Twice as Many
Chandlers
For 1915
1595
The Chandler wetffhs only 2885 pounds.
It runs 16 miles or more per gallon of
fl&soHne, 700 miles per gallon of oil,
and 7000 miles per set oif tires.
The Chandler Company has
doubled its production for the
season 1915. The public has giv
en its verdict. It wants more
Chandlers. The handsome de
sign, the workmanship, the econo
mical light-weight and the
Marvelous Motor
of this splendid six have achieved
widest recognition. Come in and
study the Chandler motor. Take
the car out and drive it.
Then you will understand why we call it
marvelous. It is the finest American de
velopment of the long-stroke principle. It
is beautifully made, 'precise as a watch,
and it is powerful. In it, and on it, you
will find every high-grade feature of the
costliest sixes.
And remember this: It is the exclusive
Chandler motor, the result of eight years
of six-cylinder experience and not a com
mon-place stock motor.
Cast aluminum motor base, extending
from frame to frame, taking road strain
off the motor.
Genuine imported Coventry silent chains
for driving auxiliary motor shafts.
Cam shaft cut from solid forging, with
cam integral. Extra heavy crank-shaft,
perfectly balanced.
Unusually large connecting-rod bear
ings.
Self-contained oiling system, with con
stant lubrication for every working part.
Separate unit electric starting and light
ing system.
Bosch Magneto, for ignition.
Motor beautifully finished in pearl gray
baked enamel. All parts immediately ac
cessible.
Now, that's only a suggestion as to the
extraordinary quality of this exclusive
Chandler Motor. You must come see the
Car to fully grasp if.
Chandler Body Design for 1915 Is the
last word in motor car beauty.
And the profit-sharing price is $1595.
There is no like value to be had at sim

NEW OPPORTUNITIES
CREATED BY THE WAR
Sales Manager of Jeffery Automo
biles Tells of Great For
tunes to Be Made
"Twenty-flve years from now the
children of the mfn who are leaders
!' n business to-day will be commenting
| upon the fact that if their fathers had
i had foresight in 1914 they would have
recognized In the present situation the
greatest opportunity for business de
velopment and actual money making
in the history of the world." In these
thoughtful and optimistic words, E. S.
Jordan, sales manager of Jeffery au
tomobiles recently reviewed the pros
pects before American commerce.
"1 have on my desk before me,"
continued Mr. Jordan, "a list of five
hundred separate articles ranging in
value from $5,000 to $30,000,000 which
have In past years been Imported ex
clusively from European countries into
the United States. The cessation of
these imports open new markets to
American manufacturers of similar
products. Furthermore, American sub
stitutes for all these European articles
must be reduced henceforth in Amer
ica.
For instance, do you know that we
Imported more than $2,000,000 worth
of handkerchiefs last year; $22,000,-
000 worth of dye stuffs; $16,000,000 In
laces and embroideries; $22,000,000
worth of linens; $3,000,000 worth of
yarn; $4,000,000 worth of green or
pickled sheep skins; $2,000,000 worth
of glove leather; $27,000,000 worth of
diamonds; $0,000,000 worth of toys
and $1,500,000 in dolls and parts of
dolls?
When the Civil War broke out
every little town jn Massachusetts had
a half dozen shoemakers or cobblers
pounding away at shoes each In his
own separate shop. The war called
these men to the front, and necessity,
the mother of Invention, forced the
production of a shoe manufacturing
machine. That made the great shoe
industry of Massachusetts.
The business of the Chicago stock
yards doubled during the Civil War,
and the steel business of Pittsburgh
came Into its own during that per
iod.
The world, outside of the United
States, may fight for months on its
present supply of food, clothing and
shoes, hut this supply cannot last.
These nations must look to the United
States for food, clothing and shoes,
not to mention a thousand other neces
saries of life.
Imagine yourself in business in a
small town. You are operating a small
general store. You are one of a half
dozen other merchants in the same
line of business. Your business has
been meager during the last few
months. The general condition of the
country has been one of depression.
Suddenly all other merchants in your
line of trade close up their shops and
go off into a forty-acre lot to tight
tooth and nail. You are left abso
lutely in control of the market.
This is the situation of the United
States to-day. Since war was de
clared we have received from South
America and other countries of the
world many Inquiries for Jeffery cars.
Cars built along the lines of the jeffery
have dominated their markets.
France last year sold $5,000,00 worth
of cars in South America, Germany
$3,000,000, Belgium $1,500,000; Eng
land and the United States sold next
to nothing. Now the markets of Euro
pean countries have been closed to
South America. A largely increased
demand for Jeffery cars is the re
sult. So it Is with products of all
classes. Right now you see wiseacres
on every corner and in everv town in
the land thinking of all the difficulties
that will have to be overcome before
this business is open. Think T>f all
the difficulties that had to be over
come before any big project is opened
It's time for the live wire. The dif
'flculties are what make business in
teresting. It is what makes us get up
in the morning and stay awake all
day. That Is the fascinating thing
about business. If it were not for
the few obstacles that make life worth
while, we would all quit work.
The greatest event In the history of
the world Is now transpiring In Eu
rope. The greatest business oppor
tunity in the history of the world Is
before every business man in America
to-day.
Twenty-flve years from now our
children are likely to be saying, "I
wish Dad bad had foresight in 1914."

Vulcan Efficiency Set
Forth in Letters From Users
H. A. Fishburn, representing the
Vulcan car at Penbrook Garage, has
received the following regarding the
service of the Vulcan car from A. S.
Hentig, of Emsworth, Pa.: "We
have run the car a fraction over 4,000
miles and think w$ have given It a
pretty good test, one trip being out
through Westmoreland, Somerset,
Cambria and Indiana counties, and
the other being through Washington
and Fayette counties, both of which
presented some very trying roads to
the little car, giving very good satis
faction." Several of these Vulcan
touring cars, besides a number of
roadsters, have been delivered to par
ties In Harrlsburg and immediate vi
cinity since the agency for this little
car was assumed.

many mile's. Here Is what he says
about it in a letter to the Telegraph:
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Dear Sir: For the benefit of pedes
trianism will you please permit me to
make a few statements concerning my
sixty-mile birthday walk. Walking is
one of the healthiest of avocations, but
requires so much time that few can
enjoy it to its fullest extent, i would
say right here that my style of walk
ing Is almost universally condemned
as being foolish—just seeing how
many miles you can cover. The ideal
walk Is to start out with no objective
point and leisurely go where 5 - ou
please, stopping to admire the scenery,
sitting down to read a book or hold
converse with your friends. "To peo
ple who like that sort of thing that is
about what they like," but 1 prefer my
way, although I do not claim it Is the
better. There are two things that
must be watched closely in order to
succeed In walking—first, your diges
tion and, second, the condition of
your feet.
Don't Knt Too Much
-As soon as you Tiear of a hiking
party walking two or three miles and
then enjoying a chicken and waffle
supper, you may lie sure that no bene
fit was derived. To walk fifty iniies
needs training In many directions, hut
particularly in abstaining from ex
cessive eating. A person who over
eats cannot lie a good walker, so when
you said I enjoyed a big dinner you
made quite an error, for you must eat
sparingly after any great exertion, be
cause the stomach is only as strong
as the exhausted body. The shoes
worn by the majority of people are
wrongly shaped anatomically. With
pointed shoes a man cannot be com
fortable. 1 .tght woolen stockings and
broad-toed shoes will enable you to
walk in comfort. The smallest knot,
wrinkle or seam Is bound to cause you
suffering and eventually to compel you
to stop.
Everything else being equal, any
person by hard training could walk
sixty or more miles and it would be
more than foolish for any one to essay
a long walk without many preliminary
trips.
Why He lilkes It
Why do I like this foolish, insane
way of tearing through the country?
First, the feeling of the ability to do
something hard and to enjoy all the
discomforts incident to such a walk;
the development of such a thirst that
a cup of iced tea looks better than
anythin that you could put alongside;
the knowledge that you are fit is a big
inducement. Then the enjoyment of
the country and the contact with the
country people and their kindly soli
citation. People don't like the auto
mobile inhabitants. It seems that
they are only thinking of themselves
and they willingly give you dust for
miles, rende'rlng houses and lang along
highways hard to live in. My birthday
is on September 7, and I couldn't walk
on that day for many of my friends
take that time to congratulate me.
Doesn't Carry Pedometer
I don't carry a pedometer, for they
aru not reliable. On my walk to
Heading, which is 53 V* miles by turn
pike, I wore two pedometers. One
registered 4 3 miles and the other G7
miles. They are made to register
your steps, but the step varies so
much that the instrument is not re
liable, and then your last mistake was
about the Bernhelsel brothers. They
gave me a start and then met me at
Camp Hitl and brought me to good
old Harrlsburg.
J. H. FAGER.

I-H-C Trucks Increase in
Favor For Delivery Use
The rapid progress made in the
sales of the I II C truck is Indicated
by the following from C. J. Stevens,
assistant general agent of the Inter
national Harvester Company for this
district:
"The I II C motor truck lias been
on the market for the past eight years
and each year has seen an Increasing
number of sales.
"To-day there are more of these
trucks in use than any other make of
commercial car. These facts alone
are convincing proofs of satisfactory
service, and are being used in prac
iically e\ery line of business where
light hauling and quick deliveries are
essential.
1 he I H C is backed by a manufac
turing experience of over aeventy
tive years, and hundreds of service
stations are established throughout
the United States, and the largest fac
tory in the world for building motor
trucks exclusively speak for the per
manency and financial backing of this
truck.
"The International motor truck en
ables the buyer to give winning ser
vice, reach more customers in less
time, and to make deliveries summer
and winter, rain or shine. Careful
tests made by merchants and con
tractors prove conclusively that the
1 H C delivery car has been a pay
ing proposition for them, and it is
only a question of getting the right
car.
"The I H C truck is built for com
mercial use and its size, power, de
sign, transmission, tires, road clear
ance and price are the results of years
of experience in manufacturing.
"The International Harvester Com
pany of America at their State Sup
ply House, 813-15 Market street, have
a fine display of motor trucks on their
sample floor. An inspection of this
line of commercial car and the facili
ties is ample assurance as to the rea
sons for their popularity among truck
users."
Small Cars Are a Feature
in Detroit G. A. R. Parade
Small cars figured conspicuously in
the G. A. R. parade in Detroit in
connection with the annual encamp
ment. one of the features being a de
tachment of twenty Saxon cars car
rying old soldiers who were unable to
march in the procession. Although
most of the veterans were too proud
to ride in cars and insisted on march
ing, many of them were forced to ac
cept offers of automobile owners and
manufacturers and ride along the line
of march.
The Saxon cars, which headed the
automobile division, were driven four
abreast in five lines. Each car con
veyed a veteran In addition to the.
drlved, the pilots being dressed in
blue suits and wearing white caps.
Thousands who lined the curb on
both side,* of the street cheered the
machines and their occupants, some of
whom were over SO years old. This
procession furnished one of the most
picturesque features of the whole pa
rade, because most of the men who
rode in the cars were older In years
than the rank and file who marched.
Hudsons Are Shipped at
Rate of 100 Per Day
r. W. Dill has received the follow
ing assurance regarding
from factory: "Tuesday, August 25,
100 cars slid over the shipping plat
form and rolled out of the factory on
the tracks of the Detroit Terminal
railroad. That is the record—to date
—but there have been days that nearly
approached it. Days when 86 and
88 and 91 oars were passed through
linal inspection. And from all Indica
tions the century mark is to be a fa
miliar sight on the final assembly wall
from s now on. The factory promises
to catch up on production before the
end of September. To date nearly
1,000 cars have been shipped out by
express. Something absolutely unique
in the history of the automobile
trade.
"Hudson cars are reaching some
eastern dealers through the medium
of one of the fastest trains in the
world—the Dotroiter —Hudson ex
press shipments being attached to that
fast-flying limited.
"Shipments are being handled ab
solutely Impartially. No dealer is get
ting any favors. Each is being allot
ted cars in his regular order and ac
cording to schedule established when
contracts were completed.
"All are participating in this rec
ord production and record shipment."
