LIGHT-WEIGHT SIX
SIE? This is the new Chandler Profit
* M Sharing price. It is the figure
m at which the most famous
M light-weight six touring car and
roadster for 1915 will sell. The fixing of this
price is the second epoch-making move on the
part of the Chandler Company.
The first was when Chandler built the pioneer light-weight six, a strictly
high-grade, six cylinder car of medium size and marketed it for $1785. It
changed the whole trend of motor car manufacturing. It showed the
practicability of building high-grade sixes for the average purse.
And now, prosperous and with doubled output for the coming year,
the Chandler Company is dividing its profits with Chandler purchasers.
At any similar price there is no similarly high-grade six-cylinder
car on the market

SATURDAY EVENING, &ARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 15, 1914
OVERLAND MODEL
ARRIVED IK CITY
New 1915 Model Received by
Redmond Shows Improvements
of Vital Importance
While the 1915 Overland, designated
by the manufacturers as Model 80, fol
lows In most of its general features the
Overland of 1914, the latest product
of the big Toledo plant of John N.
Willys embodies a number of improve
ments and noteworthy changes over
last year's model which make the
Overland a more attractive 'proposi
tion than ever—whether it be viewed
from the standpoint of the dealer or
from that of the purchaser.
In making its public announcement
at this time. The Willys-Overland
Company has adhered to the practice
of former years, to vouchsafe detailed
information concerning its new lines
only when the regular distributors
have been furnished demonstrating
cars; these are now delivered and
ready for inspection.
The points of the new car which re
ceive the tirst attention of the observer
are graceful, strictly up-to-date body
designs and improvements that are
perhaps less noticeable to the average
motorist but nevertheless of vital Im
portance tg him; all these improve
ments secure greater riding comfort
and more quietness and flexibility of
I operation.
The body conforms to the most
modern notions of streamline design,
yet is without the suggestion of ex
aggeration or freakishness. The radi
ator with a shell consisting of a single
steel stamping, joins its curve admir
ably to the characteristic slope of tlte
Overland engine hod which gradually
leads t£> the entirely new cowl dash
and sweeps, without angles or abrupt
curves, to the full-curved tonneau
back, Frame, running-board bracket,
and battery box are concealed by mud
shields which add materially to the
looks of the car by giving it that much
desired long and low appearance.
Though the wheelbase remains 114
inches, the body offers considerably
more leg and elbow room. The rear
seat, for instance, is 49 inches wide
inside; the front seat is 4 0 inches wide,
while the back are 21 inches high in
the rear and 19 inches In the front.
The seats are twenty inches deep with
cushions sloping toward the rear,
which permits the passenger to ride
in the easiest possible position, least
likely to result In fatigue.
In developing the new body design
much attention has been given to in
terior refinements, which may not
force themselves Into the eye of the
motoring novice as much as they will
be appreciated by the seasoned auto
mobilist. An example is the storm
curtains which are fastened and un
fastened from the inside; in fair
weather they are stored in a conve
nient metal box placed directly behind
the front seat and the usuai tedium
or' having to disturb the tonneau pas
sengers when curtains are to be used
is done away with.
Heretofore it used to be the prac
tice to hold the folded-down top in
position with leather straps. The new
Overland has a unique clamp which
holds the top so securely as to prevent
all rattling;. Leather pockets are pro
vided in all doors, which, in addition,
have a metal beading for protection
from the weather. The doors are hung
on concealed hinges with inside-oper
ated latches placed so as to make it
impossible for them to catch on pas
sengers' garments.
The Overland 35 horsepower motor
remains practically unchanged, with
the exception of improvements made
to the oiling system, which now in
sures that all cylinders receive an
equal amount of oil, both on a level
road and when ascending the steepest
grade. The piston has been light
ened and the design of the piston
rings has been changed to improve
balance and reduce noise.
For easier assembly and to do away
with metallic sounds a union Joint
has been placed in the exhaust pipe.
The ignition is by Bosch high-tension
magneto, which is driven at crank
shaft speed through a leather couplng,
which eliminates all noise. The car
bureter is of new design, having a hot
air attachment for both primarv and
auxiliary ports and affording protec
tion to the valves from dirt.
The steering column is place at the
left. The speed control gate is amid
ships and set forward of the front seat
to permit one to get in and out easily.
A switch box, shown in the illustra
tion is attached to the right hand side
of the steering column, two inches be
low the wheel, through which the elec
tric horn, lights and ignition may be
controlled without the effort of stoop
ing forward to the instrument board.
The transmission gear ratios of the
first and second speeds have been re
duced. The gears themselves are
nickel steel, double heat treated; the
transmission countershaft has been
made adjustable by the addition of
two adjusting screws, one at either
end.
The Overland floating type of rear
axle is continued and the brakes are
unchanged. A new front axle of the
I-beam type is employed which to
gether with the drop frame brings the
body of the car closer to the ground.
The front springs are semi-elliptic.
The rear springs are three-quarter el
liptic, 48 inches long, two inches wide,
and slung under the axle on supports
which swivel on the axle housing. The
possibility of side-sway is eliminated by
the use of well-proportioned eyes and
carefully fitted shackle bolts.

Texan Covers Thirteen
States in His Cadillac
Dr. C. D. Johnson, of Thrall, Wil
liamson county, Texas, with his son of
nine years and daughter of four, is
making what will probably be a rec
ord trip through the western, north
western and southwestern parts of the
country. Traveling in a Cadillac and
carrying a complete camping outfit,
the doctor expects to be gone three
months and to cover thirteen States.
Starting at El Paso, Tex., the doc
tor's route carries him to Los Angeles
by way of Phoenix and San Diego,
through Yosemite and Tahoe, Cal„ to
San Francisco to Portland, Ore.; Seat
tle, Wash.; Boise, Idaho; Butte,
Mont.; Salt Lake. Utah; Cheyenne,
Wyo.; Denver, Col.; Oklahoma City,
Okla.; and back to his home at Thrall,
Texas.
The trip started a month ago. and
so far has been without mishap. From
his home to K1 Paso, the speedometer
registered 1,000 miles, due to the nu
merous detours necessary to escape
washed-out roads. Dr. Johnson re
ports considerable travel over the
-southern route. He says he helped at
least a dozen cars out of bad holes in
Texas and New Mexico, and several
parties joined him. but after a day or
so dropped back because the pace was
too stiff for them.
"I had hardly left El Paso." said
the Texan, "when I began hearing
about the mammoth wash-out. This
was to be positively the worst seven
miles of road in the whole world. The
nearer we got to California the
stronger the talk and even when we
arrived in Yuma we were told that
we could not expect to get through.
"One man listened to the talk so
much that he finally shipped from
Yuma to Imperial Junction, but I had
come all the way from Texad with
out having any help and 1 knew if
any car had ever crossed this dreaded
wash mine would make it. I went into
It with more or less fear, after deflat
ing the tires to 35 pounds. On the
low the car made good progress and I
finally slipped it into the intermediate
and as I kept on rjoing I finally got
into the high and finished that much
talked of sand hole on my high gear.
If I don't have anything harder than
the mammoth wash, I vill be
pie; ed."
THE BIG DAY AT THE COLONIAL
This is the big day at the Colonial.
Saturdays always loom up big on the
Busy Corner. There is a good vaude
ville and picture show on the boards
for Saturday theatergoers to-day. All
of next week the Fountain Nymphs
will appear, at the Colonial, not in mo
tion pictures, but in actual life. They
are three girls who have a big tank
of water to use as their ocean for
bathing purposes, and they will give
some diving exhibitions that will be
well worth seeing. On Monday Tues
day and Wednesday of next week the
Colonial will offer a seven-reel mov
ing picture production of David Cop
perfield, from Dickens. On Thursday
and Friday there will be another pic
ture masterpiece, "The Greyhound,"
in v/hich Elita Proctor Otis and the
original Bradway company appears.

Manager of Keystone Motor Car
Company Comments on the
Value of Convention
"Only a man who has attended the
convention of Chalmers dealers from
which I have just returned, can ap
preciate the importance of such a
great selling organization in the eco
nomic activity of the country," said
Robert L. Morton, distributor of Chal
mers cars in this territory.
"The Chalmers dealers' convention
attracted to Cedar Point, Ohio, where
the main business sessions were held,
one of the most prominent studens of
big business in the United States—
Isaac F. Marcosson. Mr. Marcosson is
at present making a tour of the coun

Mr. Marcosson, who is prominent as a
writer for the Saturday Evening Post,
Collier's, Munsey's Magazine, and
other large national publications,
made a two hour talk before the 500
Chalmers dealers at the Convention.
"In his opinion a group of men who
sell annually between eighteen and
twenty million dollars worth of Chal
mers cars must include in their num
ber the best and most prominent deal
ers. He said he believed the Chal
mers Company one of the best estab
lished in the country.
"Mr. Marcosson made in his talk
some very pertinent points on sales

"Governor James Cox of Ohio was
also to have addressed the convention,
but owning to mining trouble in east

Why pay high prices for automobile tires when MAX-'
OTIRE will enable you to get all the wear out of your old
tires.
MAXOTIRES are absolutely guaranteed against blowouts
and rim-cuts under any conditions. The MAXOTIRE is a
combination of a straight side tire, floating tire flap and an end
less scientifically constructed tire-reinforcement made accord
ing to a six years' tested patent process—making it the MOST
USEFUL AND PRACTICAL tire-and-tube saver yet invented.
MAXOTIRES are SEMI-CURED and will not pinch nor chafe
the tube .
In fact MAXOTIRES fill a long felt want for the motorist
because he knows that if his car is equipped with MAXO
TIRES he need have no fear of blowouts or other serious tire
trouble.
It will well pay you to investigate the MAXOTIRE before
buying automobile tires at advanced prices.
