Not a Cyclecar. Standard Tread ■
The Car of Widest Usefulness
There's no limit to the usefulness of the Saxon.
It's the car for everybody. It's just the car for:
1. Salesmen, contractors, real estate men. For them the
Saxon is a saving in time and money; a means of covering more
ground and getting more business.
2. Physicians. New York physicians are finding it possible
to make more calls in their Saxons, independent of street cars,
than they could make before.
3. Public Service Corporations. Gas, electric light, telephone
companies are employing Saxons to enable their employes to get
around quickly and economically—more so than in any other
car.
4. Caterers, grocers, decorators, farmers. The Saxon dou
bles the value of their time.
5. Those who already own a big car. Much of their season's
driving may be done in the Saxon.
6. Those with the family spending the Summer in the
country. The Saxon can be employed in running back and
forth to the station, to the country club, or in a dozen other
ways.
7. Those who don't want to pay an extravagant price for
a car. In a Saxon two people can enjoy all the health and pleas
ure of driving that you get in a $1,500 or $2,000 car.

HIinETY HUPMOBILES
SHIPPED EACH MY
This Was the April Average at
the Hupp Motor Car Com
pany's Factory
During the twenty-six working davs
of April the Hupp Motor Car Com
pany's shipments of Mupmobiies rver
aged more than ninety cars a day.
The record shipping day was the 30th
of the month, when one hundred and
twenty-six cars left the factory.
"Conditions all over the country
look exceedingly bright," said F. A.
Harris, commercial manager. Mr.
Harris takes a very optimistic view
on Spring business, and states that the
Ilupmobile factories will reach record
shipments during the next two
months.
"With the advent of a few days of
favorable weather," continued Mr.
Harris, "Hupmobile sales have in
creased by leaps and bounds, and at
the present time we have more than
three thousand orders on hand, speci
fied for May delivery.
"Our manufacturing establishment
has now reached its highest point of
efficiency. During the past year Hup
mobiles have been built on the pro
gressive system. That is, every man
who works on the Hupmobile has a
certain duty. For instance, Hupmobile
employes instead of building completed
cars work only on separate assemblies
where they are particularly skilled.
One man will assemble crank shafts,
another connecting rods, another
clutches, and this system is followed
out through the completed car.
"By this method every man who
builds a Hupmobile is a specialist,
skilled in his particular line of work.
In this way we are able to reach quan
tity production and get 100 per cent,
efficiency in our manufacturing organ
ization.
"A spirit of loyalty exists in our fac
tory the like of which I have never
before experienced—and I have held
executive positions in a number of au
tomobile establishments. The employes
know that they are building 'the best
car in its class in the world' and every
workman puts forth his ablest efforts
to make it so. All this tends to the
making of a bettor car, and I know,
should the occasion arise, that our
production could be easily increased a
thousand cars per month with the ad
dition of a few more mechanics.
"Business prospects all over the
country are excellent. Our district
representatives who have carefully
analyzed conditions in their respective
territories find an active increase in
the motor car trade in general, and
from this, I believe we can reasonably
expect that the volume of business for
the coming months will show a
healthy increase over the correspond
ing months of last year.
"I refer particularly to cars in the
class of the Hupmobile—the car of
popular price—that gives the owner
all the requisites of the more expen
sive makes, without excess luxury.
This has been brought about through
the fact that the car buying public
know from experience that it is not
necessary to pay a high price for a
first class motor. .
"Past performances of Huptnobiles
have shown that they will stand up
with any car on the market, at a fig
ure of up-keep cost that is remark
ably lower than any other car selling
at anywhere near the price of the
Hupmobile."
JEFFEffIf WEEK II
WEST Ei GARAGE
Special Arrangements For Making
the Merits of Jeffery Motor
Cars Still Better Known
The coming week is Jeffery week at
the West End Garage. 100S Logan
street, and the entire sales and me
chanical force will concentrate their
efforts in making the desirable finali
ties of the Jeffery better known to the
prospective motor car buyer. The
Jeffery cars aro made by one of the
best known manufacturing concerns in
the country, the Thomas B. Jeffery
Company, of Kenosha, Wis. In speak
ing of the specifications of the Jeffery
product J. H. Hill, designer of the
Jeffery cars, said:
"A great many of the specilications
in Jeffery Fours and Sixes character
ize cars of at least three times the
cost. For instance, we use the Ray
field water-jacketed carburetor, which
is the highest priced carburetor that
the Rayfield people make. Wc use
also the most expensive light system
thta we can buy; the most expensive
magneto system and the most eilicient
axle that wo have been able to lind.
In fact, every piece of material that
goes into the Jeffery Four is consid
erably lighter and just a little stronger
than that which goes into another car.
"We are trying to build a car for
five people and to carry these five peo
ple as comfortably as any car made in
the world. We have accomplished this.
We have plenty of room in the body,
which, by the way, is of the famous
Rothschild type, not the streamline,
out Ibe Rothschild typo which made
the sensation of the Paris show and
which we alone, exclusive of all other
motor car manufacturers, are showing
this year in New York. The Jeffery
Four has more distinctiveness, more
real stamina, than cars weighing twice
as much and costing four times the
price.
"1 can't believe that it would have
been possible for us to produce a more
efficient car."
The West End Garage are repre
sentatives for Dauphin and Cumber
land counties and have placed a great
many of the Jeffery pleasure cars and
trucks in this territory since assuming
the agency.
PALACE THEATER
At the Palace, Monday, a Victor 2-
reel drama, "As Fate Willed," will be
shown.
In the lexicon of love there is no
such word as eugenjes. The prince
marries the rag picker's daughter for
love and the society belle elopes with
the publicity man for the same reason.
And that, in a way, is what happens
in this drama, produced by Joseph De
Grasse and featuring Jack Kerrigan
and Vera Sisson, Victor stars. It is
a genuine romance where a young i
handsome and wealthy fellow Is won
by the daughter of an ex-convict
against a beautiful, cultured society
belle.
Edwin August and Edna Maison will
also be featured In a 101 Bison 2-reel
drama, "Old California."
Bobert Thornby, one of the four who
created such a stir in the motion pic
turo world by coming over to the Uni
versal recently, is the directtor and au
thor of the gripping, romantic film
drama. Laid in California at the time
when the old Spanish grandee paraded
in all his finery, the tale abounds in
picturesqueness, in romance, sentiment
and gripping adventure common to
those days.
A Dragon drama, "Memories of the
Past," will also be shown. Vivian
Prescott and Charlie De Forrest will
conclude the bill in a Crystal comedy
"Carlle and a Dog." This is heralded
as a screamingly funny and amusing
fart* comedy, fairly teeming with
aroußln* »ituat|ooi. mm Advertisement,

EXCELS! 10 OPEN
HITHER STORE
Local Sales Agency For Excelsior
and Haverford Motorcycles Will
Have Branch in Steelton
Although it is but three mouths ago
since the Excelsior Cycle Company
opened a motorcycle and bicycle storo
at 1007 and 1009 North Third street,
arrangements have been made to open
another store at 126 North Front
street, Steelton. A complete stock of
the Excelsior and Haverford motor
cycles and Dayton, Hudson and Le
nawoa bicycles. A specialty of repair
work will also be a feature of the
Steelton store.
The Steelton store will be under the
same management as the Harrisburg
store. Nat Feldstern and Harry Feld
stern, two brothers, came here to rep
resent these well-known makes of
wheels and have received such encour
aging response to their efforts that
they felt justified in opening the soc
ond store to care for their increasing
business.
Heavy Cars Make Best
Record in Tire Mileage
The fact that the relation of weight
to upkeep and maintenance is some
times distorted in the public mind is
clearly evidenced in the list of prize
winners announced by the AJax-Qrleb
Rubber company who distributed
$5,000 to motor drivers showing the
highest mileage, starting' April 1912,
and ending last month, on Ajax tires.
Fifteen prizes were awarded and the
first three, who pulled down the big
money—ssoo, S3OO and S2O0 —are all
drivers of cars which are not placed
in the light weight class. The three
winning cars and their mileage rec
ords were a Locomobile owned in
Marlboro, Mass., which rolled up the
high score of 16,782 miles; a Pack
ard owned in Detroit, 13.900 miles and
a Cadillac, owned in Victoria, B. C.,
13,761 miles.
Light cars were entered and oc
casionally appear in the list of win
ners—but not up at the top. The re
sult of the contest therefore seems to
show that the fiuestion, "How much j
should a car weigh?" while a nice one,
does not bear the same relation, al
ways to maintenance and upkeep as
Is popularly supposed. Six thousand
miles is generally considered a pretty
good record for a tire, but yet the
Cadillac, third prize winner, made
considerably more than twice that
number of miles in a rough countrv.
