$985.00
With Electric Starter $1085.00
To lovers of motoring, this announcement is more than passing interest: the 1914 KRIT
has arrived at our salesrooms.
This is the car that's proclaimed the greatest of all automobile values at or near the price.
This is the car that possesses accepted features of the highest priced cars—in appearance and in
mechanism and sells for $985.
In design, in style in comfort, the new KRIT leaves nothing to be desired. It is complete
to the last detail in the newest features and conveniences—beautiful stream-line body, tapered
bonnet, rounded radiator, graceful fenders, handsome beveled electric lights.
Electric lights, electric horn, electric starter if you wish; makes it a pleasure to drive the
new KRIT. Left drive means convenience in stepping in or out of the car —and safety when
on the street.
Driving compartment, entered from either side, affords extra convenience and service.
Gasoline tank in dash, giving gravity feed, underslung rear springs, demountable rims, Stewart
speedometer—all assist to make the new KRIT a car of exceptional value. ,
See the new KRIT. Judge for yourself why it has created a big impression the country
over. Ride in it—we will be glad to demonstrate over any roads and hills. In style and me
chanical arrangement it is almost a duplicate of the popular Hudson.

inches of braking surface. The motor
is almost the same as that of last
year, excepting that it has been im
proved by the addition of a few minor
details. The change In the piston rod
is one of these details. One of the
important features of the motor this
year is that the cylinders are tested
to a 150 pound hydraulic pressure.
The valves of this car are enclosed
with single plate and are easily remov
able. They are amply large allowing
the free passage of gases. Both the
inlet and exhaust valves are of the
same size and can be operated on the

H. M. Leland Declares Company
Has No Intention of Depart

Henry M. Iceland, president of the
Cadillac Motor Car Company, and re
cently elected to the presidency of the
Society of Automobile fcngineers, cor
rects an erroneous impression which
seems to prevail In some quarters
with regard to the future plans and
policies of his company.
"We could scarcely expect to con
trol,' says Mr. Iceland, "the very con
siderable volume of mouth to mouth
advertising which the Cadillac re
ceives. It would keen us busy if we
were to attempt to confirm or deny
the many and varied reports that are
constantly being circulated concern
ing the Cadillac. But when a misun
derstanding or misconception of the
methods, plans or policies of the Cad
illac Company is liable to creep Into
this sort of gratuitous publicity, we
consider it a duty we owe the public
as well as ourselves to correct what
ever inaccuracies may unwittingly be
reported.
'We have experimented, it is true,
with engines of six cylinders; in fact
we have built a number of such cars
in the past four years. We have test
ed them to the utmost: and we have
compared them,* point by point, with
some of the most higlv regarded
sixes which wo had bought for just

to note, in this connection, that we did
not find a single 'six' which, in our
opinion, outpointed our own in these

fact, were outpointed by our own
These experiments may have been the
basis of rumors that we were to mar

company has no such intention
"At one time or another our experi
mental division has built autohiobile
engines of almost every conceivable
type ami size. We made two-cylinder
cars some years ago. and it was ru
mored that we were to market such a
car—but we never did. We havn oior,
made three-cylinder cars, and it was
rumored that we were to market
them—but we never did. And ®n the
same way the rumor that we contem

is without foundation. Our experi
mental division, which we believe to
be the most thorough in the entire
industry, is ever active. No expense

left unturned In our efforts to dis
cover and provide that which will
demonstrate itself to bo best in prin

"Our tests, Investigations, experi
ments and comparisons have demon

degree of all-around efficiency obtain

of operation and maintenance. Fur
thermore our tests have proved that
such an engine as the present Cadillac
power-plant, in connection with a

INSUFFICIENT OIL
MIKES IUTO TIME
Consulting Engineer Dunham, of
Chalmers Company, Issues
Warning to Owners
BY CIIAKDES W. DUNHAM
Consulting Engineer of Chalmers
Motor Company
I honestly believe that one-halt oi
the troubles experienced by drivers of
motor cars are due to defective lubri
cation. Not because the amateur driv
ers of automobiles lack intelligence,
but because as a general rule they are
people unfamiliar with machinery.
Lubrication is the most neglected
phase of automobile care.
And this, in spite of the fact that
lubrication Is really the most impor
tant item in keeping a motor car in
good running order. Squeaks and
rattles are not the only results of fail
ure properly to lubricate working
parts. Grease and oil have two main
functions in any piece of machinery.
First, to overcome undue friction. Sec
ond, to keep the rapidly moving parts
cooled.
If you fail to lubricate your car, you
will probably get squeaks, but, more
important, you will get a loss of power,
and If you neglect lubrication too
greatly the motor will absolutely cease
to perform its function.
At the Chalmers factory we have
one general rule: when in doubt, lubri
cate.
It Is not hard to keep a car properly
oiled and greased. A little system will
insure that every part wh|ch needs
lubrication receives it regularly. Hero
are the principal parts of a car which
require attention:
Once each day, or about every 100
miles, the crankcase should be exam
ined to insure that oil comes up to the
level of the top try-cock. Simply add
new motor oil whenever the oil level
falls below this point. The steering
gear knuckle grease cups and Bteerlng
cross rod grease cups should each re
ceive one complete turn.
Faulty lubrication of the steering
gear Is absolutely suicidal and it re
quires only the simple turning of
a grease cup each day practically to in
sure that you will never be placed In
danger from the failure of your steer
ing mechanism to operate.
All spring bolt grease cups should
be given a- couple of complete turns
each day. The springs take the entire
jolting of the car. Squeaks develop in
them very rapidly, so their lubrication
is highly important.
The speedometer driving gears
should also receive attention daily.
The speedometer becomes useless if
the driving gears bind from undue
friction through insufficient lubri
cation. The wheel hubs, which must
work hard whenever the car is in mo
tion, should receive from at least ten
to fifteen drops of motor oil per day.
About twice a week the fan hub
should be given a few drops of motor
oil. At the same time the pump shaft
grease cups and steering gear grease
cups should be given two complete
turns. During this inspection see that
the steering wheel and steering col
umn each receive ten to fifteen drops
of motor oil.
Drawings For Position at
Auto Show on Monday
Space holders for the fifth annual
motor car show will meet at the Motor
Club headquarters, Monday morning, at
10.80 o'clock, and hold drawing for po
sitions at the coming show which will
be at the Arena-Rex garage on North
Third street, March 14th to 21st, inclu
sive. The names of exhibitors will be
on slips and placed in a hat. The ex
hibitor whose name is drawn first will
have first choice of position, second
name, second choice until all have been
allotted their proper places.
Prizes, ranging from five to fifty
dollars will be distributed during the
week of the show. The highest of these
will be for fifty dollars, the second for
twenty-five, and third for fifteen,
fourth, for ten, and several additional
live dollar prizes. Each admission
ticket will entitle the bearer to one
chance on these prizes.
J. Clyde Myton, manager of show
again this year, reports 9.000 of the
13;000 feot sold and the indications are
that this year's show will again ex
ceed any preceding exhibit.
Emrick in Charge of the

IS SAFETY WORTH
CONSIDERING?
You wouldn't entrust the lives of your wife or family in a frail boat on
the water would you? Well, why take just such risks in frail motor cars?
Did you ever stop to consider the danger you are in, when riding in a
poorly constructed automobile? When you stop to think it over, it's a serious
matter.
Before placing an order, see the
Abbott-Detroit Cars
Well known as the "BULL DOG LINE" on account of their GREAT
POWER and ENDURANCE.
Examine our cars CAREFULLY, THOROUGHLY CRITICALLY;
then examine others that claim to be just as good as ABBOTT, and after you
do this, you will own an ABBOTT, if you are looking fo<- DURABILITY,
ECONOMY, INDIVIDUALITY and REFINEMENT. All of this is built
in each model we manufacture and our models are made in FOUR and SIX
cylinders.
Bear in mind this is a DIRECT FACTORY BRANCH; which in other
words means MUCH to you if you are an intended buyer.
In addition to our line, we usually have some EXCELLENT values in
used cars.
