TESTBESTOS AND THERMOID Shaffer Wagon 80 South Cameron St. SATURDAY EVENING, KNIGHT MOTOR ON A LOW PRICED CAR Sleeve Valve Type Has Been Adopted by One of the Largest Manufacturers of Cars Since it became known that one of the big American manufacturers was to build a Knight motored car to sell in the thousand dollar class, specula tion has been rife as to who the manu facturer is, and what the actual price of the oar will be. Charles Y. Knight, inventor of the famous Knight sleeve valve motor, states that he has been literally swamped with letters from all parts of the country, requesting further in formation on this latest entry into the automobile field. "During the past few weeks," says Mr. Knight, "my office has been snowed under with correspondence from interested motorists, asking for details. To me; this is positive proof of an extensive market for a Knight motored car selling for so low a price. '"The whole trend of motor car de sign to-day is toward silence, smooth ness of operation and comfort. And the sleeve valve motor is conceded by most experts to .be the one logical medium through which all three of these requisites are made possible. "A few years ago the noise emanat ing from the motor cut little figure in the selling of a car. As a matter of fact, shrewd salesmen have been known to make capital of it. If the prospect was sportively inclined, they found little difficulty in convincing him that the noise indicated great power of the motor. But the buyer of to-day is not easily fooled. The smoother and quieter the action of the motor, the greater the appeal of the car. "It is the silence and comfort of the I Knight motor that have made it a popular favorite throughout the world. This type is regarded in Europe as the crowning feature of high-grade automobile construction. Practically every foreign manufacturer of note, who could secure the rights has adopted it. "Its remarkable power, reliability and economy of operation have been proven in many tests of endurance and speed. "One of the chief advantages of the Knight type of motor Is its character istic of improving with use. In this respect it differs from all other types of engines. The carbon deposit that is harmful to most of them, has the opposite effect on the sleeve valve type. Through constant use, the slid ing surfaces of the pistons and sleeves become polished, and the slight de posits of carbon which collect around the rings and sleeve ports give air tight sealing. Thus, the longer the Knight motor is used, the quieter and smoothenits action becomes. "I believe the day is not far distant when the sleeve valve motor will dis place all other types for motor cars. "Although I am not in a position to give the name of the manufacturer who will produce the new Knight car, I can state definitely that the car will contain the highest quality through out. The low price at which it is to be sold is due to the fact that the producer has almost unlimited manu facturing facilities and that he has solved the all-important problem of building and marketing Knight motors In large quantities." Hudson Goes 100,000 Miles Without Repairs "Hudson salesmen the world over are telling their prospects the proof of the Hudson Six-40 supremacy lies In the record of 50,000,000 miles trn versod by the 15,000 Hudson Six-40's In use," "says Mr. L. H. Hagerling of the Hudson Sales Agency, local Hudson dealers. "That this is a valuable sales argu ment is proven by letters frequently received by the Hudson Motor Car Com pany. from owners of older Hudson models, statins the wonderful mileage they have secured and the economical upkeep expense of these cars. One of the most recently received of these letters, from G. A. Saunders, of Sltelton, Va„ speaks for itself: " 'I am yet running my Hudson road ster, Model "20." 1 have gotten 100.- 000 miles and she will not have to go to the shop for the lirst time. I have the same spark plugs in It that came in it, and the engine has never been taken down. You have furnished mo with all of the repairs that have been put on it, and It moves as smoothly and nicely now as any new car. "'However. I have several parts that are now worn, and I want them ship ped to me by parcel post C. O. D. at once. These are the parts needed: Hear axle propeller shaft front bear ing cage, 50 cents: front wheel outer bearing assembly for both right and left weels, with balls complete, $1.60. Total. $2.00.' "Think of that record." exclaimed Mr. L. H. Hagerling. "One hundred thousand miles and now In the shop for the first time! The original spark plugs in it and an engine that has never bci?n taken down! Only a few minor repairs made previously "and now only $2.00 worth of parts needed! When Howard E. Coftin and the Hudson or ganization built a car liko that in 1910, think what thoy are able to do now after their five years' accumulated ex perience. "All the lessons learned by years of Hudson experience are compounded in the sixes now being built. It is along these lines that the performances of older Hudson cars are valuable. It la only rarely that these elder members of the family are mentioned Yet now and again an instance of this kind has value. This is one of them." The Smpps-Booth Cars Triumph in a New Roll The Scripps-Booth car, in addition to Beau Brummel beauty, style and grace, continues to display extraor dinary might and endurance. Nature made all of the arrange ments for a recent Scripps-Booth rec ord. During a recent trip from Detroit to Cleveland by R. H. Spear In a Scripps-Booth car there was a heavy downpour of rain, which continued the enttre distance and made roads wfell-nigh impassable. Speed on this trip was not to be considered. Endurance was the thing. The doughty Scripps-Booth journeyed right along for forty miles on second gear through mud almost to the hubs and with axles dragging part of the way. Colors flying, however, as during the entire trip there was not the slightest mechanical trouble. A most remark able test—a test which left many bigger, heavier cars utterly Btranded at the roadside, sunk deep in the mud. It was a test which proved that the lightweight Scripps-Booth car, equipped with its perfect mechanism, is able to withstand and overcome road con ditions that completely overpower many heavier and higher priced cars. These features of endurance and power possessed by the Scripps-Booth no doubt explains why their car is be ing chosen by so many owners of big, heavy foreign cars, such as the Mer cedes. the Rolls-Royce, the Berllet, etc. The Scripps-Booth has all of the me chanical conveniences of these big cars and the further advantage of being light in weight, which features corn bine to make it a car practically un affected by weather or road conditions. The manufacturers have featured the Scripps-Booth for Its beauty.

Automobile Manufacturers Behind in 1916 Orders Indications from all over the coun try lead to the prediction that the coming year will be the greatest, in the history of the automobile Industry, the remarkable growth of which lias been the wonder of every class of businessmen, especially the financiers. During the 1915 selling season which has ,luat closed for practically every popular make, the outputs were closed out during the latter part of May or the first part of June. Already a large number of the more prominent have made their announcements in the newspapers of their plans for the com ing season. A few have obtained an early start and are already delivering cars. It is the experience of these few concerns which made plans - to meet the early dmand that causes the. prediction that the 191G season will be a most won derful one, for the anticipation of these wise ones was not enough and there is to-day a shortage of cars. The new models which were put out early have been grabbed up at a rate that factories have not been able to keep up with orders. In speaking of this situation in the automobile ilelcl Leo Anderson, sales manager of the Hupp Motor Company, says: "There has never been'anything like the present situation since the early days of the automobile industry when factories never thought of putting out machines in quantities. The demand for cars of popular price is the great est to-day that it has ever been de spite the fact that more machines are turned out every day than ever be fore. Duo to our big 1915 season we closed out early and made our plans for the early production of the 1916 types. These new models were first produced for our dealers' convention the first week in June and the pro duction started Immediately but so Model 38 touring car Is an advanced car throughout.

"The Hupp factory is now working night and day and we are making every effort to supply the demand. I have received at least a hundred tele grams in the last two days from deal ers asking us to liurry cars to them. We prided ourselves on foreseeing a big clamor for cars and made our plans accordingly but we never looked for anything like the present situa tion." B. F.
