BELL PHONES, »£.'.* Haynes Motor Cars Striking in Design "Perhaps the most striking feature that is to be observed in the 1915 sea son models is the completeness of the ears connected with the low selling price, according to Roberts and lloin. Who are displaying the Haynes at the Kelker street ball auto show. ; "Regular equipment on new Haynes irars, at least, includes many features that were formerly counted as extra equipment.

Fours and the Six Show Improve j ments in Mechanical Details and Design In the IS 14 season the demand for j Buick ears was phenomenal. The en j tire output of 32,000 cars was sold by ' March 12. .Many improvements hare I been made in the 1915 line and at the 'same (line the price has been reduced. The nix, known as the C-56, priced jat $1,650, a reduction of $336. this !year makes its appearance as a seven- I passenger car, the extra seats folding !up from the floor boards, and so ar j ranged that there is plenty of leg: room ! for e\ erybody. The other touring car ! models will sell for SIOO leas than | last season, and the roadsters for SSO less. The revised lists read: C-55, $950; C-37, $1,235; C-24, s>oo, and the C-36, sl,l So, prices which govern jf. o. b. factory. ] All models are Delco started, with I the automatic spark control, an added feature on the C-33 and C-37, the big fours and the six. | The Delco apparatus has been 'greatly simplified by the elimination 'of the ignition relay and the cut-out I relay, the. operation now being i through the switch on the dash, I which closes the ignition and gener ating circuits. | The unit incorporates a new sys tem of current regulation which has I for its main advantage the fact that i battery charging is made easier, . causing greater output at lower j speeds than heretofore. To do this, 'the automatic spark advance and the ignition control are operated in com bination by a centrifugal governor. The regulation shows a current out ,put curve with a peak as speeds of | from 1.000 to 1,200 revolutions a min : ute. This is at car speeds of about | ten to twelve miles an hour. The ,cranliing is done by connecting the | electric unit, which is temporarily [operating as a motor, to the flywheel ; face gear, by means of pedal. The turning of switch on instrument j board starts electric motor and i slowly turns small starting gears, | making it mesh more readily with I teeth on flywheel. The pressure on I start.ng pedal meshes the gears and starts the motor. ! Tungsten valves are now standard on ail models. The claim is made f that they won't pit or leak, and that r regrindlng is made unnecessary by _ the maintenance of perfect seating. Changes in valve timing are also pre -1 vented by the wonderful Tungsten re -1 sistance. On the larger four-cylinder i. models and the six a new method of delivering the gasoline to the ear -1 buretor is employed. While the gaso -1 line tanks are still carried at the rear r and hung below the frame level, the force fed lias ben replaced by a modi fication of the Webb Jay, or Stewart n I method of vacuum feed. The vacuum * i apparatus is mounted on bosses cast s on the intake manifold, and is high s f-nough so that the fuel can flow from it to the carburetor by gravity. The device is really a method of auto matically creating a vacuum within it, ; * thus utilizing atmospheric pressure to [ send the fuel to it. This gets away i ft-oi:> all the troubles experienced with ! pressure fed due to leaks, pressure -1 pump failure and the like. The Bulck ! models will be displayed at the Kelker [ hall auto show. ; j Chevrolet Engine Has Many Exclusive Features ! The Chevrolet automobile has be -1 come a great favorite with the mo- I toring fraternity, and it has won its | way to their hearts simply through its ! own sterling merits, and not through | any effort at sensational advertising. > There are many ways in which the [ Chevrolet differs from the general run ' of automobiles. The motor is of the i valve-in-the-head type. But it differs | from the regular valve-in-the-head i motors. having a detachable head | (containing all of the valve meehan i ism), which can easily be discon [ nected, permitting the grinding of the 1 valves and removal of carbon at the ! bench. It differs from the usual valve | ln-tlie-head motor by having no valve i cages, thus doing away with 64 tin [ necessary parts, very materially redue -1 ing the weight and permitting direct ! cooling of the valves. It differs from | the ordinary valve-in-the-head mo i tors by being built with Doehler | bronze back bearings, which the ma i kers claim . are the best bearings | money can buy. I The Chevrolet car differs from the ! common valve-in-tlic-head motor in 'design, balance proportions and ac ; curacy of timing, resulting In a motor i ) which produces more power for its [ I size and weight than any other motor II in the world. It differs from most ! | valve-in-the-head motors by having a | I much smaller cylinder bore; but with I j proper port areas, perfect vaporizing |I of fuel and its peculiar method of > : vacuum exhaust, the makers claim | ' they obtain more mileage per gallon ' !of gasoline than any other motor of I its size yet produced. Chevrolet mo ; tors differ from the regular valve-in !: the-head motor in having complete ; ! ucesslbillty to magneto and generator, i with no licat interference to destroy | the efficiency of those important in i struments; the exhaust pipe also car ! ries heat away from the toeboard and ! floorboards, requiring no ventilation to i make the front part of the' car cool | and comfortable. Chevrolet motors i differ from the majority of motors by 1 having the wiring enclosed in flexible 1 metal tubing, preventing any bearing iI of the wires or soaking with oil to [ cause short circuiting. The Chevrolet ! wiring system is new and cannot be i round on any other car now on the [ market. A marked difference between i Chevrolet motors and the usual run [ of valve-in-the-head motors is the use ' of the "world's standard zenith car- I buretor, the simplest in construction, most effU lent and economical ever de signed," enabling the driver to get a mileage of 26 Vi to 30 miles on a gal lon of gasoline. These and many other features ure noticeable on mod els to be displayed by Hottenstein and Zeck at the Capital auto show in Kel ker street hall. Myers, the Tireman, Has New More Modern Plant Well-known in the automobile busi ness is the establishment of Cieorge AV. Myers, whose business concerns tires and tire repair. This business was established in 1909 at 225 Hum mel street. but it was necessary to seel; larger quarters. So to-day the establishment occupies six thousand feet in a story and a half of the build ing at Cameron and Mulberry streets. Mr. Myers aside from representing the United States and Goodyear tires, makes a specialty of vulcanizing, re treading and doing everything rela tive to the tire business, whether it concerns wholesale or retail, liis plant is equipped with up-to-date machinery and the stock comprises a completed :ine of pneumatic, and solid truck and enrrlage tires, for every vehicle where rubber tires arc used. / // fiourmcntii f II 1991 — Any Phone Founded 1871 • IGood + Good = I Better Service \ 11 When you purchase tires or other auto \ \ accessories from a Department Store that \ \ \ stands for Good Service, you'll recognize \ \ the same advantages that go with the pur \ \ chasing of other merchandise there—ad ,A \ vantages that only a Department Store i can offer.

Though the Ford bodies have been redesigned, and a sedan and coupelet. have been added to the touring, road ster and town car models, the chassis still is the well-known model T design. All the new bodies have been highly finished. This applied especially to the closed models, which are made to meet the tastes of the most exacting. The coupelet is of the. type which may have the top folded back when weather permits; but it also may bo closed so no water or snow can get in. Then it is virtually a coupe. The up holstoring is deep and windows wide in sliding sash. The sedan has two wide doors and provides seating for five, three in the rear seat and two in front on individual chair-type seats. The right hand seat is on a pivot and folds back out of the way. Wide win dow panels above the doors and in the rear make for clear vision in all di rections. The touring model shows a decided improvement in design and manufac ture thut will be of special Interest, considering that tho show in Ivelker street hall will have one of the first models to bo seen in this section. The Ford Sales company of this city have had a remarkable demand for Ford cars, and, although the re cent fire was a severe blow to the com pany, reconstruction of the building will be completed as quickly as pos sible in order to care for the immense value of business assured for the com ing season, judging by present indica tions and reports from the factory. The average interval for resurfac ing macadam roads is between six and seven years. If a sum equal to two-thirds of the original cost of the gravel surface itself is provided for renewals at six-year intervals, it should be estimated at from $l5O to $250 per mile per year. If S3O is then allowed for annual dragging and small repairs, the total annual cost of repair and maintenance of gravel roads would be from SIBO to S2BO per mil* CITY AUTO SUPPLY CO. mm. • t —f li r —r L ■, ~ r ■ ■ , , , ■ ■ . , .■ \ ■ V: . . ; > >U- , ,i . • . : • ' ; ■ :.< .< ; . ■ ' - ■ 120 Market Street, E.
