Local Agent Much Elated Over
New Arrangement for the
Haynes Cars.
3. C Peck, the Portland agent for the
Haynes Automobile company, -is very
much elated over the fact that the San
Francisco agency for the r6aynes cars
has been turned into a direct factory
branch. This will enable Peck to ob
tain parts In Portland on telegraphic or
der In from two to three days, as well us
assuring the local agent a supply of
cars upon'much shorter notice than If he
had to send the orders to tne ractory
and await shipment.
W. C. Cochran, president of the
Haynes Auto Sales company, distrib
utors of Haynes cars for the Pacific
coast, has Just returned from a confer
ence with the officers of the company
at Kokomo, Ind., and as a result of that
conference, Cochran states in a letter to
Peck that the Haynes Motor Car com
pany of Kokomo, has secured a majority
of the stock of the Haynes Auto Sales
company, of California, and that the
San Francisco branch will be operated
in future as a direct factory brajneh.
Mr. Cochran has been retained by the
factory as manager of the California
branch. He also stated to Mr. Peck that
it was his intention to visit the north
west territory at an early date. The
Portland agency of the Haynes company
has recently moved Into one of the best
and most up to date garages In Portland.
located at East Eighth and Hawthorne
and is now in a position to give cus
tomers service second to none In Port
land. Mr. Pejt deserves great credit for
the success; he has mane wun the new
line of cars in this territory, especially
when taking into consideration the fact
that his first shipment of cars did not
arrive in Portland until the season had
well advanced and all other lines rep
resented here had bean on exhibition sev
eral months before the Hayns can were
received.
In Bohemia a prooess has been per
fected whereby paper Is spun into thread

Can Men Be Fooled
On Tires?
Are 200,000 Mistaken?
That is the crux of the question. -
Some 200,000 motor car owners have tested out
oyer 1,250,000 Goodyear tires. One-third of all cars
are equipped with them.
As a result, No-Rim-Cut tires now far outsell
every other tire. And the sale doubles every eight
months.
Does this type really save half on tires? Or are
all these men mistaken?
Now the King of Tires
No-Rira-Cut tire now hold, by
long odds, the topmost place in
Tlredom.
The demand today Is 12 times
larger than three years ego. And
a monthly output of 100,000 falls
to supply the call.
Just because the hosts of users
tell what these tires have dono.
What They Save
No-Rlm-Cut tires our patent
typo make rln-outting forever
impossible.
Old-type tires may be wrecked
In a moment, If punctured and run
flat. And under-inflatlon may lead
to rim-cutting.

Evidence of a rapidly Increasing de
mand for automobiles by farmers and
mere hants of t he - great northwest -and
an ultimate market far in excess of the
present, is furnished by E. E. Gerlinger,
agent for Stoddard-Dayton motor cars In
Portland.
Gerlinger said the demand for relia
ble small cars Is growing beyond the
capacity of the manufacturers to meet
it and that 80 per cont of the cars sold
In Portland and vicinity were machines
selling for 912 or under.
"The present market Is no compari
son to what It will be in a year or two,"
said Gerlinger: 'There are now about
9300 registered cars in the state of Ore
gon. The farmers and merchants
throughout the northwest are prosper
ous and they will buy thousands more.
The wheat crop is better than any in
history; the lumber business is thriving
but the companies cannot get cars
enough to haul the timber. The salmon
fishing industry has never been better."
AUT0ISTS REWARDED
FOR THEIR HONESTY
Diogenes' search for an honest man
would be out short 1f,the 60,000 mile
Maxwell Motor club existed In his' time.
No less than 20 candidates for the
club made oath of a mileage Just under
50,000 and received silver medals, when
a-' few miles more would have gained
gold medals for them.
However, It Is said that honesty is its
own reward and In this case the proverb
holds true. All have received ..silver
medals and In a few weeks they will
get the gold medals, too.
NEW NATIONAL WILL
BE SHOWN IN SEATTLE
Manager Mel G. Johnson of the How
ard Automobile company, left Tuesday
for Seattle, where he will spend Potlatch
week, showing the 1913 National in the
sound city for the first time.
Mr. Johnson was accompanied by
Frank Nichols, the National driver, who
will demonstrate the car.
Statistics show that 23 percent of
all ruined clincher tires are rim-cut.
10 Oversize
Then No-Rlm-Cut tires are 10
per cent over the rated sixe. And 10
per cent oversize, under average)
conditions, adds 25 per cent to the
tire mileage. It saves the blow
outs due to overloading.
Thus these two average savings
total 48 per cent.
That's why all men who try
them recommend these tires. And
200,000 use them. Ask some of
these users about them.
Our 1912 Tire Book based on
13 years of tire making is filled
with facts yoa should know. Ask
us to mail it to you.

Picnic to Be Held at Estacada;
Contests of Games and
Races to Be Feature of the
Occasion.
"The Portland" automobile Sealers are
becoming very hilarious over the plonlo
to be given in their honor by the rubber
and accessory dealers of the city. Mr.
Stanley Clemens, of the Chanslor &
Lyon company, has been appointed chair
man of the committee of arrangements
to look after the procuring of lunch.
Charlie Mead of the West Coast Supply
company has been made chairman of tne
committee on arranging an athletlo pro
gram. It is understood that the ath
letics will consist of running races, shot
putting, tug of war, tat men's race, and
all other forms of manly sport known
to the noted college men among the tire
fraternity. Mr. Wright, of Ballon A
Wright, is chairman of th committee
on attendance. All those intending, to
take , advantage of thtsj opportunity., of
securing "a proper adjustment f rom the
tire men should notify Mr. Wright at
least three days in advance of the plo
nlc in order that he in turn may see
that the necessary information is given
the chef de Clemens. It is sadly re
membered by a few of those. Who
reached Estacada late last year, that the
good things had all disappeared when
they arrived and It was necessary to
get lunch at the hotel. August 4 is the
date selected for the 1912 outing, and
Estacada Park will be used as picnic
grounds aga! this year. The road to
Estacada has been much improved this
year and the trip can easily be made
In an hour and a half. The part to be
played In the picnic by1 the dealers will
be to furnish machines enough to get
the rubber and accessory men to and
from the picnlo grounds. Of course if
the entertainment is not up to what
the dealers think it should be, demon
stration prices will be charged the tire
men for the return trip to Portland. We
trust there wilt not be a lot of knockers
and kickers this year as has been the
case in previous years on occasions of
this kind. Let everybody join hands
and make Portland's outing day bigger
