INTERSTATE MAKES HARD
RUN THROUGH THE MUD
Immediately after tho extremely heavy,
rains last Wednesday an Inter-State
seven-passenger car driven by W. W.
Miller, salesman for the Inter-State Auto
oompany, "poked Ha nose" out of tho
garago at Ord, Neb,, headed for Omaha.
The route taken was along the Loup
river Into St. Paul, to Central City and
on Into 'Omaha along the Platte valley
route. Over hills, which with their heavy
veneer of mud looked like young moun
tains, through heavy sand, gumbo and
alkali water holes most often up to the
hubs, the car pulled steadily without a
whimper.
When tho car pulled Into Cushlng the
wheels had much the same appearanoe
as a circus chariot Wheel. No spokes
were In sight, the gumbo was packed in
solid. Great solid masses of mud rested
on the running boards and the fenders
looked as though ther was no longer
such a thing as gravity.
Out of Clarks a few miles a place was
found where soft dirt had been dragged
Into largo water hole which extended
across the width of the road A man
standing by with a heavy team volun
teered to "hitch on." He was thanked
cry kindly and the car went through In
answer to the throttle.
There seemed to be no hills high enough
or no soft grades deep and heavy enough
for tho big Inter-State, and when the car
was driven Into tho garage It looked the
part of having been through a "mud
battle." After being washed up and
driven out, however, It sailed off as
though but an ordinary demonstration
had been given.
PRACTICAL PURPOSES BACK
OF OAKLAND'S BEAUTY
"We have often boasted that our car
Is the most beautiful on the market."
says J. IL Ecclcston, goneral sales man
ager of the Oakland Motor Car company,
"and we believe that we have a right, to
make that claim. But the eauty and
distinction of our car, its excluslvo fea
tures, are not without their utilitarian
value. The esthetto and the practical
have been happily united, for In nearly
every Instance every Idea of beauty has
Its reason for being on the purely prac
tical side."

A Car for Comfort
As Well as Performance
Its roomy size and graceful, clean-cut lines made the
Midland the most admired car at tho Chicago Show.
Its capacity, both front and rear, is exceptional. The
rear seat is extra wide and capacious. Tho tonneau is
roomy enough for carrying luggage, rugs and robes
without orowding. There is ample space in front, af
fording comfort to tho driver.
Tho lines of tho body round out gracefully, doors aro
wider than customary, the fender rolls up smoothly
with no beading or rivets to mar its appearance. The
running board is clear, lamps aro inserted in dash.
Extra tiros are carried behind. No car surpasses the
1913 Midland in Hb trim, beautiful lines, in its comfort
and convenience. Nor is it excelled in mechanical con
structionin power and performance. Eight years of
successful motor oar building have proved to us what
is necessary in a superior car. The specifications will
tell you they aro all embodied in the now Midland.
