Established, Says Cole
That the automobile show is a per

SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG B§Ss& TELEGRAPH MARCH 14, 1914.
about them—a sort of air tfhich sug
gests a new era. There has been less
fuss, less bragging, less lake publicity,
less uncertainty, less affectation. There
has been greater crowds, more real
interest, better cars, more reasonable
prices—quality considered, a firmer
grasp on the part of the user on what
constitutes real automobile value. The
sum total of the shows, so far, has
tended to prove the solidity of the
motor car industry itself, and at the
same time the public has shown a
very serious interest instead of the
old lialf-flippant attitude, which used
to bo in vogue.
"People for the most part, have
gone to shows this year either to edu
cate themselves on motor cars in gen
eral or to buy some motor car in
particular. As a result, buying has
been heavier with our company and,
1 presume others as well. The tend
ency of construction has been conser
vative. Of course a few innovations
have crept in—special motor designs
and a number of extremely small cars.
The great majority of makers, how
ever, have stuck to the established
and proven type of motor car, which
goes to show that the tendency in all
automobile development is toward
standardization of design and con
struction."
SAXON Hi A
POPULAR PRICED CAR
Attractive New Small Car to Be
Shown Here For the
First Time
Of the low-priced cars that have
made their appearance on the market
this year the Saxon Is scheduled to
meet with popular favor with auto
mobile enthusiasts who want a high
grade car for less than SSOO. The
Keystone Motor Car Company has se
cured the agency for the Saxon line,
which will be exhibited at the local
sh6w.
This car, which sells for $395, is
well designed and carefully built. It
has a four-cylinder motor and sells,
equipped with lamps, top, adjustable
windshield, baggage box, tools and
tire kit. It will travel from live to
forty miles an hour. The car has
center control and left drive. The
clutch and service brakes are con
trolled by separate pedals, and the
throttle is controlled entirely by the
foot accelerator.
One of the chief features is the low
cost of upkeep—2s miles per gallon
of gasoline-and 100 miles per pint of
oil. The car is light in weight—hence
low tire cost. Riding comfort is
afforded by cantilever springs, '96-inch
wheelbase and 28-inch wheels. The
fenders are molded oval shape and
the body is streamline.
There is plenty of leg room and a
large carrying compartment at the
rear. The simplicity of design makes
the car easy to care for. Vanadium
steel is used In many parts. The trans
mission is of the sliding gear pro
gressive type. t
Robert L. Morton, manager of the
Keystone Motor Car Companv, has re
ceived word that a new record in auto
mobile manufacturing has just been
made by the Saxon Motor Company—
i record, it is said, never before ap
proached by anv new automohile com
pany. The Sbxoji factory at Detroit
has anticipated by a full week the
announced date for first shipments and
'8 now busily shipping cars every day.
Dealers and customers who In the past
*ave waited weeks for new models

this is.

When the plans of the Saxon com
pany were first made public last De
cember it was announced that ship
ments would commence March 1. No
nromises were made to anyone for de-
Mverv for cars prior to that date. The
original production schedule ca'led for
the commencement of work in the fac
tory on February 18. The first chassis
went through on February 16. The
flrst demonstrating car wa« shlpned on
Fehrnarv 21, a week ahead of the
nromised date. Since then shipments
"f demonstrators have been made
dally.
According to H. W. Ford, proslflpnt
if the Faxon eomnnnv, ouantlty pro

FV>rd says: "W'tb'n a few davs we
•ihall be making shlnments in carload
'ots. We expect to have all our deal
ers supplied with demonstrators be
fore April 1. We hone to he on a ship
ping schedule of 40 to 50 ears a day
bv April 1. and to continue at this ratb
or better thereafter."
U. 8. CABS FOR KXPORT
A Canadian-Pacific steamer which
recently cleared from St. .Tohn carried
214 Studebaker automobiles for dis
tribution by the corporation's London
.branch. During February Studebaker
shipped an average of forty cars dally
to foreicn ports.
iBUICK MODELS AT
THE LOCAL SHOW
Latest Designs, Including Delco
Self-Starter and Famous
Overhead Valves
Buick motor cars for 1914 to be
shown by Hotenstein & Zech, of Leb
anon, Pa., at the Harrisburg auto
show are still being built around the
famous overhead valve motor; differ
ing somewhat in appearance from
the handsome models of 1913, but
identical in performance with the
Buicks of the past. Changes have
been few —but refinements have been
made and details added for greater
beauty and convenience, including the
handier left-side drive and the sim
pler self-control. But the fundamen
tals of Buick construction are un
changed—unchangeable.
In addition the Delco system of elec
tric self-cranking and lighting is built
Into every motor as an integral part
and is Included without additional
cost. A year ago, when untried, un
proved self-starters were being bolted
onto many an excellent car in any
available place—a source of bitter dis
appointment in thousands of cases—
the Buick management took a firm
stand. It announced that no self
starter would be incorporated in any
Buick car until a starter had been
found as good as the Buick car itself.
Such a starter is the Delco, and the
Delco installation in the Buick is
something you may rely upon as a ful
fillment of the Buick ideals, which
means "uninterrupted use of his in
vestment" to every Buick owner.
The Best Value
All this at a cost which makes the
self starting, automatically lighted
Buick of 1914 one of the greatest mo
tor car values offered this season.
There is a reason for his super-valve
—Buick cars are built complete in the
Buick plant, In such numbers that lit
erally hundreds of economies are af
fected in the necessary operations of
casting, forging, machining, testing,
assembling, etc.; and when completed,
Buick cars are trustworthy and reli
able, for every operation is Buick's
own and nothing is left to chance or
outsiders.
' The factory savings and service sav
ings afTected by this gigantic organiza
tion and the experience gafhered from
the 150,000 Buicks that have made
good, render 11 possible to-day for the
Buick Motor Company to offer for
1914 a line that challenges compari
son. It has paid to build better cars.
Messrs. Hottensteln & Zech, local
representatives, will be asslted at the
exhibit by P. G. Hottensteln, E. L.
Thrasher, assistant manager of the
Philadelphia branch, also Messrs.
Tempest and Muellersham and Wilkle,
all of the Philadelphia branch. Mr.
Wilkle Is an expert mechanic and will
demonstrate the Buick Six to all inter
ested persons at the show.
DEFEATS LIGHT ORDINANCE
The Columbus (Ohio) Automobile
Club has defeated an ordinance pro
viding that in the operation of a mo
tor car in the city of Columbus, when
driving: &t the rate of ten miles an
hour, a white light must be displayed,
while a green light must show at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour and when
driving at the rate of twenty miles an
hour a red light must give the warn
ing.
STANLEY TWO-PASSENGER ROADSTER

'This year the Stanley steam cars are being: shown at the local auto
mobile exhibit. Paul D. Messner has represented the Stanley for a number
of years. A great many of them are in use, both for pleasure cars and com.
mercial purposes. Included in his display is the Koehler one-ton truck.
Essick Well Versed
on Insurance Subject
Insurance is an important feature ot j
the automobile industry, so much so
that many persone devbte their entire
time to this phase of insurance only.
The reckless or careless driver needs
protection from himself, while the
careful and skilful driver is always in
danger from damage from the care
less or reckless man who may be at
the steering wheel of an automobile, i
Then there is the possible danger from
trolley car or train, and the possibility
of mechanlcadl imperfection or burst-'
ing tire causing the wreck of machine'
as well as injury to the person.
Among the best known insurance!
men in Harrisburg is William G. Es- 1
sick. Mr. EBSick opened insurance
offices in this city in IDOB, and is con
sidered one of the best local authori
ties on the subject of insurance. He
is an able speaker on matters pertain
ing to insurance and frequently is
called upon the deliver addresses be

' Users of Motor Trucks
Try For Fuel Economy
I In these days of the high cost of
gasoline, there are many experiments
with substitutes for the highly In
flammable fluid. In the West, espec 7
ially, lefts are being constantly made
and considerable success has been at
tained in the utilization of distillate,
the low grade and less costly product
of peroleum which motor users have
, been trying in their cars. A Western
concern states that it has been getting!
from six to seven miles per gallon with
I two three-ton trucks it now has in
service, from a mixture of one-half
