Not only has the public generally voiced an opinion of their own, but buyers have expressed their confidence in the eight-cylinder as the ultimate car by actually placing orders in unprecedented numbers. tfjf The Cadillac Company is now working day and night to their utmost capacity in order to, as nearly as pos sible, supply the demand. #]T Cadillac agents are away oversold and future deliveries will have to be made in the order of their receipt. JTI We will be getting one carload a week with a further increase within a month, but the schedule now is run ning well past the first of March. JJT Do not lose any more time in placing your order for the most wonderful car in the world. CRISPEN MOTOR CAR CO. 413-417 South Cameron St. SATURDAY EVENING, MANV MOTOR GARS REPRESENTED HERE Leading Makes Shown at New York and Philadelphia Have Local Agencies | After having seen the various makes lof motor cars at the New York and j Philadelphia shows, prospective buy ers may now study their respective merits and make comparison by dem onstrations and inspection at local I dealers. The very best cars munut'ac- I til red are represented here to the number of about thirty, and most ol the models that are greatest in de mand are usually in stock. These in clude the smallest roadsters to large si and eight cylinder models, ranging in price from several hundred dollars to about 5,000. Two months of study, inspection and buying for Spring delivery will keep the local dealers busy until tho local show opens in March. Then I there will be a great rush by those who want immediate deliveries to take advantage of beautiful Spring days. To insure early deliveries it is always advisable to place orders at this time of year, as hundreds of | dealers in all parts of the country are | equally as anxious to secure deliveries fir their customers as the local deal ers are to please buyers In this terri tory. The principal points of inter est on most of the local models are paragraphed in this issue, and an nouncements by dealers. BI'ICK 1 lottenstein & Zeck, with demon strators on display at the City Auto Garage, are local representatives for the Bulck. % Newly designed bodies, * radiators rounded at the top, sloping hoods and generally improved in appearance, are the distinctive features of 1915 Buick models, which, in general mechanical construction are a continuation of the 1914 models. Tungsten-steel valves have replaced nickel-steel ones, while multiple steel piston rings; are used In place of in-j dividual rings in each groove. An other slight motor alteration is the lengthening of the pistons, so as to give a greater bearing surface and to elminate any possibilities, of piston slap. P.uicks use the combination Delco unit for ignition, lighting and crank ing. A special feature in connection with the electric system in the new cars is the complete inclosure of all wires within conduits. OLDSMOBILE The Kast End Auto Company, in charge of RoSs C. Barrett, is agent for the Oldsmobile in this section. The Oldsmobile big six comes only in seven-passenger body. The five-pas senger body formerly fitted to the six chassis has disappeared. In outward appearance the six has been changed by sloping the body to meet tjie hood, which is also sloped. The four is nearly the same throughout as when first it appeared, but it now has a roomier body, giving more leg room. This has been accomplished by adding I three inches to the rear of the ton neau. PAIGE The Riverside Garage, rear of 1417 Front street, is sales agent for the Paige in this territory. The large and modern service station is owned and managed by George K. Bentley. Con tinuing the four-cylinder Paige 36 with practically 110 change and add ing a six, which is of exceedingly at tractive appearance, the Paige-Detroit Company enters the 1915 year well equipped. The new six the first to come from the concern's shops, is a luxurious car of advanced streamline type, having a capacity for seven and mounted on a chassis of 124-inch wheelbase. Its motor is a 3'i by 5 ',4 unite power plant type. The bodv lines are somewhat on the order of the European boat de signs, the slope of the cow 1 being al most flat and meeting the bonnet line without change in curve. The top edges are rounded over, no upholster ing coming over these edges. KING The King comes out this year with an eight-cylinder motor and attrac tive style of streamline body. This car is represented in this city by the King Car Sales Company, at 80 South Cameron street, W. T. Keister, pro prietor, and J. Robert Barr, sales manager. The motor, which is of the V-type with cylinders mounted 011 the crank case at 90 degrees to each other, and in blocks of four, has a bore of 2% and a stroke of 5. the S. A. E. rating I being 24.2-horsepower. The engine weighs little more than the four-cylin der King and has practically the same length over all. Due to these features it is installed in nearly the same chassis as that used for the four. JEFFERY i Continuing Its four-cylinder chassis j practically unchanged, the Thomas B. ' Jegery Company, Kenosha, Wis., has i added two new sixes, one called the Chesterfield, and the other the Ches iterfield big six. Tho former lncor j porates many new features, such as j worm drive axle, cantilever rear {springs, Emplco speedometer drive. ; Stewart vacuum feeder and three ; phase dry disc clutch, in place of the one which the ocmapny has been using on the past season's models. ; Another feature m this model Is the ; use of a Daimler leather universal : between clutch and four-speed gear ! box. The use of a leather joint is somewhat new in America, but Is a j tried-out European feature, having ben in use for several years by the | Daimler Company on its Knglish car and by the Isotta Company. The Jef fery is represented in Harrisburg by the' Bent-Landis Auto Company at 1808 Logan street. REO This year the Iteo. represented by the Harrisburg Automobile Company, distributors for Central Pennsylvania, discontinues its one-model policy, and adds a six-cylinder model to its' im | proved editions of the four-cylinder 1 car which it has been making for several years under the name of Reo the Fifth. The new Reo adheres, In ! a general way, to characteristic prac : tlce of this company, this being true more especially in the motor. Sream 'line bodies grace booth chassis. Some of the special constructional features of this new car six, which has 122-inch wheelbase, are the spiral bevel gears used in the floating rear axle and the cantilever rear springs, i which are attached to the frame and axle housing in the regular way. In HARRISBURG !&£££& TELEGRAPH V V ■ • /■* V.: ' INDIAN MOTORC YCLE-RIOT GUN —COMINATIOX Will travel 40 miles per hour and the gun can be fired while the ma chine is running, capacity for two passengers being provided. This model is especially designed for crosn country work. The motor is of 15-hourse power and will drive the machine 75 miles on one filling of the gasoline tank. addition to body improvements In the Keo the Fifth, which make for better upholstering and more roominess, there are such important alterations as the Increase of the wheelbase from 112 to 115 inches, the use of a now cylinder design with independent ex haust ports, the addition of friction surface to the disc clutch, the nonrat tling support of the brake mechanism 'and the improved starting mechanism doing away with shifting of gears. HI'PMOBIIJK The Hupmobile. represented by E. C. Ensminger, distributor for twen ty-four counties in Central Pennsyl vania, comes out this year with an en tirely new car at $1,200. This dis places the Hupmobile of 1914. Tt is larger anl more powerful and there is hardly a feature that is not new. This season marks the entry of the Hup Company into the ranks of left drive and center control users. The wheelbase of the chassis has been in creased from 106 to 119 inches. The bore has been increased 14-Inch, mak ing the dimensions of the power plant now 3.375 by 5.5. The waterjackets are larger, the valve diameter in creased, connecting rods much longer, bearings made larger, ports wider and the manifold entirely digerent. While the Zenith carbureter still is employed it now is horizontal instead of ver tical, and 1.25, instead of 1-inch size. VCT/CAN The new model touring car and roadster of the Vulcan Is expected at the Penbrook Garage service station Monday or Tuesday of next week. This is the new "35" entirely remodeled and improved. The principal features of the Vulcan are unit power plant, j multiple disc clutch, four-cylinder Imotor cast en block. 3%x5V4. 33 to 38 horsepower, single unit Westing house starter and Westinghouse sin gle unit ignition and generator, selec tive type transmission with three speeds forward and one reverse, left hand drive and center control, heavily crowned fenders, one-half illiptjc springs in front and contilever in rear, one-man top, pure streamline body, I full five-passenger 011 touring, with electric headlights and dimmer, tall and dash, are other salient points on this $975 car represented by the Vul can Motor Company of Harisburg. METZ A touring car model in addition to the popular little roadster, is the leading feature of the Metz this year. Put together in the approved Metz way, and in its lines and general fin ish it is one of the most attractive and stylish appearing cars seen on the road. The new touring model has 105-incli wheelhasef full elliptic springs; Gray % Davis electric lights and starter system! flush doors and stream line linish. The engine is a four-cyinder 25-horsepower water cooled motor, with Bosch high-tension magneto and A. W. T. carburetor. This friction-drive and gearless trans mission type of car has proven a pop ular seller and established extraor dinary road records. The tournlng model will sell for 600 completely equipped, a demonstrator of wutch is expected shortly by Monn Brothers, local representatives at 16.17 Swatara street. A service station will soon be opened at the now garage being erect ed between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, in rear of Lenny's picture the ater. HAWKS The sales agency for the Haynes cars has been assumed by George 11. Rob erts, of Steelton, and C. K. Holn, of this city, with salesroom and service sta tion at the Central Garage, at 334 Chestnut street. The Haynes cars for 1915 consist of a smallej' six, at $1,485, new to the line, while the larger six model 31-ti, and tho four, model offered last year, are still to be had. The electric gearshift featured last season is made optional equipment on the improved models, and not on the new cars, which will come through with the gearship hand-opera ted. The new six has a 121-inch wheel base and the gear of the frame Is form ed Into a high arch over the rear axle. This construction has resulted in al lowing long, flat, uemi-elliptlc springs to he used. A departure from former Haynes practice Is seen in the motor, which Is a block L-liead casting, 3% by 5. A new type of dry-disk clutch, an en tirely new body, a Stewart vacuum gasoline feed, are the other notable features of tills llayiies six. 11LOSON The Hudson Sixes are sold here kry I W. Dill, who has placed a large num ber of these well-ltnown cars. Hudson continues to make its two nixes with detail changes mechanically, these being principally in the leader, the smaller model, known as the Slx-40. They are very little altered from the past season, meeting the demands of a class of buyers which desires the big ger types of machines. A landau-limou sine has been added to the body styles of the Six-40. The general mechanical layout o. the Six-40 and the outward appearance are the same practically as last season, al though several detail changes have been effected, such as the use of a block casting for the six cylinders, In stead of their being east in groups of three. This makes It possible to elimi nate an external Intake manifold, the gas distribution from the carbureter being by cared passages In the cylin der casting. Due to finer balance of reciprocating parts and to an Increase of one-elghth-lncli to the crankshaft diameter, the horse-power has been augmented, it ranging from 40 to 47, this attained by the resultant smoother running action. DODGE The Dodge Brothers' car Is expected at the Keystone Motor Car Company Monday or Tuesday of next week. Tills model Is a sturdy five-passen ger of 110-lneli wheelbase. The motor is 3"4 by 4Which lias 21 S. A. E. horsepower, while the body is an ex- Hmple of trim lines and is made en tirely of steel, even to the cowl dash. The body frame, as well as the panels, have no wood in them. A pleasing curve is given the domed fenders, which meet the clear running boards ln substantial fashion. The equipment Is most unusual for a car in the popular-priced field. Briefly summed up, it includes real leather up holstery, chrome-vanadium steel spring of the self-lubricating type. | Timken bearings throughout, chrome- 1 vanadium steel gears, one-man top, I North Kast electric starting and light ing system, and, it Is said, the almost exclusive use of drop forgings in the manufacture of the car. The car is a roomy five-passenger machine and has a wheelbase of 110 inches. Nonskid tires are furnished on the rear wheels. * CHEVROLET This is another popular model rep resented by Hottenstein and Zech, at the Clt.v Garage. Chevrolet is in the ranks with two chassis—a four and a six. The former carries either roadster or touring body, while only the touring type is fitted to the six-cylinder chassis. With roadster body and styled the Royal Mail. With practically no mechanical change 1 lie body of the six Is redesign ed and streamlined so as to be roomier than it was. 111 the four-cylinder chas sis the wheel base has been lengthened two inches to 106 inches, ami the brakes have been made more powerful by an increase in diameter of two Inches to twelve inches. RBGAIi I. W. Dill has the Regal line of cars for this vicinity. Regal has discontinued its under slung type and the 1914 overhung model as well, and is making only one four-cylinder chassis, this having little in common with previous Regals. Thus the new chassis marks tho pas sage of the underslung construction from the Regal shops, the same low center of gravity now being obtained on all cars by the use of spring hung from the under side of the axle. An eight-cylinder model has been announced by the Regal Company, a demonstrator of which will be here in time for the local show. STUDHBAKER The East Knd Auto Company, at Lin den and Shrub streets, are sales agents for the Studebaker line in this city. Both the four and the six Stude bakers of the 1914 season have been continued tills year. While they are the same In all the main features as the previous cars, there have been many alterations in the way of refine ment throughout the chassis, bodies and equipment. The result is that the cars are larger than before. ln both motors, an increase of 15 per cent, lias been made possible in the maximum power by reducing the weights of the reciprocating parts and altering the manifold design. CADII.LAC The Crispen Motor Car Company a? .11l South Cameron street, have placed a great many Cadillacs In this terri tory, and built an excellent service sta tion to properly care for the cars. The most radical change In American motorcar construction since the advent of the six-cylinder power plant is pre sented by the Cadillac Motor Car Com pany, which Is now building eight cylinder cars only and is the first American concern to adopt this kind of motor. It is a V type eight, 3'4 by 5>4 and of highspeed type. The other new features in the chassis are: The wheelbase has been increased from 120 to 122 Inches. Instead of right drive and control, left drive with cen ter control lias been adopted, c I though the hinged steering wheel is retained. A disc clutch has replaced the former cone and the gear set now is a unit with the power plant, instead of being located amidships, as in former Cadil lac construction. In place of the straight bevels used formerly in the rear axle, sprlngbevel gears are now used. MAXWELL E. W. Shank is distributor for tlie Maxwell cars in this territory, with display room at the Central Garage, 334 Chestnut street. This car, selling at $Gy5 for the touring model and $670 for the roadster, has met with remark able success under the present man agement of the Maxwell Motor Com pany at Detroit. Seventeen new fea tures are embodied in the 1915 model. As a ear selling below the SI,OOO mark, the .Maxwell lias high tension magneto, sliding gear transmission, left-hand center control, antiskid tires on rear and full stream-line body. Gray and Davis electric starter and electric lights may be had at an additional cost of $55. This year the company lias ar arranged for a production of 60,000 cars to meet the demand of the deal ers. Only one chassis is built, but a cabriolet is Included in the body de signs ln addition to the regular flve- I passenger touring and roadster model. ■N We Extend to You a Most Hearty Invitation to Visit THE NEW HOME of THE UAYNEC America's Greatest Light Six NOW SOLD AM) DISTRIBUTED —BY— Roberts & Hoin SALESROOM 334 Chestnut Street (Central (iurnge) Arranjje Fop Demonstration L JANUARY* 16, 1915. || Ib« New Vulcan 35 j || The Ultimate in Motor Car Value ii I'nit Power Plant—Mutiple disc dutch.
