Gossip
In the Young garage and wrecking
company's shop at Green Point lies an
engine, Ford motor number 111, all
that now remains of one of the oldest
Fords in the west. Its period of use
fulness as the propelling force of a
motor car is at an end. The frame
has been sawed off fore and aft and
the axles and all steel wheels dispos
ed of to some junk dealer as near as
can be ascertained. The car was pro
bably made in 1900, when the Ford
as well as all other makes, was still
in the experimental stage.
So many changes have been made
since this engine was built, that It
would hardly be recognized by those
familiar with the present model. The
fly wheel is in front of the engine and
Its spokes are designed to form the
fan. There is no magneto and the
transmission runs dry, without a cov
er or transmission case of any sort.
The frame is narrow and built very
heavy compared with the present mo
del. And what will become of it? As
long as it hits on all four it will be
utilized in some way. Some riveman
may purchase it for use in a launch as
it still develops ampple power for this
purpose. Many old auto engines are
now seving in this capaicty because
of the simple requirements" for ma
ine engines.
NEW DURANT CAR TO BE
PLACED ON MARKET
The $348 car which W. C. Durant
promised that "he would unveil in
Washington today is on exhibit on
Connecticut avenue in the show rooms
of Harper Bros. W. C. Durant and
his son, R. C. Durant, president of
Durant Motor company of California,
arrived on a special car from New
York to be present at the first show
ing. The product is to be known the
Starr car and is to be manufactured
by the Durant Motors, Inc., under a
contract with the Starr Motor com
pany, which will control the distri
bution in the United States and its
possessions.
In speaking of the car, Mr. Durant
says: "The Starr car has created a
great deal of interest among those
who have seen it. They did not
think that it was possible to build a
car which embodies so manv features
of the higher-priced class to sell in
competition with the lowest-priced car
heretofore on the market."
When the announcement was first
made three weeks ago, m?ny conjw
tures were made concevn:ng the new
car, and have been current through
out the country. The Starr car, as
was expected, iss omething of a sen
sation because it contains so many of
the features that are not possessed
by any other low-priced car.
Mr. Durant has promised a quanti
ty delivery by June 1. Mr Durant
declines to state which ol his five fac
tories will produoa the Siarr car.

PORTABLE RADIO "A" BATTERY
MOST DESIRABLE
The "A" battery on any radio set
must above all other things, supply
current at a uinform voltage rate in
order to avoid the need for continual
reajdustment of the filament rheostat.
Practically all storage batteries be
ing designed for radio purposes are
made as light as is consistent with
high capacity and efficiency. Some
of the smaller "A" batteiers are be
ing equipped with removable heavy
steel bail handles which make carry
ing from place to place very easy.
The Willard Stoage battery com
pany of Cleveland have recognized
the demand for light weight and con
venient handles in tho new all-rubber
radio "A" battery, wnich is now ready
for distribution. The smallest cf
these, having a twenty ampera-hour
capacity, weighs but 25 pounds. The
50-ampere hour size weighs S5 pounds
and the larger size are 5n proportion.
Aside from the handle on these bat
Main, Street at
teries and their much smaller size and
compact construction, they vi-ry close
ly resemble the all-rubber starting and
lighting battery that tUe Willard com
pany introduced to the motorist last
fall.
These are the days when everybody
is fixing up the bus for spring. Jt
seems sort of "peploss"' aitor having
carried yo uthrough die winter. Al
though you have painted it all up so
it looks like a million, it just naturally
don't seem to have ike necessary "wim
and wigor."
Of course about the first thing you
think of when this sad state o? affairs
is revealed is that important part of
its works, the batter. Come to think
of it, it is about time this organ' was re
ceiving a little attention. At once
you hasten to the battery station that
you believe is best equipped to look
it over and prescribe the necessary
remedies. . The expert battery man
that you find there doesn't take long
to re-charge it and give it the neces
sary attention he seems to realize
that these fine spring days every
body is anxious to "get going" so you
are soon on your way. The bus takes
on new life, and feeling the call of the
road, you're off.
Mr. C. R. Hilgers, local Willard deal
er says that at his station they are
all set for an unusual snring business.
The new Willard all-rubbei1 battery
has performed so satisfactorily since
it was introduced to the motoring pub
lic that it has been established as the
logical battery when spring replace
ments are necessary. Some peo
ple seem to know that when their car
is equipped with an, all-rubber they
can enjoy the scenery when they go
rambling this spring, with no- disturb
ing thoughts about whther their bat
tery will function or not

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
I
Better Cars at Lower Prices
Ford Cars have never been as low in Price
Ford Cars have never been as high in Quality
The above statements are absolute facts, and this
principle of giving the Ford buyer the geratest val
ue per dollar invested, is responsible for the remark- "
able growth of our business.
The present selling prices of Ford cars have been
made possible through:
1 Sales of a million cars yearly, which permits quantity production
on the most economical basis.
2 Standardizing on one model over a period of years has made it
possibl to develop automatic machinery for producing parts in
quantities at a great saving in labor costs.
3 The consumption of raw and finished products at a cost of approx
imately one million dollars per day, makes out purchase contracts
most attractive to Manufacturing concerns, and insures our ob
taining the best quality in materials at the lowest possible cost.
4 The financial strength of the Ford Motor Company not only great
ly increases our buying power, but also permits taking full ad
vantage of market conditions. The Company has no bonded in
debtedness to meet and its resources are always available for use
in the development of the business.
