Information just received from. the |ledo factory of The Willys-Over- d company by Wm. T. Wehrstedt, al Willys-Overland dealer, con- |ns a novel endorsement of Willys- Jerland construction and the qual- of the material used by that com- y in its production. |Last year," says Mr. Wehrstedt, he steamer Wissely, carrying a go of general merchandise bound Vladivostok, caught fire at sea, was beached on the Chinese pst, about six hundred miles from Ing Kong. Included in the vessel's cargo were fhteen six-cylinder Overland tour- i cars. {Some time ago the vessel was |sed and the greater part of the go salvaged. These eighteen touring cars, when |sed to the surface, presented a fry appearance. The vessel had En on fire for several days, before three months. "During all this time the cars were subjected to the effects of fire, smoke and water. In addition, chemicals which the boat also carried, affected the paint and upholstery. "Iixamination revealed, that the motors and chasses were in excellent condition. At an average cost of $200 these cars were refinished and put into livery service. Accord- ing to a letter from their owners to the home factory in Toledo they are giving excellent satisfaction." MANY CARS COST MORE Since November 1 last year forty manufacturers of automobiles have raised prices on their cars, increases ranging from $10 to $700. The aver- age advance is $146 a car. All told, since the early part of 1916 more than one hundred motor car makers have put up their prices. Freight condi- tions and the uncertainties in the in- ternational situation are the reasons popularity given for such increases. Recent advances have been larger than those made last year, indicating that the hope then entertained of be- ing able to weather through the dif- ficulties has been defeated. king to the bottom, where it lay' Es Es --_ | Soon the umpire will mitting his overt acts. | begin com- so thoroughly reliable, that | in its operation.

SAXON BOUNDARY TRAIL BLAZER NOW IN FLORIDA Little Car Finds South Ideal Motor Land--Spirit of Patriotism and Loyalty Manifest Along Coast. Three weeks of the Saxon roadster's | trail blazing trip for the national boundary highway have demonstrated not only the power and endurance of the car but also the beauties of a try. From Washington, where the start was made, to the west coast of Flor- ida, now the location of the little car, the trail blazer has passed through several of the most historic places in the country and along some of the most beautiful highways in America. The South, with its romance and quaint tinge of, the days before the war, affords an ideal motoring spot, say the pathfinders. Only one thing is needed and that is a highway, suit- ably marked, so that the motorists The spring rains have followed the route of the little car since it left the capitol, and day after day has been spent in driving over muddy roads. Not one has proved impassable to the Saxon roadster, except once when the car ran so close to the ocean that high tide inundated the road to a depth that caused the exhaust pipe to be under water. Then the car was pushed only a few yards to a higher | | place, started again, and the journey | was resumed. | All along the coast, the trail blazers | report the states are filled with activ- | ity, due to the war declaration, and | everywhere there a spirit of} patriotism. It is expected that the | trail blazer will be out of Florida in- | side of a week and will be traveling | westward along the Mexican border. | LB. -8 -% 5 REPAIR SHOP MOVES The Winnetka Auto Repair com- | pany, of which S.
