Sutherlin - Roseburg: Leaving
the Paelfic highway at Sutherlln,
detour nine miles west across a
steel bridge over the Calapooia
fiver; thence south about 10
miles to steel bridge' over the
North Umpqua; thence south
easterly to the highway at Eden
bower, about five miles. It is
only about 1 miles from Eden
bower to Rosebnrg. This is a
graveled county road leading
through what is known as "Gar
den Valley." The only caution
necessary Is that care be used
to prevent possible collisions
along the route south from the
Calapooia bridge, a portion of
which is too narrow for heavy
traffic. This detour will be ne
cessary for a period of about two
months, during paving operations
south of Wilbur.

ing macadamized; take old road

to use care in driving and to have
plenty of gas.

Look for
the Name
"Willard" on a battery identi
fies it as the product of the
pioneer in starting and lighting
batteries.
It stands for the most im
portant battery development
the Willard Threaded Rubber
Battery.
When you buy a Willard Threaded
Rubber Battery the only battery with
Threaded Rubber Insulation you buy
freedom from old time separator
troubles, because the plates of thia
battery are insulated not merely
separated. Saves trouble and expense.
Ask about the Willard Threaded
Rubber Battery and how you caa
recognije it.
