BARNER, Manager Foreign Publication Pays Tribute to Packard In a four-page article in the last | issue of The Automobile Engineer, one of the leading motor car journals of England, a significant tribute is paid American cars In general and the Pack ard "Twin-Six" Is particular. After a brief discussion of general motor principles, the write takes up the twelve-cylinder car produced by the Packard Company and says In part: "The writer is not given to great en thusiasm over the running of a new ear. lor.g association with the trade in England and a studied critical atti tude regarding all cars, however good, has made him extremely susceptible to the small faults which might often be passed over had not the habit of an ticipating them become Ingrained.

From 100 up to 3,500 revolutions the engine was absolutely imperceptible, save for the carbureter hiss and a faint continu ous 'rustle' from the valves, mixed with the slight hum of the brushes on the commutator of the dynamo.

KING INCREASES FLOOR CAPACITY Larger Motor Dimensions and Carburetor With Change in Color Scheme i The Kins: Car Sales Company, of this city, announced the second eight cylinder product and the first popular priced eight, October 24, 1914. Claim ing to have the second largest number. of elght-c'.inder cars running In America thifj factory now announces the improved five-passenger eight-cylinder I King at sllsO, f. o. b.. Detroit. J2OO, less in price than the King eight brought out a year ago. i The new King eight has larger mo tor dimensions than the first eight- I cylinder King model offered to the pub- . lie a year ago. The new model having a I'4-inch bore and 5-tnch stroke. | Other modifications include a larger: carbureter, refinements In lubrication, I radiation and ignition. The same gen- j era! principles are employed in the, new Job as in the first King eight but one year's operation has given the Kins engineers suggestion from which they have benefited for a light flve-pas- j senger eight. The gcnoral color scheme j of the Kins has been changed from a I blue to a salon green body and hood, j with black fenders, running gear and | wheels. A fine gold stripe being used j to atmosphere the model. The apron which has been used on the back of the front seats has been removed. The one piece top-back emploed as standard for the tops on the new model. The i leather has been changed from trie bright to dull finish. Recently the King Motor Car Com pany announced an addition of 70,000 I square feet of floor space to their [ present manufacturing equipment. This was necessary because of their plana ; for increased production. This In crease in production figures together with what they determine to be thoughtfulness in purchasing materials before the rise of price In certain ends of this business are given as the main reasons why the King can bring out an improvevd eight at a lesser price. The King Motor Car Company is one of the motor car manufacturing con cerns to make a rapid advance in the Industry by marketing an eight-cyl inder product. This statement seems j .to be borne out by the fact that the | King Motor Car Company has had a! sufficient volume of business In the i past year to move up to place among the automobile manufacturers of to day which give them choice ground | floor space at both the New York and ! Chicago automobile shows. With the increased number of eight- I cylinder motor cars which liave been ! announced during the past year this • company lays claim to dominating the 1 popular-priced field for the eight cylinder car. According to Sales Man ager R P. Bishop, the King Motor Car Company intend to hold the lead they have In this field. "It has been our endeavor" he wrote the King dealers, "to absolutely hold this position. We have been successful by our profit sharing plan with employes to keep ! our overhead expense down. We have i mintalned that eight-cylinder motor, 'carries a manufacturing proposition j that with quantity production and prop-, cr .attention to finance and overhead : we could influence our list down- I wards. We have a comfortable lead in I many respects and with the strong ] dealer organization we have built upi in the past four months our product lias moved steadily allowing us to take * advantage of discounts In purchasing! materials, which we will give the pub lic the benefit of in the list price of I the model we are now announcing." j New Advertising Manager For Chalmers Motor Co. Announcement was made yesterday , hv Paul Smith, vice-president in charge of sales and advertising of the Chal mers Motor Company of the appoint ment of Gail Murphy, to the position of advertising manager for the Chalmers Company. Mr. Murphy resigns a position as ad- i vertising manager of the Art Metal Construction Company, Jamestown, N. Y.. to affiliate himself with the Chal mers organization. He entered on his new duties, Monday, October 25. Previous to leaving Detroit a year ago to oin the Jamestown concern. Mr. Murphy spent three years in the Adver tising Department of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company. While with Burroughs he served for a time as head of the Division of Information rind Research preparing literature re lating to the product of that company. His work with the Art Metal Com pany thoroughly established his ability as an executive. He organized an ad vertising department, formulated an advertising policy, and started a cam paign which brought many new dealers into the organization. Paige Sales For October Already Show Big Advance During the first fifteen days of Octo ber. or thirteen actual working days, more Paige cars were shipped out of the factory than In any other equal period in the history of the Paige-De troit Motor Car Company. As a matter of fact October sales al ready show an increase of 600 per cent, over October of last year; that Is, pro viding the shipments and sales for the remainder of the month show propor tionate volume and activity. "This record." says Sales Manager Henry Krohn. "we believe Is extra ordinary in view of the fact that Octo ber generally considered is one of the slow months of the year. Yet our increase of 600 per cent, for the first half of October has a broader signific ance than as an Indication of Paige popularity and success and the ability of the Paige to deliver cars. This record also reflects the stability and soundness of the motor car in dustry as a whole. It shows how it has advanced from the exploitation of a commodity that not long ago WHS regarded with uncertainty and, at the best, as a form of luxury with a doubt ful future, to the sound position nf a staple utility. And, finally, it Is excel lent evidence of the nation-wide pros perity that now prevails and the busi ness confidence that has become firm ly established." UARRISBURG ftfjjjftl TELEGRAPH Chalmers Company to Hold Sales Convention To discuss sales, service and adver tising plans foi- the coming year, over 500 dealers from all sections- of the country are exoected to attend the annual Chalmers convention which takes place In lJetrolt November 16 to 17. Daily business sessions will be held at the general offices o fthe company during the three days meeting, and ad dresses will be made by factory ex perts and officials. Improved merchandising plans for handling an increased volume of sales sre to be made a large part of the dis cussion. as will Important advances in the service plan for Chalmers owners. The entertainment program will con tain few of the hackneyed forms of amusement heretofore doled out to dealers, as an enterprising committee lias promised some genuine novelties for each evening. Reservations have been made at three of the largest Detroit hotels for the visiting dealers during the period of the convention. This year's Chalmers convention while primarily to outline next year's campaign, also celebrates the closing of a record three month's business by the Chalmers company. Increased pro duction has kept pace with Increased sales ot the tig Chalmers plant and all indications are for a year of unparal leled prosperity. Overtime Work Necessary at the National Factory More than 500 men are working over time in order to rush the completion of the new faetory building of the Na tional Motor Vehicle Company. The In creased facilities are needed to handle orders that have been received by the' National Company. | Officials at the National plant hope to be in part of their new buildings In j thirty days and expect to have all of 1 the im-fp;iscd space within sixty days. | The National Co. is spending about I SIOO,OOO to enlarge its plant, and the ! new buildings are two stories high and 67S feet in length. This means that | tue length of the additions is approxi- ; matelv two city blocks. j "We now have," said George M. Dick son. the National Company general j manager, "main- more orders than I ever before in the fifteen years' exist- I ence of the National Company. This . remarkable increase is directly attri buted to the National Highway cars. The new cars are being built In both I six and twelve cylinder models. They j have proved popular, judging from the | < rders that we continue to rece've. I "Even with an old organizatt .n. and most of the Foremen and department : managers at the National plant have been here from five to ten years, it is , no easv task to Increase our production . fast enough to accommodate the de mand. The new buildings will greatly great extent the strain on the various departments. 353 Miles in One Day With Scripps-Booth Car Not a race—just a day's journey 353 miles in a Scripps-Booth car. R. H. Spear, general manager of the Scripps-Booth Company of Detroit, and Mrs. Spear decided that they would like to Sunday with Harry Newman, their representative at Chicago. So thev hopped Into th6lr light-weight Srlnps-Booth. of a Saturday morning, and. presto. Saturday evening they sat down to dine with Harry. Then, just to show that there was "nothing up his sleeve," Mr. Spear | turned the car around and did the same trick over again Monday—driving the Scripps-Bootli back home, from" Chicago to Detroit—same distance, 353 miles. | He met J. P. McEvoy. artlst-humor ist of the Chicago Herald. In his I Scripps-Booth, just outside of Bryan, Ohio. A "wonder-roadster," said Mr. I McEvoy. as he placed his order for a [1916 Scripps-Booth car. Mr. McEvoy was just returning from Cleveland to Chicago. The Hght-weight handlness of the Scripps-Booth car and its exceptional riding comfort give It a higher aver age speed over ordinary roads than the largest of cars, except racing cars in the hands of racing drivers. Mr. Spear Is r\ot a racing man. Neith er is the Scripps-Booth a racing car. It Is featured as a luxury car for the ultra-fashionable for those persons already owning big high-priced cars, but possessing the Scripps-Booth for just such "stunts" as that performed by Mr. Spear on his over-Sunday trip just described. The Immediate and remarkable suc cess of the Scripns-Booth car is the talk of automobile row. It was placed on the market only this season, but already it is drawing enthusiastic com ment from both hemispheres. Reo Control Makes It the Safety First Car "My idea of 'safety first' is best ex emplified in the control of Reo cars." said R. E. Ingersoll. manager of east ern branches of the Reo Motor Car Company. "It has come to pass, especially in the congested metropolitan district, that the driver of an automobile must be everlastingly awake to prevent acci dents of one sort or another. Some times two feet, or the smallest frac tion of a second, will represent the dif ference between life and death or at least grave injury to a person or seri ous damage to property. "Because of these conditions, sim plicity of control is of first import ance and Reo owners may well rejoice because of the advantage their cars have over all others on the market. There Is a standing wager around the Reo establishments that on the basis of a speed of twenty miles an hour, a u . ca 7.w an . be st °PPed twenty feet short of the stopping point of any other automobile on the market. "We feel that we are justified In de signating the Reo as the original •safety first' automobile." PARTY FOR STANDARD BEARERS Special to The' Telegraph Slech.inicsburg, Pa.. Oct. 30.—Last evening the Misses Sara and Hazel Martin entertained the Standard Bear ers. a missionary society of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, at their home i.n Ijforth Market street. Ghosts re ceived the guests and Halolwn'en deco rations of jack-o'-lanterns, corn shock 3 and autumn leaves made the rooms gay. ELECTRIC POWER OF AUTO FACTORY Forty Thousand Horsepower of Electric Current Alone For Overland Works What Is declared tc be the largest industrial contract for electrtc power ever given to a central station, was placed recenUy by the Willys-Over land of Toledo. When the contract is completed, the generating company will be able to furnish the equivalent of 40,000 horsepower of electric cur rent. Electrical engineers figuring on the work, declare that this power is fully as great as that required for lighting a city of half a million inhabitants. Five great power cables will be re quired to transmit this tremendous amount of current. Two of the cables were completed about a year ago. They are four and a half miles long, each carrying 23,000 volts, which is the highest voltage ever carried by an underground cable. The cables hardly were In operation before the phenomenally rapid growth of the Overland plant made it neces sary' to install a third. This has Just been completed and Its final tests attracted the attention of cable manu facturers In all parts of the country. On account ot the Importance of the cable and the tremendous load it must carry, as much attention was given to making the hundred joints as if the workmen were engaged In laboratory tests. Nothing was left to chance, the smallest details were guarded even to the extent of doing no work on rainy days or when the men's hands were covered with per spiration. This was done to preclude any possibility of moisture in the cable joints. The cable, to be capable of carry ing the load, had to test out for 23,- 000 volts. Six different tests were taken under a variety of conditions anil each time the big power conveyor easily carried 33,000 volts, which was considered remarkable by the ex perts who supervised the work. When the third cable was ordered, It was figured that the Overland would have sufficient power to last them for years to come. But the growth of their business in the last few months has upset all calculations and before the third cable was even tested out, plans had to be made for two more. The adoption of higher efficiency such as this is a good example of the foresight and manufaeturiifj? ingenu ity which has developed the Willys- Overland Company in a few short years, from a very small beginning to one of the greatest industrial organi zations in the world. Whenever it has been possible to improve the factory's production fa cilities, by substituting electric power for a less efficient agent, that change has been made. The Overland was the first auto mobile concern to use electric heating furnaces for the enameling of steel parts. The results obtained from these ovens proved so satisfactory that they are now being Installed by practically all of the larger motor car manufac turers in the country. Hil Ensminger Motor Co.
