ELECTRIC AUTOS
SI POPUITY
Comfort, Convenience and Luxury
Combined in Noiselessly
Running Car
The electric automobile is one of
the ideal society cars and is rapidly
coming into its own In all American
cities. The design and furnishings of
the modern electric put In a class of
luxurious comfort almost by itself, as
there Is nothing spared to make it the
most comfortable conveyance extant.
The materials are strictly of the best
and strongest for many reasons. First,
they are better and more durable, and
second they have to be to get strength
required ip the lightest possible form.
The machinery of the electric is the
simplest possible combination of es
sentials only. Tho chassis is made of
the required frame supported in axles
and wheels by springs, and having a
platform for the storage battery, mo
tor and body. The battery is securely
placed on its platform and has no
movable part to adjust or bother with
during operation, and only the caps
of the jars are removable to fill them
with water when necessary.
The Machinery
The motor Is hung in its cradle and
its motor is the only moving part in
the entire power plant and its motion
is entirely rotary, not reciprocating,
and moves therefore without the
slightest noise, jar or vibration.
The power plant has two roller or
ball bearings, one at each end of the
motor shaft, that takes all the wear
of the entire plant, and their bearings
last for years in practice.
There are absolutely no high speed
vibrating, noisy, wearing, small parts
in the electric automobile. Let us
compare a four-cylinder gas engine
running at 1,200 revolutions per min-

R' ECENTLY an Electric carrying
four passengers, ran from Los An
ggsgj geles to San Diego in 13 hours—l4o
ll *' miles of rough, hilly country.
In Boston, an Electric was driven to North
Attleboro and back, then for 18 miles
through the city going up Beacon Hill
after traveling 91 miles. The first 75 miles
of the total of 95.5 miles were made at a
speed of 21.5 miles per hour..
An Electric Roadster went from New York
to Boston a 251 mile run in 12 hours
and 15 minutes and the travel was over
hilly country with many muddy detours.
Such unusual performances are proof posi
tive that the Electric of to-day has speed and"

ute and our electric motor running at
the same and the usual speed.
The pistons of the engine make
9,600 oscillations per minute, dragging
16 packing rings in a rubbing contact
over 768,000 square inches, or 445
square feet of metal surface. Think
of the lubrication necessary and the
power lost at this point alone.
No Friction
In addition to this enormous sourca
of friction, loss of power and con
sumption of lubricating material must
bo added the wearing friction and lu
brication of tho many accompanying
stems, and actuating levers, and all
moving reciprocally in the manner to
create the great possible jar and vi
bration.
Compared with this the electric
motor has only one heavy armature
or rotor, operating through two ball
or roller bearings. There is absolutely
no friction of any parts except four
carbon brushes on the commutator,
the friction of which is practically
negligible on account of the materials
used, carbon against copper. To prove
the friction and wear from this con
tact is almost nothing is the fact that
the great majority of electric motor
commutators run under these condi
tions for months without wearing
enough to warrant even the renewal
of the carbon brushes.
The operation and control of this
power plant is as simple as the plant
itself. There are no adjustments to
the battery, no gears to shift, no
sparks to play with or gases to com
bine or explode. Complete control
consists of simply letting the desired
amount of electricity flow from the
battery through the motor, and is
done by the movement of one single
lever, forward to go forward, and
back to stop.
The steering is done by another
lever or wheel as desired and speeds
are controlled by the usual pedal or
electric brakes, or a combination of
both.
The Cleanest Machine
This stmpllcty, combined with the
advances made in the manufacture of
the latest types of storage batteries,
some of which are guaranteed for four
years' service without restrictions as
to number of charges or mileage vised,
others guaranteed for 8,000 to 10,000
miles with reasonable charges for the
renewal of wornout elements and any
of them when properly proportioned
to the car they propel capable of going
from 50 to 75 mile's on a single charge
of battery over the roads in and about
Worcester, makes the Electric automo
bile a wonderfully efficient and reliable
machine for all purposes within its
sphere of usefulness.
The electric automobile is one of the
cleanest machines to operate and care
for and most of those owned in Wor
cester are kept in private garages at
or near the home. Many are charged
and operated by the women of the
household.

PARTIN-PALMER AT
UNIVERSAL GARAGE
Demonstration of Car Well Known
; Throughout West Expected
Within a Week or Two
The Universal Garage at 1826 Wood
street has assumed the agency for the
Partln-Palmer care. This garage Is
under the management of C. H. Mauk,
and S. H. Daddow, of St. Clair, Pa
was in Harrlsburg yesterday to CIOBA
negotiations.
The Partln-Palmer "38" Is the prod
uct of the Partin Manufacturing Com
pany, of Chicago, 111., a concern which
[results from the consolidation of the
Partin Manufacturing Company, of
Chicago, and the Palmer Motor Car
Company, of Detroit, Mich. The offi
cials are men who have helped to
solve some of the big problems of the
industry and who understand most
thoroughly the fundamental principles
which determine the success of a car.
The factory, located in Detroit, la
splendidly equipped and well able to
meet the steady increasing demand for
this new product.
To the man who understands auto
mobile construction, the Partln-Pal
mer "38" is an interesting study. The
power plant is the famous Mason
Motor, one of the most efilciont and
highest priced on the market, design
ed by A. C. Mason, of Flint, Mich.,
who designed the Buick Motor. His
twenty years of practical experience
in designing motors for gasoline pres
sure cars, his experiments In the gas
engine field, combined with his knowl
edge of present day demandß, have all
contributed their share toward help
ing him to design a motor which rep
resents his masterpiece.
The motor is of the overhead valve
type, with cylinders cast en bloc, and
develops full 38-horsepower. It pos
sesses all the advantages of the over
head type and its Improved construc
tion eliminates all disadvantages such
as leaky cages, valve troubles and ex
cessive noise. Mr. Mason's idea of re
moving entirely the valve cages lias
proven practical and satisfactory.
The Partin-Palmer "38" is a six
iwsenger oar, roomy, comfortable and
powerful, with 115-inch wheel base.
It contains the accepted features
which have played a prominent part
in the progress of the industry and In
connection many exclusive and ori
ginal ideas. After a careful Inspection
of the Partin-Palmer "38" it becomes
evident that it represents a marked
advance In modern motor car build
ing. r
The Philadelphia territory, in fact
Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, will
he handled by the Colonial Motor Cav
Company, 330 North Broad street, of
which L, 13. French, a man well known
in the local automobile industry, is
president.
Mr. French in a recent trip West
realized at a glance the excellent value
offered in the Ptirtln-Palmer "38" and
knowing the big demand in the East
ern territory for such a car, wasted no
time in completing his arrangements
to handle it.
The Partin-Palmer "38" will occupy
Booth 44 at the local automobile show
this coining week.
they have the Model 36, four cylinder
machine, either in the three-passenger
sociable or five-passenger touring car.
This car has been brought out also as
a cabriolet, which is a convertible car
for summer or winter, as the top folds
back into small compass at the rear,
and the side windows also the door
windows slide into the body which
makes a very compact machine for
the business man or professional man.
The Oakland branch of Philadelphia
is in charge of Ted Johnston, who is
known for maintaining an especially
fine service station, both at Philadel
phia and throughout the adjacent ter
ritory.
liCONOMY OF FUEL
It is not the amount of gasoline that
determines the amount of power to be
derived from a given sized cylinder. It
is the amount that can be changed into
a Vapor and be mixed with air to a.
proper degree before ignition. In win
jter much gasoline is wasted by being
I carried as liquid into the cylinders.
I Such material burns very slowly com-
I pared to the proper mixture, and
' leaves much of the carbon deposited
lin the combustion chambers. This is
not economy.
