This There's Mileage in the Miller Method The Miller Method of building tires does not cook the life out of the ruhher and fabric in vulcanizing. It preserves all the rubber's native toughness and the fabric's strength for wear on vour car. ntillerfSEfTtm are all built by the Miller Method which is the net result of 23 years of rubber experience. This is why < they give greater mileage, service, and satisfaction. The sure-footed, geared to the road" Miller Tires insure a safe, skid less ride over wet and slippery pavements, through mud, sand and slush. ALL MILLER SHOD cars in the PUBLICITY RUN this week, except one, came through with clean Tire Scores.

HAYNES UNDERGOES REMARKABLE TEST Runs 54,513 Miles at Average Speed of 22 Miles During Indoor Trial "A Haynes Light Six stock car mo tor has just completed a run of 54.513 miles in the showroom of the New ark, New Jersey branch," states Geo. W. H'. Roberts, of Roberts and Hotn, distributor of America's tlrst car. "The run was conducted as a test to deter mine the wear on parts. "The results show that an average speed of 22 miles per hour was main tained for 3,132 hours with a gasoline consumption of 24.39 miles per gallon. The average oonsunvptlon of cylinder oil was 430 miles per quart, and of water in the cooling system, 430 miles per pint. The temperature in the radiator averaged 130 degrees even though no artificial cooling was used and the exhaust was conducted from the muffler through 22 feet of Inch and a half pipe. "At the end of the run the motor was torn down. The wear on the crank shaft and cam bearings was live ten-thousandths of an Inch. The valves were a surprise. The intake valves were still bright and needed no grind ing. The exhaust valves were In good condition and showed but slight pit ting. The valve stems and push rod adjusting screws showed no appre ciable wear. "The platinum breaker points were set twice during the test. The pis ton ring were perfectly bright all around and showed no leaky or burn ed spots. The walls of the cylinders showed an almost inappreciable wear. They were perfectly bright and abso lutely free from scores. "The generator was opened but once for inspection. No work was done, and the original brushes are still in use. The original fan belt is also still in service. The test proved conclu sively that the ignition, lubrication, and cooling are practically perfect. "Following the inspection, the mo tor was assembled and the car driven 217 miles. All gears were quiet and the same power and flexibility were given as when the car left the fac tory." Saxon Car Shipments Increase 300 Per Cent. The close of the month of April marked the finish of the biggest month so far as shipments were con cerned that the Saxon Motor Company has ever had. This month showed an increase of 300 per cent, over the same period of last year. Coincident with the announcement of this record it is made known that Hue production for the month of May will be still larger than April, the schedule output calling for at least 3,1»0u cars. This unprecedented output Is due to the flood of orders that have come into the big Detroit factory of the Saxon Company. On one day 269 »rders for earliest possible delivery were receiv ed. Judging frot»i the demand in all parts of the country, the six-cylinder Saxon, first marketed several weeks ago. is proving one of the biggest successes that lias ever been announced in auto mobile circles. Dealers everywhere are sending in orders for the six-cylinder car. In fart, they are coming in such largo numbers that to the outsider it would seem almost like a myth. "Our biggest problem now." says H. TV. Ford, president of the Saxon Motor Company, "is to keep abreast of or ders. Even with our increased factory facilities and improved methods of ob taining rapid and good production, we will be lucky If we can catch up witli orders. The end of April found us with 2,300 orders on hand for earliest possible delivery. "The demand for the new models is distributed in every part of the coun try and so fast are our dealers selling cars that they are asking for double and triple the allotments of machines contracted for at the beginning of the season. "According to the present factory schedule we are producing an average of 125 cars per day and we are increas ing this number right along. At the present rate we are ahead of our schedule, which calls for a double out put of the roadster model, with a total of 25.000 sixes and roadsters for the year."

Market Street Bridge Has Strength and Smoothness Visiting motorists often express sur prise at the asphalt roadway on the Market street bridge. Of course as phalt is the ideal surface for any bridge, although it is much more ex pensive than any other roadway as to first cost. But the exnense is not the reason that few bridges have asphalt. It requires a very strong bridge to carry such a roadway, which is laid on plates supported by steel joists, and is calculated to last as long as the bridge. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Market street bridge has never been closed for repairs in the last ten years, except for the paving of the island roadway, which was finished in eight and one-half working days. And last month the whole roadway was put in excellent condition in two and one-half days, without interfering w r ith traffic.—Advertisement. Seventy-year-old Man Buys First Automobile Having reached the three-score-and ten years allotted as the life span of the average mortal, Henry F Husking, 1723 Park Avenue, Indianapolis. re cently decided that he had denied him self the pleasures of motoring long enough. In company with his wife, who had just turned her sixty-eighth vear he visited the salesroom of the Steinhart- Kckler Company, dealers for Dodge Brothers, and purchased a new five passenger tourinir car. Mr. Husking, who in a master me chanic in the employ of a big lloosler concern, told the Dodge deal»r that he had put off buying a motor car be cause he did not believe they had reached the desired state of perfection One by one he bad watched his neigh bors go over to the new fad. but he remained firm until lie read Dodge Brothers' announcement some months back. I "WlX# and 1 read over the specific*- HXRRISBURG TELEGRAPH That the demand for Reo cars is excessive, is but natural: we expect it; Reo quality— the wonderful values represented in the two models justified us in expecting a demand for all the Reos we could hope to make even in our 25 acre "Model'' Reo factory. We anticipated it insofar as was possible last winter by enlargement of the plants and installation of ' more than half a million dollars' worth of new automatic machinery. </ - - 1 That the demand is in excess of supply—so that *¥ B only those who appreciate the situation and order early can hope to get a Reo for early delivery—is due to the fact that buyers have come to realize the I relative values of Reos and other cars selling at similar prices but lacking Reo quality or reputation. I In other words, Reo is only reaping the reward of merit —realizing on Reo foresight, plans well laid, intelligently and honestly carried out. It is good to know that buyers do appreciate differences in values, that automobile buyers have standards by which to judge values that are so accurate as to be almost infallible. During the past three months the Reo percentage of increase in sales has surpassed that of any other make of car in same power and price class. That is a wonderful showing. And, could we have supplied all who wanted Reos, the figures would have been multiplied. As it is the big Reo plants are running full force and a night shift, in efforts to supply the demand for Reo the Fifth "the Incomparable Four" and the New Reo Six —the Six Sensation of the year. We are not, however, losing sight even for a moment of the fact that Reo policy says: "Every car that leaves the Reo plants must be fully up to the Reo standard of excellence." So if you are not able to get a Reo when you want it, it will be only because of your own tardiness in ordering. Better come in today—that is the only way to be sure you will get your Reo when you want it.
