Palatial Home
Os Coddington
Sold to Cannon
The palatiial home of C. C.
Coddington, prominent iuto
mobile distributor, who died
several months ago, has been
sold to Martin Luther Cannon,
former president of the Can
non Mfg. Co., of this city, it
was learned the first of the
week. The sum involved in the
transaction for the. property,
which is located in Charlotte,
has not been learned, but it is
understood that Mr. Coddington
paid the Duke est.ce $60,000
for the property, and it is not
remote but that a total of <
$750,000 may have been paid
by Mr, Cannon.
Mr. Cannon, a son of the late
-James W. Cannon, Carolina million
aire and textile magnate, is a broth
er of Charles A. Cannnon, president
of the Cannon Mills, Inc., and a
brother-in-law of Jack Brown, of
this city.
Charlotte, Feb. 9. —The palatial
home and estate in Myers Park
formerlv occupied by the late James
B. Duke, and bought several years
by the late C. C. Coddington,
lias been sold to Martin L. Cannon/
president-treasurer of the Carolina
''lextile corporation and the David
son cotton mills, according to the
announcement last night by H. M.
Victor, administrator of the Cod
•dington estate.
Neither officials of the estate nor
G. G. Galloway, real estate operat
or who handled t’*s transaction,
would reveal the monetary consid
eration involved. No announcement
•f the price paid by Mr. Codding
ton was ever made, but at that time
it was generally reputed to be about
$400,000. Those in close touch
With the real estate 'situation in
Charlotte last night advanced the
♦pinion that yesterday’s deal probab
ly involved a half-billion dollars.
Deal Completed
The sale was understood to have
been completed yesterday after
short negotiations. The house, an
■immense structure of colonial type,
located in the heart of what has
been classed as one of the most
beautiful city estates in the south,
and which lies between Queens and
Providence roads in Myers Park.
The late power magnate pur
chased the estate years ago from
the late Z. V. Taylor, who was at
,that time president of the Southern
Public Utilities company. The old
house was remote and enlarged to
its present imposing form. _
Duke Fountain
On the estate is the famous Duke
fountain, which the late Mr. Cod
dington once offered the city if it
would remove it to a park and op
erate it. The heavy cost of removal
and operation prevented parks,
Chamber of Commerce and city of
ficials from taking advantage of
the offer.
Mr. Cannon was out of the city
k last night and could not be reached
V for a statement regarding his plans,
but it was understood that he would
occupy the estate in the near fu
ture.
When questioned regarding what
provision had been made for a home
for the young sons of Mr. Codding
ton, H. M'. Victor, president of the
Union National bank which adminis
ters the Coddington estate, said that
nothing along this line had been
<lone. x

STARTING THE CAR IN WINTER
A slow get-away in traffic in
winter time is a waste of time to
everyone. The modern car is built
to respond instantly to traffic move
ment if handled correctly. In warm
weather, when the motor is warm
and the oil running freely, it is
♦ i get a car which has
stood idle for sometime into instant
motion. . ,
But in winter when the motor is
cold and the oil thick, a car which
has stood for some time out doors
should be started with extreme care
. and no attempt made to join the
throng of traffic until the engine is
running smoothly.
The better the car is at starting,
the more care should be given it.
When a car stands idle the oil has
dr s l "f < L, down , into the crank case
ana it takes a few seconds for it to
lubricate freely. Even if the car
starts easily do not move from your
parking place at once and join stand
ing traffic, counting on racing the
motor while waiting in order to
lubricate.

a f ew moments while still *
parking to gradually warm up your
motor. Racing the engine under
any condition is very bad, but it is
inexcusable when the motor ic coif!.
Do not enter traffic until your
motor is running quietly and nor
mally, with all starting aids and
extra gas flow cut off. These rre
cnanical aids to starting are strictly
for starting and not for steady rr—
nmg. Until you can v t
them your car is not ready to move.
Remember that too much pressure
on the starter will wear your bat
teries down.
If you have trouble in starting
your car in winter, ten chances to
one something is wrong with your
method. Consult your dealer or a
good mechanic and see what bad
habit you have formed. Too much
gas or too little, at the wrong time,
makes all the difference between
getting away in good time and being
stalled. 6

A DRPENDABLE MOWER that's built to LAST
f
Experience of many years
in building long-lasting,
dependable mowers makes
possible this highly perfected
Case-Osborne Mower. For
simplicity of construction and
long continued service with
out adjustment, this mower
can’t be beat.
All non-essential parts are
eliminated —working parts
are oversize to insure long,
life. The fastest moving parts
have oversized bearings
pitman bearings are of the
toughest, hardest bronze.
Perfect alignment of the
cutter bar is secured — and
kept —on the Case-Osborne
Mower by a quick, positive,
aligning device. The bar has a
wide range of flexible up-and
down movement to allow
smooth, easy work on the
roughest ground—remarkable
strength to slash right through
its toughest job. Reduced fric
tion, dependable, trouble-free
operation*

Internal bevel gears and

power. To give this drive all
possible advantages, mower
frame is cast in one piece and
holes for all shafts bored in

long mowing life.
Underslung construction re

This has much to do with the
