"I was going through a big automobile factory and every once in while I heard a foreman say, 'what does the bible say about that!' "f)f course my curiosity became aroused after a while and I asked the official who was with me what all this talk about the 'bible' was. He smiled and took me over to a great big book, one of the biggest and fattest that I ever saw outside of a museum. "It was the- shop 'bible' or instruc tion book on automobile building from A to Z and in all uiv career as an automobile exeprt I must say that I never saw anything like it anywhere. Every operation was detailed down to the minutest point. And after a de scription of each operation was the one word—'inspect.' And that word 'in spect' appeared thousands of times. "I never saw such inspection any where. We are accustomed to look on inspection as a once-in-a-while necessity but in this plant were enough inspectors to man an ordinary factory. And they were right on the job with microscopes and delicate measuring instruments to make sure that every piece was just like its mate." The factory in question is the Chalmers Motor Company. Mr. Morton has just placed another order for Chalmers ears and expects to receive them early next week.—Adv.* PULL BOY FROM TANK CAR Heroism of Companions Saves Selins grove Lad From Asphyxiation Selinsgrove, Pa., May 15.—Heroic work on the part of his 14-year-old com panions saved Robert Hartman from being asphyxiated in a tank car here yesterday.

Only a satisfactory product can have an established growth and the remarkable development of the Excel i sior motorcycle business is one of the greatest proofs of the serviceability of our machines. Beginning with a small output in the latter part of 1907, the demand for Excelsior autocycles has grown so great that the company was last year compelled to put up an en tirely new plant at Chicago, 111. "This building is of reinforced con crete throughout, six stories high with a frontage-of 600 feet and a depth of 123 feet. This enormous building is used for the production of Excelsior autocycles only, and is equipped throughout with the most modem ma chinery for the economical production of the various parts of our motorcycle. "To provide power for both heating and ventilating plants and the great volume of machinery required, a sep arate power plant, 100x50 feet, and two stories in height is located within a short distance of the main building, access to which is by a tunnel, under a private railroad track running to the shipping and receiving rooms in the main building."—Adv.* ft CREST CfIRFORIiIE PRICE The Herff Brooks Automobile Is a Wonderful Piece of Mechanism As a Whole i j J.

Front Street RIVERSIDE AUTO CO. UNUSUAL KBCOUO Visiting motorists often express surprise at the asphalt roadway on the Market street bridge. Of course asphalt is the ideal surface for any bridge, although it is much more ox pensive than aiiy other roadway as to iirst cost. But the expense is not the reason that few bridges have asphalt. It requires a very strong bridge to car ry such a roadway, which is laid on plates supported by steel joists, and is calculated to last as long as the bridge. lu this connection it is interesting to note that the Market street bridge has never been closed for repairs in the last ten years, except for the paving of the island roadway, which was fin ished in eight and one-half working days. And last month, the whole road way was put in excellent condition in two ami one-half days, without in terfering with traffic.—Adv. Ask for Pink's draught Pilsener.
