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.

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

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.
