Fortunately the two buildings ure so close that ;t is convenient to go from one show to the other. The display at each show consists of the leading makes of motor vehicles, accessories and sup j plies. At the Arena building at Third 'and Delaware streets are twenty ex , hlhits, twelve different makes of cars. Included arc a number of the finest of exhibit chassis shipped here direct from j the New York, Boston and Brooklyn j motor shows, such as are displayed PAIGE SIX AMONG SEASON'S NEWEST : rAlbt oIA AIVIUNI) ;j SEASON'S NEWEST ;| > Claimed to Set a New Standard at Its Exceptional Price Along with other noted cars in the Paige line, a new star, the Paige Six 4G will be featured at the Arena show. | This will be. the lirst chance afforded to the Harrisburg public to study this j important new model, which is claimed [by the company to set a new stand j arc! at the price. The body design of this new "Six" is exceedingly striking, being of the most advanced streamline type, which is en hanced by the rounding body, tapering i hood and "V" type radiator. The me j ohanical units of this car are worthy of note, namely. Cantilever springs. 1 Gray & Davis, electric system, Bosch | magneto, Paige-Continental motor, etc. The Paige exhibit will be unusually interesting to the individual buyer, as 1 the cars displayed are regular stock machines, showing exactly what a pur chaser buys. The investigator can see at a glance the silent spiral gears that make up the drive for cam shafts, water pump, generator, etc. The motor is cut away > so that the cylinder walls and pistons I are visible, also the crank shaft and j connecting rods. In fact, all the vi | tals of the engine are exposed to view, j George R. Bentley, of the Riverside garage, said: "We believe the Paige Six is equal to the task, and we fur i her believe we are justified in calling tan 'epoch making' car. Our reason or this belief is based on the matter f comparative values rather than on iny sensational mechanical device in cluded in the car." Bowman's Tire Dept. Has New Location | Few auto supply houses can boast of making such rapid strides in build ing up a huge business and serving I the public in a satisfactory manner. !as Cowman's Department Store has made. ( From the time of the first announce ; ment, calling attention to "A Tire and i Accessory Department," which was ; newly opened, remarks have been go ing the rounds about the fine stocks of ;tires —all guaranteed makes —and their willingness to give the best service : possible. One of the main features that char acterizes this department, is their of |fer to meet all emergencies in case of a breakdown or other misfortune to patrons no matter where they may j be. Time and again, a hurry call was received out in the country, and tm | medtately a machine was dispatched I to the scene to give necessary assist -1 ance. ] The Tire and Accessory Department ' now occupies a new location —just off ] the elevators on the third floor—just a minute from the street, and that I minute spent in reaching this depart ' ment has repaid many a purchaser in ; the satisfaction they received, both as !to price and accommodation. While they feature splendid makes, such as Kelly-Springfield. Goodyear, Xassau and Capitol tires, they ask a (comparison of prices. THE COMFORTER ! Silent is the house.

The decorations are in blue and gold and every effort has been put for ward to make the show as fine as has ever been staged in Harrisburg. A fea ture of this show is a famous harpist, Joseph Oortesc, of Philadelphia, ac companied by Arthur I. Rubin, violin ist of this city. This show is conducted under the auspices of the Harrisburg Automobile Dealers' Association, and is the sixth annual eveut and will be open from 10:30 a. m. to 10:30 p. in. At the Kelker street hall are thirty exhibitors, including twenty-four dif ferent makes of cars, a splendid va riety in motor car construction, in cluding ears known throughout the world, as well as many of the new SHIPPING CARLOADS OF REOS TO DETROIT Automobile Center of World De mands Large Numbers From Other Cities pBMf R. C. RUESCHAW "That old wheeze about carrying coals to Newcastle was alright in its time," says R. C. (Reo) Rueschaw, "but when you ship automobiles to Detroit, I think it's going some. "The tremendous inrush of orders that began the middle of February and had developed into a veritable tornado by March first, is certainly most gratifying to us: but the one tele gram which causes greater glee at the Reo factory than any other of the thousands with which the dealers have burned up the wires, was that one from our Detroit dealer saying, 'Ship six carloads Reos per day every day until otherwise instructed.' "We have always been proud of the fact that Reo sells more cars in the State of Michigan than any other con cern, with a single exception, and our big business in Detroit has always been a source of great satisfaction to us. "To ship eighteen Reos every day from Lansing into the automobile cen ter of the world, surely is an indica tion of quality in the product—for De troiters know an automobile as Ken tuckians know a horse, and they cer tainly make a lot of mighty fine cars there themselves. "To say that we are enthusiastic over the present business situation is to put it mildly," continued Rueschaw. "In all our history, I have never known the retail business to open so early, or the demand to be so great. Carload orders used to constitute an important event in a day in February or March of previous years. To-day, the only thing that excites any interest at the Reo factory is a 't. f.' order such as ithat from Detroit—'Ship so many car tloads of Reos per day every day.' ! "Boston has been taking four car ! loads of Reos every day lor some time I —and hollering for more. The stand ing order from Chicago is for ten car loads per day—but without robbing other points we have to let Chicago ask for as many as it needs, but be satisfied with its quota of the output. "For the past three weeks, orders have been coming in at the rate of two hundred cars per day—and we iare running a double shift at the Reo i plant now and shipping one hundred I and twenty-five cars a day. That's one hundred per cent, more than at ' the same time last year. When you !consider the pri«-e of the cars and the jgross volume of the overturn, it is 'big business." "Nor is the demand confined to any 'one section of the country. Dakota is {exchanging its wheat; lowa its corn; ! Kansas its livestock, and the Eastern I States their readymade dollars, with j equal enthusiasm for Reos." ones that will be of interest because of their first showing in this section. • A speelni effort has been put fortl) by the management of this show to make the decorations and lighting effect at tractive beyond any previous effort of Manager Johnson. The Kelker street, 1 show will be open from 10:30 a. m. to 11 p. m. An orchestra will play every afternoon and dancing will be a fea- ! ture of the evening program. The Kelker street show is under the aus pices of the Capital City Motor Deal ers' Association. Both exhibitions will show in strlk- I ing fashion the care which the motor < car designers have had for the com-! fort of passengers and the rapid de- i velopment of the motor car industry. I OFF-BROOKS NEW MODELS WITH KIPP Line Includes a Six-Fifty, Four- Forty and Four-Twenty-five Model I Among the exhibits not heretofore I shown at the local automobile shows are the Herff-Brooks models at the Arena show, represented by James K. Kipp, distributor for Dauphin, Cum berland, Perry and Juniata counties. A large number of these models are in use in this section, and increasing in numbers since Mr. Kipp assumed the aggressive management of the agency. In part the contract allot ment for a year was exceeded in six months and the prospects are that he will sell more than double the number agreed upon. One of the Herff-Brooks models is owned by Chester B. Leach, of New Cumberland, who took an ex tensive tour on his wedding trip, aver aging nineteen miles to every gallon of gasoline used. The Iterff-Brooks comes in three models, the 6-50, the 4-40 and the 4-25. The llerff-Brooks Corporation of; Indianapolis, which during the last! two years has made a decided sue-1 cess of its six and four-cylinder cars, i announced at the Chicago show a new Bight Four, called the lierff-l Brooks "25'' which they offer at $765. The announcement was more or less unexpected, because it was not known that Herff-Brooks proposed entering the low-priced four-cylinder field. The car will, as in the case of the other cars, be made complete in the very large plant at Richmond. In diana. A glance over the specifica tions of the $765 Herff-Brooks re veals several novel and very interest ing features: The weight of the car is about 1,500 pounds, giving with the high speed, 25 H. P. motor, a horse power ratio of 60 pounds per horse power, which is remarkably low. The result anticipated is that, the car will be particularly easy ori tires, and show large gasoline mileage. As a matter of fact, cross country tests have shown an average mileage of 29 miles. A feature which is especially interesting in a car at this price, is carrying the gasoline tank in the rear, providing for the flow of the fuel with a Stewart patent vacuum feed. Equipment is complete, including elec tric starter and lights, one-man top, etc. Motor is four cylinder, cast en bloc, valves enclosed; a unit power plant, carrying three point support and aluminum crank case and trans mission case. Cooling Is by the ther mos syphon, through the tubular type radiator. Ignition is Atwatcr-Kent Uni-sparker. Transmission is the customary three speeds forward, and one reverse; nickel steel gears and New Departure ball bearings. Seven teen-inch steering wheel, throttle lever on tup. left hand drive, center control. The springs are interesting, showing one more instance of the ten dency toward Cantilever rear springs. Wlieelbase is ample, 106 inches. Wheels are equipped with demount able rims and carry 30x3 'a Goodyear ' tires. In view of the 1,500-pound weight of the car, the tjre capacity is more than sufficient. The color of the car is black body and running gear, with natural finish wheels. GOODFBLIiOH' AT IIO.UB [From the National Monthly.J Mr. Goodfollow bad dined out six nights in succession. On the seventh he turned up at home for the evening meal. When he was seated Mrs. Good fellow rose in her seat and addressing the othrr occupants of tin- table, said: "Children, we have with us to-night a guest of whom you all hove heard, even if you do not personally know | him. He is a man who lias a reputa tion for conviviality and cheer in I every club and cafe in the city and j this evening we arc to have the honor I and pleasure of being numbered among J the admirers of his brilliant and en- I teitaining qualities. Therefore, it Is ! with tne greatest pleasure that I pre j sent to you—your papa!" And Goodfellow has had a grouch ever since.

It proves that the materi als we put into Diamond Tires have the weight, strength and wearing qualities that combine | to give the most economical mileage in actual service. Recently we conducted a test by mail to find out whal jobbers and tire dealers had to say about 1914 Diamond Tire records. The hundreds of let ters received from them show that Diamond Tires have more than made good. These letters from dealers in all parts of the country, show that Diamond Tires in 1914 established a service record which stands supreme. We have put these let ters into a book. They furnish con crete evidence of the big mileage Diamond users get and the free dom from tire troubles they enjoy. Write to Akron, Ohio, for this remarkable book of letters.
