Rosse Case has added a self starter to his auto. It is of the General Electrical Co.’s make. This is the latest improvement to the Case car and if tales are true it is one of many. In fact people say you can find almost anything you are looking for in that car. It was originally a Ford but it has been so improved, torn out and built in, that it is now generally known just as the “Case Car.”
