During this time it had never seen a repair shop. And before returning to the factory it had traveled another 1,000 miles with its bonnet scaled New York to Seattle —Fording the Desplaines Riv The result of the car's examination was amazing, the total for repairs amounting to only $366.27, including a complete set of new tires.

Congress (having been instructed in carly youth in the tactics of Adam) naturally preferred to say, “Oh, these women—what can a chival- rous American do but yield to them?"? (that is, unless they all want child-labor legislation!) Other men like to hear this—they do not like to hear the plain truth: “We gained more for ourselves from the Prohibition vote than we lost in giving cheap rum to the army."’ Neither have the Prohibitionists as a whole shown any special enthusiasm to claim this meas- ure in the light of its subsequent failure.

I needed it, for it always makes me feel queer to sce a woman faint.”—Argonaut. 710 REMY High Tension MAGNETOS are being used on three out of every five American cars equipped with Magneto Ignition this season. We have sold over 30,000 Remy Magnetos on Minimum Specified Delivery for 1909 and have bought material for and are building over 35,000 High-Ten. It is estimated that 72,000 Gasoline Cars are being built in America this year and that 70 per cent Are Being Equipped With Magneto Igni- sion Magnetos for tion, Motor Cars A Contract for 30,000 REMY MAGNETOS Has Just Been Given Us by the Buick Motor ‘Company for the Season of 1910. No Higher Testimony of Merit of a Magneto could be given than the placing of thi tract—the largest contract for Magnetos in the history of the motor industry and Magneto manufacturing—by a company which has used it as standard equipment throughout the past season. Several new fre-proof factory buildings are now under uction and when completed and equipped 1,000 High Tension Magnetos per day. REMY ELECTRIC COMPANY DEPT. 19.
