Or, so ho could allow you several hundred dollars more for your old car than he can sell it for, while quietly letting you flatter your self that you are a "good buyer." But the policy of the Cadillac Company is to play fair with the public. And in order to secure this end, thev put a fair price on their car, and restrict the agent's discount to such an extent that he has no margin for "juggling." That is why Cadillac cars are sold on a different basis from many other cars. One recent Cadillac purchaser said: "I am fully convinced the Eight-Cylinder is the coming car, else why would the other fellows be cutting prices so?"

Hollier Eight Among Surprises of Motor World The new Hollier Eight, the dis tributing agent for which I. W. Dill has | assumed, la one of the surprises of the I motor world. It was only lately that J the trade learned that two million dol jlars' worth of the new cars had been •old to the large distributors, with the understanding that the company was In position to deliver *he goods. Fred Lewis is the mechanical genius responsible for the many clever ideas Incorporated in the new car. Mr. I jew Is I® well and favorably known in the trade, his father having been the originator of the Lewis Spring and Axle Company, and the present head grew up accustomed to the heavy thud jof the trip hammer, and the glow of the molten mrtal !n the plant of the I Lewis Spring and Axle Company. ! Thi& ccmjony has for many years been building cuis and parts for dif ferent makers, nr.d arc now building the New Hollier Light, strictly within Its own factory. Mr. Lewis' experi ence in building both automobile and aeroplane motors has especially fitted him for the designing and production of this new candidate for popular fa vor. Every feature in the new Hollier has proven its efficiency and durability, as the work has been under way for many months, and the new eight offered is a proven product in which all of the "high spots" have been removed. Mr. Lewis' inventive genius is shown in many practical Improvements which he has made in the eight cylinder mo tor. The method of attaching canti lever springs, and the improved meth od of connecting the piston rods to shafts, etc. The Hollier is a light weight ma chine. but is fitted with a three inch bore motor which is only one-eighth inch less than a well-known car of al most double the weight. The abund ance of power divided with eight im pulses furnishes high power and speed as well as economy of tires and ma chine. The ample capital and the enor mous production facilities of the Hol lier Company has enabled it to gain a lead of a full year in marketing the new "Eight." Deliveries will be made from dis tributing centers in the near future to dealers. Harrisburg is ono of the points of distribution from which fourteen counties will be supplied. Re gardless of the popular price of the Hollier it is a car of the highest quality, both In workmanchip and ma terial. and carries every ear mark of the experienced designer. An electric starter of unusual power is installed on the car, and one on which it is possible to move the car on high gear. The car establishes a new criterion of automobile value, being listed F. O. li. Jackson SOBS. De liveries to owners are promised in the immediate future. Paige Factory Besieged by Anxious Dealers Where is the man who said these were hard times, that business was bad and every day a Blue Monday? If this pessimist is about, Henry Krohn, sales manager of the Paiggo- Detroiter Motor Car Company, would like to meet hini. If he does meet him Mr. Krohn would like to ask him what particular brand of gloom he is smoking. Mr. Krohn has been hustling about the country at a pretty lively pace ever since the opening of the New York show in January and he has yet to find any evidence of business depres sion or arrested prosperity. "Within my experience and from the viewpoint of our company," said Mr. Krohn, "conditions were never bet ter, nor have they ever promised'more for the future. These are not mere pleasant generalities. They are based upon actual facts. For example, our factory Is now overwhelmed with or ders and there is a constant procession of dealers, twenty and thirty a day, coming to our headquarters to hasten the completion of their allotments and to beg for more cars. Almost every important dealer we have wants more of our Sixes than he contracted for. "In Chicago the Bird-Sykes Com pany since the first of the year have sold and delivered more than 200 Paige Sixes in Chicago territory, which I believe is a record unsurpassed in the Six field. As a result their allot ment is gone, and Mr. Bird joinod the procession to the factory to beg for more cars. The Bird-Sykes Company will celebrate this exceptional pros perity with a Paige Jubilee Month, keeping open house all through April. "Just about the same story can be told of New York. Philadelphia, De troit and all other big distributing points. The result is that our factory has, for some time, been working dou ble shifts to meet the orders and will continue to do so indefinitely. That is why I wonder why any one should imagine all is not right with business. If conditions were any better we couldn't stand it." Saxon Engineer Says Lightness a Big Factor ! "Lightness in weight is a great big I idea In motor car building," says R. jE. Cole, chief engineer of the Saxon Motor Company. "Everone is striving to cut down excess weight. Even the higher priced cars to-day are lighter than i they were one, two or three years ago. (Why? Simply because light weight. | when accompanied by strength and proper balance, means economy . "The more pounds a car weighs the more expensive it is to build, and nat urally. also to sell. The more pounds a car weighs the more gallons of gaso line it take.; to haul these pounds around: the more quarts of oil, the more tires. "A few years ago it was different. People rightly expected then to get quality and durability only in bulky heavyweight cars. But materials have improved. Answering the de mands of automobile builders, the makers of steels, for instance, have found ways to secure lightness and at the same time greater strength in these materials. "The best oars to-day are those that are built pretty much after the fash lon of a well-trained athlete, a thor oughbred horse, or a greyhound. In other words, they are strong, durable and carry no excess weight. "Mere pounds are no longer a cri terion of how a car will perforin. In building the Saxon car, for instance, we have made it heavy enough for its size and the work it has to do. We could not build it any stronger by adding weight to it. "Along with this quest for lightness in weight has come another change, that is equally impressive In motor oar development. Thlq other change is the tendency toward economy—the elimination of false pride. It used to be fashionable to be extravagant in motor oar buying. Now it is fashion able to be economical, to get the greatest return in service in relation to the price paid. The motor oar to day is no longer a luxury for a limited few; but is p. necessity for nearly everyone. One of the ideals of the Saxon Company has been to bring automobiles out of the luxury )cla«s. People buy oars to-day, not for the sake of 'show,' but for the purpose of getting the joys of touring and effi cient performance from their cars." THE NEW MACK FURNITURE EsPl The above illustrates the new Mack truck just received by Gately & Fit7gerald. It has a forty-horsepower motor. 130-inch wheelbaso and a ca pacity of 4,000 pounds. This Is the now 1915 type fitted with furniture body and is the second truck recently installed by this firm to caro for local deliveries. The first was a Ford, to bo used for light delivery. Rfeo Factories Running to Limit of Capacity "It's awful hard to have to tuvn down two orders for every one you can accept and fill, but we'd rather do that than force the factories to the limit, put on a lot of unknown, untried men and send cars out that might not be up to the standard," says R. C. Rueschaw. sales manager of the Reo Motor Car Company. "There's an almost irresistible temp tation to "shoot them out.' as they sav in tho trade, and try to fill all dealers' demands. We have, however, become so accustomed to an over-demand and to resisting that kind of temptation, it has now become a habit with us and so it's easier than if it were a new experience with us. "Our plan is to make every ear sell two others. Only way to do that Is to be certain every car is fully up to standard. That isn't easy at any time —it Is almost impossible when working under pressure with the safety valve tied down. We neveij do it. "Business is certainly wonderful." continues Air. Ruesehew. "We have never seen anything like it. I.ansing post office will be in the first division in a few weeks of the mail keeps up. And wo keep telegraph operators from both companies busy all the time catch ing the orders off the wires. "No, it isn't all due to the high prices farmers are receiving for grain in the West. In fact, the East is buying as never before. Our Boston and New York business, as well as away up in Maine, is unprecedentedly heavy. 'Ship when you can and all yon can,' is a typical telegram—and that was from staid oid Bean-town. It is really won derful. "But while wo are reveling in the biggest business of our history, we are not. for a moment, losing sight of that which made the Reo reputation. And so we are more than ever solicitous that every car that goes out is one we can be sure will sell another just like Strong Indorsement For Service of Hupmobile E. C. Ensminger, distributor for the Hupmobiles in Central Pennsylvania, received a strong letter from Ben Mack, proprietor of the Conneaut garage at Conneaut Lake. Pa. This garage Is at Exposition Fkrk and stores as many as four hun dred cars on big days and makes many repairs to all kinds of cars. With twelve men employed, Mr. Mack states that they have never been called upon to repair anything on the inside of a Hupmobile. This speaks well for the serviceability of the Hupmobile. Mr. Mack contemplates operating a jitney line during the winter months at St. Petersburg, Florida, and says he will use Hups on account of their staying qualities, economy of upkeep and ability to negotiate the distance in Florida sand. Rear Suction of Cars Considered by Designer One of the successful racing drivers several seasons ago won a' leading po sition in a big Indianapolis event be cause he took advantage of the suction behind the oar of the favorite. Com parisons afterward showed that this maneuver addeda ppreeiably to the average speed of his own machine. This incident is mentioned to illus trate how powerful is the draft in the wake of a rapidly moving motor ve hicle. Itacing ear designers endeavor to shape the car bodies with torpedo or turtle-back lines that the suction may be reduced. On the other hand, many designers of cars for everyday owner's service have added materially to this back draft by fenders, which sweep far down behind the rear wheels. While the non racing driver docs not object to the small reduction in speed, he does dislike the resulting swirl of dust which hangs over the tonneau In dry weather and the muddy sorav which bespatters the occupants of the rear seats in wet going. The Packard type of rear fenders Is typical of a common sense design by which these disagreeable occurrences are entirely eliminated. The eighteen-hour Southern Indiana endurance run of the Indianapolis Mo torcycle Club, wil be held on June 19- JEFFERY FOUR REDUCED IN PRICE T it ry i e • ij r • ■ ir>-tr>rr\ T' le Bentz-Landis Auto Company, of Jetiery Clearfield Light Six, T tt form the motor-buying public that the jeiiery olX*4o, v Jeff cry "4"' which heretofore sold for $1450, was on April 1 reduced to JEFFERY POUR HAS BEEN CUT I PRICE Formerly $1,450, Now Sells at $1,150 With Rotchild Body With the April first changes come* the announcement tliat the Jeffery "Four" will be sold for less than here-I tofore. The Information was received I this week by tho Bentz-Landls Auto Company, agents for Harrisburg' and vicinity. Without change in the quality of the rar the Jeffery Company reports it possible to do so because of their increased output which necessitates three shifts of mechanics operating the factory twenty-four hours each day. The company has twenty.six acres de voted to the manufacture of Jeffery pleasure cars and trucks. A $3,000.00 order from foreign countries contrib utes materially to the reasons that make it necessary to produce a greater number and thus make it possible to reduce the cost of manufacture. The Jeffery Four which formerly sold for 51450 will now be marketed at sllsO, Including Rotchild body, nnd f]275 if the full French streamline type is pre ferred. This four was the ear that started the trend towards the use of smali motors and light weight. J. A. Bentz reports thirteen cars sold since the opening o fthe local automo bile show, and wears the self-satisfied expression of the man who is getting his share of the business. The little Pullman has found a ready sale, and since its introduction in the local field twelve of them have been placed in this territory. Quite a number were sold preceding the show period. and NOTES I The Canal Zone Motorcycle Club, of Ancon, Canal Zone, is planning to af filiate with the Federation of American Motorcyclists.
