BEATEN.
WOODRUFF BROTHERS
OF WINDER IN SHOW
Without doubt the most marvelous
road record in motor car history was
made a few days ago between Los An
geles and San Francisco, a distance of
four hundred and fifty-seven miles
over desert and mountain country.
The distance was covered by a Buick
five passenger, six cylinder car, Model
D-6-45, in the remarkable time of ten
hours and forty-seven minutes. This
beats the previous record by one hour
and twenty-three minutes.
The automobile which made this
wonderful record carried four pas-l
sengers and the time was three hours
less than that made by passenger
trains which make the run.

Woodruff Brothers, of Winder, who
have become famous as manufactur
ers of farm implements and promoters
of ono of the most succesful county
fairs held in the state are coming to
file auto show with a demonstration
of the Inter-State cars for exhibition.
The Woodruff Brothers are of the

USING STARTER TO
EXCESS IS WRONG
“COLE 8”-J. H.
GRIFFETH SELLS
The Cole 8! There is somehow
fascination in the very phrase as
there is something about the car that
grips one’s attention and makes one
want to own it.
The Cole is sold in Athens by Mr.
.1. 11. Griffeth. It will be on display
at the big show next week and news
of the exhibit that is to be made is
already causing much comment by
those who know what this car stands
for in the automobile world. The
('ole will be heard from during the
Uiree days and this already popular
ear is out for some records when the
different demonstration stunts are be
ing pulled off.
Probably every motorist doesn’t
know that for every second consumed
starting a motor electrically, the
generator must run at charging speed
for several minutes to put the same
amount of current back into the stor
age battery. That means that the
fellow who lets his electric starter
churn and churn, maybe without the
switch thrown, or too little gas, gen
erally finds himself compelled to get
out and crank some day because his
battery is “dead.”
A few sugestions for use of your
starting equipment may prove of ben
efit:
1. Make sure your battery is fully
charged and filled with pure water.
2. Don’t let your starter churn—
find out about gas and spark being
right.
3. Always release the starter as
soon as the motor begins to turn on
its own power.
4. Keep your generator properly
adjusted and cleaned.
5. Prime your motor if it is cold
These things will save you both an
noyance and money for electrical re
pairs.
One of the most popular cars that ]
has been put on the market in
cent years is the Chevrolet, which is
handled in Athens by Bolling H. Sas-
nett, assisted in the sales line by I
Messrs. W. C. Denny and Harry
Rhodes, two experienced automobile |
men.
The Chevrolet agency is one of the |
youngest in the city yet it has enjoy
ed a business that many of the older I
dealers might be envious of. The
last car load of cars was sold and
delivered 'in three days and orders
are now ahead of delivery and this, ]
too, prevails in the face of the fact
that an assembling plant has been
opened in Atlanta and hence more
cars are available than wovfld be if |
delivery had to come from the main
factory.
For a medium priced car the j
Chevrolet has no equal and the fact
that it is backed by millions of cap-1
ital, automobile experience and qual
ity in every detail, is making it also |
one really finished product of the in
dustry that is bringing a price that
is within the reach of the average |
purchaser.
The Chevrolet cars on display at ]
the Banner’s Auto Show will be |
among the most attractive ones on |
exhibition and Mr. Sasnett is plan
ning a number of demonstrations
for the week that will prove the |
claims made for this car.

MORRIS YOW SELLS
HUDSON SUPER-SIX
BUICK HANDLED IN
ATHENS: J.M. HOOD
C. N. HODGSON TO
SHOW DODGE CABS
The Hudson SuperlSix is today
considered by many to be the most
attractive automobile on the market
and for years the Hudson has been
famous for its merits of construction
and ability to hold up under heavy
usage.
Mr. Morris Yow has the agency for
the Hudson and he will have on dis
play next week some handsome mod
els of this car. The many superior
points that Mr. Yow will tell you of
are of real interest to the motor en
thusiast and the cars on display will
attest the good qualities that the
Hudson stands for.
LAMAR OF MACON IS
GA. AUTO PIONEER
The Buick, handled in Athens by
Mr. J. M. Hood, who has just opened
new quarters on comer of Hancock
and Hull streets, has always been
popular car in the South and espec-|
ially in this section since Mr. Hood [
took the agency.
In a number of features that make I
the 1916 model masterpieces in the]
automobile industry the Buick leads
for individuality and when it was an-|
nounced that nothing but six cylinder-
ed cars would be manufactured it
meant that a perfection auto would
be built in this model and that is
what owners of the Buick have.
The display of the Buick cars will
be prominent on the 22-23-24 while the
demonstrations made will be typical
of the claims that this company
makes for its cars. There will hardly
be a more interesting collection on
hand than the Buick Sixes.
Mr. H. J. Lamar, of Macon, Is ono
of the pioneer automobile men In,
Georgia In point of ownership as well ]
as salesmanship and that he la to
have a display in the Banner’s show j
of the Oldsmobile is of interest here
as that car is not represented In Ath
ens by an active agency although the
Olds is well known here as one of
the best cars on the market.
Mr. Lamar will have different types
of the cars on display and will make
a number of demonstrations during
the three days. If you are Interest-1
ed in automobiles as purchaser
as an admirer you will enjoy looking
at the Olds as displayed by MnJ
Lamar.
HUDSON SUPER-SIX
An important exhibit will be that
of the Dodge car, handled by Mr. C.
N. Hodgson. Dodge Bros., Detroit,
are one of the oldest manufacturers
of automobile parts in the world and
within thirteen months sold more
than thirty-eight million dollars
worth, making different parts for
five hundred manufacturers.
Since entering the field as manu
facturers of the finished automobile
themselves they have broken all
records for sales in the same length
of time, and are now leading the
field for the actual months in busi
ness.
The Dodge is a popular car here
and it is certain to attain the popu
larity that many of the older ones
enjoy when it is given more time to
get better established. The display
of the Dodge and demonstrations
made by Mr. Hodgson will draw the
attention of the crowds and the suc
cess of this car at the show is al
ready attained.
MADE FASTEST MILE| dobbs fi ARMSTRONG

SMITH FORM-A-TRUGK
INTERESTING MACHINE
The Smith Fornna-Truck will be
one of the exhibits of rare Interest.
This track Is sold by Bernstein Bros.,
furniture dealers, and up to a few
months ago was something new in
this section. However, this truck
is becoming popular as a delivery
ran and is just as the pame implies.
If you have a car you form a truck
with the Smith, and next week while
visiting the Auto Show be sure that
you pay special attention to the dis
play by Bernstein Bros., and they
will be pleased to demonstrate the
qualities of the Smith Form-a-Truck.
The Hudson Super-Six on April 29th
again distinguished itself by making
the fastest mile ever negotiated by
an American stock car chasis, 102.53
miles per hour.
This sensational speed was made
over the famous Ocean Beach Course
at Daytona, Fla., under the special
supervision of the American Automo
bile Association, sanction No.
F. A. Edwards, representing tne con
test board of the A. A. A., and Fred
J. Wagner were present and officiated
at the trials.
The Super-Six was piloted by
Ralph Mulford. In that trial run the
mile was dashed off each time In less
than 36 seconus. The fastest time
was 35.11 seconds, which is equiva
lent to 102.53 miles per hour. This is
the highest speed ever made by a
stock chassis. /
While these speed trials may have
been a surprise to the public, they
were not unexpected among motor car
people who kept tab on things. The
wise ones knew that Fred Wagner
was vao&ttonizing on the sunny sands
of Florida, and that he probably had
'something up his sleeve.” When
Wlieu Messrs. B. S. Dobbs and
George Armstrong took charge of the
Overland Agency in Athens they im
mediately met with unprecedented
success and have put a large number
of Overlands on the roads in their
territory. They have large show
rooms on Washington street and with
Mr. Dobbs in active charge of the
agency will have a display at the
Automobile show that will be one ot
the best.
The products of the Wlllys-Over-
land Co. are known wherever an
automobile wheel turns and in this
section you will see many turned out
from this factory.
When you get around to the Over
land display you will be accorded
warm welcome indeed.
btach at Daytona, the secret was out.
And now it is no longer a secret.
The splendid mark is one that will
“take some going” to even match.
The trials at Daytona are a further
evidence of the correctness of the ba

AUTO SPARKS
That the areoplane is destined to
become a constantly increasing fac
tor in our economic problems is clear*
ly shown by an article appearing In
“Flying,” from which we quote in
part:
“After five years of continuous ef
forts on the part of the post office de
partment, a few congressmen and
senators, and others, the first step
towards employing aeroplanes for
mail carrying has been taken.
“On February 12th, the United
States post office department issued
an advertisement inviting proposals
for carrying the mails of the United
States—by aeroplane.
“There are eight routes in the of
ficial announcement, one in Massa
chusetts, between Nantucket and
New Bedford, and seven in Alaska.
“The time for these bids to be in
expired May 12th. If the post of
fice is successful in getting bids for
these eight routes, then next year
there may be added between fifty
and one hundred other routes, where
only the aeroplane can solve the dif
ficult problems of mail transportation
by cutting across canyons, moun
tains, and other natural construe
tions, which make it necessary, at
the present time, to make long de
tours, to say nothing of the tremen
dous loss in time. In some cases,
the aeroplane accomplishes in fifr
teen or twenty minutes what now
takes all the way from eighteen
hours to fifteen days, by the present
method of slow transportation,
be one of the most potential factors
“The flying machine promises to
in the future development of Alaska
—and of all places where the run of
commerce is slow on account of lack
of fast transportation. It needs
neither roads nor rails nor bridges;
only landing’ places at convenient in
tervals.”
It is said that there are more ex
pensive cars used in New York than
in any other efty in the world. Yet
the low priced quality car is becom
ing more and more a favorite In New
York’s social and business affairs.
In front of one of New York’s ex
clusive clubs, an actual count of the
cars shows two cars costing over
$4,000; three costing over $2,500;
two costing more than $1,500; and
five Overlands. Titus It seems that
the style and .snap of the New Over
land is endearing Itself to the New
Yorker as jnuch as Its sturdy
strength and stamina has to the west
ern farmer, who must have, above
all, a dependable car.

NEW CAR EXHIBITED
TO BE THE STEARNES
Another new car In, this section
will be the Stearnes, put ou display
by the Forsythe Motor Car Co., of
Atlanta. A special representative of
the company will be here with the
display, and much interest will be
shown in the car.
The Stearnes ranks at the very
top of the automobile list and in
every section of the country the car
has met with unusual success. Of
the cars about which so much Is
known here, there will hardly be
any that will draw more attention
than will the Stearnes.
has been filled with some anti-freez
ing solution all winter, it should be
thoroughly flushed out with clean
water now.
There are literally thousands of
small cells in every radiator which
become filled with sediment, rust,
etc. When this happens, it seriously
interferes with the efficiency of the
cooling system, and is often directly
responsible for overheating and pre
ignition, etc. By flushing out the
cooling system thoroughly at this
time, you will start the summer right
and perhaps avoid expensive repairs,
as well.
FORD CHUG-CHUG IS
HEARD’ROUND WORLD
The chug-chug of the Ford has been
heard literally around the world and
of course the Griffeth Implement Co.
who handles this famous car in Ath
ens is going to be well represented at
the Banner’s show which begins Tues
day. The .Ford needs no introduction
to any audience and in no matter
what display it is placed it always
gets a big share of the interest.
Tfiie Ford is a car used by every
class of people. It’s the farmers best
friend, it’s the rich man’s companion
and the one opportunity of the man
who can’t afford to put so much
money In an automobile. Ford de
liveries and trucks are becoming as
popular as Ford runabouts and there
are more of them in use in Athens
today than any other truck.
Just keep your eye on the Ford next
week.

“Jinks is an awful liar. He says
he's never spoken a cross word to his
wife in the whole ten years they’ve
been married.” “That doesn’t prove
him a liar. Evidently you’ve never met
his wife, or you'd know that it would
take a brave man to speak a cross
word to her. ’
THE CLARKE COUNTY
MOTOR CAR COMPANY
The Maxwell, handled by the
Clarke County Motor Car Co., Is
another car that needs no formal in
troduction. It Is one of the pioneers
and the models that will be on dis
play are the epitome of automobile
experience and knowledge. The Max
well agency has arranged for some
demonstrations during the week that
will drive home the fine qualities of
the cars. Messrs. Shouse and Downs
will be pleased to have you make
the Maxwell department headquar
ters while visiting the show, and it
will be a favor for them to show
you the product of the Maxwell fac
tory.
No Longer Menace to Humana.
Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied ot recent years,
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although it
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason why
it should be a menace to human life.
