The "Jackson" has proven Its worth under every condition and practical test. It has ful
filled expectations in the past it will not disappoint in the future. From every point of view It is
the best car that can be built for the money, and represents to the buyer more value for his outlay.
The "Jackson" has always been a car of individual design, graceful lines, classy and luxurious.
Built under competent personal Inspection, entirely In our own factory, Its reliability established
by seven years of satisfactory service. -
The 1910 "Jackson" retains all the distinctive features embodied in previous models, which
have served to make and maintain Its prestige: Overhead Cam Shaft, Valves inclined at 45 de
grees on opposite sides of cylinder heads. Self-contained Oiling System, Clutches all run in oil,
Tbree-Speed Selective Transmissions with ball bearings for both Shafts. All cars are equipped with
Splltdorf Magneto, Schebler Carburetor and Thermo-Syph6n water circulation. Greater reliability
cannot be found in any car, even at a much higher price.
FAR IN THE LEAD
The facts of the great 300 mile automobile race on
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last August, are fam
iliar history. In this race for the Wheeler & Schebler
trophy, the most valuable prize ever offered in a similar
contest, a "Jackson" stock chassis was' far in the lead
when the race was stopped, at the completion of 235
miles. The "Jnckson" "showed the way" to many cars
of greater rated po'wer and much higher price, and, dup
ing the run made 100 miles in 96 minutes.
But, we don't build "racers"; simply safe,
reliable, economical and servicable cars.
UNIT "POWER PLANT". "Jackson" Models "30," "40" and "50" are designed with Unit
Power Plant. This meahs that the Motor, Fly Wheel and Transmission are all encased in one
"housing." Keeps in the oil, keeps out the dirt.
All "Jackson" Cars are hung on full Elliptic Springs, front and rear. Frame is dropped two
Inches in the rear with a corresponding' drop In Ihe front axles. This allows for ample Spring Ac
tion. The car is carried close to the ground, while the actual axle road clearance has been mater
ially Increased.
With full Elliptic Springs, front and rear, the "Jackson" covers rough roads at high speed,
with less jolting and consequent strain on the chassis pleasant for the rider economical for the
owner. I ,

Ha cam Into the salesroom with the air
of a man who had the price and said: "I
want to buy an automobile."
"What grade of car have you In mind?"
the sales manager asked.
"Well, either black or red." he replied.
"Of course you can have any fuusn of
body or color you please," said the man
ager. "Have xoo made up your mind as
to power and cost?"
"Oh, I'm not particular . about that, so
long as the machine suits me."
.' "Well, just step outside." said the man
ager. "I've got something there that might
Interest you. Now here," opening the hood.
"la on of our regular six cylinder stock
tars. What do you think of that motor?"
"Does she do all right?"
"Walt and see." I
The sales manager took a look at the
peed lever, saw that It was set at neutral
and remarked: "She's been standing since
morning, but I guess she's held her com
ajreaaiun In some of the cylinders."
. He touched a small lever and the motor
began to bum. lie watched the machine
with an expression of admiration and
asked: -"How s that?"
"No noise?" said the prospective buyer.
"Not a bit," replied the sales manager,
"except the click of the air valve, and you
wouldn't hear that If the hood was closed.
Absolutely silent muffler." '
"No blue smoke blowing out?" the man
remarked.
"Perfect mechanical lubrication," said
the salesman; "all you have to do Is to
keep oil In your lubricating tank."
Then the salesman sounded the chime.
"Bounds like the beginning of a hymn,"
observed the wouldbe buyer.
"But what you want to know about,"
the salesman went on, "Is construction.
Now, these cylinders are bored with abso
lute accuracy, after being cast of the fin
est gray, metal. The rings are machined to
perfection, .the connecting rods I'll show
you one Inside are of the toughest bronze,
the boxings on the crank shaft are fastened
with nuts, locknuts and cotter pins, the
wrist pins are bushed with the best anti
friction metal, every wearing part of steel
Is case hardened and will wear like the
Jewelled bearings of a chronometer, the
carbureter la the latest nji-floodlng "
- "Did you say you fuVnUh them painted
either red or black?" the customer broke
"Certainly, sir; but that Is, as you know,
a minor -. On moment, excuse me."
By the time the sales manager had re
turned the possible . customer had made
next. There were certain deficiencies. In
his way of thinking. In the car that had
been shown to him, but he wtuld Inquire
the price painted either black or red.
The salesman told him he would dem
natrmt the car In the crowded streets of
the city, on the country roads, at hill
climbing and running through sand and
named the price.
"Now whaddye think of that proposition
for a swell car?" said the sales manager.
"Well, It seems to be all rlirht, all
right," replied the man, "but It's Just this
way: Down where I come from there
are maybe a dozen automobiles now and
the fellers that, own them are the kingpins
of the place. I've the money now and I
want to be In It with them I mean to be
ahead of 'em." '
"When they're getting ready to start
out the town knows there's something
doing. Do I want an automobile that
I'll fade away In noiselessly and never be
missed unless I fall to come back before
the week is out?
"Let me tell you what they do. They
call In the neighbors to help them back
the machine out of the shed. When It Is
straightened around they open the cover
of the engine and monkey with all the
contraptions inside. After they have done
this for awhile they knock off and go to
dinner. The crowd stays and watches for
them to come back. s
"Then they monkey with the lnsides of
the' thing some more, shut up the cover,
twist some things In the box of the wagon
Dealers Have
Many New Parts
for Auto Shows
Although Sealers Have 1910 Cars on
the Markets, They Have
Surprises.
Although several manufacturers haye
made announcements of their 1910 models
as early as last spring and summer, it Is
known that a number of them have "some
thing up their sleeves" that they are de
liberately holding back until show tim.
When these announcements were made, the
Impression gained considerable headway
that few changes were to be found In. the
majority of the cars, but a careful ex
amination reveals a score of changes of
one nature or another In nearly all of
them. At the tenth National Automobile
show to be held at Madison Sauare Gar
den, January 8-15, the public will be given
and go around In front of It. They get the be,t PPrtunl,y f 8eeln th ne
hold of the crank and look over their
shoulders to see If the way ahead Is clear.
The women have all the young onea out
of the road and crowd them back against
the fences.
"Then th erutomoblllst turns the crank,
and turns It some more. He goes back
and monkeys with something In the box
and comes around In front and turns
again. After turning the crank for a
while he throws off his coat and uses his
handkerchief,
Then he gives her another whirl and
she starts up, knocks - him over, breaks
off a hitching post and stops. II picks
himself up, says he forgot to set the
speed control at neutral or neuter, or what
ever It Is, and has her backed Into the
road again.
"After a lot more cranking 'she begins
to play a sort of devil's tattoo on the
atmosphere. She makes a noise Ilk tear
ing off clapboards and winds up with an
explosion that sets the babies squalling
and the dogs howling. Then she drops
Into a sort of double shuffle round, and
after he has twisted some more things
in the wagon box he settles down to about
the noise you hear In a boiler factory.
"""'Then he gets In, squeezes out of the
rubber ball a squawk that makes the
frightened young ones tip over backward,
and he's off. A streak of blue smoke
from the tail of the machine makes every
body sneeze, and as they watch him dis
appear In a cloud of dust and smoke they
can hear the squawking of the chickens
as they fly over the fences.
"That's what I call automoblllng. With
this contraption jou have shown me I
wouldn't be in It. I would slide out of
view without being noticed, as if I had
crawled under the back yard fence and
sneaked sway."" ,

models oC the old and standard makes of
cars of the members of the Association of
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, under
whose auspices the automobile show In
the garden Is held annually. The latest
models will be displayed side by side and
the public can compare their various points,

in general, "size up" what the makers
have to offer and note the, general ten

Although th general public hear com
paratively little of the commercial vehicle
branch of the automobllo Industry, the de
velopment of motor trucks and business
wagons has been going on steadily and In
terest in truck and wagon construction Is
greater than ever before. When one con
siders the business men and farmers who
are concerned about the motor truck, it
ould seem that the Interest In them must
ultimately be even more extensive than in
the pleasure cars. A careful study of the
motor trucks now being placed on the
market reveal more marked Improvements
and fewer freakish features. A complete
line of commercial vehicles will be found
in th basenfent at the garden show, and
this exhibition of the business wagon will
be well worth the attention of every one.
The motorcycle section of the garden
show also will b a big show in Itself and
a comprehensive one. A goodly proportion
of th public has been convinced that the
motorcycle la a safe, speedy and economi

play undoubtedly will excite keen Interest.

There is actually more value in the Ford Model "T" than in any other car at several hundred dollars more money.
Think It Over Here's the Model "T" Ford 1 four-cylinder, twenty-horse-power, five passenger, comfortable,
durable, practical touring car, complete with all the equipment, that costs from $150 to $300 additional in most other
cars and all this for, not $3,000 or $2,000 or one and a half thousand, at any of which a man would get his money's worth,
but for $1,000 f. o. b. Council Bluffs complete. No extras.
A $5000 Car will take you to your office in the morning or to the theater or social function in the evening. It will
carry you from one business engagement to another during the day and at night or when the cares of business are laid
aside, you call upon the car to provide pleasure for the family. But this Ford car will do all this just as satisfactorily
as any high priced car and more so than some.
To Avoid Arguments let's agree that some of the trimmings found on the high priced propositions are left off the
Ford. They are. But the difference in price will pay for a pile of trimmings, and the trimmings don't make one whit
better automobile. It isn't fuss and feathers that is needed to make the car you buy satisfactory; it's just plain auto
mobile, and if you get that for $1,000 and no more of it for double, why pay the extra?
The Model "T" Ford includes a magneto that's essential
to the satisfactory operation of a car, so it's built in and a part
of the engine, not an added accessory at a hundred or so more
dollars. It has a long, comfortable wheel base, it is not a dinky
runabout with tonneau crowded on behind. It's a four-cylinder
car, is shaft driven,, employs unit construction and three
point suspension, and is made of Vanadium steel. All in all
it would be a whopping big value atUouble the price.
Then Look at What Equipment is included. Experience
has, taught us that most buyers want a toji with other cars
that's an extra, they want a windshield, that's extra; a speed
ometer is a satisfaction, and that's extra; they want a stronger
light, and gas lamps are extra; and by the time they have bought all these things, the price, which is already higher than
the Ford, has been jumped another hundred or eo plus the magneto. There is nothing extra to buy for a Ford; these
things are all included.
After All, the Final Test of Value is what it will do. This is the proof of Ford value. It will go anywhere over any
kind of road, or lack of a road, more days or more years than the average car at a considerably higher price. It has
good appearance, speed and power, as well as hill climbing ability and good and bad roads negotiability. Repair bills
are 6mall and maintainance costs light. It is easily handled, easily kept up and always ready. It's a practical, every
day car for the man who wants a car.
High Priced Cars Render a peculiar service, for which Ihey must be given credit. They pull a lot of money out of
the safety vaults and put it into circulation. That's good. But there are a lot 'of us so fixed that most of our cash
already finds plenty of channels by which it returns to circulation. The Ford Model "T" costs little to buy and little
to maintain. The man on an average income can afford the purchase price and the up-keep cost.
The New York-Seattle Race was won by a Model "T" Fcrd against a field of .competition, none of which sold for
less than five times the Ford price. This winning car has traveled back overland, thus finishing a double transconti
nental. This car weighed less than oe-fifth the weight of its lightest competitor, a fact, by the way, largely respon
sible for its winning as it is also responsible for the low cost of maintainance for which a Ford car is noted.
