The MelIntyre Automobile company ex- pects to get in Its new garage at 2208 Farnam street about the middle of next month and will have a great line of cars, consisting of the Welch, Oaklands, Staver “§" and Gleason, Mr. MclIniyre Is in recelpt of a letter from the general manager of the Detroit | United States Rallway ¢émpany, who pur- chased one of these Welch cars in 1902, and which has been In continued service ever since and ‘has traveled upward of 200,000 miles and is still in daily use. Speaking of the White gasoline car yes- terday to Willlam Drummond, A. E. Crosser of Minneapolls said: ““We have been using | the little “Gar” car and have pulled off & number of stunts, and as far as gasoline cars are concerned believe it {s the best thing In the country for the money. With four in the car we drove 100 miles in four and one-half hours over country roads and through wmud, and sometimes we would have to resort to No. 2 gear, never going into No. 1. I was trying to see just how much grief the car would stand. The car is running just as it did when the car ar- rived and is getting the usual hammering and pulling about such as the customer would give & new car.” ‘“The last @ay of Decomber, 1909, saw fitty-five cars manufactured in the old and outgrown plant of the Ford Motor company—the first day of 1910 saw sixty cars shipped from the new Ford plant, at Highland park. The change was made auickly and quietly, without a brass band, & clam-bake or a ball, but nevertheless it was thoroughly donme, and the various departments are already settled down to regular ‘routine," said Manager Gould of Ford Motor Car company. The old factory on be used as a parts factory, tool room and pattern shop. The present capacity 1s 200 complete automobiles per day. In nddition to the assemply plant, & 7Tox862 four-story concrete and glass building, there 1s & machine shop $40x140, dne-story; u shop office building 75x140, four-story; @ power house and a 5,000 horsepower gas | producer plant already bullt, A foundry 200x200 is to be started at once and a three- story 100x300 office bullding will be buflt in the spripg. Other bulldings being planned will soon cover the entire sixty | acre tract, which the Ford company owns at Highland park. The occupation of the néw plant by the Ford Motor should pet mt rest the rumor which has seeured Considerable cireulation, o the effect that the bulldings were unsafe und had been condemued. It js sald these stories were stapted by dis- gruntled contra and cemoht makers In this connection, the report of the build- ing inspector, Dalton Russell Wells, a part of which reads as follows, Is interesting vopy: . ““Phe wvarious floor constructions were tested with & thirty-two and forty-seven -hundredths per cent (32.47%) uniformly distributed overload, which showed a maxi- mum deflecteion of forty per cent (40%) for s'ab, and twenty-six and two thirds (26%%) yer ‘cent for beam ok the allpwable deflec- ton of each ugder a load for which such construction was designed. “The various deflections, under the tests company made, also showed a Kreat uniformity of ' mass throughout the floor constructions, Which iy & strong factor. “These resultants prove without the least doubt the absolute mafety of the strusture for the carrying of the live loads for which the structure was designed.’” The K.

USE SOAP CAREFULLY ON AUTOS One Reason fof Loss of Gloss on Ma- chine Bodies. It properly cared for there is no reason; barring accidents, why the body of a motor car should not look as well at the end of six months' service as it did when first delivered from the fagtory. When a car has lost the first gloss of its outer cover- ing it has not suffered in appearance, but has depreciated somewhat in value as well. Of course, in time, any vehicle will need new painting, but this should be n matter of.years instead of months too often the case. The use of noedless | strong alkall soap In cleaning cars, neglect to wash off the soap and faijure to dry | the varnished surface perfectly are prob- ably responsible for more damage to paint than all other causes combined. As a {matter of fact, neither soap nor water should ever be used on a car above the under sides of the mudguards, except in cases wherg the mud is caked on the lnx]) in large quantities. In most cars the first signs of wear of the painted pnmon ln- variably show on the varnished surfa the engine bonnet.

There are no paved streets where he calls, Before he bought his Ford Coupe he never could compléte his rounds of visits within decent hours. Now he makes more calls in less time and has more time to give éach patient. If you as a doctor want to enlarge your practice and still have more time with your family, there's nothing better than a Ford for the purpose. When you buy, remember a heavy-weight car makes a light-weight pocket-book, that quality, not quantity, makes strength, and that the low-priced light-weight Ford not only is low in cost, but is low in gasoline consumption, tire de- mands and pepair bills. It will go further for less money than any other car manufactured. Just let that fact sink deep down into your thought reservolr, for if you overlook it now and buy a heavy car you will have little chance to forget it later on. One more thought; perhaps you want to buy a car, but feel you cannot afford it. The Inexpensiveness of the Ford will surprise you. It does not require a big bank balance to buy, a large income to keep and a technical education to operate. The average man on ordinary income can easily afford to own a model “T.
