Saxon Coast to Coast Car
Reaches Western lowa
The following dispatch just received
from Boone, lowa, is the latest word
' from the coast-to-coast Saxon cfcr
which is christening the Lincoln High
way:
"Saxon Lincoln Highway car ar
rived in Boone from Cedar Rapids.
Distance 143 miles. Weather and
roads very good. Car in good shape."
In reaching this stage of its trip
from New York to San Francisco, this
car has covered 1292 miles over the
Lincoln way in eleven days of run
ning time. The machine has averaged
better than 117 miles a day, and is
making close to 30 miles on a gallon
! of gasoline.
Two days of almost continuous rain
jin western Illinois and Eastern lowa
j did not interfere with the progress of
! the transcontinental car which has
I been on schedule at every checking-in
; point. According to M. A. Croker and
i Fred Wilkins, who are in charge, no
time has been lost because of repairs.
} A big reception awaited the expe
dition at Chicago Heights, 111., an es
j cort party going out from Chicago to
meet the car and crew. At this point
j the transcontinental Saxon was driven
to Chicago, over what later will be a
I branch route of the Lincoln Highway.
I After an ovation in Chicago, the ma-
I chine went back on the Lincoln way
I and resumed its course westward.
Demonstrations by consuls of the
Lincoln Highway Association have
j been given along the route for this car,

OVEfIUND SIX WILL
SOOH BE ON MARKET
Wheelbase 125 Inches; 45-50
Horsepower; Streamline Body;
Will Sell at $1,475
An announcement of more than
usual interest to tMe general automo
bile Jrade and the public, but more
particularly to the many dealers who
handle Overland cars, has just come
from J. N. Willys, president of the
Willyiß-Overland Company.
So quietly that even the intimates
have had no inkling of Mr. Willys'
plans. Overland engineers have for
the past season been developing and
testing a new, seven-pnssengcr Over
land which in points of value, equip
ment and price, bids fair to outclass
anything that has been offered hereto
fore or will be offered in such surpass
ing measure for some time to come.
In spite of the production of 50,000
cars, this year, tho demand for Over
land cars, it is said, has been so great
during the season just drawing to a
close that the principal difficulty of
the dealer has been to obtain a plenti
ful supply of Overlands.
As announced sometime ago, Mr.
Willys will materially increase his pro
duction of four-cylinder models for
1915, while the new six-cylinder Over
land, whose preparation has been so
carefully guarded, will, for one thing,
serve the purpose of giving Overland
dealers a line of cars so complete and
inclusive as to enable them to satisfy
the varying demands of their custom
ers with the product of a single manu
facturer.
After having- been passed upon by
V illys and his sales staff the produc
tion of the new Six will progress with
the usual Overland celerity, so that an
adequate supply of them will be ready
for the market, in the late Summer or
early Fall.
The six-cylinder addition to the
Overland line will retail at $1475, at
whjch figure it has all the appearance
of a record-breaking value that is un
attainable to any but an old and well
equipped. quantity-producing manu
facturer like J. N. Willys.
In appearance the Overland Six is
stylish and impressive, and, according
to the manufacturers, a revelation in
service The wheelbase is 125 inches.
-n, R stroke motor is rated at
45-50 horse power, the handsome

Indians Now in Big
Demand Says Mr. Hendee

President George M. Hendee. c* the

Indian motorcycles, the other day in
response to an inquiry as to condi
tions in the motorcycle industry.
"So far as we are concerned, there

flurries which may prevail in other
"Since the beginning of our 1914
year, our busin, up to May 1 has
been well ahead i the volume written
th T corresponding period of
1913, despite the fact that general con
ditions last year were much more set
tled and more men were 'employed
throughout the country. We, there
fore, have exceeded our best previous
year for the period mentioned.
"While we are not employing as
large a force as we did a vear ago
it is due to a very legitimate reason!
which never before existed. At the
beginning of this season we started
manufacturing our 1914 models three
months earlier than ever before, which
naturally permitted us to accumulate
a large stock of all models in anticipa
tion of the annual Spring rush.
"Already this Spring demand has
been so heavy as to almost deplete
our stock and we have been compelled
to put on more men in our assembling
department to increase the daily out
put. With the advent of a period of
settled weather, we fully anticipate
being compelled to run to full capacity
to keep up with the usual flood of or
ders that pour in during May and
June.
How to Get Home on .
a Blow-Out Casing
"A car can always be driven home
on a blown-out casing, if an extra
tube is carried, and on a punctured
casing, even if no extra tube is in the
car, If the driver knows the trick,"
says the Jackson representative.
"Suppose the shoe has been blown
out, and there is an extra tube aboard,
but no blow-out patch or shoe is in the
kit Burlap can be secured without
much trouble. Inflate the tube par
tially, wrap the burlap cut into
strings—around it fairly tight, and
mount the tube and casing in the
usual way. Burlap is tough and hard
to cut and it usually will get you
home.
"But if you happen to be caught
without an extra tube and you get a
puncture or blowout, you don't have
to go home on a flat casing and rim
cut it. Take the casing off and pack
it full of rags, newspapers, hay, straw,
beans, oats —anything you can get that
will answer the purpose. The idea, of
course, is to get something into the
casing that will substitute for air and
hold the casing in fairly good shape
until you can get to a repair shop or
a supply station. I think it pays to
know things like this, because they
not only save a man money, but a lot
of trouble on the road."
ST. LOUIS GETS F. A. M. MEET
St. Louis, Mo., has landed the 1914
national convention of the Federation
of American Motorcyclists, which is
to be held July 15-18. Committees on
touring, finance and entertainment
have been appointed and arrangements
for the big meet will be pushed rap
idly forward.
One of the leading tours which will
this year be made to the convention
city will be an endurance run of old
time riders, which will start from Chi
cago. This tour will be made up of
men who took an active part in the
runs in the early days of the organ
ization and many of whom are now
heads of motorcycle concerns. No one
who has ridden in convention tours
since 1910 will be permitted to take
part in this veterans' run.
A number of other tours will also
be organized, starting from different
parts of the country and centering in
St. Louis. One of the longest of these
is the run being planned by the San
Francisco Motorcycle Club to attend
the national assembly.
Definite plans for the entertainment
of the delegates to the meet have not
yet been completed, but St. Louis has
one of the most active motorcvcle
clubs In the country, and all riders
who gather there for the 1914 meet
are assured a rousing good time. A
number of F. A. M. motorcycle cham
pionships will be run on the excellent
dirt track at the Missouri capital.
A Rare Opportunity
To buy a used car at a sacrifice price. The whole story in a nutshell is
this: I leave this branch July Ist, and I want to leave a clean slate for my
successor, Mr. G. J. Natcher, so the following cdrs will be sold much less than
actual worth.

Special built Pullman Roadster.
Brush Roadster (in fine condition).
Maxwell Roadster (a good one).
Everitt five-passenger touring car.

Pullman six-cylinder, 7-passenger (a very good one).
In addition to above we have just received a beautiful new 1914 Mighty
Michigan "40" five-passenger touring, and a new 1913 33 horse power Michi
gan touring car, both of which will be sold at a $600,000 reduction.

Economy of Operation
Claimed For Hupmobile
"A very prominent official in public

at that time we did not have on hand
the exact figures *to hack up such a
claim.
"In figuring up-keep cost for motor
cars, the repairs necessary to keep"
the machine in perfect working order
have a wide hearing on economy of
operation. To such an extent is this
true that some motor car companies
have claimed that, were they to stop
i manufacturing their product at this
moment, they could still do a profit
able business on their repair parts
orders.
"Not long ago, in order to determine
just exactly what Hupmobile owners
have spent In repair costs, our audit
ing department gave me a report on
all the repair parts sold to Hupmobile
owners in the last nve years. This
record showed that on the 40,000 Jlup
mobiles now in use, that the average
cost per car for repair parts—basing
mileage at about 5000 miles per car,
per year, is 2.7 mills per mile—hardly
more than one-Hfth of a cent. Need
less to say, this proved a big surprise
to my inquiring friend."
