i I-ast Week for Loan and In
'. crease Due Tills Week.
BY PAIL T VV.VT.V
Patriotism ran high around automo-
oiie row last week, and the shop boy
me stenographer, the mechanic, the
Salesman, the hnAVtAanA, 1 !.
thl chauffeur or the shop foreman who
""" possess at least a fbO Liberty
Uond was rather much of a rarity. Of
course, the committee men and their
jieuienants missed a few, so there will
oe a general rounding: up of the over
looked this week, and it's more than
likely that "the boys" will have placed
ucib wr du,uuu worth of the second
iriberty Loan before the drive is over.
Buying Liberty Bonds wasn't the onlv
evidence of loyalty. F. v. Vogler,
j.i ciueii l ul me nortnwest Auto Com
pany and the chairman of the automo
bile dealers' T.lhArtv
trained his heaviest guns on the drive
anil announced. Dy way of page news
paper advertisements, that he would
take Libertv Hnn . 1 f n,.HMnk4i-

or truck new or second hand in his
iiiace.
Faith Shown In Hnn.1
It seems that the wily Commodore of
i,oiumoia stole an opportune march
on his. compatriots. So far as is known,
the Cole-Reo -liort - Marmon - Indiana
Duplex distributor was the first auto
mobile dealer in the West, at least, to
STive such substantial testimony of his
faith in the Liberty Loan.
Mr. Vogler not only believes that Lib
erty Bonds are a good investment, but
lie thinks they're worth a bit more than
the market price. Anyway, along with
his offer to trade automobiles for
them, he announced that he would pay
a premium of 5 per cent for the bonds.
It was necessary for the automobile
committee to submit a partial report
of its success at the Friday noon meet
ing of the general Liberty Loan meet
ing, so the figures herewith do not rep
resent the final total.
In C. M. Menzies, manager of the
Northwest Auto Company, and M. O.
Wilkins, president-manager of the
dealers' association. Chairman Vogler'
had two especially hard-working lieu- I
tenants. With thi fn.r.r,-I,(nr. I
tually every dealer and by drafting
several salesmen, this duo was able to
report I43.S50 worth of bonds sold.
There were several inoirint ..
campaign particularly worthy of note.

NATIONAL 12 HERE
Manley Auto Company Gets
Latest Model From Factory.
EASY STEERING IS FEATURE
Smooth Riding Qualities, Power,
Quick Pickup and Freedom From
Vibration Make Car One of
Distinction in Any Company.
The new National Twelve has come
to town. The JIanley Auto Company
received a demonstrator from the fac
tory last week and the car is one that
any motorist would delight to own.
Accompanied by R. S. Kllis. special
factory representative, L. Y. Billinss
ley. of the Manley Auto Company sales
force, took thA Xntlnnal ...

spin. The car was a revelation in onsv
riding' qualities, quickness of pickup,
smoothness of operation and power.
In fact, taking a ride in the new Na
tional Twelve might almost be com
pared to riding- on velvet. There is no
vibration from tho Kmnnth.r, ,i
pylinder motor and the rough spots in
are laKen up by cantilever
flprinjrs swnnc nv- a ...
and by shock absorbers.
One feature of the National which is
tional Twelve takes to hills without
apparent effort.
The aMnnal liaa nli.'nt. J
tinctive in design and few alterations
in this respect have been made since
intrivc was miroaucea early ir
1913. The new model has all the prin
cipal features of the oriirin.il twelve
but there are a number of alterations
in the engine that give considerably
increased power and, particularly, an
even more noticeable hich nhiiitv
a-t low car Frjeeds.
Among these changes are an increase
m toic irom to i lncnes, tne
stroke remaining 4 . fnfhoa nc Hfn,.A.
a new intake system with a "hot spot";
a counter-weighted crankshaft with
larger bearings and a detachable cyl
inder head. The oiling system is also
improved and there are some other de
tail changes.
The chassis in which the new engine
is litted is identical with that of the
previous twelve model, one of the out
standing features of which is the long
and flat cantilever springs, with which
the National has been equipped for
nearly four years. The car comes in
three principal body styles a seven
passenger touring car. a four-nnes-
enger sport type phaeton and a four-
passenger roadster with clover leaf
seating.
Tires are 34 by 4 inches.

Cadillac Kaar His Name.
Cadillac is a good old name. It orig
inally belonged to that hardy French
man who' guided his handful of men
through the wilderness to the spot
where Detroit now stands. Later It be
came much more widely known as the
name of a motor car.
It so happens that Harry Kaar is a
member of the firm of Snyder & Kaar,
who represent the Cadillac at Kewanee,
Iowa. The name Cadillac evidently
stands high in Mr. Kaar's estimation.
for he will always have a Cadillac Kaar
in his family.
The name of his baby son, old enough
to he photographed on the running
board of the Cadillac, is Joseph Cadillao
Kaar.
A married man should come homo
early at least one night each week
jut-t to show his wife that he can do it.

Ford Satisfaction
The Ford is acknowledged to be "the universal
car" because of its demonstrated usefulness.
There are solid reasons for this, as back of the
remarkable performance of Ford cars and of the
car's strength and deDendabilitv is-thp
of material built into every vital part at the factory.
And yet, if your Ford car is to continue to give the service intended and
desired, all adjustments and replacements rendered necessary through the
wear and tear of usage, or accidents, should be made by competent Ford
workmen using genuine Ford-made material of the same quality and strength
as the itlentical parts they replace.
This is the character of service we give to the owners of Ford cars who
favor us with their patronage. Everything in our workshop is genuinely
ord materials, workmen, and even charges. Bring your Ford cars to us
for service, and thus have the assurance of getting the most possible use from
your car. 1
