MOTOR CAR DEALERS
WANT HOUSE ORGANS
Paige Company Gets Illuminating
Suggestions in Straw Ballot;
Prefer Practical Kind
What do dealers want to read In an
automobile "house-organ?"
It Is very evident, from the definite
answers to this question received by the
Paige Motor Car Company, that motor
ear distributors and salesmen are of a
decidedly practical turn of mind and
prefer matter that Is helpful to them
In their business rather than articles of
a personal, humorous or even aesthetic
nature.
The Paige Company arrived at this
definite Information in a practical way.
A straw ballot was taken among the
dealers. The voters being given a
choice of several names, of several
styles of publications, and also asked to
mark in their orders of preference ten
different general subjects for editorial
and news matter.
The results of this ballot were cer
tainly illuminating. From the 587 bal
lots returned a vast majority chose as
their favorite topic for house organ
matter "Suggestions on the care and
Operation of Cars." Second choice,
with a huge margin to spare, went to
"Selling Arguments." "Testimonial
Letters from Owners" was a very popu
lar suject and it took third position,
while "Factory News" was placed
fourth In the order of preference. The
remaining subjects in their order of
preference, according to these ballots,
were: "News of General Business Con
ditions," "New Merchandising Ideas."
"Stories of Auto Tours." "Articles on
Advertising," "Articles on the Decora
tion and Arrangements of Salesrooms"
and "Factory Visitors."
Preference was also expressed for a
house organ of the newspaper style,
rather than the magazine type and the
dealers voted by a large majority to
change the name from "The Paige
Radiator" to "The Paige." This change
of name will be adopted in the next is
sue, October 15. and the . editors will
follow out the dealers' suggestions in
regard to material.
Hupmobile Sales Report
Encouraging in West
"Business conditions in the West are
on the average, in a fair condition,"
said Sales and Advertising Manager F.
J. Mponey, who has just returned to
Detroit from a trip through the Cen
tral States.
"In Nebraska. I was particularly im
pressed with the report from our deal
er, the Cadillac Motor Company, of
Omaha. Throughout that section of the
country, there does not seem to be a
depression in any particular line of
business, and everything looks to be
on the increase.
"I attended, while In Omoha, a Con
vention of Hupmobile dealers in that
territory, and the enthusiasm that
abounded at all the meetings was shar
ed by everyone. Nearly every dealer
there pledged himself to increase his
business for 1915 and stated that the
new Hupmobile was creating a sensa
tion in motor car circles.
"I arrived in St. Louis in time for
the Motor Car Show. This Is the first
show I attended for the 1915 season,
and it afforded me an excellent oppor
tunity to judge the attitude of the buy
ing public. I must say that I was
agreeably surprised. l .
"Our dealer there reported six sales
the first two days of the show and
from the r sports I had handed me from
other com lanles, everyone was doing
business.
"Taking the situation all in all, I am
greatly pleased, and cannot see why
business will not be as good as last
year, especially in the territory through
whitSi I passed."
Dodge Brothers Receive
10,201 Requests For Agency
'Along about the Ist of August, Gen
eral Sales Manager Philp made the pre
diction that 10,000 dealers would have
made application for Dodge Bros, sales
rights by October 1." said George C.
Hubbs, of Dodge Brothers. "Just how
close he came to hitting the mark is
shown by the total count for the first
day of October. On that date 10,201
separate dealers from the United States
and Canada had written in to the fac
tory about the new car. Requests are
still coming in at an average of 100
per day, with no sign of let-up."
Mr. Hubbs relates an incident con
cerning T. J. Doyle. Detroit dealer for
Dodge Brothers, which exhibits some
thing of the interest shown by pros
pects in the new car. Through some
unknown source, the impression pre
vailed in Detroit, that Doyle was to re
ceive his demonstrating car on October
1. When Doyle reported at his office
that morning, he found his salesroom
crowded with prospects, all wanting to
look at the new car. The Detroit man
was compelled to explain that as yet
he had received no car, hut was in
hopes of getting the first one bv another
thirty days. As over 300 people visited
his salesrooms during the course of the
day, Doyle reports puting in the busiest
ten hours' -work in some years.

PROTEST HBJUNST
MOMS
Some Motor Car Owners Now Pay
Two and Three Taxes; Other
Vehicles Untaxed
Automohilists throughout the coun
try are thoroughly aroused at the evi
dent desire on the part of certain
national legislators to place upon mo
tor car owners a large percentage ot
the amount to be derived from the
war tax measure.
State and local clubs of the Amer
ican Automobile Association almost
unanimously responded to the call of
its special legislative corgmlttee, oi
which Dr. H. M. Rowe, of Maryland,
served as chairman, to make known
to members of Congress their positive
objection to being seized upon anew
as a source of attack for purposes of
revenue.
The protest set forth the unfairness
of any legislation which singled out
motor cars from other road vehicles.
If gasoline motor cars were 'called
upon to pay, It was asserted, all
horse-drawn vehicles should be taxed,
frankly admitting that their mileage
is less and the tax should be accord
ingly graded.
The situation presented an oppor
tunity to A. A. A. clubs to emphasize
to the national legislators the just
position which the-association has ta
ken in contending that all road ve
hicles should pay or none should pay.
In his communication to the Sen
ate Finance Committee. Dr. Rowe set
forth the following:
"In many States motor car owners
now pay two and three taxes, and
furthermore, are discriminated against
as a special class of road users in
that other vehicles go untaxed. If it
is right to tax one class of road ve
hicles, all vehicles should be similarly
treated.
"This would be equally true in the
imposition of any war tax. for it must
now be apparent to all that automo
biles have an equal right with all
other vehicles to the free use of pub
lic highways, built and maintained by
general taxation. Furthermore, the
self-propelled vehicle has become of
such common use that an extra tax
at this time would be a burden and
detiimental to the interests of the peo
ple at large. Moderate-priced and
moderate-powered cars greatly exceed
the comparatively small number of
multi-powered motor oars.
"It is a conservative estimate to
say that over half of thfe 1,600,000
automobiles in use have a positive
commercial value, and the larger part
of the remaining fifty per cent, are*
partially employed seriously; carry
ing men to business or people to rail
road stations, and otherwise serving
those who abridge distance by road.
"We would call your attention to
the fact that as citizens we shall pay
with all others whatever general taxes
may be imposed in any war measure
adopted. But we do vigorously pro
test against any legislation which
passes on to us an unfair proportion
of the burden, "and also carries with
it a discrimination against one class
of road vehicle."
American Auto Makers
Study 8-cylinder Cars
That American manufacturers of
motor cars have been paying close at
tention to the performance of eiirht
cylinder cars in Europe and that this
interest has been intensified since the
announcement of the eight-cylinder
Cadillac, is stated in a recent issue of
one of the leading automobile pub
lications.
This periodical says that during the
last six months the demand from De
troit motor car makers for European
experimental high efficiency cars has
indicated that considerable study is
being applied to this important sub
ject, while orders from the same place
since the new Cadillac has been re
vealed threaten to deplete the available
stock of eight-cylinder cars, which
had already been decreased by the
European war.
This statement occurs in the course
of a long article by a prominent engi
neer on the advantages of the eight
cylinder motor for automobiles. The
author states that, excepting the small
four-cylinder engine for low-powered
cars, the eight will be the ultimate
type of automobile motor. He bases
this belief on the superior flexibility,
thermal efficiency, power per pound
of motor weight, and durability of the
eight. He cites, as proof that this
type is most durable, the fact that,
after 32,000 miles of service, an eight
cylinder motor showed all wearing
surfaces in good condition, with hut
slight wear on the cam and valve
mechanism.
It is asserted that, the action of this
engine and its condition after hard
use are good arguments for the adop
tion of the eight-cylinder design. It
had seen three years of service and
th' author, who is an englneter, and
who inspected the torn-down motor
carefully, says its condition was as
good as that of a standard American
four-cylinder after only one season of
similar service.
