SATURDAY EVENING,
a greatly stimulated demand for all
types of Cadillac enclosed cars.
"At present there is every indica
tion that this will be the heaviest
closed car season we have ever ex
perienced." says Mr. Howard. "The
demand for cars of the coupe, sedan
and limousine types is greater by far
than the largest in past seasons.
"There is no doubt that this condi
tion is very largely due to the eight
cylinder motor. We note particularly
that in a surprisingly large number
of instances, orders for Cadillac Eight
| closed cars are coming from people
who already are the possesssors of
luxurious and costly limousines, etc.
We knew, of course, that the public
interest in the Cadillac Eight is al
most unbounded, but we had no
thought that it would induce the peo
ple to give up or dispose of perfectly
good cars in order that they might
possess ours."
SEEING MCI
IN A HUDSON SIX
Denver to Los Angeles by railroad,
with Pullman berth, cost SIOB for two
I people, but it has just been done by
I automobile for s9l all told, besides the
pleasure of "Seeing America" in the
right way.
This remarkable economy record
was established by W. H. Todd and his
wife on a trip from the Colorado capi
tal to San Francisco and Los Angeles
in a Hudson Six-40.
I The camping outfit which Mr. Todd
has his Hudson equipped with is prob
ably the most complete ever carried
across America, and the only night
spent under a roof on the entire jour
ney of 2,614 miles, was at San Fran
cisco when they visited the exposi
tion.
Tiie route followed by the Todd
party was from Denver to Cheyenne
and through Southern Wyoming over
the Lincoln highway to Ogden. There
they diverted to the old Overland trail
around the north end of Great Salt
Lake and crossed Nevada through Hel
ton. Lucin and Winnemucca.
"Never again." said Mr. Todd in
speaking, of that part of his route.
"Tell everyone coming from the East
on the Lincoln highway to stick to
the official route from Salt Lake City
to Ely and then through Austin and
Fallon to Reno, and don't go via the
north end of the lake over the old
Overland route, for 1 believe it is the
worst road to be found in America.
"•We first plowed through miles of
alkali dust approaching the lake and
then around the north end there were
forty miles of hub-deep greasy mud.
That was followed by days of deep
sand work, over ridges and through
canyons, until our whole persons radi
ated salty sand from every pore.
"The heat, too, was terrific all the
way across this great stretch, justly
called the Great American Desert, anil
the combination of strenuous work,
grades, sand and heat was one grand
test for our sturdy old car.
"We met some parties at Reno who
had just arrived from the official Ely-
Fallon route and they had a quick,
clean trip and found the main Lin
coln highway in excellent condition.
"It was a great relief to reach the
California line and the good roads
over the Sierras. The scenery around
Lake Tahoe is magnificent and that
alone would have fully repaid us for
the really desperate work of the north
ern route around Salt Lake.
"If we had not had a thoroughly de
pendable car in that difficult part of
our journey I guess we would have
been there yet. At it was, we just
plowed along through thick and thin,
and finally reached the end after a
week of steady struggling.
"Our economy Record with the Hud
son is remarkable, and for the benefit
of thousands who will motor ocross
America next year, let me recommend
J that everyone take a complete outfit
and live right in the open. It greatly
benefited our health and at the same
time kept our expenses down to the
minimum. Our tire troubles consisted
of one puncture only for the long
journey, and that happened right at
Conejo Grade just this side of Ven
j tura.
! "By camping out we lived on less
than four dollars a day, including gas
and oil for the machine. Hy the way,
we got an average of fourteen miles to
the gallon of gasoline with our Hud
son Six. except through the mud near
I Salt Lake and the deep sand pulling
in Eastern Nevada, and there the
average dropped to eleven miles to the
gallon because of so much second gear
work.
"We consider this a quite remark
able record and certainly shall use our
Hudson n preference to a railroad on
every possible occasion in the future."

IKE SAXON racy
Wonderful Success of Car First
Year Assures Saxon Dealers of
Big Business Next Season
The Keystone Motor Car Company
will represent the Saxon Motor Com
pany in this territory for another year.
They have completed their contract
with the company and are now ready
to make deliveries on any model Sttxon
desired, with the exception of the tour
ing car. Delivery dates on this model
have not been given out, but will pre
sumably be about next March. This
season marks the beginning of the
Keystone's necond year as Saxon rep
resentative in liarrjsbur g.
Their success with the tar during
its Initial season prompted them to lie
among the first dealers to apply for a
contract for next year. Their record
as Saxon salesmen made this decision
easy for the company. "There are
hundreds of persons in this territory
who will eventually buy a Saxon," said
llobert 1,. Morton.
"Many of these prospects have been
watching the performance of tht
Saxon car during the past year. Some
were Inclined to disbelieve t(iat an
automobile selling for such a low price
as $395 could possibly stand up in the
crucible of service. An automobile
with standard features throughout
selling for Ave dollars under the four
hundred mark was an Innovation. We
can all remember when a bicycle sold
from $75 to $l5O. It hasn't been so
very long ago.
"Through actual demonstration tests
with the Saxon skepticism has been
changed into conviction. The car hat.
been put through endurance contests
under every possible road condition.
It has been put through gasoline mile
age tests. In all these tests it has
shown undisputed rights to be called
'Saxon.'
"The Saxon Motor Company wilt
market a six-cylinder touring car in
the near future, detailed specifications
on which will be given out a little
later on.
"The Saxon company has one record
of which it is very proud. It shipped
more cars in its first year than any
other automobile industry. For this
year the production will be greatty
increased. In fact, the price of the
new 'Six' is based upon a yearly vol
ume of 25,000 cars."
Hanes Makes Record
Pleasing to McFarland
In speaking of the Haynes showing
in the economy contest, George Mc-
Farland said:
"In the economy contest on Thanks
giving Day, the light six Haynes, sold
by the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany, covered itself with glory from
stem to stern, even though it did not
win the cup. One car with a passen
ger toad of 951 pounds, equipped for
touring purposes, covered the distance
of 111 miles on exactly five gallons of
gasoline. 22 2-5 miles to the gallon.
The other Haynes, owned and driven
by Andrew McElwain, of Newville,
with a passenger load of not quite as
much, consumed, over the same
course, four gallons, two quarts and
a half pint, averaging 24 1-3 miles to
the gallon.
"There was no unusual or extraordi
nary adjustment done or made on
either of these cars or carburetors.
The carburetors were merly adjusted
to get the most efficient mileage out of
the gasoline consumed. The records
of both these cars are more than
gratifying because it is one that can
be made by any owner under the same
conditions at any time and is not a
factory test reported with the car
weighed down to practically nothing.
The roads were in excellent condition
and of the average kind found in this
section of Pennsylvania, a goodly
sprinkling of hills and one small
mountain to crawl. The rate of speed
was about twenty miles an hour, the
safe and sane touring speed. The
test demonstrates that the contention
of the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany and the Haynes Automobile Com
pany, that their Model 30 light six
Haynes, selling for $1,485, is the
easiest six-cylinder car in the country
on gasoline. When you can get from
twenty to twenty-four miles on a gal
lon of gasoline with five passengers,
it pays the public to buy an automo
bile of this character.
"We acknowledge that the carbur
etor on the Haynes is of a remarkably
line type not usually found on a car
of this price, the ltayfield, and that
the Haynes is constructed from ra
diator to rear axle of the very best
possible material, all of which is in
perfect alignment and bearings
ground to a mecrometer fit. There
isn't any doubt but that the Haynes
is built not just to sell but to make
the owner more enthusiastic than own
ers generally get, and to have his en
thusiasm increased instead of de
creased. Many a man is greatly pleas
ed with his car when he gets it, but
has a different tune to sing six or nine
months after he has owned it. It is
not that way with the Haynes. The
longer the customers have Haynes
cars the better pleased they are.
"Our contention that the Haynes is
the best and lightest six-cylinder car
made at' the present time, that it will
go up any hill faster at high gear,
faster at second gear, faster at low
gear, also slower at high gear and
that it will go farther on a gallon of
gasoline than any other six-cylinder
car of any weight made, has been
proven under expert and mechanical
tests by the economy run just finished.
When we made these statements some
time ago we made them because wo
knew they were correct. When he
make them now, we make them be
cause the public knows they are cor
rect. We are very well pleased with
the Haynes. We knew what It would
do and it has done it."
ALL-YEAR-ROUND TOURING
Motorlxt* Nun Knjoy Two t'ar» at
Mlifht Additional Cunt
"Almost every motorist," said F. J,
Mooney, sales manager of the Hupp
Motor Car Company, "realizes that an
automobile is more of a necessity dur
ing the winter and stormy weather
than in the summer months. The duties
that the motorist has to perform during
the months of the year when the streets
are covered with snow and ice. are just
as Important as the daily routine at
that time of the year when touring is
more of a pleasure.
"For the doctors and professional
men who are daily out-of-doors; for the
social duties of the ladies and their
shopping tours —the motor car in win
ter. is an indispensable adjunct. But
it ofttimes happens that the motor ear
owner Is not inclined to afford the ex
pense and upkeep of two iistinct cars
—an enclosed car for winter and an
open car for summer. This lias been
the main reason jwhy the Hupp Motor
Car Company has hit upon the happy
idea of building removable tops for
converting the touring car and roadster
Into Sedan and coupe enclosed cars. I
"This winter. Hupmobiles are becom
ing very popular all over the country.
With the attachment of the removable j
tops, the Hupmobllist enjoys all the !
luxuries of the most expensive enclosed
cars, at a very reasonable cost. The
topo are Bound-proof, absolutelv noise
less. and have a very pleasing Interior
appearance, as they are llneii with
very high-quality fawn-colored head

the windows are ventilating, and. In
fact, the Redan and Coupe Hupmobiles
have all the appointments of luxury."

Details of New Saxon
Six-cylinder Touring Car
Many unlooked for features are
contained in the new Saxon "Six," the
details of which have just been made
known by the Saxon Motor Company.
At $785 this car is the lowest priced
"Six" in the field, and at the same
time it has numerous features that
have been found only in cars selling
at $1,200 or more. In fact, it pos
sesses many points not found in other
cars of either six-cylinder or four
cylinder construction below that price.
The new Saxon "Six" is not in any
sense a small car, but a five-passenger
touring car of generous size, with
112-inch wheelbase. It is the only
car below $1,250 with a -wheelbase as
long as this.
The move of the Saxon Motor Com
pany in producing this new "Six" is
significant, as it is recalled in the
trade that the Saxon company created
a sensation a year ago by producing
the first four-cylinder two-passenger
car at a price below $4 00.
Coincident with the announcement
of this new model comes the informa
tion that the Saxon Motor Company
has closed negotiations that will give
greatly increased factory space and
facilities during the coming year. The
building formerly occupied by the
Abbott Motor Car Company in De
troit will shortly be taken over by the
Saxon company so as to allow for
the increased production which is
planned for the 1915 season. The
output of the two-passenger roadster
will be doubled. The price of the
Saxon "Six" is based upon an output
of 25,000 cars.
Among the unusual features in the
new Saxon model are Its six-cylinder
long stroke, high speed motor, devel
oping 30 to 35 horsepower, electric
lighting and starting system as stand
ard equipment, speedometer, three
forward speed transmission, 112-inch
wheelbase, 32x3% inch tires, de
mountable rims, streamline body of
full five-passenger capacity and stand
ard or 60-inch tread.
The six-cylinder motor is of the I>-
head type, with cylinders cast en bloc.
This motor is of special Saxon de
sign and develops 35 horsepower on
block test. Valve heads are of nickel
steel. The crank shaft is 1 % inches
in diameter, of special drop f6rged
steel, with three bearings. The oil
ing system is of the splash type with
pump circulation leading to the main
