Another point is the manner In which the side lamps are designed and attached, which does away with the exposed wiring. The latter not only contributes to neatness in ap pearance, but by thus concealing the wires they are protected from the weather, and the probability of dam age from other sources is removed. SMALL CAR AND ITS ADVANTAGES President of Willys-Overland Co. Tells of Its Economy and Light Upkeep The tendency on the part of auto mobile buyers to favor small, tight cars this year is said to be due not so much to the fact that the small car cost less than the big, heavy machine at the start, but that in the long run it is a much more economical invest .ment. According to John N. Willys, presi dent of the AVillys-Overland Com pany, the small car virtually pays for itself when figured on a mileage basis and compared with the upkeep and maintenance cost of a big car. "It is an established fact that the life of an automobile is not dependent upon its size or cost," says Mr. Willys. "The modern motor car of to-day is built to give long service, regardless of whether its initial cost runs into hundreds or thousands of dollars. In other words the majority of cars average about the same dis stance in the final count whether they be larse or smalt. "Granting this to be true, let us take as a basis to work upon a cer tain number of miles say 50,000. This figure does not represent the life of a car but it will answer the pur pose for comparing a few of the dif ferent maintenance costs betweei. the small and large models. "The big car, owing to Its extra weight requires larger tires than are necessary for a smaller, lighter ma chine. The actual size of the tires depends on the car Itself, but to give a concrete example I will take a 3 4x4 inch size for the big car and a 31x4 inch for the smaller car, assuming that under ordinary usage a set of tires will last for approximately 5,000 miles, nine new sets would be re quired by the owner in 50,000 miles of driving. The difference in cost is not very much—approximately nine dollars on each set, but it represents a saving of $Bl to the owner of the smaller machine. "The smaller car also is more I economical in its consumption of gaso j line. In fact, I believe the unusual j demand for the smaller type of ear , is due t.o a large extent to the pres ent high price of fuel. In a number of cities gasoline prices have soared to twenty-five cents a gallon and even higher. But 110 matter what the price is, the cost of fuel consumption jis proportionately less with a small I car than with a big one. "The average small car will travel : about 20 miles on A gallon of gasoline and the larger cars from 10 to 15. Keeping to our original figure of 60,- j 000 miles, this means that the small ; car will consult. gallons of gasoline whit~ *,' ire big car is using ap- I pr<\xi&>££t!!y 3,400 gallons. The dif i-1 f*rence of 900 gallons, even when figured at 22 cents per gallon amounts to a saving of $l9B for the smaller "The value of the larger car also depreciates much more rapidly than the smaller, medium priced vehicle. At the end of 50,000 miles a car that originally sold for two or three hun dred dollars more than another, will bring, perhaps fifty dollars more In the second hand market. "All things considered it is pretty safe to say that the smaller car actually pays for itself when both first and second costs are figured up and compared with those of the big car. "While it is true that a number of I | car owners may not trouble them- j j selves about the price of gasoline, the 1 situation now is fairly serious and J | if the high price continues we will be 1 paying twice as much for this item as :we did last year. The large majority j of buyers do not care about spending' ! more money than is necessary to pro- j duce a similar result. "The trend toward the smaller and j more economical car is particularly noticeable at the Overland factory. I Dealers throughout the country are demanding shipments of the smallest ; Overland, Model 75, which since its! announcement has proved to be the most popular model we have yet ex . ploited. Its completeness of equip ment and fine appearance, combined with low upkeep cost, is attracting many buyers of larger cars who have never before been considered pros ) pects for a car of this price class. It is simply another evolution of the in dustry and one for which we were well prepared." Hupmobile Service Guide For Stations on Routes { Another big feature has been added [to the Hupmobile nation-wide serv | ice plan which has been the most practical innovation that the automo bile manufacturers have inaugurated during the present selling season. The I latest addition to the Hupmobile I service plan is the "Touring Guide" J which is a handbook issued for the I benefit of all Hupmobile owners as j well as dealers, distributors and 'service representatives. The "Touring Guide" will contain the names and locations of the thou sands of Hupmobile service stations throughout the United States and Can ada, so that the owner of a Hupmo bile, when touring throughout the country, will know just where he may find an authorized garage or dealer to lool? after his machine. — ....in 300J ■ J • We Cannot Describe the Beauty : of the New and Greater Chandler IF you have seen the new Chandler tour- touring body other than the Chandler ton ing car body you understand why we neau-cowl type will be old-fashioned and out do not attempt to describe it.

I lmni iaal There are now over three thousand official Hupp service stations which are designated by a large Hupmobile service sign.

It will also contain valuable information of every kind which is needed by tourists, such as road regulations, care of the car, tires and various accessories. High Grade Car Demand Now Greater Than Ever Regardless of the great quantities of lower-priced cars that are being marketed, there is a tremendous shortage in cars of the strictly highest class. Lee J. Eastman, manager of the Packard Motor Car Company of Philadelphia, says that the demand for high-class cars is not only un precedented, but there may not be enough to go around. It was thought several months ago that the increased output of the Packard factory, which accompanied the Introduction of the twelve-cylinder Packard "Twin-Six," would provide ample cars for all de mands. Now it seems that even this addition to the production of high quality automobiles is less than is re quired. Mr. Eastman thinks that, while the present condition is partly due to a healthy growth of the trade and a natural tendency among buyers to possess high-grade cars, it also has been greatly effected by the introduc tion of the twelve-cylinder car itself. He says: "It is quite apparent that the in troduction of the Packard 'Twin-Six' has met with the approval of the highest class of buyers. Earlier in the season our salesroom was clogged with patrons clamoring for deliveries and even now, when the factory has practically caught up with its manu facturing schedule and cars are com ing through on time, we are still faced with an undoubted shortage for the season. "When the Packard company sized up the situation and introduced the twelve-cylinder car, there was a good deal of excitement in the high-class trade at the audacious move. The way the car has performed, the way in which the trade has responded, the introduction of other twelve-cylinder cars, and the reports of others still to be introduced, all show that we not only were right, but had made a very important advance. "The lack of importance of English and French cars may have had a slight effect on the sale of domestic high-grade cars, but not to any ap preciable extent. The sale of foreign cars within the past few years has been very limited anyway. Conse quently. the present shortage of high grade cars can only be attributed to the above reasons, and I really think that, among them all, the introduction of the "Twin-Six" is the most signifl | cent. "Now that th» allotment of closad cars is almost entirely contracted for, we anticipate a great rush for open cars of all styles just as soon as the weather moderates. In fact, I ain positive that we will have demands for several hundred more 'Twin-Sixes' than can be supplied this Spring." DDort's Rear Axle An automobile moves by power being applied to its rear wheels. In turning corners the outside wheels must naturally travel further and faster than the inside wheels. To permit this without loss of power automobile engineers have provided a series of rather complicated gears, so arranged as to always allow the outside rear wheel to run free when corners are turned. These gears are located in the center of the housing which supports the There are eight of these gears ranging gears procurable and by double heat in size from %of an inch face to Ift treating each part Sn,n T t inC re Dort gets silence in his rear axle by sup hv in h limJv a<i porting these gears and theii shafts on Bfew Jh- J 6 sets of the finest ball and roller bear ' fiwHiA a,? ® " ye 8 " . ings that money will buy.
