BIGGEST ELECTRIC CAR FACTORY Makers of Detroit Electric Who Have Local Branch Arc Largest of Kind White Detroit is famed as the cen ter of the automobile industry, it is perhaps not so well known that for years this city has held within its bounds the largest factory in the world devoted to the manufacture of electric pleasure vehicles This plant is that of the Anderson Electric Car Company, builders of the Detroit Electric. In this plant, covering eleven acres of floor space, are produced more than one-third of all the standard electric pleasure cars built to-day. Not only is this factory the largest of its kind, but it Is also the most completely equipped with up-to-date machinery and devices for securing ac curate and rapid pro'duction. It com pares favorably in equipment with any gasoline car factory that can be named. Large production has made it both practical and wise to equip this fac tory with the best-known facilities in automobile building. From the start the Anderson Electric Car Company were firmly convinced that a car that is actually manufactured is superior to a car that is merely assembled. The development of the electric .-ar indus try has proven this principle to be correct. Xo doubt few people are aware of the fact that most electric pleasure cars to-day are assembled proposi tions. In the case of a small manu facturer there is really no other al ternative than to assemble the cars because large investment in machin ery and factory equipment is of course unwise for the small quantity pro ducer. For years the makers of parts for gasoline cars have centered their ef forts in the direction of building these parts efficiently and as cheaply as the manufacturer of the complete car, and to a large extent they have succeeded. However, no such efforts have been expended in the electric car tleld. That is to say no parts makers have been working to standardise parts for electric pleasure cars. The natural re sult is that the builder ot' an as- I sembled electric is forced by circum- I stances to purchase many parts that i were designed and built primarily for use in gasoline cars. George Bacon, chief engineer of the Anderson Electric Car Company, states: "In view of this situation we | have preferred from the start to build the Detroit Electric as a manufac tured car, not as an assembled car. We have preferred to produce our own parts instead of buying miscel laneous parts in the open market and putting them together. Large pro duction, of course, has enabled us to do this, whereas if our production were small it would be folly to choose any other course than that of assem bling. We consider the record of the Detroit Electric in sales and in serv ice due largely to the fact that it is a manufactured car. "In the Detroit Electric factory are built bodies, motors, controllers, rear axles, front axles and batteries, as well as small parts required, because bv actually manufacturing these parts, w'e are able to secure absolute machine accuracy in all the essentials instead of near-accurate hand work. "We have worked on the basis that largei- production makes possible bet ter workmanship, lower manufactur ing cost and lower selling cost. 'As an indication of the care given to cars in this factory, every front axle is specially treated in the grind ing and polishing departments before paint is applied. This burnishing re moves any scales or rust, so that when the axle is painted, the paint retains its luster and smoothness, instead of chipping off, as is so often the case. "One. of the features of the Detroit Electric factory is what is known as the silence room." Here every motor is given a test before being "actually placed In the car. The motor is at tached to the rear mechanical sys tem and set in motion. No motor that fails of absolute silence in operation is allowed to pass. "Another indication is the careful inspection that is observed through out the factory is the department in spectors' written report. One of them on one of the vanadium steel foot pedals reads, Milled out too much.' "Now as everyone knows, a foot pedal is not considered a vital part of a car. Moreover, there i s not one chance in a hundred thousand of any thing ever happening to that pedal, 'it might have been given an O. K with perfect security yet it was returned as defective and scrapped, simply be cause it fell short of being absoiutelv accurate. "Every vital part of Detroit Elec tric oars is built in the Detroit Elec tric plant. W Ithin two years over one hundred thousand dollars has heen in vested in the latest improved machin ery for the economical handling of this work. "The men who form the aluminum for Detroit Electric bodies are the highest grade workmen employed anywhere. They receive six to nine dollars a day. They are artists rather than mechanics. "Aluminum is used for the window mouldings, the roof, the body panels the hoods and fenders where strength and lightness are essential. In addi tion to being strong and light, alumi num lends itself readily to artistic shapes. Approximately two hundred thousand pounds of aluminum is used in this work per year. A l« vidence w hat we think of the difference between a manufac tured and an assembled car, we be i "rJ 8 . sa w p t S, Bay thal onp of our 1916 Detroit Electric models has three times the working life of 1910 model. This is largely because this years models are more completely manufactured in our own shops than ever before, and because of large pro duction we have been able to install the most improved methods of manu facture." The Anderson Electric fompanv re cently established an local office at I.lnden and Shrub streets, in charge of C. B. Hoffer. Hupmobiles Numerous in the Philippines Hupmobiles continue to be the most popular machines in the Philippine Islands, according to statistics just re ceived by_ Vice-President Joseph R Drake, of th° Hupp Motor Car Com pany. from the Philippine automobile olrectory of registered motor vehicles up to June 30. 1915. in fact, there are more Hupmobiles in Uncle Sam's west ern possession than anv other two makes and within six of'being double af many as any other automobile of any price. According to the latest statistics published by the Estrella Auto Palace, of Manila, there are 488 Hupmobiles re-?'stered with a well known popular priced make second with 247 and third with 228. Registrations in the Philippines are given out semiannually and the Hup mobile has led by a wide margin in the last four reports, covering a period of two and a half years. This is the sec ond report in which the Detroit-made car shows a higher total than the next I two leading machines. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Taxicab Service Shows Remarkable Tire Test One of the most remarkable tire tests on record was made recently tn Oakland, Cal.. where records of the service rendered by the tires used on a line of taxlcabs operated by the city were kept. The tires used were Diamond Squeegee Treads, thirty of thein being placed In service, under the super vision of James Ready, foreman of the corporation yards. Mr. Ready's report shows that the thirty tires gave a total service amounting to 198,972 miles, an aver age of 6,332.1 miles per tire. Re adjustments wore asked on only two of the thirty tires, which, considering the circumstances, appears to be quite remarkable. Taxicab service Imposes the most severe tests to which tires can be sub jected. Fraquent stopping and start- Ins is very hard on tires, and taxlcabs start and stop more frequently than cars in any other kind of service. It is a fact, too, that taxlcabs are likely to encounter much roads than those over which otheY cars are run. The taxi driver is not permitted to pick out the roads that are. best suited for automobile traffle. He must Bet to his destination by the most direct route, and this Is likely to be over rough or muddy roads or upon roads where street car tracks furnish the only means of Betting through. Running in street car tracks Is par ticularly hard on tires. Taxis, as a rule, are heavy cars, and in addition to tlieir own walght they are pretty likely to carry extra he»i v y lords. Tt would be difficult, indeed, to find a more severe test upon tires than they get in regular taxicab service. The mileage records of the thirty Dia mond Squeegee Tread tires used on the Oakland taxis appear, therefore, to constitute strong proof of the wearing dualities of thesa tires. The fact that only two of the tires were returned lor adjustment is a further Indication of the general ex cellence of Diamond Squeegee casings. Individual rcordr of the tires show that the greatest mileage was rendered by a 31x4 tire, which delivered 11,638 miles. The next best was a 31x3'» tire, which pave 10.310 miles: tli« third, a 31x4. which traveled 10,196 miles, and the fourth, a Slx3C, 9.576 miles. Woman An Influential Factor in Car Purchase Just to what extent the woman is responsible for the great number of automobiles being sold everv month Is a phase of the automobile business hard to determine. "The fact remains, however, that the feminine influence plays a very im portant part in nearly every automo bile sale. Women in general are very fond of a nice car. This being the incentive, the influence spreads with great proportions in every corner of the globe. Her influence nine times In ten is the stimulus for the man's attention and interest in automobiles" says President E. W. Allen, of the -Mien Motor Company, Fostoria. Ohio, in 9 recent interview. He continued by stating: "I am quite positive that the great demand for Alien cars this season was due to the tl,eir enhancing appearance. V\ ith the addition of the boat-shaped. i streamline body, the beauty which i*| further exemplified by its color of sub dued olive ffreen. the car actually cap tivates the feminine eye. 'Stepping into the car, she finds roominess, ease and comfort, which is produced by a longer wheelbase and underslung springs used in the rear construction, especially designed to produce comfortable riding. "It is quite evident that women are as able to handle the steering wheel as a man—indeed, the dav of the ehaufteuse is here." Many Freight Cars Are Needed For A*!to Shipping The enormous demands made on the railroads by motorcar companies is little realized by tlie public. The aver age man reads of the thousands of au tomobiles being produced each year but he gives no thought to the com plicated task of distributing these cars' about the country. But it is a subject to which the traf fic departments nf the motorcar plants have given considerable thought and attention and many ways have been worked out to utilize the last bit of space in the freight cars. The method used by Dodge Brothers is typical. From this big plant at De troit completed motorcars are shipped five to the freight car. This is accom plished by virtually arranging for up per and lower berths for the cars. In loading, a complete car is run into one end of the freight car. Chain tackles are attached to the roof of the car at either end of the automobile and it is lifted to the top of the car. A staunch frame work is built under it after the wheels have ben detachd. It is carefully blocked and braced and another car run underneath. The wheels remain on this car and they are care fully blocked. Two cars are packed in the other end of the freight car in the same fashion and the fifth motorcar is placed in the center of the car. All the cars are carefully covered with heavy paper. Buyer of Automobile Shows Discrimination That the automobile buyer of to day selects a car like he chooses a neighbor, and pays accordingly, is a theory advanced by the manager of Pennsylvania Auto Sales Company, distributor of National cars in Harris burg. In explaining his logical and con vincing reasoning, he said. "Regard ing Sixes—and the kind of man who chooses a National Highway Six. On# thing is an assured and accepted fact about motor cars of to-day—the Six is alright. Everybody, no matter what else he thiriks. likes the Six. The mid dle name of motor car to-day is Six.

CLEVELAND, OHIO E5! aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiinmiimiiiiiiinuiuis "Among Sixes, the National High way Six occupies a particular position in a certain motor car stratum, which can best be illustrated by describing the man who buys in that closs. "I have in mind a house—a resi dence—a pretty good-sized house on a good street in a good city, A typical owner of the National Highwliy Six lives there. He has moved into that house and into that neighborhood be cause it has seemed the natural thing for him to do.. His kind of people live in that neighborhood and that is why he is there. Three or four blocks to the east or west wouldn't do. In a business way this man Is pretty big. He does not have to own a bargain automobile. In fact, the automobile he buys must stack up pretty well with the house in which he lives. His house is not an extravagant house; neither is his car, but both are way above the average. Automobiles may be grouped into classes or "neighbor hoods." "This man naturally gravitates to ward an automobile 'neighborhood' just like he gravitated to a house neighborhood. He decides on a Six because he is a sensible seeker after the. golden mean. In studying the situation, this man finds that aboutthe onl ysix cylinder car that hits his mark is the National Highway Six. This car wlill go with his house and will adequately express his character and bespeak to a meas ure his standing In the world. He knows that the National has lines. They are somehow different from the lines of other cars. He knows that the National has a pedigree. It rather strikes his fancy to own a car that has had racing ancestors. He knows about the National com pany—builders for fifteen years of good motor cars, and pioneers In the youngest of the world's great indus tries. And he likes the name 'High way.' He has owned automobiles long enough to w'ant to use them. That means trips. It means roads—long roads. He likes the name 'National Highway Six.' It seems to 'fit' his neighborhood. Veteran Jackson Cars Make Big Mileage Most of us are in he habit of figur ing a motorcar's Ufa as between three OCTOBER 23, 1915. and four years. The Jackson Automo bile Company often receives authentic, information on cars that have run six years or more with little sign of wear. Tn a recent interview. Sales Manager Mathews, of the Jackson Company, mentioned several instances where owners had taken the trouble to write to the factory of their experiences. "J. R. Stains, a garage man of Buf falo, was so interested In the record of an old Jackson car that visited his place for overhauling, that he sent the facts to the factory. According to Mr. Stains, the car has been run for five vears. piling up a total mileage of 65,- 000 miles. The owner is a contractor who carries heavy implements and equipment constantly and the car has been given the hardest kind of usage. The car's motor is as silent as most new cars. Mt. Stains says the owner expects to run his car for three more years, before trading it in on a new model. "Another man who has driven liis Jackson for live years is Walter L.. Tomlin, of Mtckleton. N. J., who has run 30,000 miles in that time. Mr. Tom lin exp.ects twenty thousand more miles out of his car before parting company with it. Backing up Tomlin's claim is M. S. Geary, of Sniithport, Pa., who has driven his Jackson car some 36,000 mils and lias no Intention of buying a new car for some ears to come. "A remarkable feature of these rec ords is that none of the owners claim to have given their cars more than ordinary good care.
