Chesterfield Six Latest
in the Jeffery Models
Last season the automobile industry ;
was made to blink by the appearance
of a four-cylinder car on the American
market, embodying a great many of ■
the proven and accepted European |
features, most prominent of which was 1
the high speed, high efficiency block I
type motor.
This car was the Jeffery Four, and l
it numbered among its other European
features imported annular ball bear- j
ings, the Daimler leather coupling
which had never before been used in
this country and a Rothschild-de- I
signed body similar to those which he j
exhibited at the London and Paris i
shows.
The new Jeffery Chesterfield Six is
right now creating an equal amount j
of comment because it looks like a |
Peugeot or a Delage, and is the first j
moderate-priced American car to in- i
corporate the worm drive silent rear |
axle.
It is said that 50 per cent, of the j
cars in England are using worm drive !
rear axles, knd that France and Ger- j
many are rapidly taking it up. The |
claims made for the worm drive would \
seem to be substantiated by its silent, j
smooth and efficient operation and
economy of fuel. The worm and pin- j
I ion being constantly in contact elimi- j
I nates the jerks incident to starting or
! changing gears.
The cranking and lighting system of J
the new car is the Bijur, which has |
been so successful on Packard cars. 1
A rather unique method of determin- ;
ing the reliability and efficiency of this I
starter was adopted by the Jeffery l
company. It queried the Packard 1
j dealers throughout the country and j
! asked them what starting and light- ■
j ing troubles they had had. It was ex- I
pected through this source to uncover I
' the weaknesses in the system. The'
j answers were so unanimous in their'
i assurances that no trouble need be j
i anticipated that the letters have been j
: reproduced in portfolio form and
placed in the hands of the Jeffery deal-j
| ers throughout the country,
j A high speed, high efficiency bloc |
I type motor of small bore and long j
| stroke is the power plant of the new |
, car. The horsepower rating is 35 to 1
12, which would seem conservative in I
j a 3x5 motor capable of turning up to !
1 2900 R. P. M. under normal condi- I
| tions.
! Cantilever rear springs contribute j
their share to the easy-riding qualities i
l of the new car. which is 122 inches'
I long and is equipped with straight side
I 34x1 tires on demountable rims.
| '
To start at the touch of a but
ton, to control every movement
of the car without even shifting
your position, to go fast or slow,
forward or backward, or to stop
suddenly with little more effort
than it takes to raise your hand
—such is the joy of operating
a Chalmers "Light Six".
Think of it! The power of forty
horses at your command and all you
i have to do is just sit in comfort, press
a buttor. or move a lever —and the
1915 "Light Six" responds as if it
were a part of you.
Such convenience of operation
makes the Chalmers "Light Six" the
choice of the man who drives himself —
or the woman, either, for this is a man's
car that his wife can drive with ease
and safety.
And the Chalmers "Light Six" is
• real quality car, too. It is built com
plete in the Chalmers shops by an
organization which builds "quality first"
and fixes price afterward. /
Come try this convenient car. And
learn, too, that it is just as convenient
and safe for passengers as for the driver.
See for yourself that it is eaaer to dnro
and easier to ride in than any other
"Light Six" under S2OOO.

Testing Automobiles
For Perfect Balance
"Every motor of the Haynes J.ight
Six car must run so smoothly before
leaving the test frames that a com
i mon, ordinary lead pencil will stand
i on end for hours when stood lip on
| top of the cylinders." declares George
' F. McFarland, of the flarrishurg Au
| tomobile Co., distributors in this ter
ritory for the Haynes. America's tirst
car. "Balancing a silver dollar 011
edge of the cylinders when the motor
is running from a thousand to twelve
, hundred revolutions per minute is an
| other test that is frequently applied.
"Each Haynes motor is put on a
] frame mounted on elliptic springs
identically the same as in the chassis.
1 and run fifteen hours. If there is
I the least vibration in the motor at
I any speed, it will be shown imme
diately by the vibration in the springs
| supporting the frame.
Manufacturing a perfectly balanced,
; silently running motor is a highly de-
I veloped science. The fundamental
work must start in the designing room
I where the proper masses of metal
! must be proportioned to the arms of
| the crank shaft. After each crank
I shaft is machined and the bearings
I ground to a high polish, it is accu
; rately balanced. Not only must the
! shaft balance on sensitive rolling discs
] in any position, but it must balance
I while being revolved at a high rate
; of speed.
"For this purpose a specially de
signed balance is used with long point
ers to move over magnitied scales to
| indicate the location of the excessive
metal that is throwing the shaft out
I of balance. Not only is the crank shaft
: accurately balanced in the* Haynes mo-
I tor, but each completed connecting
! rod is actually weighed so that only
| those rods of the same weight are al
j lowed to go into one motor. A frac
-1 tion of an ounce difference between
I two connecting rods in the same mo
-1 tor would set up vibration due to cen
| trifugal force that would Increase
j with the speed of the motor.
"A balanced motor not only is free
; from vibration, but will pull evenly
; without setting up any sudden strain
in the bearings, and naturally would
I last much longer than an irregularly
1 running motor. Freedom from vibra
| tion means freedom from noise and
I freedom from noise indicates freedom
; from wear."
Studebaker Business Is
Prosperous Everywhere
Studelmker branch houses and dis
tributors. from all parts of the United
| States, show wonderful gains in sales
over the same period a year ago and
the company is frankly advertising the
actual figures to show that the gain
Is not local to any part of the coun
try.
Branches from the Atlantic to the
Pacific show big gains representing
anywhere from 25 to 500 per cent.
For example, during the first two
weeks of September. 1914, tho amount
of Studebaker business done at the
branch in Kansas City was $139,386,
as against $26,554 during the same
two weeks in 19J3; and other
branches show equally significant
gains during the same two weeks.
Thus: Chicago, 1914. $278,433, as
against. sT3ji7o in 1313, Atlanta,
1914, $51,168, as against $11,882 for
1913; Boston. 1914, $67,533, as against
$25,685 in 1913; Dallas, 191), $56,901
as against $16,209 in 1913; Min
nenpolis, 1914. $145,464, as against
1 $55,825 in 1913; and Philadelphia,
1914, $76,761, as against $12,735 in
1 1913.
Studebaker dealers claim that this
wonderful increase in business not
only shows national prosperity, but
that the new 1915 Studebaker cars,
with their improvements and refine
ments have met with instant, appre
ciation from the automobile buying
public.
Improvements in chassis design
have brought down the weight of
both the Studebaker Four and the
Studebaker Six 150 pounds each.
The present type Studebaker motor
has always been a beautiful example
of the more recent school of motor
design, but their improvements and
refinements have increased its power
and efficiency over the design of a
year or two ago.
The Studebaker Four in a recent
relfability run made in Wisconsin
covered five hundred and five miles
with a perfect score and from an eco
nomic standpoint showed a consump
tion of twenty-two and a half miles
to the gallon of gasoline.
Dealers everywhere are reporting
the most flattering tests for both
power and efficiency and they claim
that the public is very quick nowa
days to appreciate good motor car de
sign and for that reason the increase
in Studebaker business for the last
few weeks has been remarkably great.
AVERAGE!) 7.900 MILES
John G. Haas, proprietor of the
Square Deal Auto Supplies, at 1408
North Third street, received the fol
lowing from Louisville, Ky., with ref
erence to the Republic tires:
"Since we have been using these
tires, and we now use them exclu
sively, we have been getting a general j
average of 7,900 miles per casing. The ;
fact that they are smooth tread proves j
to us that you are justlflgd in using
the slogan 'Quality.'
"Taking into consideration the
abuse our cars get every day. I am
prompted to say that the average man
should get fully 25 per cent, more
mileage than we do.
"A satisfied customer is always a
good booster and I can assure you that
whenever the opportunity presents It
self we will recommend your tires and
tubes. Auto Parcel Delivery Co.. E.
iierenn, munager."
Eight Cyclinder
Now that conjecture and rumor are set at rest, and the shock following the
first realization that a new era had dawned in the American automobile indus
try has somewhat subsided, the individual public arc settling themselves to
diagnose the situation from their various angles.
As an automobile buyer it is up to you to join the "Think-for-Yourself"
Club. In the first place, the mere fact that an innovation of this kind, coming
from the house of Cadillac should create such unprecedented interest, is proof
that the public puts considerable confidence in the judgment and foresight of
Cadillac engineers—undoubtedly founded on past achievements such as the ap
plication of the electric lighting and cranking device, etc.
Secondly, can the following Cadillac claims be accepted as conservative,
as has been their reputation heretofore:
"The Cadillac Eight in a oar of practically throttle control, of rapirl and casv ac
celeration. From a snail's pace to the speed of the wind, without apparent effort,
without hesitation, without tremor.
"In operation you enjoy the widest flexibility. From less than three miles an hour
in crowded city streets and congested traffic to more than sixty miles an hour on the
open highway has been demonstrated to b> the range.
"Good roads yield up a velvet quality of travel undreamed-of.
"Bad roads lose much of their terror and hills seem almost to flatten out before
you, so easily, so smoothly, so quietly and with so little apparent effort does the car
surmount them. ,
"Comfort is subserved in the highest degree by the absence of vibration, the soft
upholstery, the yielding springs, the large wheels and tires, the easv control, tho un
usual flexibility, the extreme smoothness ac entuated by the worm bevel driving gears,
and the quietness of motion.
. "The supreme motoring experience of v our life awaits you when vou take your
first ride in this truly remarkable car."
These as well as the many claims of mechanical advantages and superiority
of design, you can readily prove when the new demonstrator arrives in a few
days.

Maxwell Representative Says
Demand Exceeds Supply
W. D. Paine, eastern superintend
ent of sales for the Maxwell Motor
Company, was at the Central Auto !
Garage to-day with E. W. Shank, local j
representative for Maxwell cars. Mr.
Paine said:
"The Maxwell factories are being:
pushed to the limit of production. Be- j
tween 150 and 200 cars are shipped!
daily from the Detroit factory. Large j
trainload shipments are no uncom- j
mon occurrence, sometimes a whole |
day's production being shipped to one 1
city.
"Dealers throughout the country
are demanding more cars for their!
customers and the Maxwell Company.;
is sparing no expense in their at- :
tempt to meet the demands. An in- j
stance of this was shown a few days
ago. when, after a rush telegram had
been received from Springfield. Mo., I
for three cars, the shipping depart
ment immediately ordered an express '
shipment of three cars. Expressing i
automobiles is rather uncommon, but:'
the Maxwell Company believes that j
urgency demands action."

WAR FAILS TO STOP BUSINESS

"Our car orders are considerably

they continue to hold up in a surpris
