WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY ABOUT THE AUTOMOBILE. The publishers of The Times and Journal have made diligent inquiry among its subscribers as to the users of automobiles and as to the efficiency of the various types of cars in their practice. The response was generous, and we might say, in some instances, enthusiastic. We quote one or two replies and simply summarize some of the others for lack of space, this automobile number having developed far beyond our expectations. Denver Medical Times, Denver, Colo. Gentlemen: Replying to yours of March 9, 1908, will say that this is the third year that I have used the automobile in my practice. In 1906 I purchased a "Reo" light touring car, with an extra runabout back that I can use in place of the tonneau. Am still using this car and it is running better than when I bought it. Do not know of any car costing the same money that can climb steeper hills or go through deeper mud. A physician must have a car that will "keep going" and the reputation here for the "Reo" is that it always goes. Yours sincerely, Denver users: Dr. Robert Levy Dr. James Rae Arneill. Dr. H. W. Rover. Dr. J. B. Kinley. Dr. J. D. Gibson. AUGUSTUS C. BEHLE. Dr. B. F. Stockwell. Dr. Howell T. Pershing. Dr. J. N. Hall. Dr. G. M. Edwards. Dr. J. E. Kinney. Dr. Harry N. Mayo. Colorado-Canon City, Dr. James G. Maxwell; Colorado Springs, Dr. J. F. McConnell; Boulder, Dr. W. P. Harlow, Dr. O. M. Gilbert; Trinidad, Dr. E. W. Fox; La Junta, Dr. W. M. Moore; Greeley, Dr. R. T. Graham; Fort Collins, Dr. W. A. Kirkland. Automobile Supplies. One of the most interesting stores for the user of an automobile to visit is the store of the Denver Auto Goods Co., 1614 Broadway, Denver, Colo. Here will be found a most bewildering display of supplies for the automobile. Said to be the most complete of any similar store this side of Chicago. This concern has a trade which reaches east to and all through Nebraska, south into New Mexico and Arizona, and north into Wyoming and Utah. THE GREAT SMITH CAR In either Touring or Road models offer exceptional value. Light in weight, graceful in outline, beautiful in finish, and powerful enough to take the steepest grade or the sandiest road with ease and speed. For simplicity of control, easy riding qualities and endurance, the GREAT SMITH car cannot be excelled. We earnestly solicit the opportunity to demonstrate the many excellent features of this car and our services are at your disposal whenever convenient for you without cost or obligation. We believe in the car we are selling, and "It's easy to demonstrate the truth." Do not take our word but ask the man who owns a GREAT SMITH. Roadster, Touring Car or Runabout, 40 H. P. 4 or 6-Cylinder, $2,500.00 Seven Passenger Touring Car, $3,500.00 Limousine, $4,500.00 THE CARTER TWO-ENGINE CAR Two separate independent engines that may be operated singly or in unison at the I will of the driver. Each with its own ignition system, carburetor, lubricator and clutch. The failure of one engine does not mean a "TOW" home; the second will do the work easy and surely. "If you start in a CARTER Two-Engine you'll get there." THE DENVER MOTOR CAR COMPANY 1618-1620 Court Place, Denver Telephone Main 2689 They have a large and growing mail and express trade, being able to fill orders for all parts of the West, the same day the order is received. This is a great convenience to anyone using an automobile. The business is carried on by bright and enterprising young men, who are thoroughly posted in this line, and they are supplied with ample capital to carry on the business in a large and successful way. They invariably have all new goods tested before placing them on sale, and in this way are able to sort out and select such goods as they know can be depended on, thus insuring their customers full value for their money. Wood, Erickson & Trimble Auto Co.-"The Business Man's Runabout," "The Doctor's Machine" and "The Motor Surrey," made by the A. B. C. Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis, are machines which are rapidly growing in favor. The machines are high grade in every particular, and most reasonable in price. This line is handled in this city by The Wood, Erickson & Trimble Auto Co., 1808 Arapahoe street. This firm also has the Denver agency for the "Mason," the swiftest, best and strongest two-cylinder car in America. It is popularly known as the "hill climber." The name "Mason" is synonymous for all that is good and reliable. The auto buyer will conserve his interests by thoroughly testing the machines handled by this firm. The Great Arrow and the Pope-Hartford.-The manufacturer says: "We have endeavored to adapt our policy to that of the intelligent user and take a lesson from his point of view. We believe in building a car to be the servant and not the master, ready at all times to do the owner's bidding; to minimize repairs and accidents; to be good and true for a long series of years; to be also a thing of beauty, of joy and pride of ownership. To those who appreciate our view we appeal according to their various wants. Our continuous endurance records, our policy as outlined, our many enthusiastic owners, all go to prove our oft-repeated claim, which we again assert, that The Great Arrow Motor Car is, for American roads, conditions and temperaments, without a rival." Tom Botherill, 1643 California, is agent for this machine, which enjoys an international reputation. He also has the Pope-Hartford Model M., admittedly and unquestionably the speediest, most powerful, most popular and highly endorsed car in its class of the year. The Robertson & Doll Carriage Co., who have been established in Denver for the past 26 years and gained a reputation for good work, prompt service and reliability, do all kinds of automobile work, such as repairing and new springs made, repairing the wheels and axles, repairing the bodies and painting in all its branches. When they repaint a car it seems to show better than when it was new, and has lasting qualities, because they use only the best paints and varnishes. They repair and do new trimming to bodies and make new tops to autos. They also make wind shields with plate glass used folding or straight up. "Apache" Motor Cycle.-Single cylinder, 3 horse power, Thor engine and Thor carburetor, absolutely the very best made, double grip control, interval gears, the best system of lubrication, the Thor coaster brake, 21⁄2 inch G. & T. steel rim tires, Person's saddle.

CUMBE State Agent for "Apache," causing the machine to ride and control much easier, and doing away with the top-heavy effect on the 1907 "Thor" sets, and doing away with 80 per cent of the 1907 vibration. Forks, very heavy and strong, with heavy 4 plate crown. The "Thor" spring forks furnished (at extra cost) but not recommended, as spring forks (of any make) add to trouble and are not needed where the "Apache" Style Frame and 2 inch tires are used. Speed, 5 to 50 miles per hour. Brown & Beck, Makers, Denver, Colo. The Brush Runabout was designed in Detroit by Alanson P. Brush, designer of the single cylinder Cadillac, of which about 1,600 have been sold. The car for the busy physician. It keeps running, costs less than a horse and requires no more care if that care is given regularly; works 24 hours a day without getting tired, eats only when it works, averages 25 to 35 miles on a gallon of gasoline, climbs any hill with a road on it, and goes safely anywhere that wheels will go. It will not run very fast-up to 25 miles per hour-and seats only two persons comfortably. By observing these limits and not trying to make a combination of runabout, touring car and racer, all in one, Mr. Brush has produced a car of extraordinary efficiency, reliability and economy. The persistent sale for five years of his single cylinder Cadillac, and the marvelous success so far of his Brush Runabout are the best arguments of its merits. The detailed reasons why are in our catalogue. Write for it today, to F. A. Trinkle, 1376 Broadway, Denver, Colo., who has the western agency. Denver Motor Car Co.-Among the many types and models of motor cars on the market today, two cars in particular occupy an eminent posi tion attained by reason of their beautiful lines and finish, their endurance and great power, their simplicity and positiveness of control. These are the Great Smith cars made by the Smith Motor Car Company of Topeka, Kansas, and the celebrated Carter two-engine car, built by the Carter Motor Car Corporation of Detroit, Michigan. The Great Smith cars have many features that have won for them the enthusiastic admiration of the motoring public, chief among which might be mentioned their neat, compact appearance, easy and positive steering qualities, lightness of weight, simplicity of the controlling mechanism and the power and endurance of their engines. |
