Deauty of Jeffery Design

"In their admiration for the beauty j

"The influence of women in deter- j
mining the final development of high

pronounced every year. The woman
is so often the decisive element in
making the final choice, and the luo- j

! FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Congressman Vare and Senator
McNichol Boost Governor For
the Nomination
Governor Brumbaugh is given a
boom for the Republican nomination
for President by prominent Philudel
phlaiiH In the Philadelphia Public
Ledger to-day. Pongre ;-uvian W. S.
Vare und Sen .tor James P. McNichol
Hre .speaking for him and tliey have
many who believe with them.
The Philadelphia I-iedger to-day
quotes Mr. Wire as follows: "Only
recently a leader, who himself has
been mentioned as a possible presiden
tial candidate, told me we had a great
Governor here, and, in his opinion.
Brumbaugh would be discussed along
with Whitman ns a candidate. Brum
baugh is standing for a high standard
of legislative achievement in the State.
IJis attitude on humane legislation and
social betterment for the people and
on the prohibition question is of the
kind to appeal to the nation, it ought
to be remembered there are only about
four States now that have not some
kind of temperance legislation."
"The Republican leaders yesterday
were not inclined to view with much
enthusiasm the idorsement given by
the Ohio Society at its recent dinner
in this city to the name of ex-Presi
dent Taft as a candidate again in 19 16.
"We may have a candidate of our
own then," said State Senator
McNichol. "Governor Brumbaugh may
be before the convention. He is a big
enough man for the .lob, and, although
he may not have been in the public
eye so long as some other candidates,
it ought to be remembered that Gar
field was taken up and elected, even
though he had not been before the
nation for a long time as a candidate
and 'didn't have a record,' as they
say."
Kissel Kar Company Will

The Harrisburg Kissel Kar Com

Front-Market Motor Supply, and in
referring to the .merit of the product,
L. W. Gillmor, local distributor, said:
"While we are very enthusiastic
about the new Kissel Kar 42-0, and
naturally inclined to the use of su
perlatives in describing it, we are will
ing to stand upon the summary of one
of the highest authorities in the coun
try who, in reviewing the merits of
this car for his journal, said: 'lt is
better than the average Six at less than
the price of the average Six.'
"That, after all, is strong enough
to interest the keenest prospective
buyer and "we are very much pleased
I with the attention the Kissel Kar
.chassis has received at the show.
"The 4 2-Six and the 36-Four, are
i really remarkable values, the best cars
to my mind, that Kissel ever produced,
and at prices away below those hither
to associated with Kissel With
Kissel-built motors, bodies, clutches
and axles, to say nothing of many
other less important units, these mod
els are exclusively Kissel, in marked
distinction to the many price rivals
which are built of stock parts."

International Trucks
Show Many Improvements
More than five hundred Interna
tional motor trucks are used in the
Harrisburg general agency district,
' and the increasing demand for these
trucks, together with models "M" and
I "E" added, necessitated the establish
ment of the new department known
as the International motor truck de
partment at «19 Walnut street, in
charge of C. J. Stevens.
Business firms now recognize the
fact that without new trade their
business will decline, and horse drawn
delivery will limit a nrm to a re
stricted territory, while a motor truck
permits a large expansion of trade,
and flie International are constantly
placing motor trucks with progres
sive firms who are serving customers
throughout the cities and suburban
towns, which trade would be other
wise lost.
The smaller firms formerly held to
the Idea that the motor truck was
only practical for the larger concerns,
but they have now broadened their
views, lost that business timidity, and
are purchasing trucks as a matter of
economy and expansion of trade.
The responsibility of the manufac
turer. the service facilities of the sell
ing department, and tlio figures on
which are based the claims for econ
omy arc regarded to-day as the most
vital considerations by the purchas
ers. ,
Many owners of International motor
trucks report their experience in pene
trating extreme conditions of roads,
such as deep mud, heavy snow drifts,
such as are considered almost Im
passible for horse service. Instances
of this nature only remind the pros
pective buyer of the fact that the
International motor trucks are . thor
oughly reliable for twelve months
service each year, regardless of
weather or road conditions.
The many up-to-date features of
the new 1915 models of International
motor trucks are both interesting and
pleasing to the many visitors and
prospective purchasers now calling at
the International motor truck depart
ment In their snow white and well
furnished display rooms at 619 Wal
nut street, Ilarrisburg, Pa.
Double Exhaust Manifold
Among Improved Features
One of the greatest features exhib
ited at the Arena show in the Reo ex
hibit is the double.exhaust manifold.
In speaking of importance, George (T.
Me Far la nil said: "The large major
ity of the general public do not fully
realize the importance that this dou
ble exhaust manifold is to the mod
ern automobile. The exhaustive tests
made by the Continental Motor Works,
| the largest automobile works in the
world, and the Stromberg Carburetor
Company, to determine accurately the
exact difference made in the developed
horsepower between a car equipped
with a double exhaust manifold and
those equipped with the old type of
single exhaust, are very interesting.
These exhaustive tests were completed
this week and it was positively proven
beyond a doubt that the added horse
power to a car equipped with a double
exhaust manifold was 2:s 7-10 per cent,
and that the gasoline consumption to
produce this added horsepower was
IS per cent, less than is used with the
old type of manifold. This manifold
feature as equipped on both the four
and six-cylinder Reo puts the ear far
ahead of the genral line of automo
biles and is another proof positive that
the Reo Motor Car Company are not
only up to every other car but in a
great, many eases have beaten the
other fellows to it. "Their exclusive
steering gear, one that is just as safe
after live years of service, is another
exclusive feature. In the Reo are em
bodied a lot of expensive features in
construction that are not duplicated
in any ear under two thousand dol
lars. The Reo drive pinion and shaft
is made out of a solid billet of steel,
the strain on both ends being carried
by two Timken bearings all in a space
of about six inches. Ordinarily the
pinion is cut separately and keyed to
the shaft. An unusual strain fre
quently shears off the pin leaving the
driver helpless. In Ueo construction
this important part is made out of one
piece of steel, positively eliminating
any danger of any breaking from the
most extraordinary strain. This and
dozens of• other features have made
the Reo car so strong and sturdy that
the old 1910's are still giving uctive
service. All these and many others
can' be seen in the fine cabinet of
parts that is displayed at the show."
Hints on Care of Tires
For Spring and Summer
"A little attention to tires right
now when Motorists are getting their
cars Into shape for the Spring anil
summer, will save considerable money
on the season's tire bills," says Mr. R.
J. Firestone, Sales Manager of the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.
"The service of tires will be abbre
viated to a considerable extent if cuts,
punctures and snags are neglected.
The cost of fixing such injuries is
small but if neglected, the difference
in the tire hills is mighty big." "New
macadam roads, especially when wet,
are apt to damage the rubber cover.
If rear wheels lose traction and spin
around on wet pavements or ice. or
in mud or sand, the cover may receive
numerous small snags or cuts. Then

"That Paige Is A Great Car"
DO YOU KNOW why people say that—why YOU yourself say it?
Perhaps, you have heard that in actual sales Paige cars led every
American-made motor car at all the Automobile Shows this season.
Perhaps, you know that the Paige "Six-46," a big seven-passenger "Six" for
$ 1 °95, has proved easily the most popular "Six"—at any price—on the market
this season. Perhaps, you have heard that at the new price, $1075, the Paige
"Four-36" has already dominated the "Four" field this season. Perhaps, you
know that Paige Sales have increased 61 per cent over the corresponding
period of last year; that the huge Paige factory is working 24 hours a day to
fill Paige orders. These things are proofs that the Paige car "Six" or
"Four"—lS "a great car," as you say.
BUT WHY?
Let us see. Do you know of any other The same with the Paige Glenwood "Four
"Six" that has the beauty and distinction of 86". Do you know of any other "Four" that
design, the seven-passenger roominess of the has the beauty and five-passenger comfort of
Paige; the power and flexibility of the Paige- the Glenwood, the nower and reputation for
Continental motor, the Gray & Davis starting service, the Graj & Davis lighting and start
and lighting system, the Bosch magneto, the ing system, the Bosch magneto, the silent
Rayfield carburetor, the Paige-cantilever chain drive, the multiple disc cork-insert
spring suspension, the general elegance and clutch, the elegance and excellence of gen
yet economy of the Paige "Six"—at a price eral design of the Glenwood—at a price
within |2OO of the Paige "Six" price? within S2OO of the "Paige price?
That is $1395 That is slOls
It is good to know that Paige cars are at the pinnacle now in popu
larity, sales, national confidence. But we want the world to know
WHY. i
Come and see and drive these two wonderful Paige cars. We'll
leave the verdict to you.

again, in the ordinary course of tour- ]
ins, sharp stones, tacks, glass and
other objects injure the tread.
A cut or injury in the tread has a
tendency to expand. This is due to
the elasticity of the rubber, and the
weight of the machine in contact with
the road pressing down upon the tire.
In tliis way such foreign matter as
dust, grit, sand and pebbles is forced
into the cut. With each revolution
of the wheel when the injured part Is
relieved of the weight of the car, the
accumulation of foreign matter acts
as a wedge. With each successive
revolution of tile wheel, it forces it
self farther in between the cover anil
the fabric of the tire. It is not un
usual for complete separation of the
tread to occur. When this happens,
it is often necessary to either apply an
entirely new cover or buy a new tire.
Owners cannot sometimes under
stand why tires having good treads
and appearing all right from the out
side fail to give more service and
they are surprised to loarn from the
repair man that it is not advisable
to rebuild. This is often due to water
working through neglected cuts in
the tread and causing separation, de
cay and disintegration of* the fabric.
The fabric is the real foundation and
strength of the tire and it is there
fore highly important to protect it.
Firestone has always been fore
most in endeavoring to eliminate this
unnecessary tire expense and we have
just published a complete book, "The
Care and Repair of Tires" which was
prepared in order tjiat motorists could
know certain things about tires. We
will pladly furnish one to any car
owner that will call or write for one."
