Purchasers of high grade cars are watching maintenance costs far more closely than ever before. This is one of the points developed by a survey recently completed among owners of the Peerless Eight. “The low cost of maintaining a Peerless Eight is even a more im- portant advantage than we thought,” comments D. A. Burke, vice pres! dent and general manager of the Peerless Motor Car company. “The survey made to discover the element: a] factors that determine the choice of a car, proved this beyond ques- tion. “The man who owned a high-grade car used to be satisfied to pay a comparatively high price to keep his car in good running condition. He regarded high upkeep expense as in- cidental to the greater comfort and That is He has learned luxury which he enjoyed. not the case, today. it isn’t necessary. “No matter how much a man pays for his car, he gets tired of contin ually digging info his pockets for repairs and replacements later. He fs happy only when his car gives him the highest type of service, un- marred by the appearance of trifling mechanical faults and uninterrupted by delays at the service station. “At the Peerless factory, we have always'-worked on the basis that the owners of our cars have the right to expect exceptionally low mainte nance costs. In machining and fit- ting many‘ Peerless parts the mechan. ical allowance is so small as to be practically unimaginable to the lay- man, “Our factory Imit of tolerance on many parts {is considerably under one one-thousandth of an inch. ‘This is close work, but anything that does not hit that mark is immediately rejected unon inspection. “The result of such accuracy in manufacture is decreased wear. This in turn barring excessive abuse and accident, should result In fewer re. pair bills, and the subsequent satis. faction of Peerless owners, which of course, at We are seeking.

It has been Wullding the Marmon automobile for 21 years, and the Present model is the result of con- centration for nine years on a single chassis and engine design. “OTH OM T=COM Humn mre —DMU>H Ze YOU above all must be SATISFIED * It Is Our Honest Endeavor to Turn Out a Job 7 Just a Little Better Than the Other Fellow!

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS MULTIPLYING AT RECORD: PAGE; TAXES APPROVED BY PROPERTY OWNERS After the wheel the second most important factor in civilization is smoothly permanent runways ° for wheels to roll on, whether they be steel rails or graded and surfaced highways. Twenty-three years ago —the down of the motor age—Amer- fea was virtually on a railroad and wagon basis, Wheels for facilitat- ing transportation were in use to as large extent as now, but they were railway wheels to run only on steel rails and wagon wheels for use on dirt roads. Pavements existed only in a tow streets of-the larger cities. Rural hard surfaced roads were unknown. Mud and misery was the lot of everyone seeking spring or fall transportation outside of the cities or away from the railroads, By the end of 1922 there were in the United States 350,000 miles of improved highways—graded drain- ed and surfaced for all-year, all- Weather heavy motor traffic at about 10 times the speed possible under the best 1900 conditions for horses and wagons. The Romans rode fo world domi- nation on stone-paved highways built by thousands of captive slaves. These ancient Roman roads remain today as the greatest monument to that fallen empire, The third of a million miles of permanent highways built by the present generations of Americans will prove its most enduring monu- ment, because countless future generations will forever after main- tain and improve them. They con- stitute one of today's most valuable bequests to future Americans, To the end of 1922 our total na tional investment In improved high Ways was $742,011,599.99. This vast sum covered the conversion of a third of a million miles of mud into a similar mileage of speedy and strong arteries of commerce. They have immensely broadened the work- ing and living and learning area of every man, woman and child in the United States. Just as the railroads have always been a wonderful developer of civilization and progress along its lines, so are these highways that radiate. in every direction from the railroad the great extenders and amplifiers of individual and national growth, They, with the automobile have welded all neighborhoods and all states into one friendly and co-op- erative nation. They have taken the city dweller and business man into the home of the farmer and the miner, and enabled those who create wealth from the soil and within the bosom of the earth to know and deal with their brothers in the cities. All_this wonderfull fusion of Welding 436 West Yellowstone RS Kind > ‘, wmzZOduca ALO w x4 ‘ Phone 2610 classes and interests and communt-| to it belongs the credit for creating ties has been due to improved high-| the need and desire for improved ways, and these in turn are the di- rect result of motorizing the nation. All that America has ever in- vested in automobiles is more than repaid in the dollars and cents in- crease in the earning power and na- tional wealth represented ‘by these highways, And what has been accomplished is small compared with the trerien- dous development to occur in the next 20 years, With an automobile for every other family the demand for im- proved highways is universal and insistent. y Because of this demand and pub- Ue recognition of the incalculable political, financial and social bene- fits that flow from’ highway exten- sion, the federal government ex- tends important financial aia to state highway departments in the construction of important trunk lines. Taxpayers in general are glad to invest their proportionate shares of construction and maintenance costs because of the immediate and con- tinuous benefits that accrue from improved channels of transporta- tion. According to the Bureau of Public Roads the cost of all road work this year will be about $1,000,- 000,000, of which $100,000,000 goes for carrying charges on road bond issues, $240,000,000 for maintenance, and the remainder for construction. By paying $500,000,000 this year for state and federal car taxes, auto- mobile owners will contribute twice the amount necessary for road main- tenance and one-half the sum re- quired for all road work. Since the bulk of the funds spent for these improved highways is de- rived directly from the automobile, highways and also for providing most of the money required for a development of immense importance to every citizen. STUDEBAKER HANGS UP NEW RECORD IN ROAD ANGE IN AUSTRALIA — Speeding across, desert wastes, mountainous roads and rugged mainland, a Studebaker Special-Six touring car has just established a new record in a thrilling race against time from Freemantle to Sydney, Australia, The car was driven by John Bur- ton, a veteran Australian motorist. It went through the gruelling grind of 2,889 miles in five days, 21 hours and 45 minutes. This is 16 hours and 12 minutes faster than the previous record of 6 days, 13 hours and 57 minutes, In addition, Burton drove the Studebaker through to a new. rec- ord in his race, by clipping off con- siderable time between Freemantle, Adelaide and Melbourne. The Special-Six negotiated the entire 2,889 miles under extremely severe conditions and came through in per- fect running order. This new Australian record of Studebaker's comes on the heels of new marks recently established by stock model Studebaker cars in the Syrian desert and in the Union of South Africa. OAKLAND BODY FINISH TESTED Demonstrations Made Throughout Country During the Week. ‘Throughout the nation during the week of March 17 to 22, in ‘Oakland sales rooms everywhere, the special Duco fintsh of the new 1924 Oak- land cars was subjected to probably the most daring tests ever given a body finish—tests that the owners of motor cars with any ordinary finish would undoubtedly term “foolhardy.” More abuse was given the True Blue Oaklands in a week in the showrooms than the ordinary car wauld be called upon to withstand during its life. Among the 10 tests given, prob- ably tre most severe ts the muriatic acid test. Murlatic acid, which will even eat through a strip of metal, was dropped on the Oakland bodies and rubbed over them, After being wiped, it'does not so much as dis- color the finish. Two other extremely abusive tests were made, one with sulphuric acid, and the other with the powerful chemicals of a fire extinguisher. The strongest purchasabie ammonia was dashed on the Oakland cars as well as lime cement.

The slight discoloration is wiped off with an ordinary cloth, without leaving any marring trace on the finish. Hot tar, which sticks to any object closer than its shadow, was rubbed on the cars, allowed to dry and knocked off without the slight- est injury to the finish. Bolling water, mud and dust made up the other three tests. In order to prove that these sub- stances will not damage any part of the body, the tests were not only made on the hood, but on the cowl and doors as well.
