EG IE NTT E OF TRE NEW KLAMATH FALLS In presenting to the people of Klamath coun ty this special section of The Herald, devoted exclusively to the Acme Motor company, the various individuals identified with the construc tion of the great garage it owns and the firms whose lines it carries, we do so with a sense of complete satisfaction. The Acme Motor com pany is no ordinary institution. It is not merely a corporation created for the purpose of selling and repairing trucks, tractors and automobiles. It represents more than mere commercialism. It represents and will stand for the new Klamath Falls that is rising around us, the city that is des tined to be the Mistress of Oregon's Inland Empire. The men whose brains conceived and brought into being the Acme Motor company, and whose money has made possible this great institution, are not ordinary men. In a distant community they would be to us outstanding figures, but like the prophets of old, we look upon what they have done and are doing as a mere incident, not but that we value it, but its very proximity dwarfs its potential possibilities as a factor in the up building of Klamath county. As time moves on and we begin to realize the great benefits this work of theirs is to our city, it will then be seen that it was due to such men as these that (Continued to Page 1C) Jame Driscoll Wrote the Policies Jamas II. Driscoll, local insuranco agent, has written tho (Insuranco policies for tho Acme garago, and that adds moro stability to tho sor rlco offered tho public by this gar ago. Of courso tho building Is con structed according to all tho demands of adequato protection, but neverthe less flro Insuranco Is absolutely rice ossary, and Mr, Driscoll, through his company, has supplied this protec tion. "My company Is big, rellablo, and prompt," says Mr. Driscoll, "and tho Acme Motor company knows It." Incidentally, tho Acme Motor com pany says that what II r. Driscoll says Is truo as Qospel, and 1b satis fied with Its policies. Plastering Was Done By C. W. Thomas "Tho plastering In tho Acme Mo tor garage, a very particular part of tho Interior finish by tho way, wns dono by Charles W. Thomas, who can bo found at East Main street and Wan Hand avenuo. Mr. Thomas did tho work In Jig ttmo, and ovon a per son who knows very Httlo about plastering can sco with one oyo that ho did a corking good job. Yes, tho Acme Motor company Is satisfied with Mr. Thomas' work. A new automobile accessory auto matically compensates for worn brnko linings by shortening tho throw of tho brako rods. An English automobllo of tho road stor typo can carry two addtlonal pas sengers In auxiliary seats on oach sldo In front of tho rear fenders. L I WS supplied ey IL 1 Two local companies, tho Lako sldo Lumber company and tho Big Uasln Lumber company, supplied tho lumbor and Interior finish for tho now Acme Motors company garago. Tho builders of tho garago natural ly cast about for the best lumber available at tho most reasonable prices, but tholr search In this re gard was of short duration for It soon became apparent that homo firms wcro ablo to supply Jnst tho lumber that was needed at prices that wero entirely satisfactory. Add ed to theso reasons was a natural deslro to favor homo firms, and tho result Is tremendously pleasing to tho garago owners, Thero was noth ing wanted In the lumber or wood working line that theie companies woro not ablo to furnish, and this fact must bo accepted as a lesson to builders who believe It Is necessary to do their buying In other places. You can get what you need right hero at homo. INDIVIDUAL IIA1.V SHIELDS Individual folding rain shields to bo attached to tho backs of the seats have been Invented for tho comfort of riders on tho tops of motor om nibuses In bad weather. A new rhepstat for dimming auto mobllo headlights can be clamped to a car's steering post. vr cSHMIiMiTJi IbbbbbbbbbI H il BB H" fill I IBBBBBBBBB jPLmph illilllllll risssssssH icfl'' IbQESbbY' bbbBBIPMIbMbbbbbbbbmbbbbbV IbbbbbbbW rV Mm r 1 fallH.fish. .BBBBH ISSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBbB jmJ-Xr lni BSmSLBsiswssmIB The New E$$ex Cabriolet The Car You saw in the Movie going into "The Devil's Punch BqwI" BBBBBBBBBBBBBB BBBBB BBJBB SBBBBBBBBBBBBS BBBBB BBBBBS) BllBfBVBBBBB?SH!BBiMBSBBBHHkBBBflBBWBBBB H wM I BBBkBBBBBBBBBGBBBBbBBH2nKRBKfi L3 1 jrr v- -r- n for .
