R60D RIVER QLAOnsS. TfiPASDA?, SKPTEMBER3, lOOS. fivo HIGH GRAOE AUTO CAR FOR $1,400 tor number of yean the bird of wage meant baa been waitiug to see high-class automobile piaoed oo the market for a moderate price and at jast bU wish in about to be jfiatiHed. The new oer ia known aa tbe E. M. F. and represents the combined skill of three ot the most expert automobile mechanic! in America. The letters E. M. F. represent tbe names of these men who compose Ibe Kverett-Metz-ger-Flanders Automobile company. Kvery part of the new ear ia made in their splendidly equipped Wayne plant situated in Detroit and iu their two other big Northern faatories, one situated iu Detroit and tbe other at Port Huron, Mich. This company has also associuted with tliem in this en terprise the Sludebaker Bros, com pany, iiinking one or Ibe largest and strouReat concerns of this kind iu the world. It is admitted by tiutomobile experts that in the new E. M 1 they have succeeded in building tbe best obi ever put out at this low cost. Tie combination ot improvements, equip ment, durability aud general high quality of tbe new car is said to be superior to any tire passenger maobiue ever manufactured for less than 12,500 and by many it is claimed not to be exceeded in generul utility aud all around good points by auy car manu factured at auy price. The E. M. 1''. will be sold on a basis of 81,400 delivered f. o. b. Portland and is the only Hve passenger oar ot this type with a lUG-inub wheel base thai has e-er been offered for any thing approaching this amount. Some of its main features ore its pow er apparatus, which consist ot four vertical cylindei motors cast in pairs and developing a libertl 30 horsepow er; double ignition system, including quadruple coil, coinmiuator and bat tery and a magneto, ibe latter not In cluded in tbe equipment of any other machine not coating at least $1,000 to $1,500 more thiiu the K. M. F. Several types of tbe new car are being placed on sale aud oomprhe besides the Uve-pastienger touting oar with roomy touueau, tbe runabout, road ster, single or double rumble, and an Innovation of the E. M. F. company known as the demi-touneau, in wbiob the latter can be detached leaving room for trunks and touring outfit. Tbe weight ot tbe car is 1,800 pounds and its equipment includes two acety lsue gas lamps, with generator, three oil lamps, burn aud kit of tools. In tact it is in every way a oomplete, bigh quality machine ready tor use with all its parts direot from the fao tory for 11,400. Realizing the superior qualities of the E. M. F. car and that it is in a class by itself, the well-known Stride baker Bros, company bus joined with the Everett-Metzger-1' landers com pany iu its manufacture andwill handle tbe sale of the rnaoblne'west of tbe Mississippi river. To cover tbe big demand for this high-quality, low-priced car the Studebaker com pany, through its Portland ollloe, baa made C. K. Bone, of Hood Kiver.speo lal agent for tne territory comprising Hood Kiver, Wasco, Sherman, Morrow and Uilliam counties. During a trip which Mr. Bone recently made iu tbe east be visited tbe fuotory of tbe Everett-Metzger-Flanders company at Detroit, Mich., aud made a thorough examination of tbe new car. He in so thoroughly satisfied that it is every thing that combines to make tbe idt-al oar at a moderate cot-t that be has or dered a carload ot six ot tbe new ma chines, 'these were bought no a spot oaau order and will be shipped so as to reach a poiut iu tbe new territory where tbe most cars Hie sold about tbe 15th of October and will be exhibited bo'b here and i) tbe surrounding oouuties. As they are the first cars of this type to be introduced uot only iu this section but in the United States, their ooming is beiug awaited with interest. In appearance this lut at ninduction iu tbe automobile wur Id has all tbe beauty of liue and smoothness ot finish of tbe standard cars, and with its great combination nf imnrovementi. sood workmanship and low price seems destined to fill the long standing demand for a bigh orndn rnr at a moderate tirioe. A feat ure that will be much appreciated by mirchaseH of tbe E. M. F. is the laot that h rnmnleta sunnlv ot all parts of tbe maobiue will be kept constantly on band at tbe Portland warecooms of tha Studebaker Co.. tbus doing away with tbe long delay in ordering from thn fHctorv.
