Wherever Car Has .Come. Upon. Scene. - hi Iff- m$k The first question a farmer wilt ask about a motor car Is, "Will It pay finan dally rv.aaya A. A. Graham, Stevens Uuryea dealer. If be means by "will it pay?" that he will get back In dollars and cents, first contrltiterestotr thenvestment, upkeep, ' and time he puts in keeping his automo bile in.xondition no. But the same . would apply to the farmer's home, to his good clothes, to his good table and other needs of modern civilization. "T ' Th farmer, a8 a rule, when he puts hia money into neat furniture, good clothes, good houses op good outside i necessities or conveniences on his farm, . i does not get his money back. Sometimes by erecting a good house on his farm he may be able to sell it to advantage and make It pay, and sometimes he might be his own chauffeur and engage Jn the auto livery business and make his auto pay in dollars and cents, but these are exceptions and not the xule. Modern Conditions Different.' 7 Then how are automobiles going to pay? The farmer's life is, at the best, frequently full of drudgery and mo notony; even those who count their acres' by the hundreds, if they are making a auueess in their line, cannot get ridf a certain amount of monotony, and it Is this monotonous, day in and day out grind more than anything else that causes the rarriier to break down in mid dle life. His wife at 40 often looks as ' old as .her city sister .of 65, while his i children drift cityward where they in , variably live up more than they can earn. To the modern farmer these days are ' passing. He realizes that he must not put all his dividends back into working capital, such as "land, stock, "etc., and leave a great fortune for his city child ren to law'over. But, if he takes more than a narrow interest in his family, he - finds he must make the farm home as near Ideal as possible, and he puts his ' 1 money into modern living just a nis city brother, ts doing and with his mod ern ' home and equipment, there must follow the motor car. ' , He finds that after using the automo 1 , bile like the modern home, the water works, electric lights, telephones, etc., he cannot get along without it; that a 80 minute "spin" after a good hard day's work gives him and his family 'renewed energy for tomorrow; that his whole family takes a new interest In ' life; that they get tnrough their tasks ". In better shape, and that somehow the ' druggist's' bill Is less, a doctor's servl ' cei are not needed nearly bo much. ----- Motor Car Is Solution. , ; He finds that hired help, both on the ' farm and in the home, are less difficult . to get and keep, and that they will take mora interest in their work if he does , I not forget them once in a while in his , "spins,." .And also his less fortunate ; ... neighbor In this world's goods seems to .-' have, a better opinion of him if he re ' ! members him occasionally, lie finds i- as the years come and go that his fam- Uy does not think farm life such a ' 1 drudgery aftet-arh That his boys take - more interest In farm stock and farm ' work, and somehow the city does not . . seem nearly so attractive as it once did. In view of these facts, It Is apparent ." that the motor car, more than any other ' one thing, will help solve the farmer's problems. The land owning man who '".Is "running ahead of the game every -yea-4e the man who stays on the farm, m and buys a motor car. By so doing he . keeps on the farm the brain' and brawn . which belongs to it, and thus finds that the motor car pays. 11 i I v& 1 0 COMOBI f IS REAL BEAUTY iany-New-eatures Added to Cars, Declares Local Dealer. - The snnouncement of the 1913 Loco . mobile contains much of Interest to the 1 ever growing number of motoring en thusiasts," sa's McCarthy, local dealer, who has lust returned from the east " "' v !An examination of the 1913 models shows that not only do they retain the ' Locomobile fundamentals, with certain . refinements, but. also, that greater at tention than ever before has been given to those features tending toward greater . luxury, comfort and convenience. "Three models will be built for 1913, " the Six '48,' the '38' Little Six, and the four cylinder '30.' Thrse will be fur nished In touring, torpedo, limousine, . landaulet and roadster bodies. All have been redesigned, and the change made en the 'J8' follow clohely those made on the '48 The attention n thp ohst-rvor Is nat urally first attracted to the ruuly ie tigned straight lin. tlunh nule bodies, which are beautiful in appearance, and A. H. Brown, factory head of the Studebaker Company in north west. - 1 A. H. Brown, thp new factory rep resentatlve of the Studebaker corpora tion for the northwest, who succeeds L. H. Rose, now with the Everett people, arrived In Portland last Monday, morn ing from Spokane, where he had been in charge of the Studebaker branch, mid assumed the management of the Tort-' land establishment. , Mr. Brown is a well-made man of about 35 years and shows by his makeup and conversation that he is very much alive to the auto mobile situation,. ..His promotion in the automobile game has been very rapid since he became connected with the E. M. V. Klanders organization. Graduated from Dartmouth college In 1899. Mr. Brown entered the woodenware manu facturing business, where he remained for three or four years when he entered the service of the Warner Instrument pinipftny Marked ability soon won him the managership of the Boston office of the Warner company, where he remained until becoming connected with the Stu debaker corporation in the early part of 1911. Mr. Brown was In charge of the retail department of the Philadel phia store of the corporation for sev eral months when he was transferred to G. C. ttichols of local Studebaker branch, who has been named manager of Spokane branch. Indianapolis, where he was put In charge of the wholesale department of the branch. About one- year ago the Studebaker people decided to make Spo kane a direct branch Instead of a branch of the Portland establishment, and Brown was selected to take charge of the Spokante territory, where he remalnedl until sent to Portland to assume charge of the northwest. It has now been an nounced that the Spokane branch will also be under the supervision of Port land. Mr. Brown promoted. 3. C. Nich ols, who has been assistant manager of the Portland branch for some months, to the -managership of the Spokane branch and Mr. Nichols left Wednesday to take up his new duties. C. A. Lind- say, who was made salesmanager of the Portland branch some months ago, has been retained In his old position by Mr. Brown. The organization as left by Mr, Rose has aol bin -disturbed as yet, and few changes are expected, Charles N. Weaver, San Francisco manager of the Studeoaker corporation, and L. Jollier, Los Angeles manager. are expected in Portland the first of the week to confer with Mr. Brown on their return from the factory regarding the 1913 policy of the Studebaker people on the Pacific coast. Incorporate several very novel features evolved by the designers, together with the most advanced ideas of both here and abroad. "All. bodies, including the closed types, are fitted with an aluminum cowl dash, which unites the long sweeping lines of the body and the straight lines of the hood In a very harmonious man ner. The emergency4 brake and gear shift levers have been placed inside, leaving the lines of the body unbroken, this effect being further emphasized by using concealed door hinges and door handles, , "The equipment of the 1913 Locomo bile is most complete. It Includes a glass front so designed as to be an In tegral part of the car and also a newly designed capa top. The cars are fitted with a well known electric lighting system, which has proven unusually ef fective and reliable. Current Is sup- piled for the head lights, side lights, tall light, hand light, and in addition. In the closed cars, the dome light, corner reading lights and the pillar lamps. The battery is carried in a cradle under the floor boards, leaving the running board free, while the control switch and Junction box are located on the dash. "A disco starter for starting the motor has been Installed, the gas for starting being obtained from a -gas tank which is to be carried across the rear of the frame. Included In the equipment Is an air pump for use in Inflating the tires, cleaning the motor, upholstery, etc. This pump Is driven from the front end of the countershaft and is in operation only when needed, there being a clutch which cuts it off the shaft at other times. Sufficient hose is provided to reach all tires." CONGRESSMEN VISIT DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE (I'nltcrt PrpM Laai1 TTI l Sea Girt. N. J July 20.
