The summer is Fast approaching and you are no doubt contemplating purchasing an Auto
mobile, and naturally ought to investigate before buying. There are many questions
to consider and probably among the foremost are the following:
The standing of the factory making the car in consideration;
their policy towards looking after your needs. A guarantee
is one thing and a policy is another.
Consider the endurance and reliability records held by
the car stock car records not a car made in subterfuge of
the word stock.
The agency handling the car; their facilities and disposi
tion towards caring for your needs. Look up their financial
rating, by this you get a good insight towards their business
methods.
Look into their management system; find out how many
loop holes there are for misunderstandings and dissatisfac
tion. If they are protecting themselves, they will protect
their customers. If they are keeping down their expenses
they will keep down yours.
When you have made up your mind on the car you want
tell some competitive salesman, he will probably bring to
your notice some points that you have overlooked. Don't
take all he says as gospel.

THE LOGICAL CAR
FOR HOOD RIVER
Our most valuable customers are the ones that investi
gate, and the discriminating buyer. The comparisons we
make of other cars we will put in writing.
"It's Just What We Say It Is"
We put our lowest priced and lowest powered 1911
model, the model A. B., 16 horse-power, two cylinder,
strictly a stock car in every meaning of the word, and one
like you can buy any day, in an endurance trial, starting the
27th day of July, 1910, and still going on. Up to date this
car has run 3,800 odd miles. It ran all winter and carried all
kinds of loads. Don't forget that the car that runs all winter
will run all summer, but not always visa versa. Others prob
ably could have done so, but didn't. There is a lot of differ
ence between "didn't" and "did."

UNION TO INCREASE
STORAGUAPACITY
At a meeting of the directors of the
Hood River Apple Growers Union
Tuesday afternoon a contract was let
to liell & Wildman, of Portland, to
install in their plant a refrigerating
machine of 50 tons capacity. By this
increase tne cold storage capacity will
he almost quadrupled. The present re
frigerating machine is 15 tons capa
city. This action was taken in order
that the refrigerating capacity will be
ready whenever the Union decides to
make an increase in the size of its
building and thus make more storage
space.
C. H. Sproat, manager of the Union,
in discussing the matter states that it
is not probable that the building will
be enlarged this year unlfss the crop
at a later date shows signs of being
a bumper one. He remarked that the
board of directors were well pleased
that Bell Wildman had Jmade the
lowest bid on the finstallation rof the
machinery; for the 15 ton plant, which
was installed by them, has always
given eminent satisfaction. For the
present the Union will not ncrease the
capacitv of its 12 ton ice tank.

The Upper Valley continues to make

begun thi-t fall. In addition to boxes
the company will manufacture straw
berry crates.

session of the legislature is concerned.

the bill at Olympia, returned Wednes

through the senate almost two to one.
