“RELIABILITY” 
That’s the watchword of motorists to-day. They want speed, power, ele¬ 
gance and, above all, RELIABILITY. Thousands of private owners in America 
and abroad are demonstrating jiutocar Reliability in daily driving. Every 
endurance contest and race in which The Autocar is entered serves to emphasize 
RELIABILITY. Witness: 
Twenty-four Hour Endurance Derby at Point Breeze Track, Philadelphia, May 24-25. Won by Auto¬ 
car stock touring car, 30 horse power—55 miles ahead of nearest competitor. Ten contestants. 
Philadelphia-Harrisburg Endurance Run, January 1-2, over 220 miles of muddy roads. Won by 
Autocar stock runabout. 12 horse-power, 225 points ahead of nearest competitor. 
Record Run from Savannah to Augusta over 132 miles of worst roads in South without a single ad¬ 
justment—Autocar stock runabout, 12 horse-power.

the fact that the magnificent oak forests 
north of the Ohio river, in the central 
part of the Northern oak States, have 
largely disappeared. The oak of Ohio, 
Indiana and Lower Michigan had been 
nearly exhausted before the country had 
reached its present development in 
population and the industries which are 
yearly consuming increased quantities 
of oak lumber. It can plainly be seen 
that within the past five years there has 
been a great increase of demand for oak 
despite the two years of depression which 
have intervened. This is more especial¬ 
ly noticeable in the demand for such 
product as goes into house finishing, 
namely, plain and quarter-sawed red 
oak and quarter-sawed white oak. So 
large and urgent has been the call for 
red oak that the supply has been rapidly 
depleted, and what there is left has fallen 
into strong hands. Operators can now 
very nearly indicate the duration of the 
Wisconsin red oak supply, and the term 
limit is not many years in the future. 
It is probable that within five years the 
amount of red oak remaining in Wiscon¬ 
sin will scarcely be enough to affect the: 
market in any degree. In the mean¬ 
time, the remnants of Indiana, Ohio, 
Michigan and Southern Illinois oak will 
have disappeared, except in small hold¬ 
ings on farms. The great bulk of sup¬ 
ply will thereafter be south of the Ohio 
river. 
Southern resources for oak are mainly 
to be found in the States of West Vir¬ 
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, 
Missouri, Northern Mississippi, and 
Northern Alabama. There is oak in all 
the Southern States, but the alluvial 
bottom lands of the rivers must furnish 
the great bulk of lumber to go on the 
market. 
There are no statistics to show how 
much oak has been cut and marketed 
from the States north of the Ohio river. 
But we do know that there was never 
a better growth or more to the acre than 
abounded in Indiana, Ohio and South¬ 
ern Michigan. These were the banner 
oak States. Kentucky and Tennessee 
have produced a large amount of oak, 
and are among the partly denuded States. 
The supply of those States, like that of 
West Virginia, will be verging toward 
exhaustion, while that of the States 
north of the Ohio river is being com¬ 
pletely wiped out. Thereafter the main 
supply must come from the lower
