PERFECT BALANCE
IN CAR ESSENTIAL
Roy D. Chapin, President of Hud
son Motor Car Co., T#lls of
Its Importance
Experienced motorists are well
aware of the many advantages secur
ed by the purchase of a perfectly bal
anced automobile. To the first buyer,
or to the man who has not Riven the
matter much thought the subject of
proper balance often does not appeal.
He is apt to select a car from super
ficial motives. Too much stress often
Is laid upon mere color, finish and
relatively less important details. And
the really vital points are apt to be
overlooked. One buyer wonders why
the car he selected is a "tire eater" or
» "gasoline drinker" as such cars are
iubbed by the inotorwise. Another
,'annot understand how his neighbor
1 rives safely and confidently over wet
ind slippery roads with never a skid or
dip. The answer to many of these
luestions is found in balance. A prop-1
•rlv balanced car has its weight even
y distributed on all four tires. There
s no wobbling or swaying in its mo-i
ion. Tires all wear evenly and grad
lally. because of the absence of jerk
>r jolt the motor Is enabled to do its I
vork far more effectively. A car has
ittle tendency to "skid" when all four
vheels grip the road with equal pres
sure. Howard E. Coffin, the designer
>f the Hudson Sixrs has been called a
'crank" on balance. Yet 'those who
<now realise that it is this very fact
>f accurate ltalancing of his cars that
las made Niem such excellent per
ormers on all classes of road surface.
This practically j>erfect balance, corn
lined with light weight and well pro- j
Kirtioned power has much to do with I
he satisfaction that all Hudson users]
ird in their cars. Not many motor;
a»- salesmen are well informed on this
übject of balance. Buyers must not
xpect much information from the,
verage salesman. Tet the thing is so;
•erfectly clear and logical, once it is|
■rought to a buyer's attention that he"
s very sure to think of it in consider
in: the purchase of a car. especially I
.•ben the car he is offered very plainly j
« lacking in this important requisite.'

Trainload Secured in March Pur
posely to Prevent Shortage at
Height of Season
The wisdom and forethought of the
Harrisburg Automobile Company in
, securing a trainload of automobiles
| the first part of March and storing
| them in the big warehouse in Tenth
| street, anticipating the Spring rush.
I has proved a boon to the numerous
j people who intended to buy lieos just
as soon as the robins came. Just about
I one-half of these tifty-one ears have
been taken out and delivered to cus
tomers in this territory. Nineteen
have been taken out so far in April. It!
is a mighty nice thing to be able to get
your favorite car the day you want it.
Two hundred and sixty-three Keo cars,
fours and sixes, have been received
and delivered to Reo customers up
to date, and a telegram received from
the Reo people this morning an
nounces the shipment of five addi
tional carloads direct to customers in
surrounding towns. The Harrisburg
Automobile Company have already
made arrangements to get eight hun
dred Reo cars for 1916 and to in
crease their storing capacity during
the winter to 150 cars instead of the
51 they stored in March of this year.
The only reason that this great in
crease and business is possible is on
account of the wonderfully good qual
ity of the Reo cars and its legion of
friends.
Calls Cadillac Eight
Best Car From America
"So far as my experience goes. I can
pronounce the Cadillac Eight the best
thing in the shape of a motor car that
has yet come to u« from the land of the
Stars and Stripes."
Thus writes ail expert In a recent
issue of The Motor News of Dublin, a
leading Irish motor publication, after
a l- in al 40 miles in a Cadillao Eight,
through slush and congested trafTic in
the streets of London and over snow
cove'-ed roads in the open country. He
goes on:—
"It is to all intents and purposes a
one gear, car, as you can use the top
speed (high geart on anything from
five to over sixty miles an hour. The
acceleration is really wonderful. The
rate at which the car can jump from a
creeping pace up to a mile per minute
was to mo a revelation. This was not
my first introduction to the eight cyl
inder engine, having madt> a run two
years ago on a Pe Dion with the same
number of cylinders. The one impres
sion left on my mind in connection with
that trip was the smooth running of
the engine. 1 described it then as
"being pulled along by a cable.' There
was not only the feeling of sweet and
•J »y running, but the sense of supreme
and cot jtant power as well. My forty
mile rt a on the new Cadillac, in and
out of traffic, through slush and snow,
up hill and on level, was a repetition
of my previous experience.
"To use an Americanism, the new
Cadillac is -some' car. as it provides
comfort bordering on luxury, speed far
beyond one's requirement, and ease of
control so simple that a child could
drive it. You have seating accommo
dation for seven people. Thanks to a
highly organized factory and an enor
mous output, the American companv is
able to put this large family car' on
the market at a price that almost de
fies competition."
That the interest of prospective pur
chasers in Ix>ndon is high, the writer
shows by relating the difficulty- he had
in arranging for a test run. being com
pelled to make it in the early morning
lours.
