as a part of the interesting exhibit of
historical early-model motor cars dis

This -was a two-cylinder steam car
with a bore of about 3*4 inches and a
stroke of about 3 ',4 inches. The cat
was built by Mr. Coffin with his own
hands in the engineering shops of the
University of Michigan, during the lat

The body was constructed in one of

Issues Warning Against
Buying Quart of Ink With
Directory as a Premium
One quart bottle of ink. with a busi
ness directory of Harrisburg for a dol
lar, paid in advance, was sold to many
businessmen yesterday.
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce takes exception to the price of
the ink, which they say is of an infer
ior quality and because the directory
is an uncertainty, sent out the follow
ing post card to its members:
Warning!
A quart bottle of out-of-town ink
and a classified business directory of
Harrisburg and vicinity yet to be pro
duced are being peddled to local peo
ple at SI.OO.
We don't indorse the directory.
! Every • standard ink —those whose
j qualities are known ean I>o bought of
( Hawisburg dealers at the same or :i
: less price, depending on exact grade,
i than which out-of-town people offer.
Civic duty and business sense both
i suggest the wisdom of buying from a
, responsible local dealer. Let us buy
• at. home and make this a poor town
I for peddlers, etc.
The needs of legitimate Harrisburg
I charities prompt us to urge that they
| be considered before denatons are sent
out of town. Be loyal to Harrisbiirs!

was Anally purchased by the Hudson
Motor Car Company between three and
four years ago and is now preserved
in Mr. Coffin's garage at Grosse Pointe
Farms, near Detroit. The car had a
boiler and engine of considerably larg
er capacity than did other cars butit
about the same time, and was capable
of developing much higher speed on
the road.
Previous to the construction of this
steam car, Mr. Coffin built a gas en
gine in the university engineering
shops, but the gas engine of those days
was so crude, and the steam engine
seemed to be so much more depend
able that most of the engineers prior
to 1900 thought that the horseless ve
hicle of the future would be equipped
with a steam engine.
The building of this steam car six
teen years ago led to Mr. Coffin's as

American play love, laughs, mystery
ainl thrills. Into an Illuminating nar
rative of customs frauds and secret ser
vice methods the author has woven an
absorbing story of a woman's love and
an exciting battle of wits. The play is
based upon the efforts of the customs
authorities to discover the smuggler
of a necklace valued at $300,000, but
they are handicapped by the social and
political prominence of those under
suspicion. "Under Cover" reaches Its
denouement In an Ingenious and sur
prising climax that has caused it to be
come one of the mist widely discussed
of plays.—Advertisement.
