SEE THE NEAREST AUTHORIZED ' FORD DEALER -ESSEX SALES ARE TOLD For the second consecutive month this year, Hudson and Es sex tuoior car sales In both the city rt San Francisco and the slat of California, totaled second to none, except the two lowest priced four-cylinder cars. This was the announcement made following a tabulation of motor registration figures, which have Just been released by Motor Registration News for the month of February. This Indicates not only the tre mendous popularity of the llud-son-Kusex line, but also response of the buying public to Hudson's original idea of producing a high quality car at open car cost, de clares Hoy Catching, local Hudson-Essex dealer. He says further, that this Idea was pioneered by Hudson in 1921, when tlreir first coach was pro duced to sell at only J 100 more than open car price. Since then steadily Increased production, to gether with their policy of mak ing no yearly models, has enabl ed til's Hudson factory to gradu ally reduce their coach to a re markably low price level, accord ing to Catching. Essex, the light car, has had a corresponding development, now selling for i0U less than it listed at in 1921. It must bo remembered to be gin with that while Hudson-Essex conceived the coach Idea, they were not merely content to let sonraone else develop the Idea. They have already built and sold over 215.000 cars of the coach type. As a result they have a background of experience behind them In building this type of clos ed car that Is not remotely ap proached by any other manufac turer. -0 butes the following interesting outline nf Studeuaker's continu ous rapid strides forward since 118. "Sales of more than 39.000 cars In 1919 showed an Increase of 65 per cent over 1918," states Burr. "In 1920 they were 61,000, an In crease of 81 per cent. In 1921 taey were 66,600, an Increase of 29 per cent; In 1922, 110,200, a gain of 65 per cent, and In 1923, US, 000, a gain of 82 per cent. The sales In 1923, the last year for which afflcial audited figures are available, were 269 per cent over 1919. "With the fourth quarter of 1924 ended, the largest fourth quarter In the company's history, sales for the last year were brought to considerably more than 110.000, the largest for any year since 1919, with the excep tion of the record year of 1923. "In addition to having a larger percentage of Increase than any other automobile manufacturer, the Studobaker company has an exceptional Investment, In plant and equipment, of 170,000.000. o 'S HAS BEEN ORDERED L. F. Wilson, proprietor of Wil son's Tire Shop, announced oday that he has ordered equipment for repairing balloon tires and will have the first shop in Southern Oregon equipped to do this work. Balloon tires must be repaired on a much different principle than the high pressure tires. When the tire leave the factory the outside rubber is cured to exactly the right degree, and when a repair is made to the cord on the inside heat must be applied on the Inside and not the outside. With the high pressure tire the beat is applied on the outside and allowed to penetrate, but with a balloon this would injure the out side rubber. The new equipment consists of heating units which fit Inside the tires applying the neces sary heat directly to the spot being repaired. For outside repairs small electric plates corresponding to the size of the patch will be used, bo that I the only material cured will be the new rubber inserted in the spot being fixed. Mr. Wilson states that he has or dered complete equipment to en able him to do all kinds of repair work on all sizes of balloon tires, and that he expects to be able to handle this kind of work within three weeks. This is the first plant of Its kind south of Portland, Mr. Wilson states, but because of the great number of balloon tires now being used In this vicinity he felt justi fied In going to the expense of equipping his shop to handle this kind of work. Balloon tires, because they are made thinner than the high pres sure tires, suffer most from stone bruises, he states, and heretofore renafrs rntilri nnt hA miria hut n. are failing to excerclse proper 25 oer cent of the tires now helm keeping nails, glass, gold are balloons, he feels that i 25 Miles toihe Gallon 58 Miles per Hour 515 Miles 8 Seconds ' Although .everyons, m greatly Interested in the vast amount of building now going on in Rose burg and pleased by the indica tions pointing to a banner year from the standpoint of construc tion, yet motorists are finding that the program of Improvement It not without drawback. Punc tures are now the most popular outdoor sport with motorists now adays, and tire men report the sale of new casings and tubes hitting the high peak. In several of the many building operations throughout the city contractors Never before has there been an organiza tion capable of producing at anywhere near the low Maxwell price such (peed and power, economy and absence of vibration in a 4-cylinder car. Chrysler engineers have combined with un precedented smoothness a speed of 58 miles per hour and a flashing acceleration of 5 to 25 miles in 8 seconds. They have engineered into this motor a gas oline economy of 25 miles to the gallon, and an "upkeep economy which brings replace ment and repair costs close to the zero'mark. We are eager to prove these Maxwell facts in a demonstration drive.

CARTER'S Tire Shop Whpre Did Wheat Originate? We are not sure, but it was probably a wild plant on the mountains north of the Holy lands. It was first gathered by wild primitive man, and then gradually brought in to cultivation. It has been known long before the be ginning of history.
