WB HAT we prophesied about the automobile business came true. The demand for automobiles is far
■ beyond the capacity. Factories and machine shops are behind in their orders nearly 50 cent.
Thousands of customers who wanted 1915 now cars had to remodel their old cars In order
to he up to date. Chauffeurs and mechanics are in great demand to-day. We have had as hiffh as five
calls in one day for competent chauffeurs. We were unable to furnish them with such competent men
because a number of our students are getting positions hefore they finish with their school. Not
one of our graduates is out of employment to-day who started in school last January. They are earn
ing: from .* l S to $25 per week. They are working in factories, repair shops and as priyate chauffeurs.
" a " t more students in order to supply the public. Our full course of Automobile Instruction which
originally cost SSO, we ,are issuing now for $35, but on the Ist of October the price will be raised to
S4O, owing to the improvement of our machine shop. Remember the $35 were only the summer rates.
To-day is one of our outings for our pupils. We take trips once each month from 90 to 100 miles in
our outings in order to get our graduates acquainted with the country roads. 3Jake applications at
once In order to get in on the summer rates.

HARRISBURO AUTO CO,
LARGE DISTRIBUTORS
Sells More Reos Than Any Reo
Distributor Between New
York and Detroit
"The success of the Reo automobile
has been of a most wonderful charac
ter and has proved conclusively that a
concentration of time and energy to
one line of cars, wins out." says George
G. McF&rland, of the Harrisburg Auto
Co., largest distributors of Reos be
tween New York and Detroit.
"Several years ago Henry Ford told
the writer that he considered that
there were two wise automobile man
ufacturers in the*l'nited States, one
was himself and the other was R. E.
Olds. The argument advanced was
that these two men were practicallv
thfconly manufacturers in the United
St fres that had stuck to one model.
All they had done was improve the
weak parts but had made no radical
mechanical changes. That Mr. Ford's
statement was correct has been proved
conclusively inas much as he is ac
knowledged the richest manufacturer
in the automobile industry and R. E.
Olds stands second. Selling exclusively
one car and devoting your time to it
conscientiously, perfecting your sell
ing. service and repair system, has
proven a great factor in the success
of the Reo.
"For some time past the Harrisburg
Automobile Company have been de
voting their exclusive time and atten
tion to the Reo line of touring cars
and trucks with the result that during
the year ending August Ist. 1915. they
sold and delivered 403 new Reo tour
ing cars and 52 new Reo two-ton
trucks. They firmly believe that every
customer is satisfied with his pur
chase and with the attention he re
ceived after his purchase. The policy
of this firm is to take better care of
the customer after he has paid his
money than before. The satisfaction
and good words of the Reo owners has
warranted the Harrisburg Automobile
Company contracting with the Reo
Motor Car Company for eight hun
dred Reo pleasure cars and two hun
dred trucks, fifty-two-ton and 150
three-quarter ton trucks. This will
mean a volume of business that is
far in excess of that done by any other
Reo dealer between New York and
Detroit and probably as large a busi
ness as is done by any exclusive au
tomobile dealers in this part of the
trnited States. There is some credit
due Harrisburg when it is figured that
from this town over a million dollars'
worth of automobile business can
be handled within a season.
"The principle credit is due to the
wonderful car that the Reo people do
and always have made and coupled
to this the attention and the satisfac
tion given by our Reo service depart
ment is a large factor. The fact that
the owners buy a Reo for their second,
third and fourth cars is a positive
proof that they have been receiving
constant satisfactory attention.
"The principle changes in the Reo
for this coming season will be the
color of the paint and some little de
tailed alterations and conveniences—
no mechanical changes of any impor
tance were found necessary in this
practically perfected car. Satisfied
customers are the greatest advertise-

ments that any merchant can have.
You will always find a Reo owner a
satisfied autoraobilist. The policy of
the Reo Motor Tar Company has been
[never to cut quality—always to make
|it better if possible. While other man
lufacturers in dropping price found it
I necessary to incorporate in their car,
! material of a cheaper grade, the Reo
I people overcome this necessity by
making a larger quantity of cars, re
ducing the discount to the agent to
j some extent p.nd their own profits, hut
I never have out the quality. The new
line of Reo the Fifth will be superior,
if that is possible, to the cars sold
during 1915. Saving by using cheaper
material has never been a Reo idea

are not getting Just as good a car as

Students of Auto School
on Trip to Gettysburg
| Forty students of the Auto Trans
j portation School left this morning in
! automobiles for Gettysburg under the
j guidance of W. M. Felton, instructor
and manager of the school. Once a
j month the students are given a tour
to some interesting point. This gives
the students country road practice.
During week days the students get the
mechanical training and driving over
city streets necessary to make them
efficient. This school has placed a
j large number of students in this vi
icinity and does a great deal of repair
I work under Mr. Felton's direction.!
I which is invaluable to the students'
I who see the practical workings in this 1
way, similar to a mechanical clinic
j where automobiles are dissected and
, permits them to see and become fam
j iliar with interior workings.
Paige Making Spurt in
Sales and Production
The great building the Paige-De-1
troit Motor Car Company is adding to .
its plant has progressed so far that \
another 60 days will see it completed ,
and in operation.
The progress made is a source of'
1 great satisfaction to Paige officials
!who are straining every nerve and
resource in their efforts to keep pace l
I with the extraordinary demand for
| ears which prevails in all sections of;
I the country. Without the aid, how
j ever, oi increased factory facilities
production has already been speede.l
j up and greatly advanced over the rec
i ords of a few months ago. In fact
! there has been a steady movement for-
Iward all summer.
I This much desired manufacturing
| achievement is reflected in the very
| large increase in business, a record
which, of course, could not have been
made without the successful manage
ment of the manufacturing end of the
industry. August, 1915, shows an in
crease of about 300 per cent, in busi
ness done over the record of August.
1914. and if present plans are con
tinued successfully September will
show an increase of at least 500 per
cent.—all of which is excellent evi
dence of the demand for Paige cars.
These records will .however, be
very badly beaten when the new fac
tory building is operating a couple of
months from now. Much of the space
will be used for warehousing materials
—a very necessary provision when
production perhaps more than any
thing else will be the mechanical con
veyors—the modern system of assem
ibling cars that develops efficiency and
j speed to the very highest degree.
I "I predict." says Sales Manager]
Henry Krohn, "that by the first of
j January the Paige will be up at the top
i among the foremost producers of mo
'! tor ears."

Carranza's Plan to Be
Taken Up at Conference
By Associated Press
Washington. Sept. 11.—General Car
ranza's rejection of the Pan-American
appeals for a peace conference in
Mexico and his counter proposal for
a meeting with the diplomats at some
point along the Rio Grande to discuss
Mexican affairs "solely from an inter
national point of view," will be con
sidered by Secretary Lansing and the
other conferees at a meeting to take
place in Washington within the next
few days. It was suggested here to
day that Carranza's proposal probably
would be accepted as possibly opening
the way to a discussion through which
an agreement for the settlement of the
republic's affairs might be reached,
if the Carranza suggestion was accept
if the carranza suggestion was accept
ed the question of the establishment
of a provisional government in Mexi
co might be discussed as an interna
tional question, at the meeting be
cause practically all world powers
have interests in the republic and are
eager to have the long years of tur

Bather Drawn Through
12-Inch Pipe; Will Live
By Associated Press
Allenhurst, N. J., Sept. 11.—Samuel
Lass, of Xew York, physicians said to
day, probably will recover in spite of
one of the most terrible ordeals ever
experienced by a bather on the At
lantic coast. Mr. Lass plunged into
the bathing pool here, not knowing
that it had been closed for cleaning
and was sucked through a 12-inch
outlet pipe 250 feet long into the
ocean. Lass was drawn into the pipe
in the position of a diver, with his
hands above his head and was cast
out a quarter of a minute later with
both arms broken at the shoulder and
lacerated from head to foot.
Many Mexicans Reported
Returning to Republic
By Associated Press
Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 11.—About
two thousand Mexicans have left this
section for Mexico, according to figures
obtained here to-day. At one ranch
near Sebastian, Texas, all four Mexi
can tenant families have left, leaving
their crops unharvested. Other Mexi
caris who own land have abandoned
everything except household goods, in
their haste to get hack Into Mexico.
Many of these emigrating Mexicans
are what is;termed here "good Mexi
cans."
In the old way of washing
you do by main strength on the
wash-board what
does while you rest and without
boiling or scalding. In half the
time too, and the clothes are
whiter, sweeter and cleaner
than is possible by the old back
breaking way.
Just as wonderful for all household cleaning.
