6 OPENING GUN (Following quoted from factory ad.) "Therefore, when the Cadillac Company says that it is about to offer a mo tor car which marks developments and advancements so great, so vast, so wide spread in their scope, that past achievements pale almost into insignificance, you are justified in looking forward to something which even the word 'extraordi nary' fails adequately to describe. Our formal announcement will be a revela tion In order to get in line for an early delivery we would suggest that you do as many others have done—place your order subject to unrestricted cancellation if, after seeing and riding in the new Cadillac, you do not like it. Crispen Motor Car Co. 413-417 S. Cameron Street Governor Turns From Horses to the Cadillac Governor Samuel B. f:alston, of In diana, has always been an 'ii lent lover of horses. He loves them yet, but has learned to love the motor car also, as evidenced by his recent purchase of a Cadillac. Now a part of the Executive stables has been turned into a garage, and the Governor uses the Cadillac more often than he drives out behind Ills fine horses. Whether Governor Ralston will learn to drive the car Is a question. For the present, he says, his son will do the driving. For a long time the Governor has been besought by automobile men to add a car to the Executive equip ages, and for a long time resisted all attempts to get his name on tho State license lists. But he could not resist the lure of the Cadillac. He soys he is proud of his selection, and that the nembers of his family are exceedingly well satisfied with It.

Foreign War May Effect American Car Manufacture That a long continuance of the Eu ropean war may seriously hamper American motor ear manufacturers in securing accessories and supplies made abroad, it believed by many men promi nent in the Industry. While the aver age high-grade American car is almost entirely manufactured from materials secured in this country, several im portant items such as magnetos and bearings are secured from European countries. With practically every Ger man factory closed down and similar conditions in France and England, a shortage is bound to result. "Fortunately for our own cause, we have oil hand enough of the accessories made in Europe to last us indefinitely." says C. A. Emise, sales manager of the Chandler Motor Car Company. "Among these are silent chains manufactured in Coventry, England; Bosch magnetos, spark plugs and bearings, made In Ger many, and upholstering material from France. While Europe holds the repu tation for turning out the highest grade accessories in this line, it seems to me the present crisis affords an excellent opportunity for American manufactur ers to secure some of the business that has hitherto gone abroad. "In bearings, especially, the foreign makers seem to have outstripped their American competitors. In view of the enormous quantity of bearings used by American car manufacturers it would certainly appear that this mitrht be come a very Important acquisition to the trade in the United States." Foreign shipments of cars from the Chandler factory have been made since the outbreak of the war, to points out side of Europe, and efforts are being made to concentrate on South Ameri can.

Jeffery Company on its four-wheel drive and steer truck, called the Quad. Mr. Wardrop, of "Power Wagon," said, when the tests had been concluded: "It was the most comprehensive motor truck exhibition 1 have ever witnessed. The time has come when the real facts of motor truck transportation cannot be stated offhand, hut can only be ascertained through a careful study of the experience of different industries." The test conducted by the Jeffery Company on Its new Quad showed a car of unusual capacity to traverse bad traction condition that to another kind of car would be impossible. The Quad, which is a motor truck driven and steered on all four wheels, has been designed by' the Jeffery Company to JEFFER Y A CARS Stand for Economy, High Grade Quality, Distinction in Style, Plus Comfort at a Moderate Price PLEASURE CARS JEFFERY TRUCKS Jeffery Four ....$1,450 1»500 lbs.

HARRISBURG, PA. meet the demand of the United States army for a motor truck which could bo used in actual Held service to perform at least as much work as under the same conditions as would be done by a team of four mules. The first lest which the company held at the Jeffery factory consisted of driving the Quad over a series of three hurdles. These hurdles were made of timbers about Bx4 piled to the height of sixteen inches. There was in one case a step from the ground made by a plank, and in the other case a sheer vertical face of sixteen inches. Carry ing a load of approximately 4,0fi0 pounds the truck surmounted these hurdles with ease. It was then driven to the testing field beyond the Jeffery factories and showed its ability to work under the most severe conditions by carrying its load back and forth over ploughed and rough ground where the footing was ouite as difficult as could possibly be expected in actual field service with the army. At one point the Quad actually climbed up the side of a steep gully or ditch at least five feet deep. Then to show that the limit had by no means been reached, the Quad again crossed the gully and pulled after It a trailer loaded with two tons of pig Iron. Numbers of Cadillacs Tour Yosemite Valley The Government record of automo biles touring the Y.osemite Valley of California reveals the Interesting fact that 13 per cent, of all the machines entering the valley so far this season have been Cadillacs. It is further shown that almost one-third of these are cars three and four years old, and not a few of them have seen six years of service. Leaving the valley there is a stiff climb over part of which the grade Is 30 per cent. The road Is soft and full of small rocks. It is said that the majority of motorists prefer to go fourteen miles out of their way to El Portal to avoid this grade, but prac tically every Cadillac makes the climb and not one has ever been tied up. The manager of the Yosemite gar age says no cars arrive at the valley in better shape than the Cadillacs. The older ones, he says, are especially noticeable, as they usually carrv com plete camping outfits and at least four passengers. Peggy Parsons, who drives a 1914 Cadillac, Is one of the few women who has driven a car over the difficult road. She has been driving the same make for four years and invariably negotiates the grades without boiling the water in the radiator. Goodyear Tires at Ante-bellum Prices The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., announce "No wai* prices on Goodyear Tires." Mr. F. A. Sleberllng, presi dent of the Company, thus expalins their unique position. " We advanced Goodyear prices, as others did theirs, when the rubber panic came. Almost in a day crude rubber rose in New York from 55 cents per pound to much over a dollar. And. as most of the world's rubber comes via London or Antwerp, we saw no way out for a time. "The New York supply was too small to consider. European exchange was entirely suspended. Merchant ships had ceased running'. "But we have an almost world wide organization, and we brought it at once into play. We are the world's largest buyers of high-grade rubber, so we have our own experts in Lon don, Colombo, Singapore and Para. "We cabled our London people to buy up the pick of the rubber there. By . acting quickly and paying cash they obtained 1,500,000 pounds of the finest rubber there. They bought be fore the advances —before the other buyers saw a way to get London ex change or to bring the rubber here. "That big supply of rubber is near ly all on the way to the Goodyear fac tory in Akron. It constitutes the best of the London supply. On the inferior grades remaining, prices have since been rapidly advanced. "We have since taken other steps to insure us a continuous supply, all of the. highest grade rubber. In all the chief sources of rubber supply we hav6 experts on the ground. All is being done that can be done to se cure the best rubber, the exchange to pay for it and the ships to bring tt here. "The result is that Goodyear tire prices are now the same as in June. This is triky, we believe, of no other maker, all of whom have raised prices. We are using the same grade of rub ber and the same amount of It as we always have used In these tires. "We are running our factory with three shifts of men, twenty-four hours a day. So long as we remain in this fortunate position on rubber, we shall supply tire users at before-war prices to the limit of our capacity." The "Bride Shop" Comes Again to the Orpheum 'vaster Now that the vaudeville season seems far enough advanced for us to have one of those "girlie" musical comedies, the management is announ cing a return engagement of Ben Rolfe's "Bride Shop" for next week. Speaking of the return of this de lightful miniature musical comedy Manager Hopkins said to-day that he actually thinks It one of the most beautiful productions In vaudeville. In costuming it is the.very finest and when it comes to the cast of players as well as action and musical scores, "The Bride Shop" comes up to the mask of the more pretentious musical comedies, about as close as any vaudeville attraction can. "The Bride Shop" appeared at the Orpheum late last season, when it es tablished one of the attendance re cords of the vaudeville theater's care er. The stunning costumes with wigs to match, worn to perfection by beau tiful and graceful girls, and also the "Lingerie" number, are two of the features of the playlet that are apt to be most easily recalled. Pretty Lolo Wentworth, who was featured in the production before, is still selecting her wondrous trousseau, and is the delight of the piece. Some new touches have been added to the act, such as the latest fads of the moment in women's gowns, and some new musical scores have been Interpolated.—Advertise ment.

First 1915 Hupmobile Shipped From Factory With the shipment of the first 1915 Hupmobile last week, manufacturing: operations on the new models started with a rush at the Detroit factory of the Hupp Motor Car Company in the past week. Sales officials declare that the 1916 season is a full month ahead of previous years in point of activity. "One of the unusual features of Hupp business this month, is the great num ber of dealers calling for immediate de livery of cars," says Commercial Man ager F. A. Harris. This is chiefly due, of course, to the fact that the Hupmobile while embody ing- all the time-tried Hupp character istics has added entirely new elements of attractiveness, which have a strong appeal to the large and loyal Hup mobile following. "Another factor contributing to large sales of Hupmoblles, in my opinion, is the return of vacationists whose Euro pean trips were cut short by the war. Many of these tourists had just landed in France and England to tour the British Isles and the Continent by motor car. Others were taken un awares In the interior and had their cars confiscated or were compelled to abandon them owing to lack of shipping facilities." First shipments Included demonstrat ing cars for dealers in all sections of the country.
