Automobile Section Plain LEADING NEW VOL. XXVI—NO. 12 COAST ROUTE IS NEARLY COMPLETE Only Eight Miles of Dirt Road Left From S. F. to Mexico There is a great and unusual stir of motor car travel throughout America at this time and So. Cal. is largely the center of activity. This report is just issued by the shipping department of the Automobile Clug of So. Cal., which keeps an accurate check on the movement of motor vehicles all over the United States. Although thousands of motorists more than ever before, are traveling across the continent in their own machines, other thousands are taking long distance jumps by rail, but shipping their own cars with them, particularly for touring in So. Cal. Groups of motorists who wish to ship their cars to California or to other lands are organized by the club through its shipping department, so that freight rates may be secured as low as possible and to the greatest advantage of the motorists. By tabulating the movement of these motoring groups, the club is thus able to keep a finger on the JAMES THE TIRE MAN He has a retiring nature thats the reason he wishes to retire your car James The Vulcanizer (By The Mysterious Cowboy) A sign reads James The Vulcanizer but I like best him under the application—James The Tire Man.

Cal. Groups of motorists who wish to ship their cars to California or to other lands are organized by the club into its shipping department so that weight rates may be secured as low as possible and to the greatest advantage of the motorists. By tabulating the movement of these motoring groups, the club is thus able to keep a finger on the pulse of motoring activity and it is declared by its officials that the actual use of automobiles is in a great state of flux at this time, due in a large sense to the attraction of So. Cal. as a touring field. Motorists in the central and southern counties are shipping cars in large numbers to Hawaii, South America, India and even to Japan. Shipments are also being made at this time to practically every eastern state for short tours. But the heaviest noted travel is toward this part of California, it is reported.

In Past 12 Years LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26—Motorists can find consolation and a silver lining to the high price cloud by comparing the tire costs of 1910 with those of today, according to H. A. Price, the local Goodyear branch manager. "Are you skeptical? Well, run your doubting eyes over these two price lists, showing the comparative costs of four of the most popular tire sizes in 1910 and 1922: 1910 1922 30x3 $18.40 $9.20 30x3½ 21.30 10.05 33x4 51.85 25.25 35x5 89.95 41.05 NEW CLEVELAND MODELS ARE HERE Here's some more news that is now from the J.

The first Cleveland sport model ever put out by the manufacturers has arrived, and it's a knock-out, the same as the Jordan and other new models of recent date. It has a trunk rack, five wire wheels, Spanish leather upholstery (khaki top and all the "fizin'" that belong to a first class, completely equipped sport car. It is painted a handsome olive gray, and has enough nickel to make it a real sport. If costs $1460 delivered here. Then there's a Cleveland coupe."

Agent in Anaheim for the Ajax and on Page Two) "USED CAR SCHEME" DIDN'T WORK HERE Anaheim didn't prove to be a fertile field for one J. A. Haring, who came here with a used car sale scheme. He came two or three months ago, if salesmen of H. L. Grove, local branch manager for Townsend & Medbury, Hudson and Essex distributors, remember correctly, and he didn't stay long. If he should come back here the following copy of a letter just received here, will explain his method. The letter was forwarded by the T. C. Power Motor Car Co. of Helena, Mont., Hudson and Essex distributors to the manufacturers, who are distributing it: "Several days ago there was a party through here by the name of J. A. Haring, of Grand Rapids, Mich. He claimed to be the greatest little used car salesman on earth and conducted a two-day sale here which was generally speaking, a rank failure. Purtehrmore, Mr. Haring misrepresented considerably as to advertising and bill that he intended to do. The sale was in no way a success and we are writing this to monstrating the industrial as well as the agricultural possibility of the tractor in every day use, follows exactly the lines of the great exposition just closed in Chicago, where the Fordson industrial exhibit was the outstanding feature of the immense Pageant of Progress program, covering a period of two weeks," says Mr. Dunton.

An immense space has been reserved in Exposition Park, adjacent to the stadium, and two huge tents will be erected.

As a matter of fact he ran four very small ads and his hand billing was only partially done in the city." NASH CARRIALE IS ATTRACTING NOTICE The public is becoming more and more interested in closed cars as the season advances, according to the Bob White Co., Franklin and Nash distributors, whose Nash carriole at its low price has been attracting much attention in Orange-co. This is a five-passenger car, of and really a new type of model. It sold at $1,595 delivered here. The body is of metal, the lines are graceful and the car's length striking.

The body design is adapted to quantity production, and this accounts for rth low price asked. REALER GE COUNTY Automobile Section TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR RILEY ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR COUNTY AUTO SHOW Plans for the automobile show which will be given in connection with the Orange County Fair at Santa Ana were announced today by Harry D. Riley, chairman of the special committee of the Orange County Auto Trades Ass'n, which has agreed to take over this department of the exposition. The show will occupy a separate tent with 18,000 square feet of floor space, and exhibits will be as comprehensive and varied as at the auto show of the Valencia Orange show. Practically all of the dealers and accessories men in the county will show their cars and goods, and all the latest models—including some of 1923—will be shown. The tent will be nicely decorated for the occasion, and various surprise features are anticipated as at the Orange Show here. The committee consists besides Riley of L. P. Damewood of Orange, Otto Haan, J. E. Livesey, Jr., and John L. Wheeler of Santa Ana. That the county organization would take over the show only became known Thursday night at the monthly meeting in Cherry Blossom Inn, Santa Ana. Commercial exhibits from concerns of national or semi-national repute represented in Los Angeles are expected. NEW 1923 BUICK FINEST BUICK YET Bill Goodrum has received the first of the new 1923 Buicks, and it's all that was expected of it. No previous six five-passenger touring has been quite so fine a Buick. In the first place it's a handsomer car than ever, with low, graceful body and top lines, heavy one-piece crowned fenders, drum head lamps and parking lamps and nickeled beading where cowl meets hood. The front half of the car with its room provides greater comfort and driving convenience than ever before. The steering wheel is positioned at the right angle for steering, the control levers are longer and the instrument board is within easy reach. The low, comfortable seat in the rear compartment invites relaxation and the passenger has every convenience at hand. The committee consists besides Riley of L. P. Damewood of Orange, Otto Haan, J.
