Commercial Street Phone 361 Salem. jj - IB i riciu - Oregon iBi Franklin, Elgin Six and Harroun from Here As th result of an important business transaction consummated last week by Lee L. Gilbert, one of the most promi nent automobile men of this eit;-, Sa '.m is to be the distributing center for the Willamette valley of the Franklin, Elgin Six and Harroun mjtor ears, aa well as the Federal Commercial Vehicles and Trucks. For some time M. Gilbert who came to Salem after a broad and successful experience with a number of the largest automobile establishments in Portland has been breaking records in soiling Elgin and Harroun cars in this field. Pleased with Salem, and encouaged with the business outlook in this field Mr. Gilbert, last week concluded a deal with J. C. Braly, Franklin distributor for the state of Oregon, whereby Mr. Gilbert takes over the selling privileges on that favorite high class car in Salem and contingent territory and he also convinced the officials of the Pacific KisselKar branch at Portland, that he was the right man to dispense the de pendable Federal truck in this same place. With contracts covering the Elgin Franklin, Harroun and Federal lines tucked away in his pocket Mr. Gilbert is now able to offer the discriminating motor car fanciers and buyers of this district a broad linj to choose from and he has cars of recognized worth and re putation. Because of its many exclusive fea tures, its economy of operation and known excellence of construction and performance the Franklin inuchin! has long been a distinct favorite among the veteran motorists of Oregon. The economy and endurance tests conducted by Franklin owners during the past few years have startled the entire motor car industry and have re sulted in the rush of so many urgent orders from all points of the country that the Franklin officials have been obliged to increase greatly the volume of output at the big factories in Syra cuse, New York. The Franklin prices in vogue this year range from $2,200 for the roadster, through to $3200 for the magnificently appointed enclosed jobs. The standard touring cars is now quo ted at $2250, same price as in 1914. No business man who has ever investi gated the commercial car market needs anv introduction to the Federal motor trucks, SIX PER CENT LIMITATION (Continued from page ou) ei ntes being wMtled up, among them the .lns-k Kogcrs estate, will run the increase in the Inheritance tax collec tions up to u,ioximutcly $300,000, ao cording to the state treasurer's esti mate.
