SUCCEEDS RALPH DE PALM A. Alfhoos'h H U early in the season, Votor Are, AmnrtM'i foremost auto mobile trade : mafialne, haa taken time rf tha forelock and hu awarded tha premier honor of ajnerloa to the sturdy Btuta oar, and to Earl Cbopcr. Tha oo darful snowing of 8tuta cara at Indlan enells, Chicago, Elgin and Minneapolis has prompted: Motor Aca to give tha Stuta tha American road race and tha Amarlean apd way championship for tha aaaaoD of 191 S. in 191S tha Btuta, oy a phonomenal series of wlnsr established ttaelf aa tha road race champion for America for tha eeeson. Durini tha season of 1914 tha German Mercedes, driven by Ralph Da Palma, secured thla honor. But 1915 brings tha champtonahlp once mora to tha Btuta, with Earl Cooper driving. Tha record of the Stuta la the moat apactacular of any ever established during-' tha history of automobile racing. (Harry C. Stuta, builder and designer of tha car. haa entered twenty Kuu cara In fourteen consecutive races and nine teen of these cars finished in the money. In the Elgin-Chicago trophy, the Elgin national trophy and In the Minneapolis speedway race tha Btuta cara won first and second, and In the latter race the closest car to the second Stuta was forty two miles behind. In the Minneapolis speedway race of WO mllea the two Stuta cars finished lesa than one-quarter of a second apart; or, in other' words, less than ten feet apart. The finish was the closest and most sensational In the an nal of motor racing, and the greatest achievement of the Btuta since lie corn petitlve debut In the Indianapolis sweep stakes of 1911. Cooper captured the -premier honors of the day and a purse of 120,000., Measured by apace, his margin of victory was less than half a car's length. . ' Cooper la First. Pari Cooper, In winning the San Diego road raca January 9, 1915, and his . vic tories at Elgin, give him beyond the question of a doubt' tha American road raca championship for the 1915 season. Carlo Reeta comes very close to equaling Cooper In thla record. Cooper having one aacond place better than Rests. These honors, coming to tha Btuta in Its fourth year of racing, have estab lished beyond tha question of a doubt tha supremacy of tha American-made car. Tha record of the Stuta has been due more to a consistent performance in every race entered than to apeclal burst of speed, or races won through extraor dinary . good luck. Tha Stuta stamina, the aturdy motor and the sturdy chassis, driven by two master drivers, demanda tha respect of every automobile enthusi ast In America and Europe today. Harry Stuta, , In a recent atatement, made very plain his reasons for continu ing his cars in tha raca course after having achieved such wonderful vic tories.. His main Idea was tha perfection of the car It self, and lir obtaining thla perfection he haa found racing the quick eat and aureat meana of testing a car and 'the hardest possible service in the leant possible time. Harry Stuta states that he ahall continue racing for this reason, only. Thev racing, record of.tha Btuta car ahows beyond any question of a doubt that the Stuta construction has been brought' up to tha highest possible state of perfection now possible. , I : '.

Buyers are ooming to the festival this year more Interested than aver before in automobiles. But this vast number by no meana fills the demand In the rural districts. No greater evidence of thla can be found than In driving through the country any Sunday. Any number of bugglea and carriages will be met on the road; before every church are horse drawn vehicles. The owner of every one of these carriages la a prospective buyer of an automobile, not ten years from now, but in tha near future.

McVlcker, man ager. 'Tho exhibit last year started ua off with a rush on our 1915 business, sent us on the way to establishing new Em pire sale record for the territory. With the new Four, a development of the tre mendously successful previous Empire model, refined in every way, roomier, and even higher powered, and the Six, a high-powered, big, light weight car of ex ceptional roominess, we have a complete line. The price of the Four haa been greatly reduced. Thla one car typifies the rapid advance of the automobile In dustry. -'The now Six is a sensational cat and will be a big feature of our ex hibit.
