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. It Is
a car most harmonious In outline and

! 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

fast have the orders come in that <t
has thus far been impossible to keep
up with demands on the factory, and
this despite the fact that summer has
hardly started.
"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."
