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.
The one exception had trouble only with Miller Tires that had
already run 5,000 or more miles, but the car made a clean
time score.
Under our offer, those two tires are now being repaired,

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.
