emphatically no. unless Congress, state

Work Otcrlaps
Tine. 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. S feet;
oviT-nll lieicirt. 11! feet 12 inches; over
all length. US feet.
1! ridge Conditions
Another important factor which re
quires attention in the trausport survcj
is the condition of bridges. A bridge
is an integral part of a highwaj. It is
to be legrctted that this fact usually
1ms not been reeoinized bv lawmakers.
.'.'" Man highways arc built of sufficient
strength to carry the motor irauic to
which they are subjected, while the
bridges are so weak that their condition
prevents the use of the highway by it
pait of the motortruck traffic.
It is self-evident that bridges of

The Templar Has Taken
Philadelphia, by Storm!
and here are the men who've ,
put over The Templar Ideal
E. 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. Philadelphia born.

Has there ever been ouch a car? 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. Be suro to visit

young man with a vision of

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.
