10 | THE \K\V 4-CYI.INDER RF.O Every Person Wanting an Automobile Under Fifteen Hnndred Dollars should ask any and every person knowing anything about an automobile, if they don't think the Reo is the best car known. We know that ninety-eight out of every hundred persons approached, whether competitive dealers, owners of cars or Reo owners, will say that it is. Hundreds and hundreds of Reo owners have made this same statement so often to the general public that it is an acknowledged fact that more ser vice is gotten out of the Reo than any other make of car. With a four cylinder, five passenger 115-inch wheel base car, equipped with nobby tread tires, one-man top, the best electrical system on earth and everything else the best at $1050.00, and a six cylinder car with 55 H. P., 122-inch wheel base, nobby tread tires, the same good electrical system, Cantilever springs, gear driven tire pump and speedometer, worm level driving gear, full floating rear axle, double ex haust manifold .and with as much quality as a car selling for a great deal more, for $1385.00. are certainly such buys that our allotment of four hundred cars for this territory will not reach around. Start the ball rolling and ask these questions. We know what the answers will be. HARRISBURG AUTO CO. THIRD AND HAMILTON STREETS President Delivers Reassuring Message on Business Outlook Sferial to The Telegraph Washington, P. C.. Pan. 30.—Presi dent Wilson delivered n reassuring inesMge to "big business" yesterday. The message was contained in a epeech to the American Electric liail wav Association, which is holding its midwinter meeting at the New Willard Hotel. In substance the message was! that suspicion in the business world j Jias been cleared away, and "big busi- ' ness" has nothing to fear from the' government, because it was big as long j as it obeyed the "rales of the track." At the outset of his address, thei President said it seemed to him that ! he could say with a good deal of conti- h \ VDODGE BROS. 1 \ and f \ SAXON / \ Motor Cars | \ KEYSTONE f \ MOTOR CAR CO. f \ 1019-25 Market Street B _ GLEKWOOD v m 15L31 ■ - ** $1395 Th» Paige Four "St;" is a car that created a record for excess value from the first day of Its announcement.

Enterprise had been checked for about twenty years, he asserted, because men did not know what wa.? to happen to them. Mr. Wilson paid tribute to the honesty and public spirit of the great majority of businessmen. He emphasized that in his opinion the great force of a country like this had to pull together. The members of the association gave the President a rousing recep tion. Many of his expressions were delivered in a droll way that brought much laughter. Nothing was more appreciated by the audience than the President's use of sporting terms in illustrating what he meant when h? spoke of playing the game according to the rules. Those who heard him frequently grew wild in their enthu siasm. EMPIRE tuner IT FEHBRODK GARAGE Two Touring Cars and Roadster in Line Selling Below One Thousand Dollars ! H. A. Fish burn, manager of the i Penbrook parage, has assumed the agency for the Rmpire motor cars In j this territory. The Empire for 1915 I continues the one chassis policy, with la marked reduction in price and in troduction of a new type in an elec trically started and lighted streamline I touring car selling for less than one I thousand dollars* This gives the com- I puny a line of three distinct cars for I the year, a roadster being carried i with the two touring cars. The new touring car is one of strik ing beauty—with its streamline body I and many points of continental de sign as well as electric starting and I lighting It stands out as a harmonious j blending of European beauty with American convenience. It has every thing to be desired for comfort, safe'tv and convenience of the motorist. Seats are set low. allowing backs of more than ordinary height. Upholster ing throughout Is Turkish type of se lected leather. All door hinges are concealed, and with the body tapering back from cowl gives a most pleasing flush side effect, completed by the limousine back. Roll crown fenders add to the general attractive appear ance. Starter button is of plunger type on dash, while all other instru ments. such as speedometer, car buretor adjustment, dash light, igni tion switch, battery indicator, light controls, etc., are assembled on an in strument board sheltered by the cowl. Remy one-unit electric system with starting, generating and ignition of magneto type with spark advance, is fitted. Not only the car itself but also the entire electric equipment, includ ing oversize storage battery is cov ered by a broad one year's guarantee. Nonskid tires are furnished on rear wheels as standard equipment, adding an essential feature of safety. Wind shield is of latest solid post, rain vis ion ventilating type, while all other equipment is complete in every detail. This model is now here for demon strating purposes. A big car at exceptionally low price for a car of its size and power is of fered in the Empire standard Model 31 nonelectric car which has com plete equipment, including mohair top. topboot, curtains. Stewart speed ometer. Prest-o-lite tank, gas head lights. oil side and tail lamps, de mountable rims, etc. This car is in its fourth season, newly improved and refined in many points of detail. Thus, option of either electric or standard ear is offered the purchaser. In addition to the touring models the line includes a roadster model fur nished either with standard equip ment or with electric starting and lighting. These cars are but a new series of the one sturdy Kmpire chassis on which these various body types are mounted. Due to the fact that this chassis, with accrued details of refine ment, has been continued for tour sea sons without change in anv basic principle of construction, is "proof of the splendic service the car has given in the hands of owners. The entire chassis is one of exceptional simplic ity. It has unit power plant with the four cylinder motor of 39» inch bore and 4'4 stroke. The remainder of the chassis is built extra heavy and sturdy for a car of this size and weight, ail gears and shafts being well oversize. The wisdom of providing such factor of safety has been shown in the repu tation for sturdiness won by the Em pire. In touring cars the gasoline tank is located under the front seat, while in the roadster it has place in the cowl. On these cars the company will dou ble production over last season to meet the demands of its dealers both at home and abroad. The Empire is now represented in practically even- part of the world, a splendid exported busi ness having been built up within the last few years. CLAIMS HIGHEST MILEAGE Theodore J. Werle. traveling lec turer for the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber culosis Association of Milwaukee claims the highest motorcycle mileage record of any rider in the IJadger State. Erie has used a motorcycle for the past three years in traveling about the country preaching the gos pel of health. In addition to him self and his companion, Werle car ries on the two-wheeler a complete camping outfit, also a stereopticon which he uses in presenting his lec tures. together with a case of slides. Yet in spite of this excess weight Werle says there is scarcely a spot in Wisconsin that the motorcycle has not taken him. RECEIVES CROSS FOR IJRAVERY Adolph Waltz, a motorcyclist ef Saginaw, Mich., was recently deco rated with the Iron Cross for "bravery jin the German army. Walt's duties las a motorcycle scout were to carry I messages between tho aviation corps and headquarters. Once, in going to the general's headquarters. Waltz's machine was shot from under him. He rolled into a ditch and was left for dead. After recovering from the shock, however, he crawled along the ditch until out of danger and then ran to headquarters and delivered the message. His bravery permitted re inforcements to be sent in time to save two German regiments from annihila tion. 151:ATS "SPECIALS" J. Warren Mooney, on the staff of Walter E. Hapgood. sport editor of the Boston Herald, tinds that with the aid of a motorcs-cle he can put it all over his rivals in gathering news. Mooney says that on the two-wheeler he can cover twice as much territory in practically half the time that is re quired by other means of travel. Last Kail he returned upon his motorcycle from the Andover-Kxeter football game in what is believed to be a rec ord for the Andover-to-Boston run, ar riving at the newspaper office long in advance of the first of the special trains. 18 Local Unions Form Federated Trades Council Permanent organization of the Har risburg Federated Trades Council un der a charter of the American Feder ation of Labor lias been effected. Offi cers elected are Levi Hammaker, presi dent; J. R. Kohr. vice-president, and Charles Grier, secretary and treas urer. The new organization proposes to have a more centralized control of la bor matters and a strong council to look after oil questions that cannot be adjusted by individual unions. All la bor organizations affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, except ing the railroad brotherhoods will probably be included in the new body. The next meeting will be February 8.

Marshall officiating. Burial will be made in the Newvllle Cemetery. A SEVENTEEN-PASSENGER REO The banners on the car, shown on the picture, are a trifle misleading as this seventeen-passenger oar isn't a stock model "Reo the Fifth." as one might Infer. Neither is it built on a standard Reo Touring Oar chassis. The car shown is one of a flock of twenty-four owned by the San Fran cisco Sight Seeing Company, the concern which has the sight seeing privi leges of the Panama Pacific Exposition. The bodies are especially made In San Erancisco to meet specifications submitted by officials and are painted the official colors. The chassis Is a stock model Reo two-ton truck and the normal load of seventeen persons is a very light one for this truck to carry—averaging only about one and a half tons of passengers. Reo trucks were selected after the most careful inspection of a great many makes and after the most severe tests, as these trucks must keep to a schedule just as accurate as that of a railroad. How to Start the Motor on Wintry Mornings "When the motor refuses to start these cold mornings, the trouble can be traced usually to the carburetor." states Roberts & Hain, distributors in this territory for the Haynes, Amer ica's First Car. More gasoline is re quired in cold weather than in weather, and the adjustment should be made accordingly. The reason is simple when it is considered that the richer the mixture of gas going into the cylinders, the more heat will be generated. , "The outside air is much colder, and consequently the heat will radiate j much faster from the cylinders than in warm weather. To get the same results from the motor, this extra loss of heat must be made up by supply ing an extra amount of fuel. The cooling system should also receive careful attention to prevent any dam age arising from freezing. The radia tor cells have very thin walls foi rapid cooling, and the lightest freeze , is liable to develop leaks. The s.\s- ; tem should he cleaned out with a solu- I tion of ordinary washing soda and wa- ; ter. and then an antifreezing solution j of some sort used.

J whose business is the painting of show cards ana large signs, uses a motorcycle to take him over the city in quest of new business. A retail shoe concern of Chicago has used a motorcycle in working out a novel advertising scheme. Mounted on the two-wheeler is a traveling show case in which the latest models of shoes are displayed. The motorcycle Is also used for practical delivery pur- I poses. "To say that I am pleased with myj motorcycle," says Lrf>uis F. Bradburn of Can'andaigua. X. Y., "is putting it j mildly. I'm tickled to death with it." | Nearly 200 riders and their friends > participated in the recent annual ban-1 quet of the Rockford (111 ) Motorcycle club. WHOLE: FAMILY RIDES One motorcycle dealer who follows' his own teachings Is James A. Mc- ! Quen, of Schenectady, X. Y. McQueen j says that lie rides his two-wheeler: practically 265 days In the year. And ; what's more, "Mrs. Mac." and their two children are strong advocates of the motorcycle. On Christmas Day the McQueens made a 44-mile sidecar; trip into the country, much of the dis- ! tance being through deep snow. And i they all enjoyed every minute of the j outing.

In the county of London, England, alone there were 33,360 machines registered, showing an increase over 1 1913 of practically 22 per cent. Subway Work Progresses Rapidly With Trucks! The quality and stability of Pack ard Commercial Vehicles is being eda quately demonstrated in this city by the Atkinson Motor Transfer comapny of Baltimore, Aid., which concern is under contract in hauling ground from the site of the new South Second street subway to a location west along the river. This concern is operating five four ton Packard trucks on this work which jare equipped with hydraulic hoist [dump bodies and are working contin uously with remarkable success. Ihe condition under which these trucks are beiTig operated owing to \\inter weather and the anture of the work is sufficient evidence as to the worth of a vehicle of this kind. These heavy duty trucks are attract ing much attention and favorable comments as they go over the route of their trip by many men represent ing various lines of business, who ■ come in contact with the trucks. Packard trucks have alreadv dem i onstrated their worth here as there ! are four owners operating seven (trucks in this city. The local man agement has announced the sale of , five heavy duty trucks since Septem ber 1, 1914.
