10— KING EIGHT ADD§ LAURELS 0 LIST Makes High Gear Run Which is < the Talk of the Middle West Country. CLIMBS HIGH ELEVATION The eight-cylinder King adds an- other high gear performance to its al- large number of features of this kind staged in the mountains of the west. This time the car was pilot- ed up the steep grades of mountains in Utah out of Salt Lake City. L B, Meers, coast sales manager for the %in& Motor Car company, de- scribel the trip in a telegram to Ar- temas Ward, jr., president of the King r company, as follows: “P. A. Bleakley completed yester- day the most remarkable high gear run ever made \in this part of the country with strictly a King Eight stock car. Negotiated big Cotton- wood canyon from Salt Lake City.to Brighton, all gears sealed in high. e is a continuous pull eighteen miles long, average grade 16% per cent, and as high as 22.2 per cent. The run was made from the starting point to Brighton, a distance of sixteen and eight-tenths miles, in exactly fifty- three minutes, without single stop for water or adjustment. You will under- stand how remarkable this run is when under average touring conditions three hours is considered good time for same run in second and low gears.

Trade Associations That the automobile business is rapidly reaching a standardized mer- chand '&bllil is well evidenced by the of trade ora:iutionl, ac- fi to ?l P. O'Connor of the Supply company. “The manufacturers {\ln long had their Motor and Accessory Manufac- ’ association, the supply jobbers a very strong organization known as the National Association of Automobile Accessory Jobbers, the ¢ ve many national, state and local bodies to advance their mu- tual interests.” g l:e’ Featured in Pretty Window Display The change of the season is given due consideration in the handsome window displays now being sent out by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. The design has already at- tracted much faverable comment and will give a combination of the picto- rial and floral in well-balanced effect. When Goodyear a few years ago established a window display depart- ment and engaged the window expert of one of the big Chicago stores fo manage it there was much comment on the then “innovation.” Goodyear window displays have helped in the making of extremely attractive stores and have aided miz[:tily in the selling of hundreds of thousands of Good- ear tires. All the leading tire manu- facturers now have their window dis- pll“ departments, istaria vines and flowers are used in the festooning that accompanies the grouping of tires in the first fall display. There will also be a painting and other placards—all used as a set- !Qng for sturdy all-weather tread fab- ric tires. Blow to Pacifists, Lendon, Sept. 30.—The newspapers devote & major part of their editorial space to & discussion of the spesch of Imperial Chan- cellor von Bethmann-Hollweg in the R-ichs- tag, contrasting its mild tone with former utterances. The editorials all assert that aalde from the sttacks on England he chan- cellor said little that was new and perhaps disappointed those who expected him to make more extended pesce overtures, New THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 1, 1916.

Foreign Countries Want the Roadaplanes “The Apperson roadaplane is build- ing up a popularity in foreign coun- tries almost equal to that it has won in the United States,” says J. H. De Jong, local representative, At frequent intervals shipments of Apperson roadaplanes - are being started from the Apgenon plant in Kokomo, Ind., to all the neutral coun- tries. Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Central and South American coun- tries have taken the lion's share dur- ing the last month. Just previous to this shipments have been made to Spain and Cuba. “Before the outbreak of the Euro- pean war many of the European and South American countries drew heav- ily on Germany, France and England for their supply of motor cars, Now that this source of supply is cut off the North American automobile man- ufacturers have been called upon to take card of this business sacrificed by the warring nations.” |Good Roads Rooters ‘ Working to Win David City, Neb., Sept. 30.—(Spe- cial.)-~An enthusiastic meeting of good roads boosters was held in the rooms of the David City Commercial club yesterday.
