COFFIN TALKS ON FUTURE OF HI SIX 1 Predicts That Six Cylinder Can Will Displace All Fours Selling For More Than SI,OOO "The basis of the new type Hud son Six." saltl Howard E. Coftin, "is economy. People used to think the very name six-cylinder meant size, I weight, extravagance. Now we know , better. We can build a four. This is because we have lower explosive Btrulns meet. We can machine a six-throw crank shaft quite as cheaply as we used to turn out a four. It | takes no more time to bore six holes I than It does four, when we use the | new multlpje spindle drills and taps. And in the items of gasoline and fuel consumption, not to speak of lessened tire wear, the 'six' has demonstrated its supremacy over any four-cylinder car built. Yes. lam more modest in my claims than some of the six cylinder advocates, but I want to be absolutely fair to both types. 1 have built them both and know them both." "Will the "six' completely displace the 'four' in all sizes and types of cars?" Mr. Coffin was asked. "Yes and no," the great engineer replied. "But in cars at a price about 51,000 I can see no hope for the sur vival of the four. The six-cylinder even now dominates the Held over $1,500. It is a repetition of the way in which the 'four' swept the boards of twos and ones when lirst the low priced four was built. Twos and ones went out of use almost over night. Fours are mechanically less efficient! and more costly to maintain than ■ sixes. And the whole history of ma chinery tells us that the better type machine inevitably drives out the less efficient. When a buyer can get a six at *1.750, for example, why should he pay SI,BOO for a four? When the six Is lighter weight, handsomer, uses less gasoline, is easier on tires, costs less for repair, and is very many times more pleasant and comfortable to drive, what is the sense of even eon sldertng the four? Yes. I designed many fours. But we all grow and progress. Arid new things are con stantly being discovered and old ones improved. I see no reason whv we should stand still. If a better motor than a six-cylinder is evolved it will as surely drive out the six-cylinder type as this model is driving out the four. How far distant that day may be, no man knows. But now the six is supreme." [ Mexican "War Measure" Favors the Saxon Cars Buying automobiles by the pound is the way they are doing it in Mexico these days. And thereby hangs a tale. The Mexican government in its des peration to get out of the throes of financial stringency, is levying a duty of fifty cents a pound on all motor cars that are imported. Everv make ' of car is being hit by this duty/the big cars keing the greatest sufferers. There is one automobile that is get ting off easier than any other, and it is the Saxon, which weighs slightly more than 1,000 pounds. A few days ago the Saxon dealer in Mexico City wired to the Detroit factory as fol lows: 'Send us all the cars you can as fast as you can supply them." . A letter followed explaining that the Saxon being the lightest on the market, less import duty is charged than for any other cars. The agent added that he had given up hopes of selling the larger cars he handles until the excessive duty is cut. It is announced by President H. W. Ford of the Saxon Motor Com pany that the high water mark of March shipments was reached with a record of 36 cars shipped in a day. The output for the last week in March was 187 cars. Good Mileage From the Miller New Tread Band We have just heard of some re markable mileage made by The Mil ler Rubber Company's new tread band. A short time ago we made an announcement in these columns of the mechanical design and special fea tures of The Miller retread band con struction. So that this quotation will substantiate the remarks. "I got nearly, if not quite seven thousand miles before I turned in the old car and got a new one, and those bloom ing tires not worn out yet," says F\ D. Blessing of Hummelstown, Pa., wh had his tires retreaded by The Miller Rubber Company's Harrisburg Pa. agency, the Sterling Auto Tire Co. This band is evidently gaining much headway. CAN'T STAND CLOCK'S DIN Dr. G. W. Milton, of Cairo, Egypt, writes a Detroit friend that he has had to remove the auto clock he had fitted to his Studebaker "Four." He alleges that the ticking disturbed the quiet which he had enjoyed touring in the car, prior to the clock's ap pearance. HELP TOURISTS AND EACH New England Studebaker dealers have banded into a formal association to promote mutual welfare and to pro vide systematic service for the owners of Studebaker cars who tour the re gion in the summer. Joseph S. Dono van, Studebaker distributor in Boston, is president. N Lowest Prices!

AS AIDJNCAB SALE Mitchell Co. Says Its Dealers Will Put Demonstrators at Service of Interested Critics Dy E. G. WESTI.AKE "Personal touch" and "personal ex- Serience" are two features that the iitchell-Lewis Motor Company leaders | emphasize In their publicity, making a . statement that any Mitchell dealer in i any part of the world will turn his demonstrator over to the prospect for I the mere asking, with permission to ! put the machine through any test the i interested critic may suggest.

Men who mean business in the auto world—men who are interest ed enough to study cars and get per sonal experience in their operation are not going to deceive dealers who own demonstrators and pay for run ning them. •'Almost daily I get letters from Mitchell dealers in all parts of the country complimenting the Mitchell- Lewis company on this phase of ex ploitation and lauding the plan to give over demonstrators to prospects. They say that the execution of this idea brings sales that no other plan can bring. There's nothing like a close personal knowledge of the 'feel of the car, and there's nothing that tills a dealer with so much elation as to have a critic admit that the car has done more than the seller of cars claimed for .'

The same holds good on my 1914 Mitchell." High Water Mark in Reo Production and Sales A trip through the Reo factories at this period discloses activities such as have never been witnessed before in the history of the Reo—either at the Truck plant or at the Pleasure Car factory. The demand for Reo cars and Hrucks keeps the Pleasure Car and Iruck factories in a continual riv alry; this also applies to the Pleasure car and Truck Sales Departments. And rivalry exists between the sales and factory organizations—the sales men to sell faster than the factory pro duces, and the factory trying to get a hundred or two ahead of the sales men. Last year at this time 40 Reo cars was the limit of production. \\ ith the additional buildings, and the factory facilities that were added last Fall, the production has been in creased to 65 a day, which is the daily average. There have been many busy days lately when the shipments have run up to 115 cars per day. Not infrequently during the past few weeks have orders been tele graphed and mailed to the number of 225 cars or more a day. This indi cates a glowing tribute to the popu larity of Reo the Fifth. The orders I now coming in to the factory are not by a large majority the greatest in dication of general prosperity, for there are over 2,000 orders already on the books for April delivery. An immense amount of new ma chinery was installed last fall which greatly increased the manufacturing facilities, and a man even remotely familiar with manufacturing, wouid be impressed with the wonderful la bor-saving devices which lend their mechanical brains to producing ac curately and in large quantities in the Reo factories. One large building was added to the Reo factory for storing ears, but that building has been as empty as a furnished apartment in a plague infected city. This building was erected without giving full considera tion to the popularity of the car and the ability of the sales organization 1 to place the cars as fast as they were turned out. The Truck end of the Reo business has been hit with the same wave of popularity and the factory is work ing full capacity, and then some, to fill orders on the now famous Model J. It is a safe predication that the Reo Truck business will be double that or last year. All in all, everybody is happy— 1 heads of departments are busier than ever before, and the employes are sharing the satisfaction thut goes with ' a busy organization. Hupp Makes Triumphant Run' of 2,000 Miles in Louisiana A 2,000-mile trip over Louisiana, the most extensixer of its character ever made in that state, was ended last week when Fred Perkins, Manager of the Capital City Auto Co., Baton Rouge, La., and J. A. Garrity, travel ing salesman of the Hupp Motor Car Company, returned to that city in a Hupmobile. The trip was the result of a wager which Mr. Perkins had with the man ager of the Grand Hotel at Baton Rouge. The boniface, Mr. Grant, in the course of a conversation with Mr. Perkins, stated that he did not be lieve there was a car on the market to-day that could negotiate the mud roads of Louisiana. Mr. Perkins de clared that the Hupmobile could do it and, what was more, he would leave the city with a "32" 1914 model with the hood, crank and battery box sealed, travel 2,000 miles and return with the seals intact. Accordingly he had a special glass hood made for the car which was sealed by Mayor Grouchy of Baton Rouge, and he left In the teeth of a hard snew storm that extended all through Louisiana. The contestants made the trip over the worst roads Louisiana has known for some time, driving from Baton Rouge to Lake Charles as far north as Shreveport, as far east as Mander vllle, and as far south as New Or leans, a total of'over 2.000 miles. On his return ot Baton Rouge, Mr. Per kins was met by Mayor Grouchy and a committee of citizens at the out skirts of the State capital and escorted to the city hall where there were speeches and a general jollification. "My Hupmobile acted splendidly," Bald Mr. Perkins, "We didn't have to touch a thing on the trip, and ail in all the car was In just as good con dition as before we left on this gruel ling tour."
