going into the hande of a receiver tomorrow morning." He then

aeci-ded to fave the company by a

money-ratolng campaign, which.

thanks to his wonderful elocution, was a auccess. and within eight

years John N. Willys, saver of the Overland company, was offered

$80,000,000 for his. share of the company. In January, 1908, the reorganization was accomplished end Willys became president. But wealth has not turned his head, he

still works like a trojan and enjoys

life. His democratlo ways and

manners are not assumed.

Dixie Bee line from Terre Haute to Evaneton is reported good; Midland trail from Vlncennes to Louis

ville fine; Indiana State road No. 10 from Vlncennes to Indianapolis fine. MICHIGAN. M-ll Mile and a half under construction In Holland, detour marked; mile graveling three miles north of Manistee, detour rough; construction Grawn to Traverse, detour fair; 15 miles graveling Pellston to Mackinaw City, detour fair. M-12 Same as last week. M-17 Good throughout except detours Jackson to Ieonl and Battle Creek to Marshall, detours good. Rough spots in Lawrence and rough on unimproved section between Taw Paw and Decatur. Grand Haven Trunk line roads good except detours. Dry weather causes grave! to loosen. Coldwater Roads in Branch county in excellent condition. especially o after recent rains. Iron Mountain All roads In good condition; construction on trunk line roads, but no detours except in the

time has been the proprietor of the

Ignition department of the Columbia Battery Co., IIS N. Lafayette blvd.. has Just been najned as the local Mitchell automobile dealer. The temporary salesroom and servioe tation will be located at 5 la S. Franklin, st., but a new downtown showroom will be announced in tho near future.

An unusual demonstration of the flexibility of the F-50 Mitchell motor and the sturdinoss of th-e bdy and springs waa given Friday The party consisting of Mr. Rutherford, the new Mitchell dealer, F. N. Finke, district sales manager of the Mitchell Motors Co., and a newspaper representative, were taken up hills, over curlings, r3ugh streets and even over railroad tracks by L. J. Wendrick of Racine. Wis., a Mitchell factory representative From a standing start In high gear, Wendrick went up the St. Louis and "Little Italy"-hills on hifch. Later he gave an exceptional demonstration by racing the motor and allowing the clutch to fly back suddenly and showing the ease with which the motor "picked up." The next demonstration was of the easy riding qualities over rough dty pavements and curbing. rhe final demonstration was given when the car wa driven over a. maze of railroad ties, tracks and switches in the yards in the west end of the city, proving the strength of the Mitchell frame and springs, both of which are guaranteed by the factory for the life of the car.

6 Cylinder 50 Horsepower$995 The Jewett weighs more than 2800 pounds ready for the road. That at once proves that it cannot be compared with any "light" six on the market It is equipped with a fifty horsepower motor of 3 inch bore and 5 inch stroke. To find a motor of equal power you must look to cars that sell for a much higher price. It is important to remember these facts. For they prove that tho Jewett is built with excess strength in every detail of its frame, transmission, clutch, drive shaft and special Timken axles. And they prove most conclusively that the new reduced price of $995 f. o. b. Detroit is the standard of value by which all five passenger sixes must be judged. It is sold and serviced by P&i&o dealers everywher OWEN MOTOR SALES 517 Lincoln Way Weit Lincoln 5050

SPECIAL-SIX TOURING

XÄ7HEREVER you look, you will find protection against hard wear built into the Studebaker Special -Six and this quality of construction is just as exacting down under the surface as it is where you can see every detail. The skillful workmanship and the fine materials of these hidden values are largely responsible for its long-lived dependable service Two important elements that make the Special-Six notable for fine performance and comparative freedom from repair, are the four-bearing crankshaft and the seven-inch frame with its five cross-members and sub-

frame supporting the motor and the separate transmission. The new price, $1275, is the lowest for which the Special-Six Touring Car ever sold and the quality, is. better than ever. Price does not always determine value, but in the case of Studebaker it establishes the finest values in the market. The name Studebaker on your car insures satisfactionCome in or phone and let us give you a demonstration in the Special-Six. Drive it yourself. A ride will help you make up your mind. In public confidence and respect, the name .Studebaker stands higher than ever.
