AMERICAN, ATLANTA, DA., SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14 101!?.
The “Six” you will choose for the best of all good
reasons--because no other six in the world offers you
as much for the same money.
Buy it because it’s a Studebaker---but buy it, also,
because it is a manufactured “Six”; a “Six” electrically
lighted and started; and a seven-passenger “Six”—
at a price lower than the price of any other “Six” in
existence; a price made possible only by the huge
ness of Studebaker production and sales.

L. P. Ferguson, ths pathfinder of the
"All-Houthern Transcontinental High
way," from Atlanta to I»» Angeles, Is
back In Atlanta filled with enthusiasm
and dust.
At the office of the Republic Rubber
Company he met W. W. redder, of Los
Angeles, who Is touring the country. It
was rather more of a Republic meeting
for both tourists use Republic staggard
treads and boost them continually.
It was decided by Pedder to take the
route back to the r’oast that has been
mapped out by Ferguson.
NOW THE CYCLECAR CLUBS.
With the successful formation of
the cycle car club in Detroit tnd with
another In Chicago and Cleveland and
Indianapolis clubs to he formed, a
meeting Is Jto be called at an early
date in South Rend, Ind., as the most
central point, to promote a National
Association of cyclecar clubs for
America.
Visitor to Atlanta Tells Thrilling
Storigs of Desert Trials—Con
tinues on Way Monday.
O N a tour of delight 1n a big Hud
son 64-6. W. W. Pedder, a cap
italist, of Los Angeles, arriv«*l
in Atlanta after a transcontinental
trip from the California city to New
York and down to Atlanta.
Mr. Pedder is accompanied by his
wife, and while resting in Atlanta Is
visiting Ills brother, J. E. <\ Pedder,
of this city. The party will leave here
and return by a Southern route to the
Pacific Coast.
The story of the trip across the
continent rivals the big stories of the
adventure writers. Tales of the des
ert, stories of the. mountains, an inci
dent here And there of the fascina
tion of camping outdoors, all ba<fice<1
by actual photographs taken on route,
make Mr. Pedder s description of the
pleasure-filled Journey on© of unex
pected surprises
The Hudson, which Mr. and Mrs.
Pedder christened "Eureka," enjoys
the distinction of being the first au
tomobile to make the road from Yucca
to Topok, Ariz. This trail of sand la
being worked Into a road as near as
possible, and it was the intention of
the commissioners to have Weatgnrd,
the pathfinder, make the initial trip,
but inasmuch as Mr. Pedder was so
confident that hiR Hudson was lit for
any road, they agreed to let him try.
This unfinished road over which he
successfully traveled is intended to
be the connecting link of the Santa
Fe national highway.
* The party carried the most com
plete camping outfit ever put on a
motor car Tents, cots, hammocks
. and the tegulation shovel and ax, to
gether with guns, make up the regu
lar equipment, but upon opening
. (impact boxes on the running board
one finds a real refrigerator, a gas<>-
‘ Tihe stove, with oven. Hot water,
told drinks and every conceivable
kind of material for a regular meal
'hat .can he prepared within the
.space* of a few minutes.
"It is almost Impossible to really
enjoy the country without a motor
, ar." says Mr Pedder. "There are so
many beautiful places that can not he
reached by any other means, so many
wonderful spots of nature that can
not be appreciated In any other man
ner. One never will know the scenic
beauty of this country until traversed
In a motor car.
"We have had many hard days on
this trip, and many nights when sleep j
came quickly, but there has never
been a moment that was not filled
with the greatest pleasure and en
joyment possible. 1 feel that the
splendid performance of the new’
Hudson, together with the unusual
good service of the Republic Sfeng-
gard Tread tires, have made even the
hard places real pleasures.”
New Republic Price
Pleases the Dealers
Manager Sohl Expects Great In
crease in Sales After
Reduction.
Manager Sohl, of the Republic
Rubber Company, Atlanta branch, Is
receiving letters from all over the
South from dealers and motorists ex
pressing appreciation for the recent
reduction in Republic prices.
"Heretofore." says Sohl, "the price
of the Republic has been a little out
of the reach of many auto owners,
who are desirous of a tire of unusual
quality, hut now with the new price
list almost every auto owner can use
them if he desires.
"We are expecting a very subs tan- 1
tial increase in our business for the
next year and are confident that now
the Republic will enjoy in the South
the same popularity it does in many i
other sections of the country."

Five Minutes Will Win You to
All-Weather Treads
The treads are double-thick—
The rubber is extra tough—
The grips are deep and enduring—
The edges stay sharp—
They face the skidding direction—
The blocks meet at the base—
The surface is flat and smooth.
Here is a tread which runs as smoothly as
plain treads. It is just as economical.
It gets rid of all features which made anti
skids costly, or made them cause vibration.
On dry roads it runs like a plain tread. To
wet roads it gives an irresistible grip.
It is the tread for all wheels and all seasons.
On Goodyear tires—the largest-selling tires in
the world — it is outselling plain treads with
users. In winter it is an essential.
And
Here are sharp edges which stay sharp,
the edges face the skidding direction.
Here are blocks that widen out and meet
at the base, so the strains are spread as with
plain treads.
This is the latest of Goodyear inventions.
It solves anti-skid problems as never before.
It combines plain-tread economy with the
safety of a most tenacious grip.
You are bound to adopt it. A five-minute
comparison will make you a convert. Don’t
buy a tire for winter use without coming to
see this tread. ■
Plus These Savings
All-Weather treads, if wanted, now come on
■v c
No-Rim-Cut tires. And you get tnese fea
tures too:
Tire» that can’t rim-cut—
Tires that save blow-outs—
Tires that save loose treads.
We control the No-Rim-Cut feature. The
saving of blow-outs adds to our tire cost
$1,500 daily. No other maker adds this extra
cost. Our way of preventing tread separation
is patented, and we control the patent.
You get all these savings in No-Rim-Cut
tires, and in no other tires in the world. As a
result, these tires today
are the largest - selling
tires in the world. You
are courting tire trouble,
you are wasting tire
money, so long as you
go without them. Let us
prove this to you.
Five minutes will show you that no other
anti-skid begins to so meet the requirements.
Some are shallow, some soft, some irregular.
Some have rounded grips.
Some have separate projections which center
the strains at one point in the fabric. Some
cause much vibration.
Here is a flat tread,
broad, smooth and regu
lar. Here are deep grips
which last for thousands
of miles. Here is rubber
toughened by a secret
process.

Company Now Has Car Embodying
Latest 1914 Improve
ments.
The Oakland Motor Car Company
has entered the light «ix field with a
car which embodies all of the latest
accepted practices.
The new car, known as Model 6-48,
which is said to be the largest car
built that comes in the light six
classification, is the pun* stream line
in body, with tapered sloping hood
and rounded German silver V-shaped
radiator.
It is fast and has plenty of power,
and will average about fourteen to
fifteen miles per gallon of gasoline.
The motor is long stroke and of
the typical Oakland style, with motor
clutch and transmission as a un^,
and no essential changes of the moUtr
itself are announced. Splash system
of lubrication is continued. The cyl
inders are cast en bloc, a feature of
which is the removable heads, which
are held down by nine bolts.
The light six has left-hand drive, a
new feature with Oaklands, and the
doors are of extra width, making for
greater convenience in entering and
leaving. The latest improved Delco
system, which is of the six-volt type,
Is used for starting the motor and for
lighting and ignition. The side lights
are of new types, no wires being ex
posed.
MINUS TOOLS
Farm Implements Absolutely Nec
essary, Says J. N. Willys, or
Cities Would Dry Up.
"In these days of much loud talk
about the high cost of living, we are
confronted with the startling truth
that if it were not for farm machin
ery we could not live at all." said
President John N Willys, of the Wil-
lys-Overland Company, In a recent
discussion, at Toledo, of the Impor
tance of the motor truck in the mod
ern business world.
"If we had no farm machinery, our
great cities, centers of industry and
wealth, would shrivel up and disap
pear. Instead of having 40 per cent
of our population in cities, as is the
case to-day, there would be only 3 to
4 per cent of the people w ho could af
ford to be urban dwellers And the
other 96 or 97 per cent would be
mighty busy trying to w rest a living
for themselves and their city breth
ren out of the soil.
"A hundred years ago four fann
ers could just barely raise enough
wheat to feed themselves and one
other family. To-day North Dakota
alone grows wheat enough to feed
herself and 12,000,000 people besides.
Such Is the Increment of machinery.
“No farm can be run to-day at a
profit with hand labor tools. No
banker would lend money on a farm
where grain is being cut with hand
sickles and thrashed w’ith flails. It is
the machinery, combined with scien
tific methods and large units of pro
duction, from which farm profits are
now’ being derived. Small farmers,
with small and old-fashioned opera
tions, are making no profits at all.
"One of the most important labor
and money saving machines now
available to the farmer is the motor
truck, the vehicle by which the cost
of transportation can be and is being
cut from 30 to 50 per cent. Farmer
owners of Willys Utility three-quar
ter-ton trucks are demonstrating
every day that this method of trans
porting their product Is lowering
their expenditures by large amounts.
"In the hauling of w’heat alone they
find that the cost of 9 cen-ts per 100
pounds, which was the best that could
be accomplished with horses and
wagon, has decreased to a wonderful
extent.
