NEW AUTO-CARRIAGE IN TOWN.

Jud Maines and J. M. Knapp and son went to Kankakee Saturday and drove back a two-seated International / auto-carriage of 22-horse power which Mr. Knapp has purchased for his livery barn. The machine looks much like an ordinary two-seated carriage, has regular carriage size wheels with solid rubber tire, and is chain drive. Its speed limit is 25 miles an hour and the cost complete with top, magneto, three lamps, etc., is SBOO. While it looks rather odd beside the kind of autos we are used to seeing, it is an easy riding machine and has the necessary power to drive it over any kind of a road.
