres of vacant ground that should I be planted this spring. We will have this land plowed and harrowed at our I own expense and to every man who will agree to plant and care for a I garden, we will allot a plot of this ground for that purpose." 1 j East Youngstown, Ohio, proposes to put an end to motor speeding in the city and vicinity by hiring an expert motorcycle riser and paying him on a commission basis for all arrests made, according to the plans announced by Mayor W. B. Cun ningham. The police force of Bridgeport, Conn., has a flying squadron which makes use of a motorcycle and side car. It's a hurry up squad of blue coats that has given a fine account of itself during the past year, espe cially during the few days preced ing the last election when the squad 1 was rushed off to various parts of : the city to break up unlicensed I parades which verged on riots. : The machine used by the squadron lis a 1 larley-Davidson with sidecar, j and it carried, as a rule, three men, although it has on occasion been pressed to carry four and even five. During the year the outfit has cover ed better than 20,000 miles. It is used on all sorts of traffic duty, com plaints, and also answers all fire alarms in the city, being equipped with ropes for fire lines, as well as crowbars, Pyrene extinguishers and an ax. As a result of the showing made by this single outfit, the Bridgeport po lice department has placed orders for two more outfits for use during the coming season, as well as five solo motorcycles. A neat little tire rack for attach menfc to the rear of a motorcycle sidecar, and a small paltform for carrying bundles, is the latest de velopment for motorcycles, Now (he owner of a motorcycle and sidecar outfit js in the same class with his big brother automobile driver and can carry his luggage on the rack, similar to that which is equipped on the most expensive four wheelers. The increase in popular ity of the motorcycle and sidecar for touring purposes has made it neces sary for some arrangement for carrying clothing and camping equipment. A motorcycle and njdecar outfit HARRISBURG jS|I&E TELEGRAPH demonstrated that it was a valuable transportation medium for local post office work recently at Marin ette, Wis., when George H. Erickson, because the department would not allow him extra compensation to cover the maintenance cost of his Harley-Davidson and sidecar, decided to go back to the horse and wagon methods. It did not take the postal officials long to recognize the su perior advantages of the motorcycle, however, and they • came to Mr. Erickson shortly after and asked him to put back the motorcycle and BE PREPARED For Yonr Summer Vacation.

Each one of the police machines is equipped, not only with a pulmotor for first aid treatment of a person either overcome by gas or other forms of suffocation, but also with a complete first aid kit. The police department also is try ing out In various precincts a type of machine fitted with a third wheel attachment which is used success- fully by eighteen specially detailed policemen who will be kept on duty all the year round, instead of with drawing them in December each year, and continuing in the spring. Besides affording extra protection I INLAND 1 PIECE PISTON RING - A Message To Car Owners The Inland Piston Ring is a marvel of simplicity and efficiency. It is made of only one piece, yet it has all of the virtues of both eccentric and concentric construction and none of their disadvantages. It is made of the highest grade cast iron which has the elasticity and spring that will aways insure the proper position against the cylinder walls and yet is soft enough to take the wear instead of allowing the cylinder walls to take it. ' Being of one piece and very strong the Inland is much easier to put on than the ring of more than one piece and it will not break as others do. SIMLA?
