The extent to which farmers are buying high-grade automo- biles is indicated by the result of @ recent investigation. One manufacturer obtained a record of the occupations of 1,643 own- ers, and of this number 231, or approximately 20 per cent are a, riculturt farmers and ranc men, According to the repo filed by the dealers, this is the largest percentage of cars bought by any one class, PRENTICE | ONTHEU.S.L. “It iw great to feel sure of your battery and the Ug... battery is | equal to every demand.” says Rod. | ney Prentice, of the USL Service ; Station, at 1507-09-11 Broadway. |. “Power when you need it is the | UL slogan, | “The storage battery is subjected to more abuse than any part of the Jautomobile equipment.

And the care necessary to insure mainte nance of the car's running condition was reduced to an absolute minimum hru the simplifying of construction and the fixing of such a high stand ard of quality as to do away with the need for frequent attention. “These precautions have resulted most notably in a riding and driving difference, which is the most fre quently commented on quality of Liberty cars and one most apprec- ated by Liberty owners.

Out of the many, many makes of cars offered us | we selected the PATERSON SIX. Some of the reasons for this decision are listed in the next column. Others that appeal to all buyers of motor cars follow: A strongly-financed company builds the Paterson in its modern plant. Many years of experience in motor car manufacture guarantee their product. A service policy that backs up the dealer at every turn in the road. | Some of our reasons for taking on the | line in Washington State: Delco Ignition System. Paterson Red Seal Continental Motor. Bor g & Beck Clutch. Semi Elliptic Springs. Underslung Rear. 120-inch Wheel Base. Full Floating Rear Axle. Full Leather Upholstery. New Stromberg Carbureter. Stewart Vacuum Feed. A selling price which compares with that of many cars lacking 50 per cent of the fea- tures embodied in the Paterson. A finished automobile that has the stamp of class, and one that will arouse favorable comment wherever it appears. A record for faithful service under all conditions that will equal that of any car on the market today, regardless of price or popularity. As the result of these reasons, and investigations made from every possible source, we took the dis- tribution of the PATERSON for the entire State of Washington. Marshall Seat Springs.

At such times it has been found that the fuel construction has been unusually high.
