El frieda Wynne (Mrs. Weinstein)
Takes Fellow Orpheum Players
for Jaunt Up Columbia River.
"But Jurt wait until you th
Columbia river . highway," was the
reply Blade by Elfrleda Wynne, Or-
Dheutn etar. who in private life la
Mr. Elfrleda Heller Weinstein, for
merty of Portland, to ell the other
Orpheum players when they ex
claimed about the scenery along; the
side of the railroad on the way to
T'ortland;
And the players could hardly wait. Mrs.
Wynne ravs them no peace, but told of
the Ions, malertlo sweep's of the mighty
river eomlmr down through the lordly
hills that form the eastern bulwark of
the Willamette valley, of the overhang
ing 'dlffs, the wind torn trees and the
fleecy network of the many falla which
eera to spring from the very sky ttseu.
She , told them of the beauty of the
mountains when the rays of the sun fell
on their white caps and of the guardian
bulk of Mount Hood keeping watch over
the valley.
' And when the players came to Port
land, the men and women and the girls.
toowho had listened to all these things
from the time the last city before Port
land had been left behind in the clr
cult,- demanded that they be shown all
these wonderful things. What could an
enthusiastic Portlander do but make
rood? v
And scenery Is not the only thing
possessed in and around Oregon's
great city. Cars were needed, and the
Portland dealers responded to the first
call. All the machines the party needed
for a run over the highway were at
their call. Fred Houghton polished up
a Moon sedan; Leroy Fields got down
the Baby Grand sedan he reserves for
gala occasions ; "Doc" Denis figured
that a Sayers six was Just the thing
to care for a few of the party ; F. M.
Beaton-Smith forgot the Studebaker
Bulldog long enough to send up a big
Studebaker six, piloted by Mrs. J. Lang,
and the . Oldsmoblle company found it
could spare an eight to help along the
good work.
Hhe merry party, 28 In all, left the
Ilelllg abouj-9:30 Tuesday morning and
spent four great hours on the run up
the liver, ably piloted by Mrs. Wynne.
Money makes the automobile go, and
the automobile makes money go and
there you are.

Business Interests Asked to Get
Together to Construct Road

Centralla, Jan. 17. "Business in
terests of every section of Lewis
p.oiintv must eat in the harness and
work together for a paved highways
east and west across Lewis county
until such a highway .becomes an
absolute reality," said Lee Proffitt,
prominent Centralla merchant, fol

Eastern Lewis county. Never be
fore, he declares, has there been
such crying need for this road as

from the rest of the county and from
the outside world by road conditions.
On February 7, a county convention
will be held in Chehal'.s to discuss the
possibilities of constructing a highway
across the county.

AC. HAGESTAD ha been appointed
territory man for the Roberts
Motor Car C9mpany, distributor of Re
public trucks, to Till the vacancy caused
by the appointment of H. I. Stoutmye
as manager of the Boise, Idaho, branch
of the company. Hagestad was former'
ly with the J. A. Freeman A Son com
pany, and also with the Mollne Plow
company. He is a man of wide experi
ence in motor vehicles and Is also thor
oughly familiar with the nooks and
crannies of the territory he will handle
for the Roberts company.
Frank Atwell, manager of the local
branch of the International Mack cor
poration, distributor of Mack trucks. Is
In San Francisco attending the sales
conference of the Coast managers of
the company. He left last Saturday
night.
L. J. Kearns has been appointed sales
manager of the D. C. Warren Motor
Car company, distributor of Peerless,
Velie, and Allen cars. Mr. Kearns has
been for the past seven years sales
manager of the Seattle branch of the
Willys-Overland company.
Charlie Menzles. who departed from
The movement for the "better garage'
finds J. L. Snead of the Irviigton Ga
rage & Auto company at Eaat Fifteenth
and Broadway well in toward the lead.
His new building, which has been grac
ing the corner where the vacant lot used
to present Itself as an eyesore to the
neighborhood, la kept In the best condi
tion, and his method of merchandising
his accessory lines by clever display
seems to be In pretty good taste.
When W. H. Wiggs and Ira E. Cook
bought the Leslie garage at 266 East
Thirty-seventh street, they had no In
tention of keeping the Wolf from the
door. Mr. Wolf turned the place over to
the partners after the usual prelimin
aries, and now seems to have something
else up his sleeve in the automobile
line.
F. G. Krumm and Bert Williams, for
mer owners of the Montavilla service
station at East Eighty-second street and.
Base Line road, have sold to May &
Haven, two old time Portlanders, who
have been following other pursuits for
the last few years.
C. C. Snyder, manager of the East
Side branch of the Lewis E. Obye Mo
tors company's activities, has the abil
ity Inclosed in his small stature to keep
the several; departments running In a
well oiled condition. He not only looks
after the selling of new cars, but has
the used car department as well, to
which is added the garage and repair
departments, where most of the work
for the two branches is done.
Doc Roller, look to your past laurels.
The Lowrle garage, 607 Belmont street.
Is the scene for a series of wrestling
bouts this cold weather. They stage 'em
between jobs, and the man who nicks a
fender of one of the nearby cars is dis
qualified as a professional.
"Yep, we can fix you up," is the an
swer always given to the customer by
Chris Heick, who practices the garage
trade at 991 Belmont street. His line is
as full as that of any other man In the
city. He has a bell that tells when a
customer is calling, and some men who
call to sell him merchandise declare it
sounds like an alarm clock.
There Is a report going the rounds' to
the effect that Axel Kildahl of the Lents
garage is going to put up a sign "Stage
Your Accidents Here I Flxum." He
may have the right dope, telling them
for the convenience of the damaged car,
Why not stretch a rope across the road.-
Axel?

Maxwell is but another name
for Quality
THE goodness, the
efficiency, the qual
ity in previous Max
wells created a demand
for the current Maxwell
which 100,000 cars
(the number now being
built) cannot satisfy.
This shows a rare liking
for jyaxwell; and the appre
ciation that every dollar de
voted to its manufacture has
been .wisely expended.
Think what the making of
100,000 axles means, the
making of 100,000 frames,
100,000 engines, . 100,000
clutches, and 100,000 trans
missions. Think of the great saving
that comes with the purchase
of so many materials.
Consider the accuracy that
follows as one after another
of 100,000 axles is con
structed. Consider the vast use
of capital it requires
to turn them out 300
a day.
Estimate the confidence
the Maxwell executives had
in the Post-War model to rest
the future of the Maxwell
name on a year's production
like 100,000.
They knew; 300,000 previ
ous Maxwells had told them;
the public was their judge.
You can look for high
engine efficiency, or merely
comfort, or long mileage on
gas and tires, or improve
ments the war developed, or
style, or value you'll find it
in the Post-War Maxwell.
Factory advanced the price $75.00 on January 15. We sell at the old
price until February 1.

PATERSON LIGHT SIX
$1895 F. O. B. Portland
For twelve years the W. A. Paterson Co. of Flint, Mich., have had their well
known product before, the public. Year after year they have produced a high- t
grade car at a moderate price. The 1920 Model is the most beautiful, most
powerful, most economical car ever offered by this wellknown concern.
A car as fine as this new Paterson will. be absorbed in today's market much,
faster than it can be' built. Take a demonstration in a Paterson you can't
help liking it and place your order NOW. J,
