IDIICED FEATURES
New Models Show Many Note
worthy Changes For the In
spection of Autoists
The Overlands, from the light four
cylinder Model 81 to the six-cylinder
Model 82 are built throughout of the
best material obtainable, according to
Andrew Redmond, local representa
ive, all of which has been thorough
y tested in the physical and chemical
aboratories of the big Toledo plant.
The principle of quantity production
m which the cars are manufactured,
enables the maker to give each opera-
lion the very best of technical skill and
producing facilities. Each part is
made by a specialist who is able to
devote his entire attention to a single
operation. This is one of the essen
:ial economic factors in Overland pro
luction.
The point of all models which re-
ceived the first attention of the ob
server are tho graceful, strictly up-to
late body designs and a number of
inprovements which add materially to
the riding comfort and secure the
naximum of the quietness and flexi
bility of operation. All of the bodies
•onform to the most modern notions
if streamline design, having that much
lesired long and low appearance wltli
>ut any suggestion of exaggeration or
reakishness. The Overland radiator,
vith a shell consisting of a single steel
itamping, ioins the curve admirably to
he characteristic slope of the engine
lood which gradually leads back to a
beautifully curved cowl.
Tiong wheelbases have given the
'Norland designers much leeway for
he creation of roomy, comfortable
>odics in the development of which
nuch attention has been paid to in
erior refinement which have been an
special appeal to the experienced 1110-
orist. Tn the Model 80 touring car,
or instance, the storm curtains are
itored In a convenient container, plac
id directly behind the front seat,
•hminiating the usual tedium of dis
urbing the tonneau passengers every
'me the curtains are to be used. In
ill Overland models the storm cur
fiins are fastened and unfastened from !
nsidc the car.
Also a deviation is made from the
isual practice of holding the folded
lown top with leather straps. The
Jvcrlands are provided with unique
•lamps which hold the tops securely
md prevent all rattling. Doors are
lung on concealed hinges with inside
iperated latches so arranged as not
o catch the apparel of the passengers,
ho steering column is placed at the
eft with the speed control gate amid
hips and set forward of the front seat
o permit easy entrance to the front
ompartment. A switclibox is attaeh
d to the right hand side of the steer
ng column two inches below the wheel
>f .Models 80 and 82. through which i
he electric horn, lights and ignition
nay be controlled without the effort of i
tooping forward to the instrument
ioard.
Many other points of convenience
re noticeable by motorists visiting the
)verland exhibit at the Arena, Third
nd Delaware, that show forethought
nd ingenpity on the part of the Over
designers. The list of equipment
n all of the models is exceptionally
omplete including electric front, side
ml and dash lights, high tension man
eto, speedometer, windshield, top and

LOCAL MOTOR CLUB DOES
GOOD WORK FOR MOTORIST
Bosch Tells of Advantages Accruing to Car Owners in
Way of Fair Laws and Better Roads
■■r mm
mm- M
By Frank B. Bosch
President Motor Club of Harrisburg
The Motor Club of Harrisburg is
but one of the units in a great State
organization and a greater national
organization.
Membership in the local club auto
matically makes one a member of the
Pennsylvania Motor Federation and
also a member of the American Auto
mobile Association.
Through these State and national
organizations there is constantly on
guard, a large and influential body to
safeguard the interests of the indi
vidual motorist against the revenue
hunter in our State and national legis
lative bodies.
Members of our organization gen
erally, are aware of these facts. Non
members are prone to view the local
club as an organization for the ag
grandizement of the few. and there
fore display no interest in the club or
its work.
I shall briefly detail a few of the
benefits that motorists enjoy by reason
of our national. State and local or
ganizations, whereby they directly re
ceive annual monetary benefits many,
many times greater than the compara
tively insignificant dues of five dollars
per year, which is the cost of member
ship in the local club.
Tf any one factor, more than an
other, can be credited with the defeat
of the proposed war tax on gasoline,
in the halls of Congress, it is safe to
credit it to the A. A. A. This proposed
tax would have cost motorists as much
as fifty dollars py annum, which is
equal to ten ycaflr dues in the local
organization.
The State Federation at previous
sessions of the State Legislature suc
cessfully opposed proposed registra
tion increases that would have cost
motorists from ten dollars to fifty dol
lars per year, per car, more than they
now pay. In the present session there
are many obnoxious measures to com
bat that would entail on the motorist
additional expense or annoyance.
The Motor Club of llarrisburg has
directly benefited motorists in many
ways; saving them both money and
annoyance. It secured a reduction in
tolls across the local river bridges, and
that alone saves many an amount ex
ceeding the annual dues, in the course
of the year. Jt led in giving a bond
to the State against possible damage
claims, that made the building of the
river road from Division street to
Fishing Creek, a possibility. It as
sisted in the drawing of the local traf
fic ordinance, whereby the careful
driver is given the maximum of pro-
tection in his use and enjoyment of
the city atreeta. It secured the im
provement of many pieces of road
near Harrisburg. It has given to
many townships, road drags, that con
tribute to a betterment of many miles
of road and keeps them passable. It
has broken up many speed and horn
<£» PS l'i V M . been directly responsible
for the placing of scores of danger
signs in the country adjacent to Har
risburg. It has secured the posting
of numerous crossroads signs in Dau
phin and Cumberland counties. It lins
k f d i to A ave the ,aw regarding the
remo"sal of loose stones from country
roaciß better obseryed by supervisors.
rTi no, "' < to improve on many
of the things it has had started, and
Will ever be alert to see that the
things accomplished do not go back
♦ increasing zeal will endeavor
to better past records.
?° tiv ' tles .of the club are held
within the bounds of its income. We
have a membership of about four
hundred, and many of the members
reside in neighboring towns, so that
the net Harrisburg membership is but
about three hundred.
There are over one thousand cars
in Harrisburg proper and within a
circle of twenty miles radius with the
Capitol as a center there are over
twenty-five hundred cars.
We should have a membership of
at least seven hundred in Harrisburg
and with such a local membership we
could so extend the work of the club
that it should be easy to attract mem
bers to the number of possibly Ave
hundred more from surrounding
towns. With such a membership the
income would enable the club to
greatly increase its benefits to its
membership. W r e pay no salaries*
our expenses are kept to as low an
outlay as possible, so as to conserve
the income and use it to ends that
have for their object safer and pleas
ant riding.
We gladly welcome new members
who desire to unite with us and share
the burden of expense and we doubly
welcome all who by their activities
share the burden of work Involved in
carrying out the aims and objects of
the club.
We are a business organization. Our
business at all times and in all places
is to work for the interests of the mo
torist. Any of our members will be
Kind to receive and forward appliea
loiiM for membership, and our club
room in the Patriot building is open
daily where applications may be pre
sented, files of motor journals found,
ro « Jf rna l )R or route books consulted,
or information as toj*oads and routes
secured. Wo are constantly in touch
with existent' road conditions in the
territory surrounding Harrisburgf and
give such information to all in
quirers.
On May 10th, 11th and 12th we
shall run a tour east ?nd into South
Jersey and Delaware. This is to be
styled a Publicity Run. It is not a
contest of speed or endurance, but has
for its object the bringing of our city
to the mind and thought of neigh
boring sections. That we will be wel
comed is evident by the generous con
tribution of trophies from the towns
and cities along the route, there prom
ises to be a trophy for every car fin
ishing, and we hope to take with us
over one hundred cars. Can you
realize that one hundred cars leaving
llarrißburg one minute apart and run
ning at say seventeen miles per hour
will place the first car in Lebanon ere
the last car leaves Market Square - '
Picture that in your mind for a mo
ment!
Will it impress other towns and
cities that Harrisburg is "some
'burg?"
Doesn't it create in you an impulse
to go?
Then go with us. Entry blanks are
ready at the office.

Changes in Motor Design of Com
pany Gives Speedier
Machine
The keynote of Chandler construc
tion for this year is the greater power
obtained from the motor by lighten
ing the flywheel and pistons so that
better balance and great speed may
be obtained. Though the more and
stroke are unaltered, being 3 % by 5,
the reduction in weight of the work
ing part is said to result in an increase
of 10 per cent.
With this refinement of motor, and
with other smaller improvements, the
car is offered at a reduction of price,
This is for roadster or touring car,
although closed bodies of various
types were added to the line last Fall.
The open bodies are of the up-to-date
sloping type, little altered in general
design from those of the season be
fore.
The Chandler is a Cleveland-made
car and sales for this territory are
placed with Andrew Redmond, Third
and Boyd streets.
The new models are on display at
the auto show in the Arena, Third and
Delaware.
Tho Chandler Company makes a
strong point of the light weight of its
car. To obtain this end, the chassis
is simple and parts made as light as
possible consistent with their func
tions. The six cylinders are cast in
L-liead fashion in blocks of three, and
a unit power plant is obtained by bolt
ing the gearset with its center con
trol to the flywheel housing. One
change in the engine equipment is the
adoption of Rayfield carburetor. Bosch
Ignition still is used, while a two-unit
Westingliouse electric system for
cranking and lighting is- employed.
The Chandler chassis has a 120-inch
wheelbase, and rear spring suspension
is of the three-quarter elliptic type.
The drive from the motor is by an un
inclosed shaft fitted with two uni
versal, and paralleled by a torsion
arm of pressed steel. When first
brought out the car had a torsion arm
made of bar stock, but the pressed ,
steel type is lighter.
The rear axle is of floating construe- j
Hon, conveniently designed. Tires -aro
3 4 by 4 all around, and demountable
rims in addition to electric horn, Jones

Sterling Auto Tire Co.
Display of Interest
The booth of tho Sterling Auto Tire
company, presided over by Frank B.
Bosch, will have an interesting display
as usual. Special effort has been put
forth to make an exhibit comprehen
sive. and it will contain a great many
of the small sundry items uusually
found as part of the car equipment of
the prudent driver. The main feature
of the exhibit will be "Sterling" tire
and tube repair work. Mr. Bosch's
experience of 33 years in the rubber
industry furnishes ample assurance of
his qualifications in the selection of
the best materials and service ability.
• The Sterling: company have a com
plete equipment in the large building
at 1451 Zarlser street, manned by ex
pert workmen. Retread work will be
shown, such as section work on tires
and unusual work on tires and tubes.
Speaking of the Sterling organization,
Mr. Bosch said:
"Secondary only to expert, guaran
teed repair work, is the supplying of
new tires and tubes. Three years ago
I went through the market carefully
and after visiting Akron, closed for the
Miller agency. At that time the Mil
ler tire was little known, but the jeal
ous regard of the Miller company for
quality so met with my own ideas that
11 was glad to join with them, and I
[became the Central Pennsylvania dis
tributor. My shop is, to all intents and
purposes, a Miller branch. We carry
an ample stock and make any neces
sary adjustments here. The Miller
tire in the past three years has been
brought to perfection and is now in
the list of nationally advertised tires.
As an evidence of the regard of the
makers for their tire, I may be par
doned for calling attention to the new
warranty on Miller tires which became
effective March 1, 1915. Plain treads
