10.000.000TH FORD COM-
PLETES TRANS-CON. TRIP
Ford car No. 10,000,000 com-
pleted its trans-continental jour
ney July 29, at 1 o’clock, when
it arrived at the Western term-
inal of the Lincoln Highway, ac-
cording to a telegram just re-
ceived by the Ford Motor Com-
pany from Frank Kulick, form-
er racing driver, who piloted
the car across the continent.
The arrival in San Francisco
was auspicious. The car, ac-
companied by a- large number
of motor cars, bedecked with
California’s choicest flowers,
was driven to the City Hall
where Mayor James Rolph re-
ceived a letter from Mayor
John Hylan of New York, in the
presence of an enthusiastic
crowd. It was then driven to
the end of the Lincoln Highway
where a final greeting was ex-
tended by James II. Houlihan,
official representative of the
Lincoln Highway Association on
the West Coast.
This marked the completion
of one of the most memorable
demonstrations in automotive
history.
The Ten-Millionth Ford was
started westward across the na-
tion’s greatest highway on June
16th, not to prove performance
but to commemorate an achieve
ment, and throughout the jour-
ney demonstrations, bands and
parades marked the progress
for nearly every mile of the en-
tire distance.
Burdened with the responsi-
bility of upholding Ford tradi-
tion, Ford Car No. 10,000,000,
one of approximately 7,200 stan
dard cars produced in a single
day, performed in characteris-
tic Ford fashion. The entire
distance of a little less than 4,-
000 miles was covered with but
me minor adjustment and with
absolutely no mechanical difficul
1y of any nature. Although
many hundreds of miles of road
p; rticularly through the west-
ern states and across the Rocky
Mountains are of dirt and grav-
el formation it is noteworthy
that this, the lowest priced car
built averaged 110 miles a day
for the entire six weeks and was
civ schedule to the minute in
every town visited.
The trans-continental trip of
the Ten-Millionth Car has form-
ally ended, but the interest re-
mains so keen that the car is
now being routed up the Pacific
Coast to Portland and Seatle,
from which point it will be
.'•hipped by boat back to San
Francisco and then driven over-
land to Los Angeles and prolia-
bly back across the country to
Detroit over a Southern route.
OLD WAShTnC 1T)N DEBT
PAID BY AMERICANS.
The Americans who were en-
tertained at luncheon at Bras-
cnose College, were afterwards
taken into the common room,
where among some old records,
was an entry showing that l«aw
it nee Washington, the great-
great-grand father of George
Washington, President of the
United States, matriculated
there in 1621, became a Fellow
•u 1623, and left in 1633, owing
the college the sum of 17s. lOd.
In spite of numerous efforts to
obtain payment of this sum,
there was no record in the col-
lege that it had ever been paid
although the Bursar was au-
thorized to sue Washington for
the sum. Mr. Campbell Lee,
one of the guests, of the Middle
Temple, and the New York Bar,
addressing the Bursar of Bras-
enose, said that in view of this
disclosure and in order to set
right the account, and on condi-
tion that the Principal and Fel-
lows of the college would can-
cel all “claims to interest, he
moved that the guests should
One often wonders why some
fail in business while others
with less capital, fewer friends,
and poorer opportunities suc-
ceed. The failures are usually
quitters. They start out well
with plenty of money, many ac-
quaintances and bright pros-
pects, but when reverses come,
or business gets dull, they stop
and take a rest. I once knew
a prosperous merchant with a
good trade who found his busi-
ness up against a serious drouth
that considerably diminished his
trade. He decided to begin to
cut down expenses by cutting
off advertising. He saved some
$30.00 a month in that way,
but his business fell away to
almost nothing. A young fel-
low, almost a stranger, in the
town, doubled his advertising as

forthwith present to the Treas-1 the drouth became worse, and
was soon doing twice as much
business as any other store in
the town. The old merchant
had to close his store after two
years of unprofitable business,
but the chap who wouldn’t quit

urer of the college a sufficient
sum to cancel the long-outstand-
ing debt. This was unanimous-
ly voted, and, with the consent
of the Principal, Mr. Sampson,
the Americans present handed
over the sum of 17s. 10d., and 1
thus paid the debt outstanding
for nearly three centuries
against the family of Washing-
ton.
The foregoing is taken from
the London Times, and was
handed The Eagle by A. L.
Mudge, who receives this paper
regularly. The Americans
spoken of are members of the
American Bar Association, who
are visiting in England, and
the amount, according to Mr.
Mudge, is about $4.45
FRANK PATTERSON BUYS
INTEREST WITH LEAZAR.
W. G. Leazar has sold a half
interest in his Gun, Welding and
Machine Shop, to Frank Patter-
son, the deal taking effect Au-
gust 1st. Mr. Patterson and
wife have moved here from Fort
Davis and are gladly welcomed
to the business and social cir-
cles of the city. Frank needs
nc introduction to the people of
Kerr County, or Southwest
Texas, for that matter, as he
formerly lived at Junction and
was a Texas Ranger for several
years.
Mr. Patterson is an expert
gunsmith and will have charge
of that department of the busi-
ness. He is also an all-round
mechanic and will assist with
other work when occasion de-
mands.
Mr. Leazar will devote his en-
tire time to the welding and ma-
chine work, which is increasing
rapidly; in fact, it was the in-
crease of this department that
caused the formation of the
partnership so as to better han-
dle the business. To better care
for the welding work the latest
improved appliances have been
added, including a portable weld
ing and cutting outfit for
side work.
