Show Motor Motions. j fl-! Motoring will soon take the place again of all j ;&' ''! outdoor and indoor sports, and among the most i'lfil !' 1 enthusiastic of the Utah propellars will be the - j-jijl,'?!' bunch from Ogden who have recently invested In l! 1 i I fl half a dozen Molines for the summer travel. 1;j';!f1 Will Wright, W.

' f H gon& Macnine company has held the lead in the j fl exploitation of new vehicles throughout Utah and M r! ' . fl ! 9 , . ' adjoining states. By literal leaps and bounds this ' ' ' Kfflj concern has kept in the van of the procession of ' . j m implement dealers which have played no ; ' ' 1 1 'J8 , , minor role in the west's development, but s V ; ":Wt p the year just closed has marked the ' 'j f broadest strides in it's existence. In every de- l ' jS. partment of the local house and the numerous 1 HIS branches most gratifying gains have been record- )j 1 i'" cd. Apropos of the company's alertness lo the 'IB '' demands of the times, the .automobile department ! 18 ! ' f j lias 1)00,1 expanded and under the direction of I Mr. Frank Libby will comprise a mammoth es- , llBBl' 1 ' tablishment in itself, where a number of stand- f 'vm ' ' ard cars will be handled, an exhibit of which IjJm. w111 arranged in the near future.

The handsome closed car illustrated herewith consists of a limousine built on a Peerless standard stand-ard chassis. The enclosed part is fitted up with all the luxury demanded in a vehicle of this type, having electric lights, pockets for stationery, visiting vis-iting cards, toilet articles and the like; speaking tube for communicating with the driver and other conveniences. Three persons can find comfortable comfort-able room on the rear seat, and two more on folding fold-ing seats; the driver's seat will carry two more, making the total capacity seven persons. ' Model 16, Peerless Limousine. The body is finished outside in Brewster green, and the upholstering is in finest water grained leather to match. The running gear is black. Ample provision is made for ventilation of the car on pleasant days; the window-; in the read of the front seat and those in the Joors and on the sides can be dropped down in their respective recessions. The top extends well forward and in stormy weather, the front may be closed by a glass screen which slides to the roof when not in use. With the screen down, and the curtains buttoned over the sides, the chauffeur is well protected from the elements. The limousine is getting in greater favor every day and in the city it has become the winter car for the man of affairs and the elect of the society, i for it proves the swiftest and most convenient means of conveyance for office calls, shopping dinners, card and theatre parties during Inclement Incle-ment weather. |
