ENSMINGER SHOW OF
INTEBEST TO MW
Store Attractively Decorated, Well
Known Cart Are Displayed
to Best Advantage
The annual automobile show of tha
Ensminger Motor Company was opened
Saturday night at its salesrooms 'at
Third and Cumberland streets and
proved to be a very satisfactory first
j night, as a number of persons were in
attendance. The salesroom, which
consists of two stores on the northeast
! corner, have been decorated outside
! as w ell as inside with large American
' flags and palms as a background for
\ the exhibition cars.
j The cars on exhibit are the Ohio,
! Apperson and Mitchell pleasure cars
| and Dart trucks, and are arranged In
a most attractive way in the sales-
I room. The Apperson Bros. Automo
bile Co. has sent Alfred Young from
the factory at Kokomo, Ind., to take
j charge of the Apperson exhibit, while
the Mitchell-Lewis Co., of Racine,
j Wis., has sent W. A. Walton, of Phila
j delphia, to assist in demonstrating the
, Mitchell cars. It Is expected that B.
H. Kirkbride, from the Crescent Motor
Co., will bo here to-day to assist with
the Ohio cars. The show was repeated
Monday afternoon and evening with
the same marked success and will be
continued all during the week. No
admission is charged and the public
is welcome to attend and examine the
cars.
The Ensminger Motor Co. is the
wholesale distributor for Ohio cars
throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and
the show will be kept open in the
mornings for the benefit of out-of
town dealers who care to examine the
Ohio. The making of this contract
between the Crescent Motor Co. and
the Ensminger Motor Co. is another
evidence of the popularity of Harris
burg as a distributing center.
Lighter Construction Is
Tendency, Says Matteson
D. E. Matteson, of the Jeffery Sales
Company, of Philadelphia, in speak
ing of the Harrisburg show at the
West End Garage Company's exhibit
said:
"The Harrisburg show points very
plainly a tendency of motor car manu
facturers to forsake the big, bulky
cars of former years and to strive for
economy, not alone in first cost, but in
upkeep.
"Apparently the cry of the public
for economical motor cars has not
reached all of the motor car manu
facturers, although some of them
come to this show with models built
on so vastly different lines that one
would not know except for the name
plate that they were in any way re
flated to tlie cars exhibited at former
shows by these manufacturers.
"This is strikingly true of the Jef
fery line, the leader in which is the
Four, weighing only slightly over
I ->OOO pounds and driven by a motor
which turns up normally at about
! 2,200 R P. M. and develops forty horse
< power, althouogh its cylinder dimen
sions are only 8%x0"4.
, "Paris gives not only styles in wom
en s attire, but we look to France for
new ideas in motor car development
las well. At the recent N'ew York slmw
fifty-two out of eighty-six models dis
played had a piston displacement
smaller than that of the above-men
tioned Jeffery, which is. perhaps, the
car which best exemplifies the Euro
pean idea. Therefore, the best Amer
jcan manufacturers, while recogniz
ing the permanence and sound logic
of the highspeed light motor, have not
rushed to extremes in reducing piston
displacement.
"European practice is reflected in I
other ways in this same Jeffery car.
; Importer annular ball bearings are
used rather than our American bear
ings. Vanadium steel is utilized in
axles and in drive shafts. The body
is designed by Rothschild, whose work
was the sensation of this season's
j Paris show. Paris seems to have dis
carded the Streamline for this newer
type of Rothschild body which Jef
fery is introducing into this country."
Sidecars on Motorcycles
Increase in Popularity
"One of the most notable develop
ments of the winter in motoring cir
cles is the remarkable increase in the
use of sidecars with motorcvcles, and
ne ™ ease "f handling the machine
.! this equipment In snow or on
slippery roads," says Charles H. Uhler
Thor and Yale motorcycle representa
tive at the auto show.
"Probably ten motorcycles have
been seen in action on the most se
vere winter days for each one that was
P rev,ous years, and a majority
of them had sidecars attached to their
machines. Their reports agree that
the sidecar renders control easy on
icy ruts and snowy roads, in addition
to being quite a luxurious method of
carrying an extra passenger.
'.' 0 . f . i c ? un " > ' 11,0 two-speed gear that
I is built into the good motorcycles now
| is responsible for so many riders using
I sidecars, for ho motorcycle could
! handle this extra weight satisfactorily
i without such a transmission. With
jtho two-speeds, its fine dope. You
j.iust step on the low gear pedai and
j move off right away without slipping
your clutch or racing your engine,
and it doesn't matter how rough or
snowy the road is, either. Then you
shift to-high gear, Just like an auto
mobile and away you go.
"A number of other motorcycles
that I know report the same thing.
They are using sidecars with thoir
two-speed machines, and are doing
things that they would never attempt
in previous winters, and are mltrhtv
enthusiastic over it."
Six Easy on Roads, Says
I. W. Dill, Hudson Dealer
" K r ,s L (ac ±P ot generally known,"
says I. W. Dill, distributor of the
Hudson motor cars, "that roads will
last longer and hold their surface
; better when six-cylinder cars are used.
'lt isn't weight of car, or suction
due to tire pressure, or speed alone,
that wears roads. It is the very
definite though sometimes imper
ceptible, slipping and sliding of the
wheels on the road surface. Were it
possible to get rid, entirely, of the
slipping and fraction of wheels on the
roads there would be comparatively
little wear due to this cause.
Now the six-cylinder motor car
according to engineers, has'less slip
page of wheels on the road than has
any other. The application of the
power of the motor to the rear wheels
and through them to the surface of
the tire resting upon the road, is so
steady and free from Jerks and Jars
that there is practically no slipping
or rubbing against the road."

of Exhibit
The fifth annual automobile show
I certainly got Into full swing last even
jing with 4,600 people viewing the ex
; hiblt in general, and the prospective
buyer noting the various improve
ments In detail. Many cars and sev
; eral of the stripped chasses were
■ placed yesterday that had not arrived
Saturday evening. Therefore the ex
hibit may now be considered com
plete. The Arena Rex buildings were
! ablaze with life, light and color as the
j Interested attendance wended Its way
] among the various makes of motor
| cars at the exhibit.
I The morning and afternoon crowd
were of a serious investigating turn
;of mtnd, looking carefully into the
j technical vents of the various cars
jand noting the difference in construc
tion and refinement. Many dealers
land sub-agents from the various coun
j ties were present to make compari
isons or to place orders with the re
spective distributors of Harrisburg
who have the wholesale agency for a
number of adjoining counties or fac
tory branches, for which Harrisburg
Is becoming known.
Actual sales are a strong feature
of the show as the season is so far
advanced, and tlio Spring fever feel
ing in the air, that the man who has
his mind set on buying a car does not
hesitate long for fear of delaying the
delivery.
Seen and Overheard at
the Harrisburg Auto Show
I. W. Dill has added the Bessemer
2,000 to 4,000 pound trucks to his
galaxy of motor cars. J. W. Bayard,
factory representative, is at the auto
mobile show tills week. This truck is
made at Grove City, Pa. It Is a worm
drive type, made in three models that
cover practically every truck require
ment. H. Cook, the milk dealer, has
Just purchased a one-ton truck from
Mr. Dill, but a model could not reach
here in time for the local show.
The Quartette Sales Company is
showing a mechanical device for at
taching to the front and rear fenders
by which the driver can signal the
direction he wishes to go. By touch
ing a button a white arrow on a red
background appears simultaneously at
the front and rfear of the car, indi
cating the driver intends to turn to the
left or right. This signals the driver
of another car he meets at a curve
or the officer at the crossing of a
crowded thoroughfare. A number of
cities by ordinance have adopted this
as a requirement ofr the traffic rules.
This company is also demonstrating
an automatic gas lighter and regu
lator by -which the head or tail lamps
may bo lighted by the simple touch
of a button.
Tho Sterling Auto Tire Company
has on display the original Miller
tiro that was used for 36,241 miles on
a Locomobile. The affidavit and letter
of the owner and driver of the car
accompanies the tire. This exhibit is
Intended to show the durability of
Miller tires, represented in this city
by tho Sterling Auto Tire Company,
and used by many of tho leading race
winners.
Ileofiy Brothers are displaying the
newest Improvements on the Harley-
Davidson motorcycle, Including a side
car and the Harley-Davidson motor
cycle truck. This truck has a capacity
of 600 pounds without tho driver and
tiie makers claim a gasoline consump
tion of 30 to 40 miles per gallon with
full load. This car has a speed of 2
to 35 miles per hour. The features
of tho Harley-Davidson 1914 motor
cycle are step-starter, selective two
speed, double brake control, double
control of free wheel, folding foot
boards, full lloating seat. Over thirty
desirable improvements are noticeable
on the new Harley-Davidson.
The familiar face of E. C. Huhn is
again seen at the exhibit of the Key
stone Lubricating company. Mr. Huhn
is sales manager of the entire automo
bile division of this company, with
representatives from coast to coast.
Mr. Huhn reports his company to be
the largest grease manufacturers in
the country. A transmission gear in
operation gives an intelligent concep
tion of how the gears are lubricated
when the automobile is in motion.
The West End Electric and Cycle
Company's exhibit includes the only
four-cylinder motorcycle in the show,
the Henderson. Four Indian motor
cycle models are features. The one
has the Hendee electric starter, an
other the two-speed and kick starter
and the third has the pedaling method
of starting; also the two-speed regular
model without electric equipment. The
application of electricity to the motor
cycle has been successfully accom
plished in the Tndlnn. This includes
electric starter, electric headlight
electric tail light and electric signal!
There are two sets of electric storage
batteries, each with 15 hours' lighting
capacity.
The Maxwell exhibit consists of a

DETROIT FICTORY
Started in the Year of 1902 on
a Scale That Startled
the Town
The Cadillac Company bears the dis
tinction of being the oldest manufac
turer cars in Detroit, the
world's center of the motor car indus
try.
Its inception dates back to June 'n
the year 1902, not many years ago in
point of time, yet "in the long ago" In
motor car history.
At that time several of Detroit's
prominent citizens and capitalists or
ganized the Cadillac Automobile Com
pany.
The company proceeded at once
with preparations to manufacture cars
on a somewhat more extensive scale
than had theretofore been under
taken. They had a plant thoroughly
equipped with all necessary facilities
excepting for the manufacture of mo
tors.
The Iceland and Faulconer Manu
facturing Company had acquired an
enviable reputation for manufacturing
marine and autopvobile motors, as well
ob high efficiency machinery, gears,
etc. Their co-operation was sought
and a contract was consummated for
the making of 3,000 Cadillac single
cylinder engines. The size of this con
tract caused the automobile world to
gasp. It was looked upon as little
short of idiocy. But in time the au
tomobile world began to appreciate
the far-sightedness of the Cadillac or
ganizers.
Sold 2,000 tarn in 1903
Before the close of the year 1902 a
number of cars were built and tested
out. The following year about 2,000
cars were made and sold. The re
mainder of the original 3,000 motors
were used within a few months and a
second large order placed. It is the
pride of the Cadillac company that
practically every one of those cars, so
far as they are able to learn, is still
in service.
In April, 1904, the company suffer
ed a disastrous loss by lire, in which a
considerable portion of the plant was
destroyed. Hut they were not to be
disheartened, and before the smoke
had cleared away, plans had been for
mulated for continuing work, and In
less than one week the shipping of
cars was resumed.
The company continue " the manu
facture of one cylinder cars for some
five years and produced in 'all about
20,000 of that type. In the meantime,
however, in 1905, the company placed
its first four-cylinder model in the
market.
By this time the interests of the
then Cadillac Automobile Company
and the Leland and Faulconer Manu
facturing Company had become so
closely identified that a consolidation
of the two was effected under the
name of Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany, and the general management of
the new corporation was assumed by
Henry M. Leland, in which he was
very ably assisted by his son, Wilfred I
C. Leland, who was elected secretary.
Vow Models Added
In 190 C a new model was added to
the line and another in 1907.
While the Cadillac company had al
ways been recognized as one of the
largest producers, both as to quantity
of cars and volume of business, the
Fall of 1908 marked the beginning
of a new era in its career.
At that time a sensation was creat
ed in automobile circles by the an
nouncement of a new car, the Cadilla/c
"Thirty," to be sold at $1,400, a hith
erto unheard of price for a car of its
grade, size and power, and some 6,000
of the cars were made and marketed.
At tho close of the 1909 season, Mr.
Wilfred C. Leland became general
manager of the company and Henry
M. Leland became advisory manager.
For 1910 the car was enlarged all
around and refined, several additions
made to the equipment and exactly
8.000 were manufactured and sold at
$1,600.
For 1911 the car was still further
enlarged and refined, and during that
year exactly 10,008 cars were manu
factured and marketed.
First Electric Starter
The opening of the 1912 season saw
what was doubtless the most Import
ant single step forward in motor car
Improvement up to that time sinco
the inception of the Industry.
The Cadillac was the first to give to
the world an electrical system to crank
the engine automatically, thereby ban
ishing the hand crank to oblivion.
Not only this, but the system included
electric lighting features.
During the 1912 season 12,000 Ca
dillacs were manufactured and sold.
The year 1913 saw further advances
in the way of Increased size of en
gine and general refinement all along
the line, as well as lmproveryehts and
developments here and there, includ
ing a simplified electrical system for
cranking, lighting nnd ignition and an
automatic spark advance which reliev
ed the driver <jf the necessity of con.-

stantly shifting the spark lever.
The output for the 1913 season to
taled just 15,007 cars, amounting in
retail selling value to more than $30,-
000,000.
Since its inception the Cadillac com
pany has manufactured and distribut
ed more than 80,000 cars, aggregating
in retail selling value approximately
$130,000,000.
Tho plants occupy about one and a
half million square feet of floor space
and give employment to more than 7,-
000 men.
Maxwell Cars Will Race
in Memorial Day Classic
A photograph of the Maxwell cars
that are entered in the Memorial Day
classic at Indianapolis is an interesting
feature of the Miller and Alter exhibit
at the auto show.
Three racing cars designed by Ray
Harroun, are now almost, ready for
the test under which the designer has
guaranteed they will make a lap (2%
miles), on the International speedway
in less than 1.37, a second faster than
&ny car has ever negotiated a lap on
that track. If the three Maxwells
make a creditable showing against
the French and German and Italians,
on the Indianapolis speedway, it is
more than likely that another team of
three will be made to conform to the
European standard and to race in the
big European classic next year.
