Packard Men Canvass Condi
tions and Find No HI t
' Effects From Enter- "
ing Conflict.
Business conditions in the south' are
especially sound and prosperous. That
is the gist of a survey made by offi
cials of the Packard Motor Car com'
nany, just returned to the faotory
from a series of meetings in Cincin
nati, Baltimore and Atlanta.
To get a first-hand impression of
the situation in the territory from tne
Great Lakes to the Gulf and. east of
the Mississippi river, dealer conven
tions were arranged for the three cen
ters named. Twenty-hve dealers,
most of them representing small
southern cities and their tributary ter
ritory, were interviewed by Henry
Lansdale, manager of the carriage
sales department: K. b. Chamberlain
manager of the truck sales depart
ment, and O. .. Brown, manager tor
the eastern district.
The delivery situation was re
ported particularly good," said Mr.
Lansdale. "Only one dealer responded
fair". All the rest were highly pleased
with the condition. 1
"All dealers were in an optimistic
frame of mind. Each of the confer
ences brought out that its particular
territory was teeling a stimulus trom
the war, rather than any depression.
There was one funny feature to the
war talk. Dealer after dealer re-
nnrred that the war hadn't hurt him,
bu. :hat he understood it was slack
ing up things a few" districts away.
And when we got over to those dis
tricts, they were untouched by the
war, but heard somebody else was.
The war seems to be highly migra
tory, so far as any bad effects on
Business are concerned."
Dorrjs President Visits
Omaha; Is Well Satisfied
W. R. Colcord, president of the
Dorris Motor Car company, spent
last Monday with H. H. Cannon, Dor
ris district representative, and ex
pressed himself as very well satisfied
with the Omaha activities.
Mr. Colcord believes that the west
will figure in strong on motor ve
hicle purchases and believes the field
Jnusnal so far as trucks are contented.
Make Wedding Trip With Oxen;
50 Years Later Repeat With Anto
To cross the- plaint by ox teams
and. horses over the trail which cut
the path for what is now known as
the Lincoln highway and then on the
fiftieth anniversary of their wedding
to drive over the same trail with a
1917 Mitchell "Six" is an occasion to
be enjoyed by very few.
George Hollaway of Oakland, Cat.,
and his wife have just celebrated
their fiftieth anniversary and to re
peat their early history drove into
Gilroy once again, this time, however,
in a Mitchell car instead of by ox
team.
Three years after Hollaway came
to California Mrs. Hollaway crossed
the plains by a horse-drawn schooner
and coming by Gilroy met her hus
band. .
A part of the weddine ceremonv
was the taking up of their abode in
their present home, in which they
have lived during the fifty years. At
the recent celebration there were two
ot the witnesses of the marriage and
among the others present was Judge
Short of Hanford, a brother of Mrs.
Hollaway; Mrs. Henry Hecker, the
wife of the president of the bank of
Gilroy; Mrs. Hollaway's daughter and
Ray E. Hollaway and family, so well
known in automobile circles of the
Pacific coast.

Campaign for Enforcement
Of Headlight Ordinance
The "no glare" ordinance is to be
strictly enforced, according to Chief
or ronce Dunn. .
The city ordinance was supported
by the last state legislature and the
"no glare" requirement, made state
wide. The Iowa legislature passed a law
almost identical with the Nebraska
law.
As a matter of fact riding with glar
ing lights anywhere is liable to sub
ject the motorist to delay and in
convenience if not arrest and fine.

, In the "Loafing" Range
Many a lesser powered six even many a four must
concede economy laurels to the Peerless Eight for its
paring use of fuel. -
Yet you have all the toft, smooth, lively performance
which youwould expect in an eight of the utmost class
and distinction. The Peerless, in its "loafing" range,"
gives you everything you would ask of your car in
everyday, ordinary driving.
cEigpt
In the "Sporting" Range
But when you want a world of power or a tremendous
burst of speed when you want emergency performance
which only the super-powerful cars of the ultra class can
give you, your Peerless Eight will respond to your com
plete satisfaction. You have only to open the throttle
wider to call upon her "sporting" range and utterly
change her whole character. The response is immediate
capable thrilling. v
Let us show you in the Peerless Eight the joy of big power without the burden of big expense,')

Margin .of 'VQ
-to build a GOOD motor car the maker must build bet
ter than the demands of ORDINARY USE require. The
car must be given a RESERVE STORE OF QUALITY
to be called upon only where ORDINARY perform
ance falls short. v
THE Velie has been Built with this
Margin of Quality.
Every part has been made better
than ordinary usage requires.
The Velie car has been built for
extraordinary service built to con
quer hard hills, deep mud, bad roads.
Built for steady, hard service over
a long period of years.
The Velie Continental Motor is
made under Velie supervision in the
great Continental factories. It de
velops far more power than ordinary
driving requires. I
The Tlmken Axles, used both front
and rear on the Velie, with extra
large Tinmen bearings all around,
guarantee a far greater margin of
safety than most makers consider
necessary. . . y

Every unit of Velie construction is
built better than is necessary for ordi
nary motoring.
Quality plus Super-quality in every
part. '
Increased demands for so good A
car have brought the production
total up.
Big production has kept the price
down, so that there is no other car
on the market offering so many high

as the Velie, at so
low a price. ........

Save Three
Hours out of
Every Four
Your Horses
Work by Using
FormaTruch
350
F.O.B. Chicago
Every minute wasted on the road by slow,
inefficient hauling and delivery costs you
real money; Horses take from.1 three to
four times as long to cover the ground as
it will take you when you install Smith
Form-a-Trucks in your service. j
Three to four mile an hour is the best hones can do
with a ton load. Smith Form -a -Truck replaces the
slow, time wasting walk of horses with s speed of from ten
to fourteen miles an hour under every condition of work. '
And i costs no more to buy a Smith Form -a -Truck
than it does to buy a good pair of hones equal to the
work of hauling a ton load. If your hauling or delivery
requires all-day service every working day of the year,
you must have at least two teams for every wagon. ,
The sturdy, efficient, untiring Smith Form-a-Truck never
takes time out for rest, never has to lay off the job. It
works steadily day in and day out, always maintaining
its high speed, always moving its load quickly, easily,
and at lower cost than any other form of service you '
can buy. ' ' - ,
