Months ahead of all others in its announcement, a full year ahead in the value it gjj offers, comes the 1916 Empire—Model 33 touring car. New models have no signifi cance if numbers alone are changed—the Empire Model 33 is an advanced car through out, the result of exhaustive experimental work and a year's testing. We had not pj intended announcing this new model for months to come, but the demand of Empire dealers and customers took every one of our 1915 models before March I—took every car we had to offer. This tremedous demand for the Empire gives the car buyer the opportunity of securing this wonderful 1916 model this spring. In this latest Empire are combined many new featnres. There is that attention to detail of body de sign and general finish heretofore considered impossible in a car selling for less than $1,400. Size, power, quality and equipment, considered separately or collectively, give the Empire Model 33 rank above all cars of its class. It retains the sturdiness, ability, economy and easy riding qualities that have I! [ II I made the Empire famous—and this now to an even greater degree. Note carefully these refinements.

EMPIRE REVEALS FIRST 1316 TYPE Marked Enlargement and Refine ment in Every Detail of the New Model 33 The first 1916 model is announced and is now being shown at tho Penn brook garage by H. A. Flshburn. The distinction of revealing the Ini tial 1916 type is attained by the Em pire Automobile Company of Indian apolis in the announcement of its model S3 touring car. This early an nouncement was made possible by tho fact that Ihe entire Empire output scheduled for the 1915 season was dis posed of before March 1, thereby clearing the way for this model which hns been in test service for almost a year. Many new and striking departures with exceptional refinements are evi dent in this new model. Notably it differs from Its predecessors In tho Empire line in size, having a wheel base of 112 inches, a lengthening of nearly four inches. Correspondingly the body is larger, roomier than any of the company's previous models and has full seating capacity for five pas sengers, with exceptional 'roominess In both driving compartment and ton neau. Tho body with its streamline typo In accord;uice with the latest vogue in car design is finished through out in the new style upholstery and of selected leather. Moulded top, wide doors, low set seats, concealed hinges are noticeable features, while one man top with inside operated storm cur tains Is provided. In model 33 the Empire has left side drive and center gear control. The general appearance of the entire car is distinctive with the unbroken taper ing lines from the new honeycomb, rounded top radiator to rolled back of body. While this latest Empire is marked by many refinements, it is noticeable that the company's engineers have ad hered in general to the chassis de sign which has been followed s<4 suc cessfully tor many yeara. The in crease in size of the car has been ac complished with the addition of but a few pounds in weight, which is still held well below 2.500 pounds. De spite this the power is increased more than 10 per cent, by an increase in the bore of the four-cylinder motor in corporated in unit power plant. This motor develops 35 horse power, hold ing the poundage per horse power to a very low figure, making the car economical in fuel consumption and tire cost. This new model has full floating rear axle, of especially sturdy con struction with nickel steel shafts throughout. By the construction of this axle all weight is taken from the driving shafts, while there is no pos sibility of leakage of oil to brakes. The electric starting installation is unique in that the action is direct through silent chain from starting motor to crankshaft, there being no intermediate gears or clutches. As soon as the engine starts, the start ing motor becomes an electric gen erator. The entire electric system is guaranteed for one year. Other notable features in the car are crowned fenders, linoleum covered and aluminum bound, a wooden run ning boards, nonskid tires onn rear wheels and complete equipment in every detail. The standard body color is Brew ster green, although French gray is also furnished. While the model is announced as a touring car, detachable sedan top Is also furnished at an extra charge, this giving practically two cars—a closed limousines tor inclement weather and an open touring car for summer use. The sedan top is so constructed, how ever, that all side and back panels may bo removed, leaving the car ab solutely open. "This car marks a most decided ad vance in the Empire production," says C. B. Sommers of the Empire com pany. "We believe we have taken a step that will meet with popular favor with dealers and buyers in the early announcement we are making. We had not intended to place the car on the market until July, but when it became apparent that the 1916 allot ment would be completed and shipped before March 1, we rearranged our plans and decided on the early Spring annonuncement, as we had fully con cluded the experimental and develop ment work which had been conducted for almost a year. Material had been fully stocked and now at the time of our announcement, we have already shipped demonstrators of the new model to practically all our dealers and have cars coming through on a larger daily production schedule than at any time in our history." Auto of Today For the Man Who Drives The automobile of to-day is made for the man who does Ills own driving. This explains its increasing vogue. With the coming of the popular priced car, the chauffeur's sphere of activity is narrowing to the essentially high-priced machines. In fact, even among the owners of high-priced cars there Is an increased tendency to get the full fun out of motoring by doing their own driving. it has been found that the great per centage of Mitchell cars go to men j who have no need for chauffeurs. It is a foremost triumph of American ' motorcar construction that automobiles j have reached a point of convenience, I safety, consistency and reliability that make it speedily possible to convert the inexperienced purchaser Into a skilled pilot. The Mitchell line Is peculiarly suited for the man who does ills own driving. ! All of these cars are great hill climb- 1 ers. This "Six" will run from two to flfty-nine miles on high gear, and thus ; the driver is spared tiie weariness of j constantly changing gears. The car: Is easy riding and given very little vi- i bration, even when going over cobble stones. This is attributed to the rear) spring construction, the springs being) low and placed under the rear axle. | The "Six" turns very close and is as well adapted for city as for country , use. The comfort of the driver has been well thought of, for the seat he occu pies has plenty of leg room, and the cushions are thick and comfortable.! The one-man top can be placed in from) three to five minutes, BO that the driver need never be seriously concerned by the coming of any sudden unexpected j storm. All these cars are very economical on both gasoline and tires, the latter feature saving the driver a lot of work. The lighting and starting system of the "light six" has only two wires. j which makes it the simplest on the ! market and reduces to a minimum the ' amount of technical knowledge requir-j ed to keep it in shape. What the "light four can do without tinkering, tampering or adjustment was shown by the performance of the car which last Kali averaged 250 miles per da for thirty days under sealed bonnet conditions that precluded any adjustment. Any driver could have driven the car during this test. When problems occasionally arise the Mitchell owner-driver has tlie securitv | that back of his car Is the wealth of i one of the most powerful companies ' In existence—the - tor Company, at Hacine. Wisconsin. BAD JUDGMENT "What you so furious about, wife?" "Mrs. Smith Just called me an old cat:" "Why, you're not old!" Farm Life., APRIL 17, 1915.
