J in i f ii tr the entire porlod of the war, the Colo Motor Car Company through Its foreign trade department In New York, kept In constant touch with World markets. Although Is was Impossible to ship many care from this country, Pablo Hkm, expert manager of the Cole or ganization, was able to establish rep resentation at points throughout the worjd, subject to the removal of re strictions on private trade enterprises. Thus at the time of the armistice the company had a sound basUs upon which to expand its foreign business. Immediately after the war's end, the Cole foreign trade department be gan to strengthen it8 trade lines. In the last several months It has estab lished Cole representatives through out the world. As a result Cole Aero Eight are now being shipped to Sin gapore, Bombay, (India), Sumatra Java, Korea, Shantung, Japan, Ma nila, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii an Islands, Brazil, Argentine, Uruguay 1'aragiiav.

AUTO THIEVES MAY BE PUT IN TWO CLASSES AMATEURS FEAR LIGHT EDDIE PULLEN TO QUIT Automobile thieves can be placed In tow classes profes sional and amateur. The profes sional, an expert mechanic usu ally, is equipped with tools to make virtually every safety de vice valueless. Ho will usually steal the car he wants regard less of obstacles. Heavy punish ment alone can discourage this type of criminal. But the amateur is more often an opportunist. He steals auto mobiles or accessories occasion ally because unusually good op portunities present themselves. He may be likened to the sneak thief who will only rob a house wbon a, window Is up or a door unlocked. To foil him we must consider the human nature of the car owner, as carelessness is his greatest ally. Few people make It a practice of parking near a street light, theater sign or brightly lighted window. The amateur works best In the dark. This should zo remembered In selecting parking places. sport for all time If there was a place for him In the Chevrolet organization. Durant told him that he would place him In one of the Chevrolet branches on the Coast if he would promise to give up racing for all time. This was easy for Pullen, and he was put to work with the sales force of the Tvs Angeles branch under J. B. Appleby, recently appointed branch manager. A number of followers of the race sport asked Durant if he would not consent to have Pullen drive occas sk. oally, in some of the big events. The young Sales Manager, who Is also a racing enthusiast, said that for Pullen to drive Just one race, would be equal to his resignation. Durant wishes to develop an executive out of Pullen ad he feels that with his wide ex perience and wider acquaintance, he will met wjth great success In the sales branch of the motor car industry. Eddie Pullen, the famous little speed king who has thrilled thousands of race followers all over the United States, has forsaken the speed trail for all time. He has become associated with R. C. Durant. son of W. C. Dur ant of General Motors fame, who is vice president and sales manager of the Chevrolet organisation on the Pa cific Coast, and he has given Durant his word that he will never again sit at the wheel of a racing car. For some time Pullen has been con templating a new line of endeavor, and after the last race on the new JjOS Angeles Speedway, he told Durant that he was ready to quit the speed Iff TIRES bIIHIb sbVUHHI IHHIMIIHHBHHHHIilllBHH SMILE AT MILES Get you there and bring you back with a smile NEIL & BARKER RIVERSIDE . ..

OF CARS IN ALL U.S. Invasion of the American farm by the motor car is yearly becoming more pronounced. Fifteen years ago, auto mobiles were looked upon with stern disapproval by the average farmer, but today the "chunk-chunk" they make in passing over the country roads is as common a sound as the mooing of cows, the clucking of chick ens, or the quacking of ducks. According to figures recently made public by the Diamond Rubber Co., Inc., one-third of all the automobiles In the United States jare owned by farmers. To b exact, the number is 2,466,475. as compared with 7,555, 269 in the entire country. The figures show there are 39 auto mobiles for every 100 farms through out the country. Some of the states where the number of automobiles Is comparatively low show the highest average. In Nevada, where there are only 3,427 autps owned by farmers, there are 127 for every 100 farms. Nevada, with 11,699 cars, has the same average or 127 per 100 farms. Iowa leads with the largest number of farm-owned automobiles, having 184,796, or 85 for every 100 farms Illinois has 147,562, Texas 146,598, New York 141,792, Pennsylvania 138, 772, Ohio 187,668, Nebraska 111,152. Kansas 11,648.

Triplex Springs smooth out the rough road bumps! "Rides as no light car ever rode before." "It would be an insult to put shock absorbers on this car. "The most advanced piece of work yet produced in the motor car line." These are some of the sincere compli ments paid Overland 4 by proud owners. The Sedan weighs only 200 pounds more than the Touring Car ana OVERIiVN'n SAMS CO. E. G. SAYIXlt EAST COURT AND THOMPSOX Si Wisconsin Buys 4028 Trucks In tho year 1919 the people of Wisconsin purchased 3fi.l 10 automobiles and 4, 028 motor trucks. At $1,000 apiece for automobiles, the investment was $36,110,000. Assuming that motor trucks cost $1,500 each, this repre sents an investment of $6,042,000 or a Brand total of $42,152,000. Using these figures as a basis officials In the Motorize the Farm Bureau, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., estimate there will be at least 200.000 prospects for motor trucks in 1920. MAKE HIGHWAYS SAFE IS Make the highways of the nation safe. From one end of fche country to the other this doctrine will be spread this spring during "Safety -First" cam paigns. Motorists and pedistralns alike will be taught the stern necessity of "Watching out for the other fellow' and theroyby reducing the number of avlodable traffic accidents. In each city where a campaign will be held, police officials will cooperate with civic organizations and the auto mobile club, and they will be aided by the field organization of the G. F. Goodrich Rubber Company, the com pany which originated and popularix-. ed the "Safety-First" slogan. The need for educating the people in ways to prevent accidents was seen by the Goodrich company six: years ago. The "Safety-First" slogan was adopted as a catch-phrase likely to be remembered by anyone who saw or heard it. To popularize the slogan, the Goodrich carried it in all their advertisements, placed in on sign posts and bill boards, and in numerous other ways brought it to the attention of the people. Tho Safety-First movement gained ground rapitlly throughout the coun try. One organization after another took It up and launched campaigns to make the safety-first principles more widely known. As a result, tho num ber of avoidable accidents began to decrease appreciably, in spite of the increased amount of traffio on tho streets. Today, "Safety-First" Is one of the most common expressions in tho En glLh language. Evrryvno knows what it means, and- tho principles It tends for. It has caused people to j realize that nine-tenths of all traffic accidents are avoidable. It has taught motorists and pedestralns that by ob serving certain simple rules both will be feneflted and the death toll from accidents decreased. To still further stimulate Interest in the Safety-First movement, the Na tional Traffic Officers' Association has made arrangements for cooperating In all campaigns to be waged this spring. Tho association will also hold an exhibition of safety devices as one of the features of its annual conven tion In San Francisco next August, A Income Taxes from Goodyear Uncle I Sam's face is wreather in a gratify ing smile when he contemplates in come tax returns from The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
