Auto,W6rld, : V " By Douglass Shelor. In , then rapid ' evolution which lias marked the development of the automo. bile from the crude affair of compara- lively few years aero Into the present efficient and attractive machine, there t are few laymen who realise Just what that evolution has cost the- business men of the country. Dally we read of changes in th automobile dealers of the different cities. In the moat of cases the ntory reads that so and so has discon tinued business. Not so, however, in the case of the Pacific Motors compary, who have handled the False-Detroit car In this territory for the past year or more: they are now announcing the ac quisition of ; the Btevens-Duryea and Msxwell line. This gives them a com- , plete Una of cart ranging lb price from 75 to $000. '' i The Pacific Motors Company ' have also . been very fortunate In securing the services of H. S. Colter as manager. Mr,' Colter needs no Introduction to the readers of The Journal, as he was for merly .in i charge of , the Pierce-Arrow business when that ear was handled by Howard Covey i In connection with the radii Iso line, 'When the Pierce-Arrow leopie established a separate organise. 1 lion in this city Mr. Colter was selected to direct the management, and remained there : until the opportunity presented Itself to become connected with the Pa cific Motors company. Mr. Colter is emphatic in his statement that he be i lievea H absolutely necessary to have a low, or medium priced car In connec tion with a high priced car if any money , is to be made. After becoming eon netted with the Pacific Motors company, Mr. Colter had the opportunity of taJc- ' Ing over the Boomr-Sklnner concern, Or egon distributors of the Maxwell Una. Realising the necessity of having a low j rloed car In connection, with the high grade line, the deal was made after a thorough examination of the Maxwell line by the mechanical department of the pacific Motors company. After put ting one of the Maxwell "25V through every hard test kuewn to the Portland automobile dealers, it was taken into the ; mechanical , department and 1 dis mantled and found to ; be in perfect condition, and it was from this examin ation that U was taken on as one of the lines of the concern, N i IX.

Motor Car- company, local distributors of the Studebaker; line have Just com . plated arrangements with Mr. Brown to ociupy v the two lower floora ; of the bubdirg at Chapman and Aider streets, no occupied by the wholesale depart" Ttient of the Sludebaker Corporation. The present quarter of the Oregon Motor Car company on Twenty-third street are entirely too small to take care of the Studebaker business. The move will be mad about November 1. Benjamin E. Boone, president? of the Boone-Skinner Auto company, Oregon distributors of the- Maxwell line, baa se. cured ' the Multnomah county distribu tion for Ford .automobiles, succeeding Peterson & Blerett, who have gone out of business. Mr. Boone has not as yet announced hr new location, but prom ises that It will be on the west aide ad jacent to the present automobile row on Alder street If possible to secure loca tion. - I Allshous & McDowal. who have been connected with the Peterson & Blerett agency at East Eighth and Hawthorne, have taken over the building lease and secured the local distribution of Herres hoff ears from the Oerlinger Motor Car company. Mr. Allshouae was formerly In business with A. J. Edwards, when Kd wards represented the Ford in this territory, and is well known among the automobile men. . . e e , 4 The Oerlhigep Motor Car company have taken the agency for the Oldsmo bile line, one of the old high grade ma chines that has made a wonderful repu tation for good efficient service. O. B. McCarthy, factory representative, wss much pleased over the closing of this territory with the Oerlinger establish rntnt one of the strongest financial motor concerns In the northwest Mr. Oerlinger has recently secured larger and more .attractive quarters at King and Washington streets,' and Is now completing sales organisation that will be second to none In Portland. , i Motor Boat Owners .

Goodrich Rubber company, and their occupancy, beginning tomor row,; of quarters , at , Broadway and Bumaide formerly occupied oy the Dia mond Tire company. W. D. Albright who came to Portland less than six months ago as manager of the Diamond branch, has been re tained as manager of the B. F. Good rich interests in this territory, and Mr. C. J. Fitch, who has been manager of the Goodrich Tire branch In this city for the past two years, has been trans ferred to San Francisco and will as sume the management of , the Paclftd Coast service department of the B.'V. Goodrich Rubber company. The Goodrich and Diamond branches of ' the entire Pacific coast have been consolidated during the past month In order that the one parent company could give better ; services ' to their patron, It Is understood that the two brands of tires, Goodrich and Diamond, will continue to be made and marketed as heretofore. j R. I McCloud, whothas been with the liocal Diamond branch since It was opened in Portland,' has been appointed chief adjuster under the new arrange ments and is receiving many congrat ulations by the host of friends he has made in Portland, Mr. Fitch, the retiring manager of the Goodrich company, has also made many friends in the northwest who wish him every success In his new endeavors.
