of the part played by tlicao decoy vch
aula, "myalury ships" or "Q" craft
haa not boon revnulod. It la evident
that several of them were used to
luro tho Hun undersea craft to their
diHitriicllon.
The first encounter mentioned 1y
tho Admiralty took pluMj In .March,
1010, when the Karnboroiigb, dis
guised aa a collier wan uttacked by a
aubmurlno. The "panic party" took
to tbo bouts and when Iho aubmurlno
cloned In to about H00 yards the
Furnborougli opened firo on her. The
IMinat submerged and the Furnbor
ougli panned over her dropping depth
bombs. Tho suhmarlno reappeared
standing almo.il on cud. Flvo rounds
wore fired Into her nt nearly point
blank ran mi and sho went to the bot
tom of tho seu.
Prior to that action tho Farnbor
cugb had crulaod thruout tho entire
winter without being attacked.
Within a month tbo Farnborough
coaxed another suhmarlno near en
ough to sink her by gunfire. Com
mander Campbell lutcr was trans
furred to Hie command of tho Q-S
nnd In tbo following February, 191 C
hla vessel was torpedoed by a aub
murlno which eventually approached
ao near that a ahot from the Farn
borough beheaded tbo U-boat captain
aa ho climbed out of tho tower, the
suhmarlno was sunk with her con
ning tower open and her crew pour
ing out. Destroyera towed tbo Q-5
In and beached her. For this exploit
tho Victoria Cross was awarded to
Campbell.

Over 150 of these cars were sold by us in
Jackson County during 1917
Over 200 of these cars were sold by us in
this county in 1918
We expect to sell 250 or 300 cars the coming year
The Reasons Why We Have Sold
So Many Automobiles
IT'S IIKH THIS When you buy something and it turns out to be not only as good, but even bet
ter, than it was represented well, you just naturally become a booster for it and for the people who
sold it to .vou. Don't you? ,
Every car sold by- us means a more than satisfied owner. The Repeat Orders wc have received from
many of our owners prove that. Their complete satisfaction is one of the two big reasons why we've
sold so many cars in our territory. ,
T.HE OTHER BIG REASON IS OUR SERVICE, the like of which was never before known in Med
ford. The service is organized to giver ever'' Hudson, Chalmers and Maxwell owner 300 per cent ef
ficiency, with expert machinists hi charge.
For example.. In the stock room we have hundreds of parts for these cars. ,
Our business has grown to such an extent that we had to move into
LARGER AND MORE CONVENIENT QUARTERS
in order to properly take care of our customers
We have also added to our line the Moline Tractor.
We carry Maxwell Trucks, Goodrich Tires and Auto Accessories
We Wish One and All
A Merry Christmas and
A Happy Prosperous New Year
