"The Haynes Company drew space

"Last January, at the Chicago show,
the Haynes Company sold more cars :
than at all the previous shows held
in the Windy City combined; but with 1
the popularity of the Havnes "Light

records for cars sold at similar events
will be shattered. It is stated that
there will be approximately 550 ex

events. Of this number 101 will ex

products of allied trades that enter
into the making of the modern motor

"S. A. Allies, manager of the shows,
reported that applications for the fif

number those for any previous affairs
of the kind, it being impossible to
provide for seven of the car applica

"The drawing showed that the past
year has seen little or no increase In
the number of manufacturers, the cars
represented at the drawing being old
timers in the field. In this connection
it is interesting to note that the
Haynes Company participated in the
fourteen annual exhibitions held in
New York and Chicago—a record that
can be duplicated by very few of the
present day manufacturers."

DODGE BROTHERS
CUR WITH KEYSTONE
Agency For Coveted "Car of Mys

ROBERT L. MORTON
f*
Manager of Keystone Motor Car Co.
Official announcement is made by
Dodge Brothers, Detroit, of Phe selec
tion of the Keystone Motor Car Co. to
handle the forthcoming Dodge Broth
ers' motor car in Harrisburg and vi
cinity.
The rivalry on the part of dealers
to represent this new car has been in
tense, not only In Harrisburg, but
throughout the country—as high as
thirty-one applicants having been re
ceived from dealers in some of the
larger cities. It is therefore a dis
tinct compliment to the Keystone com
pany that they have been successful
in securing this most coveted dealer
ship.
Dodge Brothers are widely known
in the automobile industry as the
largest manufacturers of parts in the
world. It is stated on good authority i
that they have supplied the vital parts
to over 500.000 of the 1,250,000 cars
now in use in this country.
Because of their tremendous manu
facturing facilities, their high finan
cial standing, and their wide experi
ence in the manufacture of parts, it is
generally conceded that the car they
will market this Fall will set a new
standard in automobile values. Their
car has been called the "Cpr of Mys
tery" because of the fact that no word
has been given out as to price, dimen
sions or equipment. In spite of this
fact, the reputation of Dodge Broth
ers is such that the best dealers
throughout the country are taking on
the line, "because," as Air. Morton
says, "it is inconceivable that a con
cern of the character of Dodge Broth
ers should manufacture a car that
would not play a very large part in
establishing automobile values for the
future."
'••The Dodge Brothers studied the
Harrisburg situation very carefully be
fore placing their agency with the
Keystone Motor Car Company, and
only done so. after finding this an old
and very reliable organization in the
retail motor industry and that the ac
tive force of this organization is com
posed entirely of real live ones, who
both know the motor car business,
arid also the importance of fair treat
ment to their customers."
The Dodge Brothers investigated
the above claims thoroughly and the
management of this organization is
most highly recommended by a num
ber of the best men in the city.
Dodge Brothers are fortunate in se
curing such representative dealers in
Harrisburg.
The success of the new car in the
hands of the Keystone Motor Car Co.
is assured.
Government Men Using
Metz Gearless Car
In the Tieton Valley, in Eastern
Washington, the United States gov
ernment is spending a vast sum in
building an irrigation canal, and in
this important project the automobile
is figuring conspicuously as a means
of expediting construction work. The
scene of the building activity is about
tiftoen miles from North Yakima. To
reach the project one must traverse
rough and hilly roads and country
that puts a severe strain on the mech
anism of a car. Deep sand frequently
is encountered which adds to the diffi
culty of travel.
After trying out a number of makes
of automobiles, the engineers in the
United States reclamation service
purchased a- 22-horsepower Mctz road
ster, and a Cartercar touring model,
both of which advance the gearlesß
type of transmission. The wide range
of power of the sturdy little Metz and
its big teammate have proved too
much for the mountainous country
s*nd Uncle Sam's men travel over the
hills and through sand without the
slightest fear that they will not get
through.
The little Metz car Is giving splendid
Service, and the government engineers
declare they coull not dispense with
it. Because of its light weight and
great power, it can travel anywhere In
the Eastern Washington country. The
low cost of operating the machine has
proved a surprise to the government
men.
Maxwell Performance
Commended by Owners
"It is a matter of considerable com
ment that as a self-advertiser the new
1915 Maxwell, the $695 'Wonder Car,'
ranks foremost among the popular
priced cars in this country," said E. W.
Shank, local Maxwell representative.
"The man who buys a Maxwell is
soon so impressed with the speed, en
durance and general good looks of his
lar that he freely and enthusiastically
advertises its points of excellence. •
"The car performs so admirably
day in and out, frequently under very
adverse conditions, that it attracts
general attention to Itself and causes
the most favorable comment.
" 'The new Maxwell "25" is the
finest traveler over rough roads I ever
saw, - said a local owner. 'lt's a won
derful hill climber, too. I have occa
sion to drive my Maxwell "25" over
some of the roughest roads in Dau
phin county, and also up some very
steeps hills. The way that car stands
up Is something astonishing. I never
have any trouble with my car. I
wouldn't swap it for a car twice its
cost.'
"Similar repo/ts are constantly
reaching Mexwell headquarters in De
troit from all parts of the United
States.
"Praise for this handsome, stream
line, five-passenger family automobile
is continuous and universal. It Is, at
Its price, unquestionably the world's
greatest automobile value."

ECONOMY RUN TO
YORK AND GETTYSBURG
Leading Dealers and Others Have
Signified Intention o£
Participating y
From here to Gettysburg and from
there to York and returning by way
of WrigbtsvKle, Coltfmbia, Mount Joy
to Harrisburg, an economy run has
been arranged for by Secretary Myton,
of the Motor Club of Harrisburg.
Practically all of the leading dealers
have signified intentions of entering
cars in the contest and others will no
doubt come in to make it a successful
event. The Harrisburg Telegraph has
agreed to contribute a cup as a trophy
for the winner and other prizes may
be arranged for shortly. The samo
rules will govern that determined the
result at Bellefonte last year. Cars
and passengers will be weighed, thus
basing the. decision on the number of
miles per gallon per weight of car and
load.
It is the intention of the committee
to check out nil cars ftt 7 o'clock in th«>
morning so as to return in time for a
good Thanksgiving dinner at their re
spective homes in Harrisburg. Nu
specified time for luncheon will bo
made en route, but each party may
stop where and when desired, the only
restrictions being that the prescribed
route is followed and return is mado
in time to check in on the Square.
These trips are usually enjoyable
affairs, as well as of value in deter
mining the economy and skill in op
erating motor cars. Entries should
be telephoned or mailed to the secre
tary of the Motor Club, t
ters and the finer mechanism of motor
car attachments. All the floors of the
building at River and Blackberry
streets are used exclusively for th«
mechanical service, with a force oC
expert mechanics in charge of tlio
work who have specialized on speed
