ENCLOSED CARS ARE IN DEMAND Convertible Car a Great Con venience For Summer or Winter Touring Fall and Winter business in auto mobiles promises to show more start ling gains over past years than even the wonderful summer records if the shipments of ears from" Detroit dur ing October is to be a criterion of what to expect. Almost, without excep tion. the Detroit companies showed increases and with the orders now in, even the rosy forecasts for a big enclosed car season will be surpassed. The country seems to have gone wild over enclosed cars and sections which never before have taken cars of the' sedan and limousine types are taking them in large quantities. "We have shipped more Hupmo biles this October than for the same month any previous year," says Anderson, sales and advertising man ager of the Hupp Motor Car Com pany-. "Our production is getting bet ter every day, but we can't keep up with the orders. We shipped 1,238 machines during the month of Octo ber and our orders were fifty per cent, greater than last October. "The increase in the demand for enclosed cars has been the most stnrt linK part of these orders. In this particular line we have shipped dur ing October HOO per cent, more en closed cars than a year ago. We were prepared for a big demand for this type of car, but all calculations have been upset and we have been compelled to change our plans and increase our output, of limousine, se dan and year 'round touring types. "The entire country is going wild over the winter cars. It does not seem to apply to any one section but is general. The greatest surprise is the demand for sedans in the south west. Of course, this type car is good for any season of the year and the southern motorist is now using it for protection from the sun during the day and cold in bad weather. "It is safe to predict that the en closed car business of all companies throughout the country will double that of last year, but only the future will tell just what the limit will be. We have had to change our calcula tions for Increases every day and to morrow the new orders will probably cause a new shift. "This is not only the condition at the Hupp Company but from talks with other manufacturers I under stand it is general. That shows a staple and sound foundation and cer tainly shows that the demand is not created by a fad, but by a new order of things. "I figure that now that the aulo is Used as much 'for business as for pleasure that the average citizen throughout the United States needs his car as much, if not more, in the winter and in order to get protection from the cold he is ordering his en closed car which he uses for business during the day and for the family pleasures in the evening." Chandler Company Will Form Larger Organization I l '. C. Chandler, president of the Chandler Motor Car Company, an nounced to-day that another com pany of the same or similar name would shortly be formed to acquire the outstanding capital stock and business of the present company. The capital stock of the successor company will be ten million dollars ($10,000,000) all common. There will be no preferred stock or bonds, and no liabilities except those incidental to current business. Of the capital stock three million dollars ($3,000,000) will be held in the treasury to provide for the fu ture development of the rapidly grow ing Chandler business. The remaining seven million dol lars ($7,000,000) will be immediately issued; this stock has already been disposed of. The transaction which has been arranged through the Bank ing House of Hornblower and Weeks of New York and Boston, will re sult in adding a large amount of cash to the working capital of the busi ness. thereby putting the company in a position to take full advantage of the opportunity which the remarkable popularity of the Chandler car has created. The control and management of the enlarged corporation will lie in the hands of the mine men that, have made the Chandler business such a success hitherto, F. <'. <'handler will he president; <K. lOinise. tirst vice president; W. S. Mead, second vice president: Samuel Kegar, treasurer; I. Grossman, secretary. The principal offices of the com pany will continue to be in Cleveland, Ohio, where its factory is located. The capacity of this factory has re cently been doubled, but it will be still further enlarged to provide for a production of at least 20,000 cars during 1916. Mr. Chandler was aptricular to an nounce that there would be no change in the personnel of the business, and that the entire staff, including the engineers and department heads whose energy and intelligent team work has helped to make the Chan dler concern what it is, will be re tained in the new organisation, in which it is believed that, their ability will tind wider opportunity. pOOO USED^UTOS^^^ \ IN OUR BIG STOCK j| EVERYONE A REAL BARGAIN_J^ , 2916 HUP touring: fullv equipped: 1706.

II «• • • HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Oldsmobile Plant Will Go in For Larger Production The activities of the Olds Motor Works, during; the present big season for automobiles, are being closely watched, since the company in th< past two seasons has completely changed its production program. In stead of t»he comparatively small out put of high-priced machines in former years, annual production of the Olds plant now runs into the thousands and the company is ranked among the largest producers of cars in this coun try. It was the four cylinder Olds which made possible the quick transition from a small to a large production. This light car made its appearance :n the Spring of 19X4 and was followed this season by a greatjy enlarged an>l improved four. Model 43, which in point of demand has surpassed by far any car the factory previously has turned out. Sales of the "43" have kept well ahead of production, which has been on a basis of more than two cars this season to one car in 1914. During the months August, Sep tember and October the sales of the Model 43 Olds, showed a gain of 133 per cent, over the sales of the pre ceding model for the same period last years, and this gain was limited by the lack of cars. Approaching winter does not show nnv signs of slackening the demand. Sales Manager ,T. V. Hall states tlirit the company is increasing its manu facturing floor space to enable it to handle the present and future de mands for its product. He says that fortunately the company is in an enviable position, with regard to fac tory buildings, having completed n large three-story assembly plant shortly before the fast selling four cylinder car was introduced. Jeffery Announces Sedan at Sensational Price The Thomas B. Jeffery Company, not satisfied with astonishing the mo tor car world with the famous Jeffery Four at SI,OOO, has gone one step further by invading the enclosed car field with a coach possessing the lux ury of this type of car at a moderate price. The new car announced this week is the Jeffery Four Sedan. It has all the richness of finish, the grace of line ind luxury which has heretofore ehar icterized the ttnest custom-made en closed cars—yet the price is only $1,165 —and the Sedan top is easily removed, converting the car into an open machine at the first approach of warm weather. The contour of the new top, which is part of the Jeffery Sedan, harmon zes perfectly with the body proper. In fact, the entire car is built com plete from the ground up in the Jef fery factory, and it looks for all the world like a permanent enclosed car. The roof of the car is laminated wood construction covered with a very line quality of top material. The rear section of the body of the top is metal, ind the supports and sills are of a very substantial character. Yet with all this streituth and appearance of per manence, the weight of the top is but approximately two hundred pounds. Taking into consideration the removal of the summer top. this makes a total added weight of a little over one hun- Ircd pounds. The glass in the windows is of 3-1 C ; nch crystal plate, ground and polish ed. In the broad forward windows and in the doors, the glass is arranged ranged to drop half way. The rear window and the two rear side win dows are provided with silk portiere curtains. Because of the substantial construc tion of the top and careful padding be tween the top and main body of the The true Sedan characteristics tin retained by the use of the regular Jel fery Four divided front seats —there- by eliminating the two forward doors and doing away with the usual panel between the rear and front doors, "his gives the driver a broad unob structed view, and permits the long unbroken lines which are so in de mand in the high priced enclosed cars. Utilize Motor Car For Many Different Purposes "There is apparently no limit to the ways and means of utilizing the auto mobile for business purposes," says John N. Willys, president of the Wil lys-Overland Company, Toledo. "In the course of a year hundreds of let ters are received by this company from Overland car owners, explaining some novel way of using pleasure cars in their business. "One of the most interesting of these letters was called to my attention re cently. It. contained a photograph showing an Overland touring car that after live years of service as a pleasure car, was converted by its owner into a mine motor for hauling cars in u coal mine at Brlsbin, Pa. "The owners found that this Over land car took the place of a $2,000 mine motor and ii certainly has given the most efficient service at its unique task. "It is in constant use hauling cars from the mine to the coal breakers, with an average hauling capacity of lifteen lilted cars per trip. "Before the Overland's installation the company used mules for this work and It was found that the car could accomplish an equal amount of work in much less time and at considerably less cost. Tonnage has increased 500 per cent, and the Overland takes care of it. "The car to-day is vastly different in appearance than when it left the factory live years ago. The body, hood over the motor and steering wheel still remain unchanged, but the wheels have been replaced by heavy flanged iron wheels of railroad type. The chassis have been fastened to a heavy I THE | I JEFFERY FOURI H ♦♦ XX • it ♦♦ ♦♦ H *■ n ♦♦ ,'\ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ■ ♦♦ 3 " ♦♦ ♦♦ S People who formerly paid S2OOO to SSOOO ~ for an automobile now find the very qualities H t>hey have always insisted upon—in Lhe H f| Jeffery Four, at> SIOOO.

"The mechanical units, such as transmission and differential Rears, still remain the same and the cost of making the change was very small." Shortage of Cars Because Lack of Raw Material Never before in the history of the industry has the material market been so unruly, declared George M. Diek son, general manager of the National Motor Vehicle Company. "This means," says Dickson, "that there is going to lie a shortage of cars next Spring. Manufatcurers lind it diffi cult to increase the production in the ratio that sales are increasing. Cars are certain to sell at a premium when the selling rush of the Spring season begins. It was thought that the day of "preniium-for-deliveries" had pnss ed, but it now appears that it will be in evidence again this year. If it were possible for a man to go into the mar ket now and buy for January and Feb ruary delivery, cars which arc to-day the best sellers he would net himself a good profit when he turned them a few months later. Then, too, an in crease in price is more than likely on account of the material shortage. Al ready some factories have found it necessary to revise their prices and it would not be surprising to sec other companies forced to increase their prices by the first of the year. "We have been fortunate in getting a fair proportion of the raw material that is needed to our production, though the shortage is a great handi cap. Never before was the material market In suci) an unruly condition. Prices on commodities that heretofore have been considered stable, now jump from 2 to 20 per cent, within a week, and even at the increased prices, certain kinds of material-—-aluminum casting for Instance—are hard to ob tain." "It has long been the policy of the National factory to have contracts for raw material fa.- in advance of the fac tory production. ' The wisdom of this policy is now paying big dividends for had we not looked well ahead, it would be almost impossible to get the re quired quantity at this time." "Another thing that Is of big help to us now is the fact that the National factory owns and operates Its own machine shop. With out own equip ment and our own trained employes, we are able to turn out promptly many of the desired parts which would hold up the whole proceedings if we had to get these on the open market." "It is a well known fact that it is nearly impossible to buy machine shop equipment at this time on ac count of the market having practically been cornered by munition factories producing war orders." "The National factory has a high credit standing with the producers of raw material. These large producers! NOVEMBER 6, 1015. of raw material now have more busi ness than they know what to do with, and as a result they are accepting only orders they think desirable. Of course the credit standing of the buyer plays an important part." Studebaker Crosses Five Mountain Ranges on Trip That the 1916 Studebaker possesses abundant power for meeting the con tingencies of long distance touring was satisfactorily demonstrated in the drive made by C. T. Johnson, from the Detroit factories, to his home at Moscow. Idaho. Mr. Johnson encoun tered mires, rocky and gullied roads, | long crooked hills and five sharply graded mountain ranges, but the: Studebaker motor at no time required j outside assistance. His wife and j daughter oined him en route and they carried a camping outfit, getting all the healthful enjoyment to be had from an automobile tour through the wilds, over plains and through the Western Rockies. The little Missouri river was crossed over the railway bridge, because of a washout. While crossing the Continental divide, John son met motoring parties who were using horses to make the steep climb, and still others who were forced to tarry while their motor cooled off. The Studebaker gave him no trouble, and it was necessary to go into low gear for short distances on but a few occasions, in taking steep mountain grades. Nor was carbureter adjust ment required for making these as cents. ■ | 4 and 6 cylinder pleasure cars; % to 3-ton trucks. Harrisburg Auto Co. I || THIRD AND HAMILTON STREETS T j 1 t —— m .
