In llm ilcvelonment of hichwny transport in the United States during tne last three jears nml its proDauie crow tli in the near future, the economic deieii, construction and maintenance of hislnvnjs must be based upon a con siclenition of the effect of motor trails port on the sccrnl component parts ot a highway. It is evident the work of the highway engineer and the transport manager will overlap at many points. Regulations which refer to weights, speeds and dimensions of motortrtn Us nnd trailers should receive special con sideration during preliminar.v investiga tions. As an example of such require ments, there will be noted the following maximum limitations embodied in a res olution adopted at the 1010 convention of the American ltoad PiuHders" Asso cintimi : Total gross load on four wheels. 2S.000 pounds; width.

F. Davenport: ' Figure at Top Righl of Group Perhaps you recollect Davenport as a winner beyond par of bicycle races in the days when the two-wheeled machine was the ultimate in speed and in oross-country delights. E. F., Davenport is the President of the new (but perfectly arrived) Davenport Motor Company. Thirty-seven years of age, he typifies the youth of this' organization and personifies the pep that has put the Templar into Phil ad el -phia.and into its rightful niche. He is Philadelphia born and bred, and has been in business in old Philly for as many years as his own true years warrant. M. E. Jackson: Figure in Center of Group Jackson was born in Jersey, and is not only willing, but proud to admit it this only 35 years ago, at that. A graduate of the W. and J. College, at Washington, Pa., he has been in the automobile business all his busy life, and fully assumes the respon sibility that is his as Manager of the Company. C. At Selheimer: Figure at Bottom Right of Group Born in Philadelphia, as his association with such a thoroughly Philadelphia organ ization would demand. And, at 38 years of age, Sales Manager of the Company. And because he has been in the automobile business for a brief five years, this is rather wonderful commentfvry on his powers of organization and experience in control. Per haps his former experience a3 on advertising man has taught him the psychology, of life; but, anyway, here is word that he ha3 been remarkably successful. " ss. Charles Marsch: Figure at Bottom Left of Group Charley i3 Service Manager of the Company, and it has been said more than once that "Service" is his middle name. Another large piece of evidence that the automo bile business has its attractions for MEN, for Charley, now 38 years of age, has been in the business all his working life, and KNOWS CARS.

Has there ever been such a car that has achieved all that the Templar has achieved in the few short months of our insti tution here? The one .brief answer is "See the Templars on the roads todayl" . , In the Templar superfine quality, moderate size, real economy and attractive appearance have been accomplished for the first time. Skillful engineering and clever designing have evolved a lively, sturdy, light car which is a revelation to those who believed that distinction, power, beauty and the finest materials could be obtained only in the most expensive cars. Prominent engineers tell us that we have the finest four-cylinder motor ever Built. Dealers tell us that wo have tho handsomest small car on tho market. Templar owner fell us that they oro averaging 20 to 24 miles per gallon and 10 to 12 thousand miles on a set of cord tires. Ask for descriptive matter.

McDOWELL is one of ie hustling Kina or modern young men a young man with a vision of Service and a full determination to sell the best car available. He chooses and recommends the Templar. Every convenience and every interest for those interested. The Big Main Line Distributers Are: COMPT ON -BUTLER, INC. Distributers for Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties "Live" as they' make them, Compton-Butler, Inc., have gone the limit in backing up the Templar, because the Templar has Justified such whole-hearted backing. With the elegant new showrooms and service station, now established on the City Line, at Bala, conveniences for display and demonstration are the privi lege of every Main Line resident, and this is cordial invitation to come and inspect the Templar at a spot convenient to all and compatible with the worth of the car. The Grand Garage Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wm. Thomas, Prop. The Templar is just as good a car in Wilkes Barre as it is in Philadelphia, and so Mr. Thomas thinks, after thinking very carefully. He's proven the car and proven his faith in the car, and this proof and this faith are now the common property of Templar owners in Wilkes-Barre and the largo surrounding territory. Templar Motor Sales Co. Reading, Pa. H. H. Eschedor, Prop. It 'enhances the dignity of the Templar and of the Templar agency at Reading to speak of this organization as a "live bunch." Mr. Eschedor didn't "take on" the Templar until he had demon strated the "Superfine Light Car" as the ideal machine for his customers and their needs. It satisfies tho one and fills the other. Berks County is invitedl Mathis Motor Company, Inc: Trenton, N. J. Thos. Mathis, Pres. . Every one knows Mathis in the automobile field, and every one delights in the friendship. Convinced from experience of the merits of the Templar, Mr. Mathis has incorporated his own company and stands ready to display and demonstrate the Templar to everybody who pos sesses 1 per cent of interest. With Mathis and the Templar this will immediately be a 100 per cent of conviction. W WirlW ZiH M V( 1tI iv
