With an energy that knows no Bleep
ing, a tenacity that knows no defeat
and a directness of purpose that means success, the Young Men's
Business club has gone about arrang
ing for the third annual Fall Festival, which opens Wednesday, with what
promises to be record breaking crowds.
Secretary Will Reller, of the club
Is rampant with enthusiasm. In diseasing the hopes of those behind the Festival, he said today: .
"From the first Festival given here
In 1908, the business of Richmond has
grown by leapa and bounds. Prior to the beginning of these big free shows for the people there seemed to be a sort of prejudice against Richmond.
Primarily It was caused by the re
moval here of the county seat from Centerville. However, the spirit . that
has been engendered by the Fall Festivals of the past has been one of amity and good will. The result has been that the people of the surrounding country and the people of Richmond have come to know each other
better, and with each succeeding Festival they become better acquainted. The volume of business done by local
merchants has Increased to an extent that even the most enthusiastic 'boom-
"The Idea that many people had 1 Kress and thus retard
that they could not come to this city!
without the trip costing them a goodly sum of uioner. was another fallacy that the Young Men's Business club had to dispose of. The average farmer seemed to look upon a trip to Richmond in the same light that he looked upon an outing to some resort. In other words, he figured that it was a

terested affairs of the kind given anywhere in the United States." Here Secretary Reller referred to the fact that when the idea of a Fall
Festival was first broached, many factory owners of the city were opposed to the idea. Their line of argument against the proposition' was that such a show would result la factory hands
refusing to work while it was in pro-
the wheels of
local industry. "Now. however," continued Secre
tary Reller,' the owners of factories in and around Richmond have come to the conclusion that the Fall Festival is about the . best thins that could have happened for them. Instead of the factory hand being discontented and .compiaiciLK that there was coth-
case of 'It's all going out and noth- j ing c interest In the life of the coming coming in.

attempting to work that end for others. A spirit of civic pride, such as we hare not had here before, has sprung up. and the future looms bright for Richmond." The sentiments voiced by Secretary Reller were concurred in by other prominent citizens, who declared that the Fall Festival this year will be one of the marking stonea in the history of
the community. .

The cost of living during the past

never decree very materially. While
wages bar gone up they have by no
means kept pace wltb.tlie living expeases. The Increase In the rate for the skilled worker ba been about SO

Is that of rent, constituting about SO
per cent, and that for clothing follow
ing with about 10 per cent of the total
expenditure. ,
. We need not discus the cause of this Increased coat of living, say the Rev. Charles 84 stale. There Is a very
wide difference of opinion a to the
reason for the Increase, and no doubt
there 1 truth in all of them. But this

THIS EA GldGT RIDING CAt? IN THE IV O OLD
Behind the Marmon stands an institution whose steady growth for more than half a century bespeaks the character of its work. From the beginning of the motor car industry it has pursued the consistent policy of building the Marmon cars entirely within its own plant and building them in the Marmon way, which means a conscientious effort to do the best possible and a little better than anybody else. Motorists are learning more and more the-wisdom of owning cars manufactured in their entirety by responsible concerns. When one purchases an essembled car, how many manufacturers have had a part in its construction? Among how many is the responsibility divided? What assurance is there that all or any of the makers of various parts will remain in business and be able to furnish duplicates? It goes without saying that this company, which has been in business more than half a century, will be right here in the future years, and that its policy of minute care and honest effort to produce the best will be continued. It is this that makes the Marmon "the easiest riding car in the world' stand up year after year to the most rugged service with the minimum of expense. TTKILl TEST All tests, of all kinds, have been applied to the Marmon with the uniform result of victory. It has finished many Glidden tours and other strenuous contests with perfect scores and has endured the hardest service in private hands. . But the supreme test the racking exposure of imperfection that so few cars of any grade can successfully withstand is the long distance race. The Marmon has, of course, won a good many short races, but it is the long "grind" at top speed that tells the story, and in such contests the Marmon has made an amazing record. It holds more speed records than any other car in America. Any modern car has ample speed for a few miles, until 'something goes wrong. But a car to win long races on track or road and do it repeatedly must be so well designed, built of such fine materials, and of such superior workmanship that nothing will go wrong under the terrific strains of long sustained high speed. And it must run so easily that it will neither tear up tires nor wear out the driver. No other car Has won so many successive victories of the kind that count. Its consistent work in racing is without parallel in motor car history.
The history of the Marmon has been a story of progressive development and improvement. The 1911 models, with their lines of simple, classic beauty, and minute refinement of design, have proved a revelation to our friends, notwith-; standing they have come to expect in the Marmon the very best that can bs produced in high-class motor-cars. The wheelbase has been lengthened to 120 inches, adding not only to the beauty of the car but to its roominess and easy-rir.3 qualities. A complete line of closed front bodies is offered, while the open front five-passnger body is furnished to those who prefer that type. Limousine, landau let and coupe bodies to order. ' ; ' The same silent, powerful motor that has carried the Marmon fams around the world, is used. But one chassis is offered, as heretofore, with no changss in mechanism except a few minor improvements and refinements of construction. The Marmon is the rational, logical car, moderate in size and capacity, light in weight with an abundance of power; exceptionally well proportioned, wc!l balanced, it answers, all requirements for city use and touring with greater cemfert and economy than any other type of car. Larger capacity means larger size; larger size means greater weight; greater weight means heavier expense. Thess things the knowing motorist avoids or does not adopt except in case of actual need.
