The artist and his band has done to the rest and has with paints colors brought country hame witn spacious grounds and inviting roads for a background of this handsome car. Crowds of people, attraeted by the dis- play, are viewing the new model and the work of the artist, and it safe to assume that the “cali of the road” will appeal to all alike.

King Eight Motor Makes First Trip on Chicago Track The Chicago Motor speedway is a real- | ty. The big auto classic scheduled for | Tune 19, will be held, It is the initial trip nade by a King eight can be taken as a riterion, all track records will be shat- | tered. The party that dedicated the oval n a King eight declares the race will be | he mest thrilling in the history of auto- | noblle contestw. | Soon after the last splke was driven at | i o'clock on June 4 C. F. Woods. presi- lent of the King Motor Car company of ‘hicago, accompanied by H. C. Bradfield { the King Motor Car company, De- troit, and Mark Hay, Annawan, I, King. dealer, poked the nose of a new IKing eight onto the board track. Soon the party was speeding up to fifty-five miles .n hour, but had to slow down in front of the grandstands, on account of debris on the track. A fast frack, full of resiliency. two in- ¢lines that give one the {dea of 50 per cent grades, with fine stralght ways on both the front and back stretches are some of | the features of the course. ! The audience can see the speed kings .every second they are on the oval. the ! way it is constructed. The track is bullt for speed. When the workmen saw the King pull on the course they were anxious to see how a car would travel on the incline. When they | noticed the way the King eight held to the boards thev did mot believe it could stand on the top of the incline without | tpping over. | Mr. Woods, however, allayed their fears, when he drove to the top of the | track and opened the throttle until the ! car was under a forty-mile headway There he atopped and held this position | for five minutes. It was one of the most «nthusiastic lot of workmen, 1,500 in num- | that hailed the King, the first car | to attempt the feat. i Comfort of Driver a Big Influence in Selling Motor Car | [ 4 ber, | Front ‘seat roominess and comfort is | (he biggest influence in the purchase of | otor cars listing at below $1000."

Its high speed, long stroke, valve-in-head motor with overhead camshaft de- livers such a steady stream of abundant power that this car climbs hills like a chamots. It has the power of a loco- motive; it gets away like a racer. Come in and let us show you why this car is so diff- erent in construction, ap- pearance, and performance.
