HIRFF-BROOKS FOUR-25 MOTOR . ; The above shows the intake side of the 4-25 Heeft-Brooks motor. This model 2 5 has been tested under almost every conceivable condition that an automobile could reasonably be expected to stand, and a great many of the cars containing this motor have been delivered since the car was announced at the Chicago show. The motor has four cylinders, cast en bloc, enclosed valves, three-point support, unit power plant, aluminum crank case and transmission case. The Herff-Brooks is represented here by J. K. Kipp. Comfort Attributed Strong Factor in Hupp Success "The biggest single factor that has materially increased Hupmobile busi ness this season," said E. C. Ens mlnger, local distributor, "is the com fort features of our models. "Comfort in touring lias become each a big item with the automobile public that it is almost the first thing a prospect thinks of when buying a motor car. People demand a car that can be driven with ease, that requires little physical energy in keeping it in perfect shape, and one that can be driven over the roughest sort of roads with little or no trouble to the riders. "Motor car comfort can be divided into three classes—first, comfort of driving; second, comfort of handling, ■which consists in keeping the car in running order: third, comfort in rid ing. The motor car that does not in clude these three cardinal principles in its specifications cannot hope for any great success. It may have a number of features, which, on the sur face, appeal to the buyer, but in the long run the comfort elements it lacks will show themselves. "The majority of motor cars owned to-day are used primarily for pleasure. Touring is the greatest of our outdoor sports. It follows that automobile users naturally drive cars that afford the utmost comfort in driving, as a long day's .iaunt is extremely tiresome If your car is not equipped to give comfort. The springs must l>e big and easy acting; plenty of room in the tonneau; no crowding of passengers; soft, deep upholstery; no jarring or jolting on rough roads—these are the chief requisites propects demand to day in automobiles. "It is but natural that comfort should be such consideration in the purchase of a motor car. In the first <lays of the automobile the only thought that was given to motors was 'Will it run?" No matter what a car looked like or how it was built, the fact that it would run meant that it ■was a good automobile. To-day all cars are good carsi Every car will run. And so the public has turned its thoughts to comfort and demands a oar» that Implies easy starting, faciale <<l*ration, smooth riding, plenty of room, freedom from mechanical worry, reasonable operating cost and a multi tude of other things too numerous to mention. "Tn designing the Huprnobile. Hup mobile engineers have carefully fol lowed this demand of the public. Com fort for the motorist was the big thought back of the 1915 Hupmobile. The car is large, has plenty of room und the long wheel base with big pat ented springs give a riding ease which Is very hard to surpass. A com mendable feature in this new Hup mobile that greatly adds to the com-! fort of driving and lessens the physical j energy and worry on the driver is the motor. This permits driv ing in the heaviest traffic with perfect confidence that the motor will not stop find is one of the reasons why the Hupmobile has become so popular this season with women drivers. "I believe that in the future auto mobile engineers will give the subject of comfort more attention when de signing new models. It would pay en gineers to get closer to this subject and find out the requirements of the jiublic by associating themselves what the user wants. This, of course, will take time, but we will surel" see the day when all automobiles will be designed from the comfort stand point." SOO MILES OX SI GALLON'S Of all the reports made so far regarding the gasoline mileage of the • 'ole "Eight." the most extraordinary is that which has just come from C. H. Statler. of the Commercial Motor Car Company of Johnstown, Pa. Mr. Statler drove 500 miles on thirty-one gallons of gasoline, an average of more than sixteen miles to the gallon. Only two quarts of oil were used on the trip. During the run the car crossed Ligonier and Buckhorn mountains on "high" for the first time in automobile history. The previous eight-cylinder record for gasoline mileage was held by E. H. Baker, of Buffalo, X. Y„ who drove 129 miles on eight and a half gallons of gasoline, averaging better than fifteen miles to the gallon.

SERVICE SATURDAY EVENING* 600 Overlands Each Day in the New Buildings Four hundred and fourteen cars were shipped from the Overland fac tory on May 10. This is 2o per cent, greater than the largest number of cars ever shipped from the big To ledo plant on any single day previous to that time. Although it is a remarkable record, tMs great shipment is merely a step in the tremendous manufacturing and selling campaign which the Oveland Company finds necessary in order to meet the demand for cars. A few weeks ago John X. Willys, president of the company, announced that upon the completion of buildings now in the course of construction, the daily output of the factory would be 600 cars per day. Overland officials declare their in tention of occupying portions of the new buildings by June 1. One of these structures Is probably the lag est single factory building in the world, being 1,000 feet long, 200 feet wide and four stories high. In the meantime the enormous To ledo factory is steadily increasing its facilities for building and shipping 600 cars a day. To-day 9,200 men are regularly employed in the Overland shops, many departments of which are working both day and night. More than 2,000 cars left the factory during the week ending May 15. To carry these shipments 61" freight rars were required—or a single train more than five miles in length. In spite of the increasing number of cars leaving the factory daily, it is declared that the order for Overlands are continually in excess ments. Upon his return from California a [few days ago Mr. Willys stated that 'the tremendous output for the coni jing season was based entirely on act ual business conditions as they are to day and on the demand for Overland cars as voiced by his dealers. "The most careful survey of the motor car market has convinced me that the coming year will be the big gest in history for the medium priced cars," states Mr. Willys. "During the past six months, when conditions were declared exceedingly poor by many businessmen, the sale of automobiles broke all previous rec ords. And now that this country has so far recovered from the financial shocks incident upon the war, the de mand will be much greater. "Our 4,000 Overland dealers are constantly clamoring for more cars. During the past few months we have been continually working our factory at capacity. We have broken record after record in shipments, yet we have not been able to keep pace with the influx of orders. "We are not over sanguine in decid ing upon a production of 600 cars a day. In fact. I do not doubt that the demand for our cars will be fare greater than we can possibly supply." MAXWELL WINS YAMS TEST In Field of Forty Cars Maxwell is Awarded Rest Record The rapid strides made by the auto mobile industry and the large field thereby created for mechanical engi neers of special scientific training have ibrought the heads of engineering de partments of the largest universities to the realization that the close study of mechanical construction of the au tomobile is of the very greatest impor tance. In a report just issued by the Mason Laboratory of Mechanical Engineer ing. Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University, covering forty of the lead ing m§kes of cars which the school has put through exhaustive scientific tests for motor car efficiency as well as for economy of operation, the Max well stood out first and foremost in actual results obtained under their I close observation. Among other things embodied In this report on the Maxwell they in cluded the horsenower developed at certain speeds, the pulling strength of the car determined by special draw bar tests at various speeds. But the most striking figure obtained by the Yale engineers were those bearing on the gasoline consumption of the Max well at various speeds and under dif ferent conditions. This report of the engineering de partment indicates and proves the Maxwell's perfect carburetor action over the whole range of speed and load. "This mileage Record," the let ter signed by Professor E. H. Lock wood goes on to state, "is better than that of any one of the forty automo biles tested In our laboratory to date." The fuel miles per gallon brought out by the test at a speed of ten to twenty miles per hour exceed 33 miles per era Hon. and at thirty miles per hour the fuel average was over 23 miles per gallon. The tests at the scientific school of Yale University are given as nearly as possible under the same conditions as would be developed on the road and the cars used for the tests are obtained either from the owner of a car or from the stock of local dealers. The Maxwell car used by the Yale laboratory was nicked at random from the stock of the Biever Motor Car Company, of Xew Haven. Conn., and the record made by the Maxwell after H REO'S Triumph Is So Richly Deserved 3 THE REO FOLK FEEL that the honors that have been quality for the sake of meeting a mere price competition conferred upon the Reo product are fully deserved. —were not recognized and suitably rewarded by buyers generally.
