Show IN A RAMBLER TO SILVER LAKE LAJE LAI George T Car Establishes Establishes Establishes lishes a New Record STORY OF A GREAT RUN HUN l From rom Salt Lake to Brighton in Two Hours Ho rs It was iAo in the morning The stars were svere gleaming in the blue sky over overhead overhead overhead head but behind the gaunt lulls hills to the east was the first gray hint of the coming dawn The Time air was fresh and bracing full of the quality that sends the blood through the veins and gives to those th se who breathe it the feeling that after all aU this is a fine old world and life is well worth living George T 1 stock Rambler model 15 with the power of forty horses stored away under its hood was snorting like a horse hon e im impatient impatIent Impatient patient at the restraint of the bit Are you all in back bacle there asked Albert Bird Mr chauffeur All HAll in was the answer Bird touched a lever gripped the steering wheel and the thereat great reat car shot away in the darkness her headlights piercing the night like white fingers Down the State road to Murray and through that thriving town where the time first of the early ris rIsers ers ens rs were just beginning to build their breakfast fires sped the car Sensation of Flying Then to the east The sensation was that tha t of flying so 50 smoothly ran the car so successfully did the springs absorb all nU the jarring bumping un unpleasantness unpleasantness Unpleasantness pleasantness found fn in many cars The stars were beginning to pale and the light in the east was growing brighter Here and there in the green green fields on either side of the road a meadow lark called sleepily to its mate A man man came out of the back door of a farm house with a milk pail in his hand and stared open eyed at the Rambler and its occupants o cu ants If he got the Good morning that was wafted towards him he made no sign Indeed the car was going at a arate arate arate rate that would have prevented his re ro reply reply ply from reaching it unless he lie had bad shouted at the top of his voice By this time it was almost day The gray behind the mountains was shot with orange tints in presage of the suns return to the throne of day Ahead loomed the paper mill miU known to all who have traveled the route to Bright Brighton on and the time was At the first power house of the Utah Light Railway company was reached ranched rand and passed and at fifty five minutes from Mr rr residence at Fourth East street the tho second power house was left behind Now the car is at the Stairs The Stairs are areto areto areto to the average automobile what the pons of geometry is to the average student stu an impossible proposition proposition The Tho Th Rambler took it like two and two make four The road at this point is inconceivably rough Boulders in the Way It not only goes almost straight up but cloudbursts have washed great gullies s in it and giant boulders are everywhere In Iii the spots that had been repaired rep ired loose shale has been used making it extremely difficult to get a tire grip on it But up up up went the Rambler To the party in the cars cap cat consisting of James H Moyle Dr R R Hampton and J 3 Fred Odell Oden in addition to the chauffeur it seemed im impossible impossible possible that the ascent strewn with tremendous difficulties as it was could be bo made The Rambler never fal faltered faltered never neer missed an explosion never punctured a tire And at the head of the Stairs was reached It was the same story all the way to the Brighton hotel The Rambler not only got over every difficult place but it got over oer them in such a way as to leave the impression of or strong reserve power AIr All the way up the time canyon the ride was a joy and arid a delight On the hillsides the leaves heaves were Wore still sUB green though here and there could be seen the first touch of color to indicate the passing of the summer Foaming over the rocks dropping now and then in falls faUs that cast up bursts of white spray spra ran the mountain stream Very gradually rose the sun a gentle turning on of a light that th birds seemed to revel r vel and rejoice in as they twittered among the pines One hour and anc six minutes from Salt Lake to get back to the figures again the halfway house was reached Eight minutes later came mill B and then in rapid succession the Lake Blanche road the mine Argenta mill D and other sights familiar to those who journey along the road that leads to the summer resort among the moun mountains mountains In I n Time for Breakfast It was just eleven ele n minutes after S 8 in plenty of time for breakfast I when Bird blew his horn in front of the Brighton hotel The elapsed time from the Odell Odeil residence was two hours and twentysix minutes The actual running time was two hours and thir thirteen thirteen thirteen teen minutes The Time thirteen minutes delay was occasioned by a brief stop to look at the Maxfield mine turning out and waiting for fo teams and other things in no way connected with the operation of the car For the car ran straight through this most arduous journey without the slightest disaster of any kind The distance from the Odell residence to the time Brighton hotel is said to be 32 miles If you should attempt to walk it you would say it was a hundred miles by team it seems at least fifty In a Rambler automobile it is really nothing at all Remember another thing The elevation of Salt Lake City is 42 10 feet The elevation of Brighton is feet So the Rambler car in addition to negotiating the tIme all but im impossible impossible Impossible possible mountain road went more than of a mile in the air in covering the distance This establishes a new now record a rec record record record ord that is sure to stand until some somo other Rambler can break it And the moral of the time story is perfectly obvious It is When you buy a car for real service in i this section of the country you OU cannot afford not to buy a Ram Barn Rambler Rambler bler bier George T Odell can tell ten you about it because he sells it But perhaps you would rather talk to James H Moyle or one of the other oth r members of at atthe the Brighton party part You Yap Yo will find him himor or any of them just as enthusiastic about the tho Rambler as George T Odell |
