SATURDAY EVENING,
cessfully used in a speeding automo
bile.
Yet that is precisely what was done
in logging the route of a run of 122
miles near St. Louis, Mo. In this in
, stance the dictaphone took the place
• of the laborious writing of notes bear
, Ing on landmarks, dangerous eross
. ings, grades, sharp turns, etc.
After several trials, and before the
. pathlinding run was actually begun, it
was found that the 1914 Cadillac was;
best fitted to carry the dictaphone and
permit of Its use while under way. The
Instrument was placed in the tonneau
und the notemaker sat in front beside
the driver, the tube from dlstaphone
being carried over his shoulder. The
practicality of the Cadillac two-speed
, axle in promoting smoothness and
steadiness in running was admirably
demonstrated on the trip, and al
though the dictaphone was In constant
use while the car was running, not a, I
single record was marred by vibration.
For the purpose of route-making
this experiment proved that the dicta
phone is far superior to the ordinary
method of making written notes, for
the record is complete and clear, prac
tically because of the difficulty of
writing legibly or rapidly in a moving
automobile.

JACKSON CARS NOW
HAVE LOCAL AGENCY
Two Models Here; Electric Crank
ing and Lighting Device;
Graceful in Appearance
The Jackson cars are not new to this
territory as there are a great many of
them in use throughout this vicinity,
but the 1914 models come here this
year With the newest in approved au
tomobile engineering.
"No hill too steep—no sand too
deep," is the slogan by which these
cars are known, and the Jackson has
the reputation of being one of the
most sturdy cars in its class.
The Jackson automobile agency has
been assumed by P. H. Kedoch and
DeWitt A. Fry, with headquarters at
334 Chestnut street, in the Central
Garage. Two models, the Olympic
"forty" and the Sultanic "Six" are
now on display at the salesroom.
Eleven years of increasing success
have established the Jackson com
pany's reputation. The reputation of
Jackson cars is established on the
firm foundation of eleven years of ser
vice to automobile owners.
The most significant fact is this—
that the company is owned, controlled
and managed to-day by the same men
who started it eleven years ago. All
their interests and ideals are centered
on this one thing; to maintuin the
Jackson reputation is their constant
aim.
The men who have built up and
maintained this splendid reputation
are to-day building the 1914 Jackson
cars, and building them better,
stronger, bigger and selling them at
lower prices.
Olympic forty, $1,385, has 115-inch
wheel base and wide seats: full 40
horse power; beauty of design second
to none; full elliptic springs front and
rear tires 34x4; smooth, quiet running
closely approaching silence; electric
cranking and lighting, and completo
general equipment.
Majestic at $1,885 has long stroke
four syllnder motor,
power; electric cranking and lighting.
Wheel base 124 inches. Tires 36x4.
Full elliptic spring suspension front
and rear. Full floating rear axle,
roomy body. Wide seats, wide doors,
10-inch cushions. Completely equip
ped.
Sultanic at $2,150 has long stroke,
six cylinder motor, 55 horse power;
electric cranking. Wheel base, seven
passenger, 138 inches; five passenger,
132 inches. Tires 36x4 Full ellip
tic spring suspension front and rear.
Full floating rear axle, ball bearing
throughout. Completely equipped
Seven passenger model, $2,300.
| Saxon Shipments Sets
New Factory Records
I More records in shipments of Saxon
I cars were smashed this week when
'car-load lots of Saxons went forward
from the Detroit factory to distrlbu
j tors in eighteen leading cities In the
I country.
| Along with information to this ef
|fect, President H. W. Ford of the
Saxon Motor Company announces that
all the Saxon dealers have by now
been taken care of, those In the small
er towns having demonstrators with
the prospect of more cars shortly.
These speed records of the Saxon
Company have created as great a
sensation as was made by the first an
nouncement of this car. Automobile
men declare that there is no other in
stance on record where a manufac
turer has got under way with quantity
production so soon after a car was
| placed on the market.
| "Though we have been ahead of our
I production schedule from the start we
[don't seem able to build the cars fast
enough," says Mr. Ford. "Dealers in
all sections of the country have ap
plied by letter, by telegram and per
sonally by coming to Detroit to ask
if we couldn't double and triple their
allotment. Right now we have orders
on our books for immediate shipment
for 2,000 cars, to say nothing of blan
ket orders from many dealers to ship
as many cars as we can as fast as we
can."
Though the Saxon car was an
nounced only a few months .ago, the
estimated maximum dally output is
fast being approached. The factory
is running on a twenty-five car a day
schedule. After April 1, the Saxon
officials expect the plant to be operat
ing at capacity which is 50 cars a day.

Twin Cylinder Engines
Fashion in Motorcycles
"Just as the 'six' is the engine of
the times in autodom, so the 'twin
reigns supreme in the motorcycle
world. To-day every motorcycle
manufacturer, except two, is building
twin clinder models and the majority
are featuring them," is the strong as
sertion of the West End Electric and
Cycle Company, local distributors of
Indian Motorcycles.
"Seventy-five per cent, of the total
motorcycle output of 1913 was twins,
and this year 90 per cent, of the ma
chines produced will mount double
barreled motors. Ninety per cent, of
the 35,000 Indians built in 1913, which
constituted nearly half the total out
put, were twins, and this year 9 8 per
cent, of the 60,000 Indians to be built,
will be twins.
"The same reasons which won popu
larity for the 'sin' have made the twin
the favorite among motorcyclists.
More frequent impulses reduce vibra
] tion and produce smoother running
and increased riding comfort. More
power and speed are obtained with a
twin, which, despite its higher horse
power, yet 1s easily handled in the
most congested traffic because of its
] flexibility and quick pick-up.
"A twin consumes no more gasoline
and oil than any other type of engine
of equal piston diplacement regard
less of the number of cylinders. In
fact, a twin is very economical to op
erate because the smoother running
and negligible vibration mean longer
! life to the mechanism and less fre
iquent replacements. It is not gener
ally known that the Indian twin was
'the first successful twin motorcycle en
gine built, and now is in its eighth
year without radical change. It has
been gradually refined and developed
to its present wonderful efficiency
while many of the features which it
introduced now are standard practice.
"1914 will be a twin year because
experienced riders know its merits
and new buyers are being won to the
twin by the convincing advertising
and investigation."

"There are different types of motors
