CAMERON STREET SATURDAY EVENING, HARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 19, 1916 ered and a large production is sclied- ' uled for next year. Some idea of the magnitude of the business can be gained from the fol- 1 lowing figures: An average of 10 carloads of ma- j terial and supplies are received daily. More than 400 tons of coal are re quired in generating the steam used in the plant and 15,000 gallons of fuel ; oi". are used in the heat treating and j drop forge departments. About 225,- 1 1 000 pounds of steel are fabricated into parts each day and the foundries handle 31 tons of pig iron. 30,000 j pounds of brass and 1.000 pounds of alumiuum. A striking feature of this Immense i enterprise is that the business Is owned entirely bv John F. and Horace E. Dodge. This is very impressive when it is known that only 14 years, . ago Dodge Brothers opened their first ! machine shop in Detroit in which j .they employed 11 men and both worked at machine and bench them- ! selves. They early established a reputation , for eiuality work, in the making of ; automobile parts and built up a won- ! derful business in this line. But in ; 1914 they brought all their contracts for parts to a termination and turned their great facilities to the making of Dodge Brothers motorcars. C. 11. Barner. of the Keystone Motor j Car Company has had excellent sue- ! cess with this model sinue assuming i the agency when it first was placed ' . on the market. MORE ELECTRICS NOW IN EVIDENCE C. B. Hoffer Who Represents the Detroit Electric, Tells of Increasing Popularity I The past few years in the automo bile industry has brought to light no more interesting development than J the marked trend of the motor buying ! public toward the enclosed car for all- | year driving. This change augurs favorably for the growth of tfie electric car indus try since the modern electric car is the best type of an enclosed automo- I bile. According to C. B. Hoffer, factory ' representative for the Anderson Elec- j i trie Car Company, builders of Detroit Electrics, the electric car industry has already been greatly influenced. He says in effect, "never before in | the history of our company has the i i sales outlook been so bright. During the nine years the Anderson Electric I Car Company has been in the busi ness it has been a leader in its field. Yet I am frank to say that the pros pects for a big year have never been so promising as those we now face. "Last year the sales of Detroit Elec trics far outstripped those of any other I enclosed automobile —in either the I electric or gasoline field. "This coming season we will more i than double last year's production, i Over a year ago we sensed the situa- j ; tion and began at once to prepare for j a rush of orders when our Fall selling \ season opened up. "Our floor space was greatly en larged; an entire new building was added to our plant; the working force at both the Detroit and Cleveland | plants was increased materially; great: j quantities of materials were con- i tracted for; and a number of the | latest type automobile machines were j secured. "Even with these precautions taken j our production sheets show that we■ are working at maximum capacity to j keep aven with the shipping orders that arc being received daily. "It is evident to the experienced ob- j server that the public wants en- ! j closed automobiles now more than ever before—and it insists on having I them. On every hand you hear In- I stances of men who have driven a ] number of different types and who now admit that they would not think ' of giving up the enclosed car for all- j year driving. "Many of these men have chosen i the Detroit Electric as being the best ! enclosed car on the market. "In the first, place. It is so perfectly ! ventilated that you enjoy touring car j coolness in summer and limousine luxury in winter. "And the 1916 Detroit Electrics ! have plenty of mileage, power and ! speed. As an actual matter of fact < they are as efficient as any automo- j bile for 98 per cent, of all motoring ! : trips." Mr. Hoffer has had exceptional sue- ! cess in placing orders for the Detroit; Electric although he has been here less than a year. Oilier makes of elec trics have tried in recent years, but j i the increasing number of Detroits In j i IJarrisburg streets attest the popu larity of the car and the energy of I i tlia reuresentativ*, j CHANDLER MAKES I ANNOUNCEMENT Andrew Redmond, Local Dis tributor, Tells of Additional Features in New Models Andrew Redmond, local distributor | for the Chandler announces two new i models, both of which are being ex-[ | hibited at the Auto Show this week, i These are a seven-passenger touring | car and a four-passenger roadster, | succeeding the seven-passenger tour ing and two-passenger roadster of the past, season. The two bodies are mounted on the same chassis, the I Chandler Company holding fast to its policy of building one type of chassis. The selling price of each model is! i $1,295 and Mr. Redmond explains | that with the price of all motor war | {materials so much advanced over last! | year, he is proud that the company is! I able to sell the Chandler car at so low j a price. There are no radical mechanical changes as compared to the Chandler product of last year. The same motor which the Chandler company has rea son to look upon as a primary reason for the marked headway it has made in the industry, is retained. The wheelbase has been lengthened from 122 inches to 123 inches. Features of design and construc tion include, aside from the exclusive Chandler motor, the following: Aluminum crank case, silent full -1 floating worm-bevel rear axle, long semi-elliptic springs rront and rear, Bosch magneto. Gray & Davis separ ate unit electric starting and lighting ! system, chain drive for motor shafts, annular ball bearings, Stewart vacuum j gasoline feed, nonskid tires in rear. The new Chandler bodies are very | attractive. The touring car is roomy | ev en when occupied by seven adults, j The cushions are deep and soft and tilted toward the rear to enhance the I passenger's comfort. The upholstery Is of long grain leather of very line ! quality. The body is especially dis tinguished by its handsome walnut paneled tonncau cowl, and, the finish is •'handier blue, with fenders, wheels j and motor hood in black. The roadster will be popular with small lamilles. The front seats are divided by an aiele and the cozy rear seat offers ample room for two pas sengers. in upholstery and finish the roadster is the same as the touring i car. ! The Chandler company has already | entered into big production on these | models and plans for an output of • 20,000 cars this year. The factory | capacity was more than doubled by | the erection of the new building dur ing the Fall months. The recapital- I ization of the Chandler business on a j $10,000,000 basis, with $7,000,000 of that amount issued, puts the com- I pany in an enviable position in the j industry. With such an organization and such a car behind him, Mr. Redmond waxed i extremely warm in his praises of the 1916 Chandler, when interviewed by a representative of the Telegraph re | cently. "Everyone," said Mr. fledmond, "knows the Chandler pretty well now i from the mechanical atandyoint. I | Everyone knows how Chandler pioneered the Light. Six field—long in advance of any other six at a price ■ less than $2,000. Everyone knows how the Chandler made good right i from the beginning.
