KING MAKES ONLY EIGHT-CYLINDERS Five and Seven-Passenger! Touring Car, Five-Passenger Sedan and Roadster Models J In addition to the flve-passenger, fight-cylinder King, the King Motor Car Company, for the forthcoming 3 ear, will also manufacture a seven passenger, eight-cylinder touring car, it flve-passenger, eight-cylinder road ster and a flve-paesenger, eight-cylin der sedan. The eight-cylinder chassis, which is being added to the King line, has a motor of three-inch bore and five- Inch stroke, 120-inch wheelbase, 34x4-i inch tires and a number of other j changes mechanically. The body I lines are entirely new. The five-pas- j isenger, eight-cylinder King will be | continued in conjunction with the i new model. j The new seven-passenger King has ] graceful lines, which merge from the j hood to the cowl, gradually sloping | upward and outward till they end in! ii full rounded back, which, in Its; breadth and pleasing lines, gives the | impression of ease and comfort on \ the road. Crowned fenders and i rounded skirts further carry out the soft body-line effect. The two auxi-1 llary seats in the touring car fold I into the back of the front seats and | in the roadster into the rear deck. In the motor for the new King the ! engineers are following some new de- j signs. Staggering cylinders are used, permitting the use of connecting rods. ! which operate side by side on the 1 crank shaft instead of in yoke. The cylinders arc arranged at 90 degrees and cast in block of four. A large cellular radiator, with ex-; tension tank and large capacity in-' take and outlet water manifolds, are | part of the radiation system on the j ne wear. The exhaust manifold Is un usually large. Large bearing sur-: faces, both main bearings and con necting rod bearings, are a feature. The motor is of the unit power plant type, with three-point suspen sion. The lubrication force feed and splash. Ignition is furnished by Wll- j hi rd storage battery and Atwater- Kent distributing system. l*'or start ing and lighting the Ward Leonard single unit is employed. A Ball du plex carburetor is used in conjunction with the Carter gasoline system for < arburetlon. Vic Cramer's Xeverleek one-man top Is regular equipment. The starting motor is mounted i above the crank case Is conected with flywheel and extends back over the clutch housing. The transmission case , is unusually compact and rigidly, bolted to the crank case. The emerg- : enc.v brake is placed on the rear of | the transmission case and operated; on the transmission shaft. The forward end of the spring is now attached to the frame by means bf a shackle, while the rear end is underslung from the rear axle. The whole spring suspension is placed lower on the frame, which gives the < ar a much lower seat, without los ing road clearance. The rear axle Is connected with the rear cross member of the chassis by means of a tubular torsion rod and swivel joint connection, which allows full action to the springs. A deeper, ■wider channel section frame and . heavy cross members give the chassis " an unusually sturdy appearance. An innovation is found in the front cross member, which is so shaped as to support the front leg of the motor, while at the same time it cradles the radiator. The King eight Is represented in Flarrisburg by the King Car Sales | "ompany at 80 South Cameron street, t In charge of W. P. Keister, with AU'j bert N. Straub as rialesmanager.

The outlook for the coming year is not lacking in encouragement for the well organized automobile manufac turers whose product has established Itself in the confidence of automobile users. It would be difficult to name industry which rests on a more se cure foundation than that portion of the automobile industry which com prises properly constructed, honestly made motor cars. The universal demand for the trans port of passengers and material will continue while our clvilzatlon stands. The intrinsic merit of the motor car for that purpose insures permanency to the industry. The period of evolution through which the automobile Industry Is pass ing may temporarily embarrass those manufacturers whose product is not thoroughly established. Intelligent «tiscr!mination in buying motor ears will be manifest this year to a greater extent than ever before. The coming year will demonstrate the lirni hold which the honestly mnde motor car has on the American public. We believe that the adherence to the policy of maintaining excellence in the quality of material and work -1 iiianfcliip and the policy of giving to the purchasers a liberal return for their expenditure will be a material factor in the constant increase in the production of motor cars.

For the first time since 1907, when I it brought out only one. model, the' Peerless Motor Car Company has committed its factories to the produc tion of a single type of chassis. The new eight-cylinder model 56, intro duced to the public at the automobile show, will be manufactured exclusive ly during thlß season. In commenting on this new policy, R. J. Schmunk, general sales man ager of the Peerless Motor Car Com pany, says: "Owing to the quality and conse quent high price of our product the 1 Peerless clientele has naturally been I composed of experienced owners. The ; demand of the experiencd ownr is l Ten Motor Conce Capitalization Capitalization Company 1915 1916 Ford $2,000,000 $100,000,000 Overland 25, 000,000 50,000,000 Chevrolet 2,500,000 20,000,000 Hupmobtle 1.000.000 6,500,000 Saxon 350,000 0,000.000 Chandler 4 25,000 10,000,000 Franklin 900,000 2,000,000 Continental 500,000 2,900,000 Perfection Spring ' 1,500,000 2,500,000 Simplex . 1,500,000 5,000,000 Total $35,675,000 $204,900,000 Increase $169,225,000 ' specialized. When he tours he wants the best obtainable for touring, which : means great power, reasonable wheel base, large wheels and ample carry ing capacity. This demand brought ' the big car into being. In the city I the experienced owner wants snap piness in the motor, a short turning radius and economy of maintenance, ; because his city driving is more near | ly a routine matter, and he naturally j looks to maintenance cost. This spe ! ciallzed requirement meant a smaller, ! reasonably powered car. "From a six-cylinder motor of given size the best of these two wide ly different types of service cannot be obtained; consequently until this j year we have mnde It a practice to manufacture each season more than one type of car. The development of i our eight-cylinder motor, however, makes it possible now for us to conse -1 crate on a single c.hisis. The great | power and flexibility of the properly constructed multiple cylinder motor adapts it admirably to the require ments of touring and city work alike. "From a manufacturing standpoint the advantages of concentrating on a single model are Indeed great. These advantages are reflected in the price of the new Peerless Eight. Includ ing the very finest equipment, upon which we have always insisted, the ] price for the model is less than one -1 third of what two years ago we were ; forced to charge for the big 'GO-Slx,' i to which the new eight is comparable »in performance." WILLYS-KNIGHT CAR BIG SUCCESS Sleeve-Type Motor 011 One of Models Made by Willys- Overland Company A car that is arousing unusual in terest in this field is the new four cylinder, forty-horsepower Willys- Knight at $1,095. Carl Hansen, sales manager of the Overland-Harrisburg Co., local distributors, reports that those already in use are giving perfect satisfaction. This is the lowest price at which a car with the Knight type of motor has ever been offered. Up to the present writing there has been a veritable famine in this new product of the great Willys-Overland plant. The Important difference between the Knight type and the poppet valve type motor is that the Knight has sleeves instead of valves. There are two of these sleeves, one inside the other, sliding up and down between the cylinder wall and the piston. Each sleeve is provided with openings which at the proper moment In the operation of the motor come opposite each other, thereby permitting a change of fresh gas from the car buretor to enter the combustion cham ber and likewise providing means for the burnt gases to pass out into tho mufflers. The action of the sleeves is absolutely positive, as they are opened and closed by positively oper ated connecting rods, eliminating any uncertainty as to the time or extent of the opening. Mr. Hansen points out that the sleeves of the Knight motor do not have to be made to a tight fit to hold compression, as is true of the piston, and while in operation, they are al ways covered with a flirt of oil. This dissipates the common impression that the operation of a sleeve valve might offer some difficulty. The car Itself in stock models la a large ami powerful flve-i>aaae»gfer touring car, a two-passenger road ster and a four-passenger coupe and Is also being offered by Mr. Hansen with various special winter bodies, including limousines, laundaulettes, iaudau-broughams, broughams, col lapsible broughams and sedans. MOTOR DELIVERY ECONOMICAL Have you ever thought of the earn ing power, the real value of the motor truck, the efficient service it gives, the economy of operating? E. J. Caven der, local Garfield representative, states that a motor truck will permit a more rapid and economical delivery and increase business. Users have found them satisfactory for efficiency, economy, durability and reliability un der all operating conditions. The driv er of a horse drawn vehicle, adds Mr. Cavender, develops a certain speed, because his horse in front of him is in no hurry; the same sped Is applied to the balance of his work, and the de livery cost to his employer keeps steadily on the rise. The same driver, put to work on a motor drowh vehicle, will ginger up and surprising results I will follow. The decrease In delivery I cost will be very noticeable.
