VT. W. Wray of Seattle has organized
here the Wray Motor Car company to

ins one of the easiest cars to handle I
ever drove. For acceleration and driving-
ranges I doubt if there is a car
that can excel the Daniels. The car

KEEP KIXKS OUT OF HOSE
Antoists Told to Keep Water Sup
plied to Radiator.
A radiator Is mounted as closely to
the fan as is possible without creating
the excessive noise that would Cevelop
when a fan is too close. Too great a
distance from the radiator causes the
fan to lose a great deal of its efficiency.
Sufficient hose should always be al
lowed in connecting the top of the
radiator . and water Jacket cover to
avoid any strain on these connections.
The engine weaves in its front sup
port as the car passes over rough or
uneven roads, and this would destroy
the hose. Avoid any sharp bends or
kinks which would retard free passage
of water.
Slipping Belt.
When the leather fan belt develops
considerable slippage though it is rea
sonably tight, it is very probably be
cause the 'rough side of the leather Is
against the pulley surface. The smooth
side of the leather has a much greater
traction adherence.

Oregon territory. He drove over from
Seattle last week in a demonstrator,
the first Templar to be seen in Port
land. To say that it has created a stir
is putting it quite mildly, indeed.
Mr. Wray has put in most of his time
since reaching Portland, which here
after is to be his home. In answering
questions about the Templar. Wher
ever he has stopped in the street a
crowd has quickly gathered, attracted
irresistibly by the line3 and appearance
r,t this distinctive little car, and it has
been just one question after another.
So busy has he been answering ques
tions that Mr. Wray hasn't as yet been
able to get permanent quarters for the
new Wray Motor Car company, but he
expects to announce a permanent loca
tion very shortly.
Mr. Wray, however, has obtained
temporary quarters for the Templar at
SO North Broadway.
In Class AU Its Own.
He was connected in Seattle with the
Greater Motors Corporation, which has
the distributing agency for Templar
cars in the Pacific nortnwest. While
the Wray Motor Car company is a sep
arate concern, it will be closely affil
iated with Greater Motors.
Many new cars have appeared here
In the past two years, but the Templar
is unique among them all. A small
car. with wheel base of only 118
inches, it is built of units and ma
terials such as are ordinarily only to
be found in the very high-priced cars.
Vor example, its steering knuckle is
the same as those used on the Marmon
and the Mercer. It has ball bearings
in front and double ball bearings in
rear.
Its manufacturers don't attempt or
pretend to sell It in competition with
cars of the low-price class. Many a
larger car sells for considerably less.
But the Templar Motor corporation of
Cleveland, which makes it, does claim
that for its price the Templar is not
to be surpassed, and that it is a smaller
dition only of the high-priced cars,
built for the man who wants a qual
ity car in small size.
The Templar has a. long stroke, high
speed, four-cylinder valve-in-head mo
tor with counter-balanced crankshaft,
made in Its own factory. This motor
has 3 -inch bore by 6 is -inch stroke,
end it develops great power, with
mazing flexibility.
Scoots Up the Bills.
Just to see what it could do on Port
land hills, Mr. Wray took the Templar
to the head of Washington street and
Trom almost a stop started out the
Barnes road to the Kings and Arling
ton heights turn-offs. This is a long
errade and a hard one. as any motorist
can testify, but at the turn-off the
Templar had accelerated to 35 miles
per hour.
.Then from almost a stop Mr. Wray
toon the Templar up the stiff grade in
Ford street above Washington. At the
top the car had accelerated -on high
to 2Z miles per nour.
The Templar Is made In two-passen
ger, our-passenger and five-passenger
open moaeia ana in several enclosed
models. It comes in Tiffany bronze,
light wine, Alleghany blue and khaki
gray, and the roadsters are painted
cream.
These cars are sold completely
equipped with Firestone cord tires,
spotlight, clock, motometer, grade in
dicator, plate-glass windows. Macbeth
windows and compass. The buyer of a
.port roadster even finds a kodak all
ready to use in the car! The roadster
also is equipped with tjx wire wheels
and cord tires.
Mr. Wray says that on his drive down
from Seattle a week ago in a five-
passenger Templar, with three persons
ana a lot oi luggage aboard, he aver
aged 20 miles to the gallon of gas
oline.
The first carload of Templars for

KLEIBEB TRUCK IS .HERE
NEW COMPANY FORMED TO
SELIi IT IS THIS TERRITORY.
J. H. Ainscough President-ot State
Auto Sales Company and Maurice
V. Seitz Is Secretary.
The Oregon agency for the Kleiber
truck, a Pacific coast product, made in
San Francisco, has been taken by the
State Auto Sales company of Portland,
a new firm organized for that purpose.
J. H. Ainscough, president of the Kelly
Tire Sales company, is president, and
Maurice W. Seitz secretary-treasurer of
the new corporation. J. W. Steiger is
sales manager.
The headquarters of the company and
of the Kleiber truck, it was announced
yesterday by Mr. Ainscough, will be in
the new building of the Kelly Tire
Sales company at 430 Burnside, above
Tenth.
Arrangements for placing the Kleiber
truck in this territory were made
through Walter Lamson, of San.- Fran
cisco, factory representative, who is
now in Portland.
The Kleiber is a truck of" over-size
construction, built in 1, 1, 2. 2H,
and S-ton models. It is well-known in
California and Oregon,' where many
Kleiber trucks are in use and giving
great satisfaction because of their
ability to stand hard knocks and carry
big overloads.
GOOD REMEDY FOR CLOGGING
Matter In - Fuel . Pipe Canse of
Vacuum Tank Trouble.
When foreign matter of some kind
finds its way into the fuel pipe be
tween the two sections of the vacuum
system the result is that the vacuum
tank is empty in spite of the fact that
there is plenty of fuel in the main tank.
When this happens fill the float cham
ber of the carburetor with gasoline,
which can be drawn from the main
tank, and then start the engine. The
resulting suction, will draw out the ob
struction and permit the system to
function again. This eame trouble is
sometimes caused by obstruction of the
small air hole in the filler cap of the
main fuel tank, whica must be kept
open to induce atmospheric pressure on
the gasoline.
Plac for Fiber Washer.
Irregular magneto action sometimes
occurs because of end play in- the
armature Hearings. The end mction
of the armature may be sufficient to
upset the action of the contact breaker
and render the time of firing uncertain
and irregular. Inserting a fiber washer

remedy.

about removing carbon deposits with

Invitations to this ride and dinner
to Mr.'- Vesper have been sent by the
committee to Oregon and southwestern

POOR PACKING OFTEN CATJSE

has been turned to press the packing

When In the Mad.
When the car gets stuck in the rand
do not try to pull out by running the
rear wneeis. As a matter of fact, the
slower the wheels turn the better
chance they have of getting a grip. If
the car can be rocked by alternate
engaging and disengaging the clutch
it will be found that the pendulum
action of the car will pretty nearly
carry it out or a naa spot.

EN POINTS TO SETTLE
BEFORE YOU BUY ANY TRUCK
THE motor truck is established. Its
utility is no longer questioned. As
a means of transportation it is
definitely established that a motor truck
is incomparably economical, convenient,
etc. So it is not a question of whether or
not you need a motor truck.
Your decision must be which truck to
select. It is a big- question not to be de
cided until you have every fact, every
data of cost before you. On that basis
only can you make a selection that will
justify the required expenditure.
GARY, "The Ten-Test Truck," invites
every investigation every test or
question that any owner may advance.
The Gary Motor Truck has been selected
by some of the largest truck users in
America. They buy on the basis of fact
only and Gary has satisfied these own
ers in every one of the following ten
vitally important points.
REASONABLE INVESTMENT
t)on't buy a truck that will depreciate too rapidly
to be economical. You really rent a motor truck
when you buy it. At the end of its period of use
it should have a substantial "cash or trade-in" value. Investi
gate the actual "after use" worth of any truck before you make
your selection.
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Trucks are a means of economy. It is not an invest
ment to buy the truck that will increase your trans
portation costs. Find out what it will actnalltr nut
you to transport your merchandise.

SIMPLICITY
Skilled experienced labor costs money. You don't
want to increase your labor, hire because of your
truck investment. Before male
any worker in your Delivery Department. Give him a few
simple instructions. See whether or not the truck is simple
enough for his unskilled abilities.
EQUALIZED BALANCE
From front fender to rear lamp bracket, maximum
efficiency of operation requires even distribution of
weight, work and wear. The motor must not be too
light for its load the frame must not be heavier than is neces
sary. Consider whether or not there is proper co-relation of
size and parts.
OVER CARRIAGE
Do not buy a one-ton truck and expect it to do 3V4-ton
duty. But the truck you do buy should be built to
allow for a reasonable margin, of overload. Buy the
size truck that your business needs. Do not invest in a
6-ton truck for 1-ton labors. Nor should you buy a 3-ton
truck to do the work of a 5-ton truck.
CONTINUOUS OPERATION
Accidents will happen and some repairs are inevit
able. Select a truck of a design eo standardized that
repairs will never keep your truck out of service.
ESTABLISHED MANUFACTURE
A truck made by a maker having limited resources
is a questionable investment. Be sure the maker of
your truck will be able to continue in business as
long as you do.
DEALER DEPENDABILITY
The dealer is the agency that is directly responsible
to you. Be sure that the dealer from whom you buy
your truck is as reliable and dependable as your own
banker. Do not buy a truck from a dealer that has a reputa
tion for shifting responsibility.
NON-RADICAL DESIGN
Radical changes and principles are experimental. Do
not buy an experimental truck. Keep within ap
proved design and principle.
SPEED POWER
An emersrencv will arise where vou will have to run
10 1 vour fully-loaded truck at its maximum speed. Power
' should provide for speed to allow for speed when it
is necessary.
GARY, "The Ten-Test Truck," has
measured up to every test. Let us

You can't run a motor truck economically without an,

You can't run a motor truck
efficiently without electric lights
and it's both safe and handy
to have an electric spotlight.
You should have a channel steel
bumper. And of course you
should have a good storage bat
