Modesto Man Finds Upkeep! Cost of Little Car Low and Tires Give 9000 Miles or Better Before Replacing. Supervisor C. H. Little of Modesto California, claims a record for econ omy of autnmohtle operation. While driving a Chevrolet "Four-" Ninety more than 10,000 miles, IJttle says he had a total repair bill of less than $1. Supervisor Little has cov ered rough dirt roads and steep moun tain highways during the 10,000 miles, which he has driven his Chev rolet, and out of the four tires origi nally on the car there are thre still In use, which he snys are good for many more miles- of travel. The other cas ing was driven more than 9000 miles before it was replaced.

ALL SEASON MODELS OF COLE FACTORY PRESENT CRITERION FOR FASHION Cole all-season models, like the open cars represent, a new phase in auto mobile designing that is both original and distinctive. Kach Is an accepted criterion of future automobile fash ions in Vnclosed equipages. The Cole Motor Car company has come to set a pace in body designing during the past few years. They were the first to apply aerotype engineering to the automobile and It is now em ployed in the construction of both the open and enclosed models. The enclosed models on display at tho Automobile Show Include the Aero-Eight Toursedan, Sportosine. Pportcoupe, Touroslne, Towncar and Sportsedan. All these are distinctive, not only in the peculiarity of their de sign, hut also in the fact that they are virtually custom-made stock cars. Pacific Coast Asks More Cars Than Can Be Made in Month An Improved Truck 2 Tons Here is a truck that we believe represents the maximum power, efficiency and economy that is available anywhere in the 2 to 2Vz ton class. Even that is understating the facts because the capacity rating is extremely conservative. It is built so sturdily and so well balanced throughout that it will stand up under exceptionally strenuous service. This improved truck is the latest product of the Republic factories. It is their final achievement perfected from experience in building the more than 50,000 Republic Trucks now in use. At the Truck shows in all the principal cities it has attracted wide attention from everyone interested in motor trucks. "SJH Model 19 Republic INVINCIBLE A late type, Red Seal Continental Motor with an S. A. E. rating of 23.88 horse power at 1000 r.p.m., gives ample power. A 4 speed transmission provides great flexibility and added power in the low speeds where you need it most. Enlarged radiator wilh cooling capacity to meet the needs of any climate or emergency. Oilless bearings supplant grease cups on the brake shaft bracket and brake pedals. A late type float feed carburetor insures fuel economy and even constant power. Perfected oil governor holds truck to rated speed and delivers full power at all speeds. Wheels are artillery type; wheelbase 144", optional 1 68 " Firestone pressed on tires 36" x 4" front 36" x7" rear; pneumatics, extra price. Every feature that Republic's vast truck building experience has shown to be desirable has been incorporated in this new truck. It is a value that no truck buyer can afford to pass over. This truck is now on display at our sales rooms. Come in and see for yourself what a remarkably powerful and well balancedjob it is. Or telephone us and we will send our rep resentative who will give you full information. Pendleton Auto Co.
