At a meeting of seventy western Wash ington Ford dealers at the Motor Dealers' club here this week, final plans were formulated for the suc cess of the huge Fordson industrial exhibition to be held . in Seattle at Fourth avenue and Elanchard street October 16 to 21.

Exhibits for the show are now all on hand and the heavier Industrial machinery which will -be included in the showing' has been set up. The gTounds are being put Into shape and the main tent, which will house many of the exhibits, and the mo tion picture tent, in which will be shown the latest releases from the Ford motion picture laboratories. have been put up. Preparations are also being made for the out-of-doors exhibits, where mechanical and commercial equip ment too large to he shown under a tent will be displayed. The com rnittee in charge of arrangements for this Ford power circus are pre Daring an elaborate programme of special features to accommodate the various industrial and commercial leaders who are planning to study the new phases of Fordson and Ford activities. The mechanical exposition as de veloped in this Fordson show is a new thing for Seattle and an im portant addition to the industrial and commercial history of the city as well as of the state of Washing Ion. It comes to Seattle after being shown in thirty of the largest cities of the United States and wherever it has been held it has received the unqualified indorsement of men prominent in the industrial develop ment of the country. The electric lighting feature of the show, the lights being furnished from a Fordson tractor operatect generator, will attract unusual at tention. The contrasts between work of this nature requiring steady operation of the tractor power plant under conditions of fixed load, and many other types vof work showing extreme versatility under conditions of fluctuating load will be of marked importance to students of power. i All features of the exposition, in cluding even the motion picture ex hibit, are educational in nature, the picture program being varied by entertaining and amusing films as be without charge and the show will well. Admission to all exhibits will be open from 10 A. M. until 10 P. M. throughout the entire week during 6 Cylinders 50 Horsepower 5 Passenger $1465 The price of the Jewett Sedan is so astonishingly low that unless one has personal knowledge of the character and quality of this car of amazing value, a false classification is not an unnatural impression. The Jewett is not a "light six" Sedan. It is a roomy, powerful, five passenger enc' ed car of distinction. It is powered with a six cylinder, 334 x 5 inch motor installed in a husky chassis in which every unit is built for excess strength. Here is a Sedan that can be matched only by enclosed cars selling for at least $500 more than the Jewett. This is a statement certainly, worth investigating. You can prove its validity by a demonstration which will be arranged to suit your convenience. . It is Sold and Serviced by Paige Dealers Everywhere COOK & GILL CO., Inc.

TO Will Republic Handled Home on East Side on Way as Continue in Fast; to Be New The Federal motor truck fts again represented in this section, tHe Roberts Motor Car company, pio neer truck organization of this sec tion, having taken the Federal agency for Oregon and southwest ern Washington. Such was the sub stance of an announcement made by the Roberts Motor Car com pany last week fallowing the con elusion of arrangements with the big truck factory. Taking on the Federal will in no way interfere with the handling of Republic trucks, it is stated, and the com pany will continue as representative for the popular Republic line as in the past. O. W. Roberts of the company, in making the announcement, stated that it was only after thorough analysis of the truck field that the Federal line was taken. The local company has had marked success with the Republic, but has felt the need of a reeognized wom-drive truck to complete its line, he said. A new building, twice the size of the present home, is now under con struction and will take the Roberts Motor Car company to the east side t East First, Hast Second and Pa cific streets. This building when ready for occupancy will be one of the most up-to-date truck sales and service stations in the northwest, Roberts declared. A large stock of Federal parts is on the way from the factory, Mr. Roberts said, and the company is al ready in a position to extend serv ice to Federal owners as well as to Republic owners. CUSHMAX ROAD PROGRESSES Southern Pacific I$uiIdiiig High way to Replace Hight-of-Way. EUGENE, Or., Oct. 14. (Special.) The Lane county court has re ceived notice from the contractor on the Mapleton-Cushman road, be ing built by the Southern Pacific company, that the second section of three miles has been completed and the court soon will send the county engineer to inspect the work. This makes a total of 414 miles of the 12 miles completed. This road extends down the north bank of the Siuslaw river and is be ing built to take the place ofthe road that was destroyed when the railway company built its Coos Bay branch.

Small Chinese firms have found it cheaper and more efficient to hire a truck than to employ the necessary number of .coolies, says Consui-Gen-eral Kdwin S. Cunningham, Shang hai, in a report to the department of t-ommerce. A Shanghai newspaper has estimated the expense of oper ating one truck for a day at about $3t. To do the same work 60 coolies would be required, at a cost of from $?S to $4$ for labor alone, exclusive of all other expenses. Five years of dealing In new and used cars at the location of their modern garage on the southwest corner of Bast Ankeny and Grand avenue has been the inspiration for the observance of anniversary week by the Talbot & Casey firm, author ized Ford dealers, during the past week. Five years ago October 12, H. J. Casey, sole owner of Talbot & Casey, leased the 18,000 feet of floor space in the brick structure at the present location and as one of the six original Ford distributors for Portland began doing business. This week has been set aside as the an niversary week of the firm in ob servance of the progress which has placed it among the foremoBt Ford dealers in the state. The success and achievement of the firm is due largely to the te nacity and progressive spirit of Mr. Casey, who, although starting busi ness under the firm name of Talbot & Casey, purchased his partner's share just two months after the opening at the present location, five years ago, and has conducted the business under his own personal supervision since that time. A total of 2S03 cars have been sold during the period that the concern has been in existence and this from the small total of 385 cars in the one year in 1918. Prior to opening the garage at East Ankeny and Grand avenue a small service station and shop was operated by Mr. Casey at East Twenty-second and Belmont streets. The struggle to bring the firm to the top among the automobile deal ers of Portland has not been an easy one. Before conceiving the Idea of embarking in the automobile busi ness for himself. Mr. Casey was in the employ of the Portland Gas company, keeping their cars' and trucks in repair and cleaning them after their day's work was finished. This position he held for several years before being employed as a ear washer In the Ford Motor com pany's assembling plant in Portland when Fords were first being intro duced to Oregon. From the Job of washing cars he was advanced rap idly, due to his ability along me chanical lines, to the position of shop foreman. Embarking in business for him self, Casey maintained his repair shop on Belmont street until in 1917 came the appointment of six orig inal Ford distributors in Portland, and among these was the appoint ment of H. J. Casey as one. T. E. Talbot, at that time assistant super intendent of the Ford Motor com pany vin Portland, joined Mr. Casey n his project and the firm of Talbot & Casey was organized and began doing business at the present location. A total of 40 employes are now working in the various departments of the f irm s plant. Of this number 25 are in the shop department. Six of the men now in the employ of the firm began work with Talbot & Casey when the agency was estab lished five years ago. Of these. W. E. Harbole, formerly superintendent Of Ford Motor company here. Is now superintendent of Talbot & Casey's plant. Tom Hourston, also formerly with the Ford Motor company in its Portland plant, is now traffic man ager and superintendent of the shipping and receiving: departments, and Walter Taggersell has achieved the position of shop foreman. Several appliances and patents for devices for the Fordson tractor and trailers have been perfected by Mr. Casey during the time that he has been a dealer for the Ford Motor company, among these being the Casey tractor traction wheel, the Casey trailer attachment, and a number of minor appliances. His success with the trailer attachment appliance and his knowledge along this line has secured for tire firm the state distributing agency for the trailmoblle.

Manley, President ELEVENTH AND 13 i ' i bp r ICE LEMEL ifiiii:i;si t'.W. There's a vast difference between a cheap and an economical tire. A cheap bra giving but five or six thousand mile of senrice, is more expensive than one costing only a few dollars more but which consis tently delivers two or three times more mileage than the cheap tire There can be no question as to the real dollar-saving-economy of Sam son Tires. Mileage service ranging over 100 above the average per formance of good tires is frequently recorded on Samsons, on heavy high speed busses, as well as on all classes of motor cars. The greatest dollar value as measured in mileage service obtained in Samson Noo-Skid Cords.
