Shows 1914 Models
The Ensminger Auto Shew Is now
to full swing, three afternoons and
three evening* having been devoted
to exhibiting the pleasure cars and
trucks to scores of persona who have
called to see the display. "We are
meeting with gratifying success," said
Mr. Ensminger yesterday. "We have
booked more orders and made more
territorial contracts so # far than we
did during the first three days of last
year's show. Our line this year con
sists of the Ohio, Apperson and Mit
chell pleasure cars and Dart trucks,
modelß of all of which we have on
exhibition. We are wholesale distribu
tors for the Ohio in Eastern Pennsyl
vania and deal direct with the Cres
cent Motor Company, the manufac
turer of Ohio cars, and are therefore
in a position where we Can make ex
ceptionally good contracts with indi
viduals for one car only."
The Ohio car comes in two models,
a "Six," which is called the Royal, and
a "Four," called the Ohio. The Royal
to a six-cylinder, six-passenger car
with a Lancia body, and Is an exact
oounterpart of the famous Italian car
that bears that name. I,t has on ap
pearance of slenderness without being
slender. It, as well as the "Four," is
equipped with the famous Northway
T-head motor, with power plant, full
floating rear axle, Baker demountable
rims, silk mohair top, improved Jiffy
curtains, and full electrical equipment
which includes, light, starter and horn.
The slogan of the Ohio is: Appearance,
Power and Easy Riding Qualities, and
certainly the Ohio has all these, botn
In the six as well as the four, the lat
ter selling for tlie very low price of
$1,275.
The Apperson. line consists of a five
passenger "Six" and a five-passenger
"Four," both being medium-priced
cars, and both, of course, not only
electrically equipped, with lights,
starter and horn, but all the other
modern improvements which make for
comfort in driving one's own car. The
Apperson is far-famed as the "Jack
Rabbit,' and its appearance easily
bears out this appellation, as it has an
extreme streamline body and creates
the Impression of being a flyer. The
Apperson cars have always been noted
for their speed and durability. This
Is the sixteenth year the cars have been
on the market and this year's models
easily uphold their well deserved repu
tation. The Apperson Bros. Motor
Company were the builders of the
first American automobile, which is
now on exhibition in the Smithsonian
Institute at Washington. Alfred
Toung, factory representative, has
charge of the Apperson exhibit.
The Mitchell exhibit Is In charge
of W. A. Walton, the representative
of the Mitchell-Lewis Company, of Ra
cine, Wis. The Mitchell car is so well
known in Harrisburg that little com
ment is necessary to inform the public
of its worth, as its greatest advertise

which are giving perfect satisfaction
to their owners. "Miles for dollars,
said Mr. Walton; "that's what we sell.
In the last analysis the man who starts
out to buy an automobile is really
actuated by a desire to buy mileage.
Therefore the car that will gi\e him
the greatest number of miles for tho
least number of dollars is the most.

"of a Mitchell car down in Florida I
that has 125,000 miles to Its credit, and )
this mileage was made in Florida,
where the roads are notoriously bad.
But that is nothing unusual for a Mit
chell car, as we have records of a
number of Mitchells with 100,000
miles to their credit. In fact there is
a Mitchell car right here in Harris
burg owned by a man named Saltz-
, giver which has bfen run over 80,000
miles, so you see we are justified in
claiming to give a greater number of
miles for a less number of dollars than
any other American car."

UNRENEWABLE PATENT

case before a country Justice.
"Who are you, anyway?" demanded
the Justice.
"Well," replied the lawyer, 'Tm an
attorney."
"P'raps you are, but X never heard
one talk like you do. What kind of a
one are you?"
"I'm a patent attorney."
The magistrate rubbed his chin in
thought. "Well, all I've got to say ts,"

"Every year witnessed some mark

"In all these advances, the Haynes
car has either been the pioneer or
abreast of every Important Improve

"The fact that Mr. Moore, in his ma
