SATURDAY EVENING,
Maxwell Company Makes !
Gain Over Last Year
A most interesting and optimistic
report on business conditions comes
from tho Maxwell Motor Company,
and is printed herewith. Not only
does it show that the company made
big gains over last year, but also that
the company's business and produc
tion has gained every month since the
first of August.
The Maxwell Motor Company em
! ployed an average of 4,250 men dally
for the months of August, September
| and October, 1913, with an average
| monthly payroll of $296.95G.24.
! The recapitulation statement for
the same months of this year shows
IK daily average of 5,818 men, with a
j monthly payroll of $427,809.52, or an
| increased payroll of $130,853.28 per
I month.
I The thirty days of November of
this year make an interesting com
parison, and shows that business con
ditions are actually better with the
Maxwell Motor Company since the
war was declared in August. They
employed 5,727 men daily during No-!
vember of this year, as against 5,602
men in August of this year and 3,894
men in November of last year.
"When the general business condi
tions of* the country during August
and September are considered, this
showing is indeed remarkable," said
Walter E. Flanders, president of the
Maxwell Motor Company. "Maxwell
production has increased" every month
since August 1 and present plans of
the company are for a still greater in
crease."
Advantages of Using
Motor Cars All Winter
It is far better to keep the automo
bile in service throughout the entire
winter than it is to put It in storage.
The cars now built are constructed so
as to be equally as serviceable during
cold weather as during the warm sum
mer months," states George F. McFar
land. of the Harrisburg Automobile
Co.. distributor in this territory for the
Haynes, America's First Car. "When
a storage battery is allowed to stand
for any length of time, it gradually be
comes discharged even when no cur
rent is being used. It is absolutely
necessary to charge the battery every
two or three weeks during the period
of its nonuse if the battery is to come
through the storage undamaged, and
some arrangement must be provided
for charging the battery. Either the
engine in the car may be allowed to
remain idle, or the battery may be
taken to a charging station. As long
as tho car is kept in actual use, there
should be no need of this extra atten
tion if tho least care is given the bat
tery.
"When an automobile is stored
through the winter, the oil and grease
has a tendency to gum up and be
come solid, especially at points where
it is spread out in thin films. Corro
sion takes place at many points and
there is a general deterioration. It is
not safe to put any car into service
again in the Spring after it has been
stored, unless it is given a complete
overhauling, and this is an expensive
proposition. The same condition pre
vails in an automobile as in any finely
adjusted machine.
"The leading designers take into ac
count the fact that an automobile
should properly be an/all year car by
providing suitable projection for win
ter use. The electric cranking motor
will start a cold engine that would re
fuse to start if cranked by hand. The
engine is turned over more rapidly by
the starting motor. A cold engine has
lost the terror it once had for the man
who formerly had to crank by hand.
Also, from the economical side, it is
better to keep the machine in service
where it is producing results, than it
is to allow it to lose its service by al
lowing it to stand idle for several
months."

LEE ANDERSON NOW
WITH THE HOPMOBILE
As Advertising Manager, Another
Strong Link Is Added to
Hupp Organization
I.ee Anderson. advertising manager
of the Chalmers Motor Company, and
for the past five years associated with
that company, has resigned to become
advertising manager of the Hupp Mo
tor Car (Jompany. He will begin his
new duties January 1.
Mr. Anderson bring? to the Hupp Mo
tor Car Company a varied knowledge
of advertising: and selling.
His business experience started with
four years of selling and buying in re
tail lines, and selling on the road. For
five years he work through all branches
of newspaper work, leaving this field
to become assistant to Hi W. Ford,
then advertising manager of the Chal
mers Company. For five years he has
been associated Intimately with mast
ers of automobile salesmanship.
Mr. Anderson is not only well known
as an advertiser of motor cars, but is
also a close student of sales methods
and conditions in the automobile busi
ness. His familiarity with dealer, ser
vice and selling conditions throughout
the industry makes him a valuable ad
dition to the Hupp Company's organiza
tion.
"Given a good product like that of
the Hupp Company, the difference be
tween success and failure in the au
tomobile business is. it seems to me,
a matter of organization," says Mr.
Anderson. "My association . with the
Hupp Motor Car Company was brought
about largely by an appreciation of tlie
efficient organization President Drake
has built.
"I believe the purchaser of an auto
mobile to-day is, or should be, vitally
Interested in three main divisions of
organization. First, manufacturing.
There is a strong factory organization
back of the Hupmoblle. That is prov
ed by the enviable reputation of the
car. No car stands at the head of its
class year after year unless it is welt
built and high value in every respect.
"Second, sales organization. A prod
uct well sold—that is, backed by a
strong dealer organization—is usa'nlTy
a good product. Because good dealers
cannot afford to handle any but good
cars. Hupmobiles are sold on tlie right
basis-thai of the best car that can be
built for the money and the best pos
sible service to the purchaser."
"which brings up tile third organiza
tion feature of Interest to owners—ser
vice. The Hupmobile is backed bv
good service, both' from the factory
and from dealers. The service division
is strong and growing stronger with
each seaeson. 1 found in the Hupp
company always a desire to keep everv
customer satisfied—and the desire fit

UNIQUE DEVICE ON
CADILLAC CARBURETOR
Ingenious Arrangement. Supplies Jox
tra Gasoline For Quick Acceleration
One of the interesting features in
connection with the development of
the eight-cylinder motor by the Cadil
lac Motor Car Company has been the
correction of a fault comomn to prac
jtically all, if not all carburetors.
Ofttimes there is the lack of ability
on the part of the carburetor to re
spond freely and fully to a sudden
and complete opening of the throttle.
When the throttle is quickly opened,
the gasoline, flowing through the spray
nozzle, does not at once pass in suffi
cient quantity to form, with the in
rushing air, a gas of the required, ex
plosive quality. This disproportion of
gasoline and air is of hardly more
than momentary duration, but while
it exists the motor frequently mis
fires and cannot develop the power
hecessary to rapid acceleration of the
speed of the car.
The device which the Cadillac en
gineers have evolved to obviate the
condition just described is an ingeni
ous application of the plunger pump
principle, trough its action Is con
fined to a single stroke of the plunger.
When the driver suddenly opens his
throttle, the plunger automatically
forces an extra supply of gasoline
through the spray nozzle, thereby pro
viding a correct explosive mixture for
quick acceleration.

Costs Saxon Owners Only
$38.60 to Cross Continent
A trip across the continent, attended
by many exciting experiences, has just
been completed in Los Angelea by G.
W. and J. W. Logan, of Tiffin, Ohio,
who drove their Saxon car through to
the coast in the face of the worst
weather and road conditions of the
year.
The entire expenditures by the Lo
gans on their trip was $38.60. This
amount established a precedent in
economy that will doubtless hold as a
record for some time. No repairs of
any kind were required along the road,
and as the car was left in the open
each night, the gitrage expense was a
negligible quantity.
The first rough sledding occurred
near Columbus, 0., where the trav
elers met with the customary autumn
rains. The old highway became a mud
streak through Indiana, and across the
prairies of Illinois the progress at
times was almost impossible.
Entering Colorado. conditions
reached a climax up to that time. In
the mountains snow was from two to
four feet deep, while at other points
rain, slush and sleet were encountered,
but the car ploughed through.
In Utah the worst roads and the
most exciting incidents befell the pil
grims. Kain and light snows had
turned the so-called roads into quag
mires. Rivers and streams overflowed
their banks, so that the Logans had to
cross a number of them by bumping
over the ties of railroad bridges.
The Logan brothers reached Los An
geles by way of a number of Nevada
towns. They hold the record of being
the first Saxon owners to cross the
continent.

YOUR Wife Would Like
Our Coupe-Roadster—
Almost every woman who has seen
the new Hup roadster with the coupe
top has instantly fallen in love with it.
When she learns that the motor can't
stall ,her adoration is increased.
y She sits in the comfortable seat and
sees that the roof is so generously high,
and the window so far back of the seat,
that hat' brims or feathers can't be
crushed or broken.
The wide, high door make it easy for
her to get in and out.
Back of the seat she discovers a com
partment big enough to hold all the
packages she'll collect in a whole day's
shopping.
And for the afternoon party or even
ing function it affords safe, cozy trans
port to and fro, with dainty gowns and
wraps absolutely protected from wind
and wet.
