Saturday, February 5: 1921 MAY MOTOR CO. NOW IN NEW QUARTERS The May Motor Co., Orange-co dealers for the Nash, is now firmly entrenched in its new Anaheim home, $22 west Center-st, from which location sales and service will be rendered to all the company's territory in northern Orange county. Arthur A. May will head the origanization in this section. Walter F. Gustien, will also be associated with Mr. May in the new plant. The Nash dealers are also located in Santa Ana where the quality of the car they represent and their reliable business methods has placed them well up on the ladder of success. "We recognized the necessity locating in Anaheim," states Mr. May, "but we have been unable until the present time to secure a suitable location. We have taken a long lease on the building and we are here to stay. In the very near future I expect to build a home here. The mechanical department is modern in every detail and an expert Nash mechanic has been placed in charge, and it will be the purpose to keep every Nash car in this territory hitting in perfect tune. "At a later date we will hold a formal opening at which time we wish to meet everybody in our northern territory and acquaint them with the Nash models."

Better automobiles are being built today than for the past four years. Conditions are getting normal in all lines. One instance of value in the motor circles is the Model 34 Velle, represented in No. Orange-co by McGraw brothers of Fullerton. The Velle is now putting out Model 34 Velle Six—a six and the price of a Four, with Miller Cord tires all around. Talking about this car, Mr. McGraw says: "This Velle Six is priced much lower than many of the Foura. It is a car that we are snowing and demonstrating with much pride; it is a car of real quality; one that we can well recommend to our customers. Everyone should see this Velle Six, Model 34 before purchasing an automobile; a demonstration will be a revelation." MILLER'S REPORT SHOWS Y ACTIVE A report of the activities of the Santa Ana Y. M. C. A secretary, R. R. Miller, for the past four months include a Halloween party for 70 boys, a father and sons' banquet for 250 attendance of 12 boys at the Older Boys conference in San Bernardino, participation of 25 in Sunday's day in the churches, attendance of 50 Santa Ana boys at a county Y.

The secretary announced that the Y. M. C. A. was looking forward to such events as the Christian Callings conference, at Whittier soon, the "Find Yourself" campaign to be put into effect and plans to hear Dr. John Brown, Jr., at Riverside this month. RILEY ELATED AT RECORD SMASHING The excellence of the Studebaker is always a source of conversation at the Harry D. Riley organization, dealers for northern Orange-co, and during the past few weeks the performance of the new little six has caused much comment. Several instances have been cited where this car has made an average in excess of 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline and every owner expresses himself surprised at its power and stamina. Great things have been anticipated from this car but its recent performance when it broke the record both ways between San Francisco and Los Angeles has surpassed all expectations. Shattering a record which has stood for five years, setting a round-trip record that had never been dreamed of, and demonstrating beyond a doubt the feasibility of using a motor car for the transportation of U.S. mail over California highways, a Studebaker light six touring car Wednesday made the trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles and return in 21h, 33m, elapsed time and exactly 19h, running time. The feat of landing the San Francisco-Los Angeles round trip in 24 hours was accomplished after two men in an airplane was regarded as an important car shoots the standing Coast record into oblivion and drivers who climbed out of bed in time to shake hands with the little car, whose rating is only 24 hrs left the Federal-bldg at San Martín at 8:02 p.m.; Tuesday morning Hart L.

The record into oblivion also sets a round-trip mark that few people believed possible. In the foreground is Earl Carpenter in time to shake hands with Hart L. Weaver who did most of the driving. Hours was accomplished about a year ago by two men in an airplane, but was regarded as an impossibility as far as automobiles were concerned. But the little car not only succeeded in performing the unprecedented feat, but did so in a manner calculated to put previous road-records at the shade. The little car, whose S.A.E. engine rating is only 24 horse-power, left the Federal-bldg at San Francisco at 8:02 p.m. Tuesday night, with Art L. Weaver and Jim Gurley as drivers, and a newspaper man, a mechanic and a sack of mail as ballast. Carrying over the coast road at an absolutely constant speed, the little car rolled into San Luis Obispo for a midnight lunch and picked up a Los Angeles man, George Herron, to act pilot over the rest of the route. After a 25-minute stop, in which the engine continued running, the ice against time was again taken off, and promptly at 6:14½ a.m., Wednesday morning the car rolled up front of the Los Angeles Federal-bldg and delivered its sack of mail. 45 miles had been covered in 1h. 12½ m., elapsed time, beating the previous record, which had stood since 1916 by 2h. 35m., and the park by 3h. 45m. Representatives of the Postoffice Department, C. of C., local newspapers and other people who don't know any better than to be roaming around at early in the morning, greeted the crew and gabbled excitedly while the quartet swallowed a bite eat and took on a new sack of mail to be delivered in San Francisco. At 6:50 a.m., after the few minutes consumed in changing mail locks and surrounding a little hot coffee, the car shot out Hollywood on its return trip to San Francisco via the inland route. The car scarcely slackened speed at all, and despite a stop at Fresno for lunch and down-pours of rain at Fresno, Madera and Merced, brot up at the Oakland ferry promptly at 4:30 o'clock, just in time to miss a boat. A wait of 15 minutes for the lumbering side-wheeler, a 30-minute trip across the bay, 10 minutes of twisting and dodging thru the evening's traffic and the little car came to a stop in front of the Federal-bldg in San Francisco at 5:25 p.m. The trip of $80 miles, 456 down the coast and 424 up the valley, was made at an average speed, during running time of 46.3 miles per hour. The remarkable feature of the trip in this connection is that the little car has an absolute maximum speed of 60 miles an hour and the high average made means that the car was consistently driven at almost maximum speed for the entire distance. Despite the terrific strain to which such treatment subjected the car and engine, the trip was featured by perfect functioning of the motor. Only once during the entire journey was the engine stopped and that was at Modesto when a battery connection came loose. BAKERSFIELD PLANS DOWNTOWN PARK BAKERSFIEDR, Feb. 5—The city council and the Civic-Commercial club at a get-together meeting here have pledged themselves to work together in greater harmony for the best interests of the city. L. D. Blodgett, secretary of the association, and Councilman Hougham were the principal spokesmen. The first matter to absorb the attention of the combined efforts of the officials and the civic body will be the laying out of a new public park close to the down-town section of the city. MONTANA WINS BY 2 STRAIGHT FALLS A result of the interest displayed in the wrestling match between Bull Montana and Dummy West, it was stated today the American Legion might put on another. Montana won two straight. The affair was staged at the new quarters of the Oldmobile agency in the recently completed Lamb-bldg, on W. Center-st thrue the courtesy of H. S. Gilnette, local manager for the J. J. DeVeaux Co., Orange-co distributors. Montana was in the pink of condition. West was considerably heavier but wasn't in as good shape as the Beautiful Mull. Both falls were by the face-lock. West protesting that last time he was subjected to a strangle hold. The first fall came at the end of 40 minutes and the second after 17. There was no stalling. It was regular, old-time "rassling" match. Between the falls, Ruddy Warner, of Omaha, Neb., now stopping at Riverside, issued a challenge to the winner of the match, being particularly anxious to meet Montana whom he claimed to have been followed through Texas without response to his appeals. However, he didn't stop with Bull, offering to meet anyone, any time. He proved to be quite an orator. One fan had $100 to say that he couldn't throw Roy Maybee.

With Unique Reo Bus and Trailer an endless quantity of language been spilled concerning the "up-of the drama," but it has remainfor Al Trahern, originator of the circuit stock company" to demonstrate that what the drama really led was transportation instead of life. Here in Orange-co, Trahern regularly demonstrating a new department of the "legitimate" stage, circulating stock company, whose end of "one night stands" are made perfect comfort instead of the conspired discomfort that genera-ors of actors have associated with term. its organization of 15, 11 of men are actors, make their head-quarters at Anaheim. They play here each Tuesday and Wndnesday. Other nights they play in La Habra, Santa Ana, Corona, Whitttier and Orange. On the five nights that the company plays elsewhere than Anaheim, the Reo truck carries company and scenery to and from their Anaheim headquarters. The longest journey, that from Corona, is accomplished in less than an hour and a half after the performance is over. Trahern, who has been 30 years in the theatrical business, and has been associated with William A-Brady, the Solwyns, Morosco and others in the past, declares that he has solved the problem of giving the smaller towns the benefit of really good performances on the speaking stage. He says: "The solving of the transportation problem with the Reo truck has been a most important part of the plan. You can't get good actors to endure the discomforts of the average "one night" stand. Making their permanent home in Anaheim, as they do, under my system, they can be perfectly comfortable. "The hauling of the scenery on a trailer has been another important move. The Reo delivers the scenery direct to the stage door, with far less possibility of damage than when it must be shipped by rail and re-handled four times." "The Reo "speed wagon," which is used by the Crown Stage Co., as well as Trahern, is sold by the Anaheim Motor Co." OLDSMOBILE AGENCY IN NEW QUARTERS The Oldsmobile agency is now located in its spacious and pretentious new quarters in the new Lamb building on W Center-st, and their coming to this section of the city with one of the largest and best equipped garage and sales rooms in this section has alced in establishing a new auto row for Anaheim. H. S. Glinette will be in charge of the local establishment for J. J. De Veaux, the Orange-co dealer for the Oldsmobile, who is located in Santa Ana. Several months ago, recognizing the value of Anaheim as an automobile trade center and also its convenient location in giving service to its many Oldsmobile owners in No. Orange-co, Glinette procured temporary quarters at 217 N. Los Angeles-st, where he remained until the present building was procured. "The Oldsmobile is a quality car," state Mr. Glinette, "and we have invested in an attractive home—a home that would be in keeping with our car and also be a credit to Anaheim. We are going to endeavor to keep all models including foursixes and eights, on display on our salesrooms floor, and we please the motor car buyer by this excellent range in both price and luxury of appointments." An export Oldsmobile mechanic will be in charge of the service department and in addition to repairing and storage, a complete stock of parts will be carried in stock.
