CHJUIDIER LI6HT SIX
HIRED BY MANY
First Demonstrator Sold by An
drew Redmond Almost as Soon
as Agency Was Placed
George P. Parker, representing the
Chandler Motor Car Company, of Phil
adelphia was at the Andrew Redmond
automobile salesroom this week In
troducing the new Chandler "Light
Six" to the people of Harrisburg and
vicinity The results were exception
ally gratifying as Mr. Redmond re
ports the sale of the first car which was
brought here from Philadelphia.
The Chandler light-weight six sells
for $1785, fully equipped. It weights
2885 pounds completely equipped. The
manufacturers claim sixteen miles per
gallon of gasoline and seven hundred
miles per gallon of oil, and seven
thousand miles average on a set of
tires are among the strong features
claimed for this handsome six-cylinder
motor car. The speed range Is from
three to fifty-five miles per hour with
out change of gears. The car is dis
tinguished by the beauty of its steam
line body design.
The exclusive Chandler motor is
among the finest American types em
bodying the long stroke principle. The
well-known Westlnghouse Separate
Unit Starting and lighting System is
among the high-grade features in the
Chandler. The simple single wire sys
tem is used for lighting, with wires
running through armored conduit.
Other strong features found on lead
ing high-price sixes include Bosch
magneto for ignition; Imported annular
ball bearings; large gasoline tank in
rear; Mayo genuine Mercedes type
honeycomb radiator; true stream-line
body design; no dash; no projections;
crowned fenders; clean running boards;
no side lamps; double globes In front
lights: cast aluminum motor base ex
tending from frame to frame; oiling
system all contained within the motor;
left side drive and center control; mul
tiple disc steel nnd raybestos clutch;
Firestone demountable detachable rims;
Stromberpr carburetor; double enclos
ed brake drums; triangle section
torsion rod; deep ten and twelve-inch
cushions.
The men who build the Chandler
hand been building the highest grade
high-priced sixes in America for six
years before they designed the
Chandler, and Mr. Redmond feels con
fident that it will prove popular as a
seller among- those who want a six
cylinder ear with high-grade features
selling below the two thousand-dollar
figure.
Horse-Drawn Fire
Apparatus Now Motorized
The city of Toledo, Ohio, has begun
the reorganization of its fire depart
ment. the ultimate object being to
eliminate the horse in this class of
municipal work. The first step was
taken recently when the city gave the
Willys-Overland company an order for
a special Willys Utility chassis, to
which the body equipment of a horse
draw fire wagon was transferred. The
new fire-fighting vehicle is now a mo
tor-driven combination chemical and
hose wagon, equipped with electric
lights all around, special pneumatic
tires, siren horn, push pedal gong
and other standard equipment.
The reconstruction of the apparatus
was accomplished at a comparatively
small cost, the sale of the horses and
equipment formerly necessary almost
equaling the price of the work. The
new vehicle has already made several
runs and city officials who have
watched its performance closely are
delighted with its speed and efficiency.

ESSENTIIIL HINTS IN
LEMMING TO DRIVE
George McFarland Reviews Neces
sary Precautions and Qualifications
Required at the Wheel
"Foresight, correct judgment and
self-control are essential qualifications
which the motor car driver should at
tain," said George F. McFarland,
president and general manager of the
Harrisburg Automobile Company, dis
tributors for the Hayes, America's first
car, in this territory.
"If you feel that you lack self-con
fldence it is well to have some one
teach you to drive step by step. In
the first place, don't expect or even
try to learn everything at once. Have
your instructor take the car to some
unfrequented street and then, while he
controls the throttle, learn to steer
while moving along slowly in high
gear.
"Hold the wheel firmly but not too
tight. Don't try to go in an absolutely
straight line; turn the wheel slightly
and see for yourself how sensitive it Is
by trying to dodge small objects in the
road. tty practicing in mis manner
for sometime you will wear orr tne
nervous feeling and will be surprised
at the ease with which a big, powerful
car may be steered.
"The next step is learning to ma
nipulate the clutch and the gears. Shut
ott the motor and with the car stand
ing still go through the operation of
changing gears time and time again,
rot?*" though the car were running
Then, after starting the motor, throw
out the clutch pedal, shift the hand
ever into first speed position and re
lease tho clutch pedal very slowly
?i. your instructor operates the
thiottle. Repeat this over and over
again, see how slow*ly you can start
and stop the car before ever attempt
ing to go into the higher speeds.
Always exercise great care in shift
ing gears with a handshift lever. Be
sure that the clutch pedal is in its
downmost position before moving the
lever. On the other hand, when going
trom one speed to another don't wait
too long as the car will lose its mo
mentum.

Attention to Detail a
Feature in Chalmers Cars
An automobile manufacturer never
can tell just whet detail of his car
may make it popular or otherwise
with some fastidious buyers. Some
times it is color, sometimes the style
of the door handles or some other itl
tle thing. Here's a case where a pur
chaser was chiefly influenced in favor
of his car by iron.
One of the most enthusiastic Chal
mers "Six" boosters is Charles Kellie,
owner of one of the biggest foundries
on the Pacific coast. Before buying
his car, Mr, Kellie studied many dif
ferent makes. And because he is a
foundryman, the point that recom
mended the Chalmers to him over all
other makes was the excellence of the
castings used.
"The castings used in Chalmers
cars, ' says Mr. Kellie, "are excellent.
Naturally this feature appealed to me
very strongly. It was the chief rea
son why I bought a Chalmers 'Six.' "
In Dallas a salesman was trying to
sell a Chalmers to a man who was a
stickler for details. He had examined
many cars but was still undecided. As
a final argument the salesman was
telling him how painstaking cars are
built in the Chalmers factory
"Why just look at these screw
heads," said the salesman. "Everyone
is turned the same way. There's at
tention to detail for you." The cus
tomer examined every visible screw
head and when he found them actually
all in line, bought the car.
! In New York a great many cars—
especially limousines—are sold with
special upholstery in the favorite color
of the purchaser. A Chalmefs dealer
in a large eastern city sold one car
with four seats of fancy seat covers
to match the gownn of a prominent
society woman.
During the past season a great
many Chalmers "Sixes" have been
sold because the motor is so vibration
less that a lead pencil can be bal
anced on the cylinders while the mo
tor is running at high speed. And
the Chicago dealer sold in one day,
two Chalmers "Sixes" simply because
the doors are wide enough to admit
comfortably an extremely fat person.
Special Colors Predominate
on High Grade Automobiles
According to Edward P. Gerber
president of the Abbott Motor Car
Company, Detroit, Mich., this company
is finishing at least one-half of its out
put in fancy colors.
Touring cars and roadsters in both
six and four-cylinder models are be
ing turned out daily in Violet Purple
Lake. Napier Green, Golden Brown,
French Carmine, Town Car Blue, as
well as the standard black.
. The demand for fancy colors seems
to be unusually insistent this Spring,
which is probably occasioned by the
use of special colors on all of the high
priced foreign cars. Without hardly
an exception every foreign car is be
ing finished in some special shade,
principally those above mentioned.
This new demand is causing auto
mobile factories much extra work. It
means carrying three or four stocks
of bodies and in addition to this it
takes considerably longer period of
time to finish a body in special color
than in standard black.
However, the results attained are of
such unusual attractiveness that a
large number of the higher priced
concerns are glad to furnish special
colors, although the medium and
cheaper cars find the cost prohibitive
and are obliged to refuse all orders of
this kind
I Superiority Counts
! And that is why, every ABBOTT car sold sells several more. They stand
to-day ahead of any car selling within five hundred dollars of their price.
MECHANICALLY, they equal any and EXCEL many.
They are HATED by COMPETITORS and GREATLY ADMIRED by
their users. This alone is ample evidence of their STERLING worth.
Financial Standing
A controlling interest in this company was recently purchased by a Pitts
burgh millionaire. This is our strongest pledge to ABBOTT users that this great
line will meet future expectations in a financial way—in every way.
The Abbott Motor Car Company is clear of all debt. It owes NOT A DOL
LAR, except for current merchandise accounts. Against it there are outstanding
! NO BONDS, NOTES OR MORTGAGES. There is no watered stocks upon
which dividends must be paid. '
Every dollar of car cost contributes to car quality. We have no tribute to pay
tothe mistakes of the past nor to the radical experiments of the present.
APPRECIATR, THIS! Write us for our financial statement.
This will prove to you conclusively that the Abbott Company is one in which
you can have implicit confidence.
