QUARTER THE CHEVROLET THE WORTH OF A CAR IS THE WORTH OF THE MOTOR "It is the motor that makes an automobile from the standpoint of utility," says J. W. Schaffer, local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars. "Hundreds of dollars may be spent on body comfort and appearances, but in the end the enjoyment of a car is limited to the worth of the motor. * "Just as the heart is tie center of life in a human being, so' th<* motor is the heart of the automobile. It makes it go. . "If a man has a strong heart he is generally capable of doing bin physical things. The ordinary tests of everyday do not tllY him at all, they do not wear him out. He has endurance. He lives lone and is fit and vigorous in his old age. "In just the same manner the capacity of a car for hard service and the length of that service depend on the character of its motor. "It is because so many poeple fail to grasp this important point that they make so many costly experiments before finding real motoring satisfaction. It is because of this that so many makes of automobiles are permitted to flourish on the sole strength of attractive surface features before public opinion snuffs them out. "On the other hand the most successful cars of today are those whose motors have stood up to the tests of time. They are the kind in which the motor has been the first consideration. Then the rest of the car has been built to fit the power of the motor. In such cars the motor is not overtaxed by unnecessary weight. Strength and flexibility have taken the place of bulk. And the result is greater riding comfort, endurance, freedom from repairs and far more power at far less cost for fuel." J. W.Schaffer_i£ENfIMcHenry, 111. Jos. Rev.

The Bazaar Next Week Next week will be an exceptionally busy one at the parish hall here when the annual bazaar will take place. The big event will open at one o'clock next Sunday afternoon and there will be plenty of fun during the balance of the afternoon and evening. ; " There will be nothing doing on Monday, thus giving the workers and the people in general a chance to rest up. The bazaar will again be continued on Tuesday evening, commencing at 7:00 o'clock, while Wednesday afternoon will be given over to the little folks, who are already planning the times of their lives. The real day will be on Thursday, Thanksgiving, when the bi& festivities will open up with the serving of a bountiful chicken dinner.

Hettermann acquires one-third interest in the Central garage and blacksmith business here, altho the change will not take place until Dec. 1, at which time the new member of the firm will open a backsmith shop in the Welter building at Ringwood. Ringwood has been without a blacksmith shop for some time past and the local firm believes that that place offers a good location for such a shop and therefore the deal which was made here last week. Mr. Hettermann is a first-class workman and will give the patrons of the shop the very best service at his command. His efforts will be directed mostly to the shoeing of horses, while most of the heavy work which may be taken in at the shop will be hauled to Johnsburg, where the work will be done. To give the public the very best of service in this line of work a truck will be operated between the two places. All work not handled at Ringwood will immediately be loaded onto a truck and hauled to Johnsburg, where the work will be done. A big change has also been made in the Central garage building at Johnsburg. The blacksmith shop, which formerly occupied tht north east section of the bui.ding, has been moved to a new addition which has been constructed in the rear of the shop/ This addition is 41x26 feet, two stories. The lower floor is fitted up for the carrying on of the blacksmith work, while the upper floor constitutes a paint shop and varnish shop per automobiles and other vehicles. The. garage property is 41x70 feet in dimensions, giving ample room for all work as well as storage of machines, with a nice, clean, roomy office in the northwest corner of the building. The structure is steam heated, electric lighted and is fitted up with all of the modern machinery used in the execution' of automobile repairing. -- Among the latest additions to the shop are an electric drill press and a cast iron welding machine and these, together with the otherwise completely furnished work shop, enables the workmen to turn out the same high-grade work as is done anywhere. ; . " J. B. Hettermann, who is an expert blacksmith as well as auto repair man, has made a study of automobiles and their parts and in more than one instance has he manufactured new parts for automobiles right in his own shop. This is one of the thihgs that the shop has always featured and comes in handy in cases where machine owners cannot wait for new parts to be sent in from long distances. Several 'cars are being stored in the garage . at this time and the prospects are that they will have more after'the real bad weather sets in. They have the agency for the Buick and Oakland cars and have been quite successful in the sale of these cars.
