In the Good Old Days in 1396:
When we pay 75 cents per dozen for eggs we remem
ber the time when we could buy three laying hens for 76
cents, in the good old days of '96.
When we pay $2.00 per bushel for wheat. It's not
much, it makes us feel funny, when 52 cents equaled the
same money m the good old ibyt.
Whpn vonr annendix went on a strike, .the Dr. said
"Poor old Mike has inflammation of the bowels." They
buried him in 1896.
In those good old days, women wore long skills, which

funerals in 1896.

SAYLES DODGE
DEALER HERE
Given West Side of County
as Territory for Handling
This Popular Car
Announcement is made by Dodge
Brothers, Detroit, of the appoint
ment of B. P. Sayles, proprietor of
the Sayles Motor Car company, as
their dealer in Independence. He
will conduct a regulation service sta
tion in connection with his sales
room on C street.
The remarkable popularity of
Dodge Brothers motor vehicles has
caused atuomobile men all over the
country to clamor for sales privi
leges, but Dodge Brothers policy of
quality in selling methods, as well as
quality in the car, requires a pains
taking investigation in every in
stance before a selection is made.
In Mr. Sayles Dodge Brothers have
a dealer on whom they believe they
may rely for both progressiveness
and fair businss methods.
The prompt manner in which
Dodge Brothers assumed one of the
foremost positions in the automo
bile industry is regarded as a strik
ing testimonial to the high regard(
in which their name was held by the
public even before they marketed a
motor car bearing their name. Pri
or to that time Dodge Brothers had
built the vital parts for more than a
half million cars, establishing a rep
utation for thoroughness and me
chanical skill.
This reputation has been more
than upheld. It is said of Dodge
Brothers in explanation of their un
"u'sual success, that they spare no
money or effort in building a car to
, suit their particular ideas of thor
oughness in manufacture. What
their ideas on this subject mean to
the purchaser of their product may
'.be imagined from the fact that they
have a staff of more than 700 in
spectors who do nothing but check
up on workmanship in the various
processes of manufacture. In ad
dition, there are several large de
partments devoted entirely to simi
lar work, such as the physical and
chemical laboratories where raw and
finished materials are subjected to
tests so thoroueh as to leave no
doubt of the quality.
It is significant that the first
Dodge Brothers motor car ever
built was made ud exactly as a car
is made in the regular line of pro
duction. Ordinarily the "experi
mental job", as the first car is
known, is built of castings because
of the e-reat time and expense in
volved in preparing dies for forg
ings. Dodge Brothers, however,
decided that their experimental car
should be like the car they expected
to build, in every detail, so tnat
neither they nor the public might be
"fooled.'' So they spent almost a
year in making: these dies and pre
paring otherwise for a completely
manufactured car. As a result,
when the car was built, they knew
what they had and what they and
the public might expect of their pro
duct.
Public approval of their principles
of thoroughness is seen in the rapid
expansion of Dodge Brothers
works made necessary by public - de
mand. In December, 1914, it was a
plant of less than 20 acres. Today
Dodge Brothers works covers over
100 acres of floor space, and there is
enough construction work under
way to bring the total well above
120 acres.

FOR REAL TIRE ECONOMY USE
Wlichelin Tires & Tubes
You get more value for your money than from any
other tire or tube on the market today. This may
seem like an extravagant statement, but let us con
vince you of the truth of it.
Michelin Tubes are Ring-shaped all others are
straight. When a tube other than Michelin is de
flated, its inner and outer circumferences are of
practically equal length. The ( inside of the casing
however, is much shorter around the beads than
around the tread. Consequently when the straight
tube is put into the casing, either the inner circum
ference of the tube is too long or its outer circum
ference is too short. Such tubes are easily pinched
in fitting ; wear thin in spots, or break where creas
ed or folded, and under the pressure of inflation
and use.
Considering that they are fully guaranteed, Mich
elin Tires and Tubes are very reasonable in price.
As an illustration:
