Abbott-Detroit Enjoys
Prosperous Sales Season
George J. Nachert, raanaser of the
Abbott Motor Car Company's local
factory branch reports an exception
ally prosperous season for the Abbott-
Detroit cars. Four of them were de
livered by the local office this week,
and the National report is equally as
encouraging since Edward F. Gerber
assumed the ownership of this com
pany with its famous "Buil-l>og" line
of motor cars.
The publicity appropriation is among
the largest of the advertised automo
bile concerns in the country. Quality
standards are therefore essential to
back up the expressions that build
confidence for a motor car. Many no
ticeable improvements and refinements
are noticeable even to a casual ob
server, since scientific factory oper
ation Is the rule of the present or
ganization.

SAXON COMPLETES
CDfIST-TO-COfIST RUN
Journey From New York to San
Francisco Over Lincoln High
way in Thirty Days
Arrival in San Francisco ended the
3,389-mile trip of the Lincoln High
way Saxon car across the continent
from New York. According to a dis
patch from San Francisco the car
reached its destination July 4 on
schedule time, arriving in excellent
mechanical condition and averaging
thirty miles to the gallon of gasoline
and 150 miles to the quart of oil on
its long Journey. This Saxon holds
the distinction of being the first auto«
mobile to traverse the Lincoln way on
a continuous run, and the first car
of its size and price ever to cross the
continent.
The true far-west spirit marked the
reception given the car and its driv
ers, M. A. Croker and Fred Willtins,
at the completion of the run. An es
cort party went twenty-flve miles out
of San Francisco and piloted the coast
to-coast Saxon into the city. En
thusiasm among the crowds that
awalled the arrival of the car WBS at
a high pitch and many cheers went up
when the ocean-to-ocean traveler pa
raded through the streets of the city.
Upon reaching San Francisco Pilot
Croker drove the front wheels of the
car into the Pacific ocean so as to
make the trip literally an ocean-to
ocean run. He also emptied a bottle
of water carried from the Atlantic
ocean into the Pacific ocean. This
unique ceremony at the end of the
run was similar to that at the start
when the rear wheels of the car were
dipped into the Atlantic ocean.
The finish of this coast-to-coast
journey proved spectacular, the Saxon
showing a remarkable burst of speed
in covering the last 290 miles from
Keno to San Francisco in two days.
For a considerable way of this dis
tance the road leads down hill across
California, but the route in the Lake
Tahoe district provides one of the
severest tests in the way of mountain
climbing on the whole Lincoln high
way.
A run of 185 miles in a day be
tween Kimball, Neb., and Denver,
Col., was the record mileage made by
the coast-to-const car. Uuns of 170
miles and more were frequent west
of the Mississippi, despite the fact
that for the most part the road is al
most one continuous uphill climb.
Over all kinds of roads and hills
and through all kinds of weather, this
car maintained the schedule mapped
out for it at the start of the run. It
crossed the lons grades of the Alle
ghenies between New York and Can
ton, 0., without requiring the addi
tion of extra water in the radiator.
It plowed through hub-deep mud and
sand and negotiated washed out roads
where the water at times came up al
most even with the radiator.
Before undertaking this trip, the
same car made a run of 1-35 miles a
day for thirty consecutive days in De
troit. The 4,050 miles which it cov
ered on that occasion, coupled with
the distance of 3.359 mileß across the
Lincoln highway, have brought Its to
tal for sixty days of travel up to
7,439 miles, or the equivalent of two
years of service in the hands of the
average owner.
In automobile circles this run has
been a much discussed event. The
performance of the Lincoln Highway
Saxon car is taken to indicate the
progress that has been made in the
art of building automobiles. It is re
called that up to a few years ago
even the highest priced, most power
ful motor cars would hardly have at
tempted the feat that has Just been
accomplished by the $395 Saxon.

TIMIDLY CVCVECIR
NOW A LOCAL FEATURE
Graceful Little Model Is Being De
monstrated by Trostle & Mourer,
Local Representatives
The new Twombly cyclecar was re
ceived by Trostle & Mourer yesterday
and is now creating considerable in
terest as the trim-looking little car is
seen in the streets. With its fine,
shapely proportions, a true stream-line
effect, the new Twombly isf a model of
smartness, exceedingly graceful and
artistic, but the greater attraction is
In the surprising; comfort of the rider,
convenience to the driver and Its re
markable evenness when going at a
very high speed.
Owing to its low center of gravity,
the Twombly sticks as closely to the
road as the big cars, and, while skim
ming along at a fifty-mile gait, nego
tiates road conditions that are exceed
ingly difficult to all cars and impossible
to many.
The wheels are specially designed
with heavy wire spokes and extra
long hubs, practically an indestructible
wheel.
The Twombly has a true differential
axle, with a solid shaft from wheel to
wheel, more than doubling strength
and efficiency—and it is the most ac
cessible "live" axle ever built, for the
car can be raised on the roadway and
the entire axle and differential re
moved within five minutes.
Telescoping steering wheel is an
other of the ninny good things in the
Twomhly—raised or lowered while
running or movable entirely out of the
way in entering the car. Detailed de
scription shows Twomhly specifications
to he as attractive as most cars of very
much greater cost. The Twomhly price
is $395.
The Twomhly cars won every event
ii* their class from a competitive field
of five other entries in the first cycle
car meet held in America, June 13.
through northern New Jersey. This
included a forty-mile schedule and
hill climbing, reverse gear, fuel econ
omy, crank start and low gear con
test. The Twomhly again won at the
Michigan State Fair grounds race
track. These were regular stock cars,
goinn; twenty-five miles in 2 9 minutes,
fifty miles in tin minutes, minus one
tire, and twenty miles in 2fi minutes
with broken wheel caused by collision.
