First Prize Winner of Ajax Goes 21,985 Miles Every section of the country from New England to Florida and from the Atlantic Coast to the Far West is represented in the list of prize win ners in the second annual tire mile age contest of the Ajax-Grleb Rubber Company, Inc.. of Trenton. New Jer sey, the results of which have just been announced. Motorists the coun try over have shown their keen in terest in this truly national contest for Ajax tire users with the result that this year the leading mileages obtained are far greater than ever before, and the average Is also con siderably greater than that of last year. The winner of the first prize of SSOO Is a Wisconsin chauffeur. Garth C. Jensen, who drives a Cadillac for John Welsoy, or Stevens Point. His mileage was almost 22,000. He lacked just 15 miles of that total. He was slightly more than 500 miles better than Frank Gray, chauffeur for Carl M. Gottfried, of Chicago, whose Peer less car he piloted 21,483 miles U9ing one single Ajax tire and thereby won the S3OO prize. It was another Cadil lac which covered 21,039 miles on an Ajax casing and won S2OO, the third prize, for Alfred C. Smith, of Spring fleldi Mass. The first twenty of the winners of prizes in this contest covered better than 15,000 miles with casings en tered. The average of the 20S prize winning chauffeurs was 7,722 miles per Ajax tire.

Of late years, Mr. Hagerling will be remembered as manager of the local branch of the Packard Motor r'ar Company.

Buyer Should Consider Repair Expense Carefully "When you talk about the upkeep and I general expense of a motor car," said Ik. C. Ensmlnger. Hupmobtle distrlbu | tor, "most people instinctively think of I the cost of gasoline and oil. Now this is absolutely the wrong standpoint to take, for one big repair bill will shat ter a year's gasoline and oil expense. "A motorist can economize on gaso 'line ami oil to his heart's content, but should lils car need a general overhaul ing. and he receives a big bill of repair expense, his upkeep cost for the year will climb to unknown heights. "Therefore, the prospective automo bile purchaser In buying his car should not only be careful and consider the gasoline and oil expense that he will Incur on lils new model, but he should also look Into the cost of repair ex pense. This can be easily determined by an investigation of the present |<*wners of the model the purchaser has In mind. An owner is always very glad to talk about his car and tell a future prospective owner the exact satisfaction he is getting from his pres ent model. Or visit the garage man, ask him what so and so car costs to maintain a year, and how often it is in the shop for repairs. Get the dealer's advice on this subject—tell him to jliow [you figures that he has probably com piled from statistics furnished him by owners. ; "To my mind this expense of opera | tlon is the most important subject that an automobile owner has to consider in buying a car. It cannot be investi gated too carefully. You have a right to know what your car Is going to cost you after it is in your hands, and the dealer should give you all the assist ance and co-operation that he possibly can in determining Just what it costs to maintain this particular car. "To show the prospect just exactly what it will probably cost to maintain a Hupmobtle. the Hupp Motor Car Com pany recently compiled an average op erating cost from statistics through its representatives, on the amounts paid by Hupmobtle owners for repairs and adjustments of al kinds since the com pany has been In business. "This investigation is astounding, for It shows that each owner of a Hup mobile pays one-quarter of a cent per mile as an average repair cost. In other words, a Hupmobile owner after a year's touring, of say 8,000 miles, a fair average, has a repair and adjustment expense of Tmly $20.00 a year. This is very remarable record, and I doubt if any other motor car on the market can ■how anything of a like nature. "As you know, the real test of a car's economy, is the cost of repairs. Gaso line consumption depends upon the driver, or how hard he drives his car. But. after all, the gasoline used is one of the smallest items of expense. It is the repair bills that mount up the upkeep cost. Repairs are the greatest feature in a poorly designed car. and as a consequence this subject should be rigidly looked Into by a purchaser. Be sides being the biggest single point that the owner has to consider in pur r-hasing a car. It shows the stability of the car and is a quick method of judging of the way the car is manufac tured." Reo Business Shows Remarkable Increase With an allotment of 398 cars for this year the business has warranted Increase to 800 Reos for 1916. Out of this year's 398 oars 263 have been delivered by the Harrisburg Automo bile Company up to April 30. For May, June and July 135 more are to come. Xinety-three of these were de livered in the month of April. Be sides this number of new cars nine teen second-hand cars were sold to April 30. 1 George G. McFarland, who has built the Reo business up to the present standard, enjoys the distinction of being the largest distributor of Reos between New York and Detroit.
