Campbell has taken over the territory of Texas, New Mexiog Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and the Memphis as sales manager. Years ago, Campbell was known as a daredevil racer on nearly every track in the Union. He has driven in Mexico and Canada. Campbell sprang into fame in 1898, when hin Milwaukee steam cir finished sec ond in the famous road race from Chicago to Joliet. At 4 a. m. the five entrants left Chicago in @ fox of dust trickled across the Joliet line. Thruout the long grilling race, Campbell kept ‘his steamer ahead. Two blocks from the fimish line where the judges were holding the blue tape and waving hats and flags at him, the old steamer came ig- nominiously to a stop, puffing and panting! Campbell climbed out on the radistor where he was surround. ¢d by 4 howling mob of excited peo- ie and began caulking the boiler. Women screamed and one man lost his wooden leg In the melee as the other racers drew up. Campbell started his car as a racer whizzed by and made second place! The next day, Campbell went out and hung up a world’s speed record of one mile in 2 minutes, 58 ao onds. The Chicago papers eaid the record would stand for years, The speed was less than 30 miles per hour, which was considered fast in those days, PENNSYLVANIA HIGHWAYS may be widened to 100 or 120 feet, WHEN RATTLES develop in the hand brake, have the brake relined and Grape up tight.

We then turn down pistons to fit. This allows you another overhaul on the same motor, saves time and money, as it is not necessary to buy a new block until the motor has been overhauled three or four times. We guarantee this job the same as a new car.
