The Quality Car
f
Compare this new fore-door model of the METZ with any other
Roadster on the market, and you will see at once its superiority in
appearance, easy-riding qualities, and dependable road perform
ance.
The METZ has entered into open competition with cars of all
makes and prices, even including racing models, in all kinds of
endurance and hill-climbing contests, and has repeatedly won. It
takes a Quality car to hang up a string of records such as these—in
cluding the 3-mile hill climb at Unlontown. the 1-mile hill-climb at
Rlchtield Springs, the track events at Springfield, and the last Glid
den Tour, America's classic touring event.
This was the only light car in the Thanksgiving day economy
contest covering the entire course without one minute's trouble of
any kind. Having a higher mileage than any car of the thirteen
entered, winning this point with an average of 32.9 miles per gallon,
or 3 gal. 1 qt. and 2, 3 pt. for 111 miles. This we claim cannot be
equaled by any other car of near its.weight and horse power.
This remarkable run was not made by a new car but by an old
1914 model—a car that has been run for 1 year and 3 months. The
car \ elghs about 1200 pounds and was loaded for the run to 1805
pounds.

SATURDAY EVENING,
seven months and have been In the
hands of testing' engineers for six
months all over the country, the secret
| has been completely kept up to this
time.
The definite admission by Mr. Moore
to the effect that the new Saxon will be
; a "Six" has aroused even more interest
| than ever before because of the suc
] cess of the Saxon Company with light
, weight, low priced cars of high effici
ency.
Since the rumor became current that
the Saxon Company would launch a
new car of the touring type, applica
tion for distribution rights have poured
In from dealers all over the country at
' the rate of hundreds a w6ek.
1 Along with the confirmation of the
rumor about the new car comes the
word from Mr. Moore that the success
iof their four-cylinder roadster has
I prompted the Saxon Company to ar
| range for greatly Increased output of
i this model for the coming season. It
i had been foreseen that the present
l factory facilities would be inadequate

|. PROTECT the Family
in Winter Driving---
Everybody knows the Hupmobile has
long been the car of the American fam
ily.
Now it is the winter car of the Amer
ican family, because the Sedan top
gives the family complete protection
on winter trips, says E. C. Ensminger,
the local Hupmobile dealer.
I'd like you to see the car with the
top fitted, because I'm pretty sure you
will want one for your own family.
The extra cost is so small that it is
out of all proportion to the comfort af
forded and the colds and doctor bills it
prevents .
Its appearance is handsome—it har
monizes perfectly with the 1915 Hup's
beautiful lines—it is substantially built
and firmly, though temporarily at
tached.
Inside it compares with the richest
limousine.
And when spring comes, take it off
and store it away for use the next win
ter.
If you care for your family's com
fort and your own, better see the new
car.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
IMMENSE ADDITION j
TO HUDSON FACTORY!
Main BaOding and Three Wings
to Have Third Story
Added
Cheering evidence of satisfactory
present and future business conditions
is shown by the announcement of im
mense additions to be made to the al
ready enormous factory of the Hudson
Motor Car Company. So pronounced
has been the success of the Hudson Six,
and so insistent the demand of the
public for cars that the present plant,
large as it is, has proved inadequate to
handle the business. It has. therefore,
been decided to add a third story to
the main factory building and to three
of the large wings, an addition of floor
space 2,200 feet long by sixty feet wide.
"In construction the addition will con
form to the present style of pressed
brick and concrete. Work on an addi
tional story will begin at once. It is
to be completed, and the enlarged prem
ises ready for occupancy on March 1,
1915. This Is arranged so that the
company will be in the best possible
shape to handle what promises to be
the record year of its history.
CAKE OF BATTERY
To Avoid Freezing It Should Always
He Fully Charged
"WitH the coming of cold weather,
the storage battery used in connec
tion with the starting and lighting
systems may require a little extra at
tention," states George F. McFarland,
president and general manager of
the Harrisburg Automobile Co., dis
tributors in this territory for the
Haynes, America's First Car. "A
cold motor requires much cranking
and consequently much current Is
used. The effect of cold on a storage
battery is to make it sluggish. A
hydrometer should be used frequently
to see that the battery Is not being
discharged to too low a degree.
"A storage battery will gradually
become discharged when standing idle
even when no current is being used,
due to the fact that a slow chemical
action is taking place at all times
within the battery regardless of
whether the current is being used or
not. When a car is not to be used
for as long as two or three weeks, or
the car is to he stored, the battery
should receive a complete charge be
fore allowing the battery to stand,
and it should receive additional charg
ing at least every two or three weeksi
until the cells begin to gas or bubble
freely. This charging is best done
by allowing the battery to remain in
the car without disturbing any of the
connections, by allowing the engine to
run at the same speed as Is attained
when the car is traveling at about
twenty miles per hour.
"In order to avoid freezing of the
battery, it should always be kept In a
fully charged condition. A fully
charged battery will not freeze at any
of the temperatures ordinarily ex
perienced. The electrolyte, or solu
tion, will freeze as follows:
Specific gravity 1.120. battery dis
charged, 20 degrees above zero,
j Specific gravity 1.160, battery %
1 discharged, zero.
Specific gravity 1.210, battery Va
i discharged, 20 degrees below zero.
Specific gravity 1.260, battery
discharged, 60 degrees below zero.
VELVET PRESSES W ITH TUNICS
Although many dress skirts are in
circular cut, this is rarely the case
with velvet dresses, as the long
tunic is especially good in velvet,
says the Pry Goods Economist. These
! long overskirts, as they may be call
ed. require weight in the cloth to
make them hang gracefully, and are
therefore an attractive style for vel
vet. Circular skirts are very apt to
hang unevenly in velvet, as the weight
iof the cloth drags down the skirt at
the sides.

DODGE BROTHERS
CLEAR ATMOSPHERE
Announcement a Surprise to Many
Who Predicted Lowest-
Priced Car
Aside from the tremendous inter- | s
est shown by the public in the new,
car which has just been announced |*
by Dodge Brothers, a much-vexed
question as to the position the new (
car would occupy In the Industry has
been definitely settled. Every sort of
guess from a cycleear to a six-cylin
der machine was ventured by men
who claimed to know but probably
the greatest number believed that I
Dodge Brothers' new car was to be I
some sort of marvelous creation sell
ing well under SSOO.
The attitude of Dodge Brothers was
well explained by General Sales Man
ager Philp recently in a talk to deal
|ers and newspaper men.
"Dodge Brothers, with years of ex
perience in turning out parts for low
priced cars, have sought and we be
lieve, obtained a new ideal In the
moderate-priced tield," said Mr,
Philp. "In place of building the best'
car possible at a low price, Dodge |
Brothers determined to build the best |
car they knew how to build, and then
place a moderate price on it. We be
lieve that this is the first time the
problem has been approached in this
manner, and the enthusiastic recep
tion given the car proves the correct
ness of Dodge Brothers' estimate of
the public demand.
"In assigning a new motor car to i
any particular grade, it should be I
remembered, that while the moderate
priced field is not as large, it is I
equally as important as the low
priced field. I" deciding to enter the |
moderate-priced tield, Dodge Broth- j
ers felt themselves io be peculiarly
well litted for operating in this
branch of the industry. Equipped in
every way to turn out large quantities
of well-built cars, Dodgo Brothers
efforts have been confined from the
first to establishing a /new standard
In automobile values, selling at. a
price within reach of every motor car
PU FoVtowing the public exhibition of
Dodge Brothers' car in Detroit cars
were shipped to New ork
and other large centers. According
to William L. Colt, of the Colt-Stiat
ton Company, metropolitan dealers,
Broadway has never witnessed the
duplicate of the scene enacted at theii
salesrooms on Monday last. Al
though the day was a rainy and
gloomy one, 5.233 persons by actual
count visited the salesrooms to obtain
a first glimpse of the new car. A
mechanical hand counter operated by
the doorman furnished the checking-
President Colt, of the New York
agency, had offered three prizes for
the first, second and third sales le
spectively made in the day. These
prizes were all awarded before 10
o'clock in the morning, although by
far the largest crowds attended be
tween the hours of 2 and 6 o clock
in the afternoon.
The big New York and Chicago
demonstrations were similar to the
one in Detroit, when over 6,000 people
visited the salesrooms of T. J. Doyle,
Detroit, dealer in Dodge Brothers'
car.
