general public has not
heretofore taken serious
cognizance of, but which,
with facta fairly consid
ered, ia the meana of giv
ing to hundreda an op
portunity to purchase a
real fine automobile at
urpriaingly low coat
' Th!a opportunity ia presented to
those who desire to own an automo
bile, but who do not want to purchase
a new car of a certain price, possibly
because it la not large enough or va
rloua other reasons, by investing any
where from $800 to $1200 in what
generally known as & second-hand
reclaimed car. As a matter of fact,
the average reclaimed car Is nothing
more nor leas than a very fine auto
mobile right In Its prime of. life end
with only 10 per cent of its real energy
used.
In the garages of the reputable au
tomobile dealers of this city today
expert mechanics are putting Into first
class shape by overhauling, putting on1
new coats of paint, new tops, fore
door, etc., some of the best automoblU
"buys'; that could be offered to the
public. Many of these machines have
only been run from 6000 to 8000 miles.

There are approximately 300,000 au
tomobiles 'built annually."-Automobile
statisticians figure , that . tbe life of
a good automobile - is between 80,000
and 100,000 miles,' reliable and smooth
running. The statement is being proved
dally, for there are any number of
1910; automobiles running in numerous
parts of the country that have from
70,000 to gfr.OOO miles on their speed
ometers and today are good, smooth
running automobiles giving excellent
service.. '.
The average user drives his automo
bile about 7000 miles annually. At the
end of that 7000 miles pressure from
the family circle and personal pride on
the part of the owner Impels him to
turn his old 'car Into the retail dealer
for a new automobile.
. This car then. Is generally classed in
automobile slang as a "piece of Junk,"
when, as a matter of fact, this automo
bile has only really started but to eco
nomically and successfully perform the
real work of its life.

pert mechanics. At a small cost, may
be $150, It Is put in first class shape
and then put In the used car depart

SELF-CONTROL ONE
ESSENTIAL FOR DRIVER
Foresight and Correct Judg
ment Also Needed, De
clares Distributor.
"Foresight. .. correct Judgment and
self-control are essential qualifications
which the motor car driver should at
tain, said H. E. Jagger, distributor -for
the Haynes.'
"If you feel that you lack self-confl
dence it Is well to have someone teach'
you to drive step by step. In the
first place, don't expect or even try
to learn everything at once. Have your
Instructor take the car to some un
frequented street and then, while he
controls the throttle, learn to steer
while moving along slowly In high
gear.
"Hold the wheel firmly but not too
tight. Don't try to go In an absolutely
straight line; turn the wheel slightly
and see for yourself how sensitive It
is by trying to dodge small objects
In the road. By practicing In this
manner for sometime you will, 1 wear
off the nervous feeling and will be
surprised at the ease with which a big,
powerful car may be steered.
"The next step is learning to manip
ulate the clutch and the gears. Shut
off the motor and with the car stand
ing still go through the operations of
changing gears time and Time again.
Just as though tbe car were running.
Then, after starting tbe motor, throw
out the clutch pedal, shift the hand
lever Into first speed position and re
lease the clutch pedal very slowly
while your Instructor operates the
throttle. Repeat this over and over
again, see how slowly you can start
and stop the car before ever attempt
ing to go Into higher speeds.'
"Always exercise great care m snirx
lng gears with a hand shift lever. Be
sure that the clutch, pedal is in Its
downmost position before moving the
lever. , On the other hand, when. going
from one speed to another1 don't wait
too long, as the car will lose Its mo
mentum. . -
"On the Haynes cars equipped with
electric gearshlf ting device, , it Is
merely necessary to touch a button on
the steering wheel corresponding X.9
the desired speed, and then, when yon
wish to make the change, it" Is only
necessary to depress the clutch pedal.
Suppose you are moving along In high;
the next change will be to second; you
merely press button No. 2 and the car
continues to move along In high until
you are ready to make the change, It
being necessary to operate the clutcb
pedal only at that time.
"Drive slowly and cautiously when
learning. Keep the hand throttle set
for a slow speed and practice using the
foot accelerator. Always get the car
well under way before changing to t
higher gear. In case it' Is found nee
essary to shift back to second or low
when ascending a hill don't wait too
long. The lower speeds are for a pur
pose, don't hesitate to use them if the
motor begins to labor. Retard the
spark when ascending a hllL"

How the Largest Exclusiveire Factory
Keeps Cost Down and Keepsy Quality Up
Tuires-
Cost No More Than Average
Every facility for economical pro
duction that science has been able to
.produce has been brought to bear in
the Firestone plant to give you Fire
stone quality at ordinary price. The
power plant, where one man feeds the
boilers that produce 9000 horsepower
is an example of Firestone scientific
management.
The great FIRESTONE plant natu
rally attracts the country's greatest
tire experts.
Every man in this factory is a tire
specialist; doing his work with skill
and accuracy.
Here nothing but tires is made and
every ounce of steam3 power, every ef
fort of the workmen, every bit of
study and thought, are focused on the
making of FIRESTONE tires.
This concentration and specialization
in production make it possible to give
highest quality at a cost no greater
than only average tires.
This highest quality was proved again at the international sweep
stakes in Indianapolis last Decoration Day when Barney Oldfield led
all American cars in the five hundred mile race.
Although he exceeded the speed of last year's winner, averaging
78.15 miles per hour, two of Barney's FIRESTONE TIRES went
through the entire five hundred miles without change.
FIRESTONE finished first and second in this "great race in
1913, as you will remember, also first in 1911. FIRESTONES
make good on the road because they are made good at the factory.

I
'OU can now tray a COLE FOUR for $1665. because
the blue pnnts upon which Cole has shaped his
policy have been at all times scientifically accurate
and far advanced.
Five years ago Cole conceived the idea of combin
ing the brains of all the great recognized automobile special
ists and concentrating these brains into a single motor car.
Cole called these parts-makers the Standard builders, and he
called the car built exclusively from their products the
Standardized Car. When he had his system complete, he
