Cadillac Men Taught to Know Car Thoroughly Going to school In overalls, working | hard in class, and ending the course i with an examination including a drive i or the automobile—this is an experi ence no boy's school days ever in j eluded, but It is what happens as a i regular thing to the service men's ! class at the Cadillac plant in Detroit. A standard Cadillac Eight Is the subject on which the scholars are In structed. The school Is made up of the service men. employed by Cadillac dealers all over the country, and Cad illac owners are the chief beneficiaries of the Instruction they receive while in charge of the factory expert. No more than eight men are taken in a class, the company believing that proper Individual instruction cannot be given to a greater number at one time. The course covers a period of two weeks. The first work is to take down the car completely. Body and fenders come off, and the chassis is taken apart to the last bolt and nut. Then begins the work or reassembling, I and as this progresses, particular at j tention is given to the various adjust j ments. Special instruction Is given on j the electrical system and an Insight 1 into Cadillac manufacturing methods 1 is afforded by a trip through every 1 department of the plant. After the car has been reassembled comes the real test. The. class Is taken for a ride in the car. At a convenient spot the instructor stops the car and | the class is invited to alight and be come interested in the surrounding country. While they are so absorbed, the Instructor installs a defective coil, carburetor or some other part in place of the good part, or devises some other way of disabling the car to as certain the Ingenuity of the men. The j class is not permitted to proceed un | til the trouble has been located and j remedied, and the car put In flrst class running order. This is followed by a rigid written examination and the class is disbanded, to be followed by ; another. Each man's examination paper is forwarded to the dealer who ! sends him to the factory. This school has been a feature of the Cadillac policy since 1910. The attendants come from all parts of the United States and Canada, as well as from foreign countries. International Among the First Trucks Built A truck that is distinctively differ- I ent in type from the average is the ! International, which has built lip a world-wide trade that covers almost every city and village, and is used ex | tensively throughout the rural dis- I tricts. In speaking or the truck's ad -1 vantages In daily commerce, Charles iJ. Stevens, in charge of the motor | truck division of the International | Han-ester Company in Harrisburg said: | "The International Harvester Com ! pany having more than 76 years' ex- I perlence in manufacturing were ! among the first to enter the motor I truck industry, and without any han ! dicap were the most successful. The I International motor truck factory is Ithe largest in the world devoted ex- I clusively to the manufacture of com tmercial cars. The business firms to-day are more | consnderate in selecting a service car, | taking into consideration the reliabil ! ity of the manufacturer and their fa cilities as a service protecUon. "The increased cost of horses and their maintenance is one good reason why merchants of all classes are con sidering motor trucks as a matter of economy, while the quick delivery system as an advertising feature has proven a valuable asset to the mer chant. "The International Motor Trucks are manufactured in large quantities, thus reducing the cost of production and giving the purchasers the highest grade car at a minimum cost. The new models, "E." "F" and "M," we i believe, represent all that Is best, most I reliable and most popular in motor trucks." Bob Coasting With Motor- Cycle Beats Pulling Bob "Zip. think of coasting as far as you ! wish, uphill and downhill and with no need of getting off anywhere and pull i ing back the heavy bob with Its load | of girls who think it is great sport to see the boys work so hard." said I Heagy Bros., local distributors for the Harley-Davidson. "I wonder what the | Chinaman would say now who de ' scribed the old-fashioned bobbing as 'Zip, walkee backee milee.' "With the new motorbobs there Is no need to worry about the uphill : climb. Tn fact, hills are not neces sary for the sport. tnn be enjoyed by raang ana old In all parts of the 1 country where there Is snow, regard- I less of whether there are any coasting hills. Snow is the only requisite. Tn balmy California and throughout the f Sunny South there may be some ques j tion as to the enjoyment derived rrom i swift rides when the mercury is play , ing hide and seek between the freez i ing point and zero but the boosters I for the new sport declare It great fun. j "The kiddies who want a chance to j hitch their sleds back of the motor bobs are doing all they can to induce j their big brothers to convert their mo- j torcyeles, too, so there will be enough motorbobs to haul all the fellows after I school; for the motorbob is born of a motorcycle. Tn fact, the motorbob Is a complete motorcycle except for the front wheel. Taking off the front wheel and substituting a homemade sled with sturdy runners and, presto, you have a motorbob. "With the new kind of bobsled, i coasting Is one continuous joyrlde. ! The bob is steered in the way that has | been approved since the building of! the first bob—with ropes attached to ! the front runners. The throttle, spark, clutch and three-speed gear are op- ! erated by levers in the modern motor way. Passenger accommodations are now limited to three —not counting the youngsters towed behind on their own sleds —but motorbobs now being built will carry fifteen passengers."

"M.d«inu.s.a.- /•££:,■:;*•&£i'U** »;$ Describes Advantage of "Barefoot" Rubber Tires "The new 'P.arefoot' rubber, used in Goodrich black tread tires and other Goodrich products," says E. C. Tib bitts. advertising director of the B. F. Goodrich Company, "was flrst called 'Hyper-Rubber,' which it is. or course. But, one or Its most valuable charac teristics, for tire (and shoe) purposes, is its cling quality—its tenacious grip on smooth and slippery surfaces. "Through that it gives its maximum traction with a minimum of friction. When you put on the brakes to stop the car, or throw in the clutch to start the car, the tires made of this Good rich rubber alloy instead of grinding against the ground for traction, cling to it, as your barefoot would cling to a slippery floor. That's why we've finally christened it, and trade-marked It, as 'Barefoot' rubber. "A sliver of it will stretch almost as much, and return to shape almost as instantly, as a pure rubber band. "Weigh a Goodrich 'Barefoot' tire of any size against the corresponding size of other makes of tire, and you'll find It many pounds lighter, though many 'miles' stronger. "Drive it and you'll find In Good rich 'Barefoot' Tires a liveliness, a quick response to power, a tenacity of traction—and all this with a mileage capacity which will surprise and de light you. "We developed this 'Barefoot Rub ber' primarily for use in our now fa mous 'Sllvertown Cord' tire which, this year, showed such marvelous en durance on the racetrack, at over 100 miles per hour. But. since we cannot yet supply the demand for 'Sllvertown Cord' Ures, until three times as much special machinery for its manufacture can be constructed and installed, we decided to use this wonderful 'Bare foot' rubber In all Goodrich fabric tires, for 1916. "We also make it into Goodrich in ner tubes, Goodrich motorcycle tires Goodrich truck tires, Goodrich bicycle tires, Goodrich rubber boots, over shoes, soles and heels, as well as Into Sllvertown Cord tires, because, In all of these Its characteristics of 'Cling. Spring, Stretch, Strength and Light ness' are first requisites. "We heartily recommend that mo torists compare Goodrich fair list prices with prices that are quoted for same size tires of other brands, that have not the wonderful resilience and cling quality of this new 'Barefoot Rubber.' And after they have done this we say to them: 'Bear in mind that no tires are Maregr-sizcd,' taken type for type, than Goodrich Black Treads.' " Overland Plant 14 Times as Large as 8 Years Ago When the last freight train pulled out of the big Overland yards on Janu ary 31, it was found that a new ship ping record had been established by the Willys-Overland Company. Ex actly 722 automobiles had been ship ped during the day. This is not only ti»e high water mark for the big Toledo factory but It stands as a record never before equaled by any other manufacturer of medium or high-priced cars. In the height of the Spring Relllng season a day's shipment of 722 cars would be considered a remarkable performance even in this time of tre mendous productions. But when that number of automobiles is shipped out to purchasers In the dead of winter, with half the country burled in snow, it is nothing short of phenomenal. The cars were routed north, east, south and west and Overland officials declare that this early activity on the part of the purchasers Is but a fore runner of what may be expected this Spring. All indications point toward the greatest year In the history of the automobile industry and dealers in every section of the country are mak ing preparations for the busiest sell ing season in their lives. The increasing demand for the Overland product is startling, even to those In close touch with the situa tion. In January, 1915, the total number of cars that left the factory amounted to 4,613, while during the month just ended the shipments amounted to 12,- 293. The Increase was even greater during the earlier months of the 1916 season as compared to the corre sponding months of the previous year. A vear ago the dally shipments from the Overland factory averaged 150 cars or less than one-fourth of Its present output. In one year John N. Willys, president of the company, has increased the manufacturing facilities so that It is now possible to build 1,000 machines every twenty-four hours. The present floor space available for manufacturing purposes is 103 acres or 4,486,680 square feet. This Is fourteen times the size of the origi nal plant when taken over by Mr. Willys eight years ago and at that time the factory was one of the largest in the industry. Tendency Toward Quality in Place of Cut Price The general trend of the automobile business away from price to quality is evidenced by the large number of manufacturers who are maintaining or even raising their prices.- During the past six months, two of the best-known makers have raised their prices. A canvass among other manufacturers indicates that there will be practically no important reduc tions during the next four or five months and that in a number of in stances, the new cars will be of higher price than those sold during the past year. Charles T. Jeffery, president of the Thomas B. Jeffery Company of Ke nosha, Wisconsin, says that the Amer ican public has discovered, through experience, that it takes a certain amount of money to produce a high grade quality automobile that will run without trouble and a low cost over a. period of time. "We have always believed that the American public wanted quality," says Mr. Jeffery. "We have refused to sac rifice quality for price and we will continue to maintain our quality." OIJDSMOBILE FOUR CONTINUES Rumors that the Olds Motor Works would curtail the production of its celebrated overhead four-cylinder model, because of the tremendous popular reception accorded its new eight. have been branded as untrue by officials of the company. "As long as a demand for our four cylinder cars exists," states Jay V. Hall, general sales manager of the con cern, "we shall continue to manufac ture It. Our four has proved Itself so serviceable and dependable under any and all conditions, as well as stylish and economical, that there are still many people who would like to own one. .Naturally, we are not going to disappoint these enthusiasts." ROAD TESTER RELEGATED Modern testing machinery has made it unnecessary for automobile factor ies to test their cars on the highways. This eliminates one of the most in terest ins characters around automo bile factories, namely, the road tester. With the passing of the road testers, goes the school for race drivers. Tlio road test department at the National automobile factory at Indianapolis has the distinction of developing: mora prominent race drivers than any sim ilar department or establishment. Not only were National race Srftrers "brought up" in the National road test, but many of the drivers who have become prominent with other mikis received their early automobile edu cation In this department at the Na tional factories.
