It will be placed at the east end of the park and the; base will be bedded in concrete. It will extend about fifty feet above the ground. It did not cost the city very much as it is made up of sections of iron pipe of different, sizes that were secured in town and the work was done by city employes. A salesman for- a large battery concern spent a day with us last week advising us*to put in a service station for their battery. His main argument was that we wouldn’t get enough battery repairing to keep us alive with the Vesta line. We don’t want a big repair business for we figure such a business would be founded on dissatisfaction./ To enjoy a healthy business our customers must be satisfied, both with the action of their battery and the service we render. This does not mean we do not repair batteries, for we do, and we do it right; but when every car is equipped with a Vesta battery there will be very little repair wprM needed on the battery itself. We figure wfe will be busy' keeping the motors, generators, regulators, wiring, etc., in perfect condition.— RENSSELAER GARAGE.

36.8 MILES ON ONE GALLON

Of Gasoline —Record Made by Ma.v- . \ wt’H Auto Wednesday. , In an official, test conducted under the auspices of A. E, Shafer jfc Son Wednesday, a Maxwell automobile covered the remarkable distance of 36.8 miles on one gallon of gasoline. It is the claim of the manufacturers that the Maxwell auto will cover more miles per nf gasoline than any other car made. Two cars that have been in use about a year, belonging to C. E. Prior and James N. Leatherman, were used in the test Wednesday. The Prior car was driven by Vern Sanders and carried Clifford Ham, Clyde Williams and Asa Snow as observers. The car was started at the State bank corner and stopped three miles beyond Monticello. The Leatherman car covered 31.8 iniles. It was driven by E. E. Shoemaker and carried' W. D. Bringle, J. C. Borntrager and J. M. Yeoman, as observers. This car was started at Earl Duvall’s corner and went to Remington and return and thence east about seven miles. The total distance covered was 31.8 iniles. ’ , Both cars were equipped with a one-gallon feed tank so arranged that when this was emptied the car stopped. The average speed maintained by both cars was between fifteen and twenty miles per hour. . Like tests were conducted by the Maxwell people all over the country and it is possible that considerably better records than this were made by some of the cars.
