CASE NOW MAKES
BUT ONE MODEL
Devotes Entire Time to Four-
Forty at $1,090; Touring
Car Body, Only
Announcement has recently been!
made of the new Case "Forty" by
the J. I. Case T. M. Company of
Racine, Wisconsin. The price of the i
new car annovneed by the Case Com- !
pany is 51.090, a marked reduction
«>ver the price of their former Forty,
which sold for $2,300. Last year the
Case Company devoted a good share,
of its activity to a car of smaller type. !
Its decision to devote its entire time
to the larger car indicates the return
of the demand from the smaller types.
"Born and bred in the midst of
Case ideals, it looms forth as the car i
that is bound to carry the Case stand- :
ard muher and hiKher," is the way the
announcement pints it. This car is put
out on the reputation of the Case |
Company—a company known and re
spectecf since 1842. As a product of
one of America's pioneer industries, it
is boinwi to be met with great ap
proval tty the automobile trade.
There are many talking points in
the new announcement. The wheel
base of 120 inches is exceptionally
long fofr a car of this price. The en- i
gine which develops from 40 to 45 j
horsepower, is designed with 3*&-inchj
bore and t>-ineh stroke. Westinghouse i
ignition, starting and lighting equip- ;
ment are used, and the lubrication is
an especially designed force feed type, j

SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 19, 1916.
The gasoline is carried in the cow!,
so the feed to the carburetor is by ,
gravity. The clutch is of the cone type, J
of special Case design in construction. |
An interesting feature in this car is j
the deep section of the frame, its
greatest depth being at the point of
suspension of the cantilever spring. 1
These springs are attached beneath
the frame, to do away with the usual I
overhang. They are attached to the
rear axle by an exclusive means of
construction. A ball and socket joint j
is used, which does away with all !
side strain and allows the springs to j
do only spring duty. The body of the J
car is all steel, and here agajn the |
Case Company Is marking a departure ■
in the way of doing things. The up- !
holstery is of removable genuine grain 1
leather, which means that an owner
can have as many sets as his personal
taste requires. There are so many
times when a change in color scheme I
is most pleasing and restful, besides ;
offering an opportunity for easy
cleaning, that it is expected that this
feature will cause a great deal of fa- ;
vorable comment. The front seats are
divided and adjustable backward and |
forward, as are the. clutch and brake j
pedal. The lines of the car are some- I
what unusual, as its designers have 1
kept away from angles. All of the
lines of the car are curves, from the
broad fenders and cowl to the grace
ful slope, of the rear of the body. One j
of Chicago's well-known automobile
newspaper men. who has made many
trips in this car, pronounces its per
formance "little short of marvelous," j
and believes that the performance of
the'car justifies the company in de- j
scribing it as 'the Car That Makes Ex- !
tra Cylinders Unnecessary.' "
The representation for the Case i
Forty was recently placed with Con
over & Mehring, as the Case Com
pany intends to further the interests
of the motorcar department apart
from the other lines of machinery.
OLDS EIGHT AT
A POPULAR PRICE
Reputation Established Years
Ago Adds Prestige and Invites
Confidence in New Model
Success for the new Oldsmobile's
models has made this company one of
the most important of those who have
, brought about the present remark
able resolution in the motorcar in
i dustry, with its sensational lowering
:of prices, improvement of types and
resulting big sales.
Finding a genuine demand for the
eight-cylinder car. the Oldsmoblle
Company was quick to produce one at
a popular price. At $1195. this car
! represents one of the most important
idevelopments in a year of radical ac
-11 tion.
I F. S. Gans. manager of the East
End Auto Co., describes the types for
| this year and their popularity:
"The Oldsmoblle Company have
i also reduced the price of the Four
from $1285 to $1095, and are now
securely fixed in the popular-priced
tield where there is the most, action.
Our six-cylinder model we have drop-
I ped. It is on the Eight and the Four
I that we will base our appeal to the
public.
I 'The Four at the reduced price is
! not a car lowered in quality. In fact,
it is a better machine than the one we
sold for the higher price. We are in
line with other standard makers, in
| that we have recognized that it is not
enough merely to reduce the price of
a car. The quality must also be main
tained.
"As a matter of fact, this is a bet
ter car than our Four of last year, in
spite of the lowered pric°. The power
unit is identical, but the wheelbase
and body room have been increased.
'Changes had to he made to meet the
increased wheelbase. T he helical
gears on the car axle are driven
through the springs instead of the
1 torque rod. This results in much
easier riding.
Based On High Reputation
1 "The special strength of the Olds
mobile appeal, lies in the fact that
this company has a reputation. It
has been established many years. It
has made high-class cars. Its merits
are known. It is no mushroom con
cern.
"Therefore, all question of experi
ment is eliminated. The buyer takes
ino chance when he trusts our new
eight or buys our reduced cost four.
It is not to be forgotten that our com
pany has been in the business of mak
ing gasoline motors since 1880. We
rank with the very oldest.
"In presenting an eight to the pub
< lie we have no intention to reflect on
j the six. AVe are simply catering to a
strong demand.
"Our eight gets under way with a
| velvet smoothness and hardly a <sug
i gestion of applied force. The accei
i eration is swift as lightning. The car
shoots out like an arrow, and is so
sensitive to the throttle that it seems
to be alive. It offers an almost total
absence of sound and vibration, a new
lightness, a new compactness,
j "All this is combined with a most
surprising economy of maintenance.
"The power plant occupies very
little space in comparison with its
i horsepower. The bonnet is no higher
or wider than tor our four. The
! smart, low lines are retained,
i "The car is light. Its consumption
of gasoline compares favorably with
I four-cylinder cars. Its power is steady
j smooth and strong. It takes on the
'high' hills that an average car would
hesitate to ascend in low or inter
mediate.
I "In appearance, the car gives no
\ hint of its small first cost. The body
is splendidly original. The lines are
strikingly low, the type being much
|in vogue. The body sides are high,
I seats deep, cushions soft, and there is
I ample leg room. Comfort speaks for
itself in every feature of this car. The
| solid-cast aluminum running boards
i and toe boards, the long and buoyant
springs, the clear, seasoned hickory
wheels in natural finish, the interior
woodwork of the Circassian walnut,
the lockers in the dash, are all de
tails that enforce the admiration. It
is a complete, perfect car. With the
car comes every essential equipment.
| It is a car ready for the road, and
destined for long service on the road
; when it passes from maker to user.
I "Similarly, there is wonderful value
in the four for $1095.
i "This is a large, smooth-running
i car, comfortable as a divan. The
doors arc full 23 inches in width.
There is unusual room in the tonneau,
47 Inches from the rear seat to the
I front seat. The front compartment
[measures 41 inches from the inside of
j the back seat to the clutch pedal.
Tliees are dimensions that show what
an effort has been made for comfort,
i "The body indicates a car for S2OOO
or s3ouo. if is solidly built, luxurlous
|ly finished and permanently silent.
I Strips of felt distributed through the
I body at proper points eliminate all
noise-producing frictions."

of Reo Stock in 11 Years
j Here's an Aladdin's Lamp story
I that comes out of Lansing, where Reo
cars are made.
Every man who travels Michigan
knows the Downey House, one of the
most famous liostelries in the entire
1 State.
Any one who has ever stayed at the
1 Downey House knows genial "Billy"
i Grove. "Billy" is now manager of
| the Downey House—Chas. P. Downey
; has long since come to leave every,
j thing to "Billy." But in 1904 when
I the Reo Motor Car Company was
! first incorporated, "Billy" held the
j position of clerk.
i "Billy" was one of the many Lans
i ing people who had implicit faith in
the men who were then starting in
; the new enterprise, and he invested
the, to liiin, large sum of one thou
: sand dollars, in Reo stock.
1 Recently when the Reo stockhold
; era met and decided to increase the
i capitalization of the company to
j $10,000,000 at the same time voting
a 100 per cent, stock dividend, "Billy"
i sat down and figured up how much
' his thousand dollar investment had
j deevloped into in the eleven years
since the inception of Reo. He found
j that it now amounted to one hundred
nineteen thousand and fifty dollars.
In order to understand this tre
mendous increase one must remem
ber that the Reo Motor far Companv
, was originally incorporated for only
t five hundred thousand dollars, then
| increased to one million, later to four
millions and now to ten millions; and
! that beside the stock dividends de
clared at those various times, there
has been something like fifteen lmn
; dred per cent, in cash dividends dis
s bursed among the Reo shareholders.
I "Billy" Grove's original thousand
j dollars' worth of stock has developed
into twenty-four hundred shares. This
lat the present market value, 35, plus
i the cash dividends he has received
| gives him a net earning on his orig
inal thousand of more than one hun
dred and eighteen thousand dollars.
"And best of all." says Lonald E.
' Bates, secretary and treasurer of the
Reo Motor Car Company, "is the fact
that "Billy" Grove's story is preeise-
Ily the story of a great many other
: Lansing people who had confidence
;in the men who* organized the Reo
j Company, and whose confidence has
! been justilied and so handsomely re-
I warded."

} 1 with fancies in design and mechanics, j
The Paige claim of a resounding hit ' I
i I in the Held of Sixes seems justified in

Six "38" selling for $1,050, and the
" 1 seven-passenger Six "4G," selling for
£ $1,295. For the latter chassis, how-
ever, there are several additional body i
" j styles; the Cabriolet at $1,600; the j
j j Coupe at $1,700; the Sedan at $1,900, j
