Cadillac An Example
of Neatness in Design
An example of (lie successful ef

is noted in the Cadillac Eight.
Among points which may he cited
is the manner in which the frame of
the windshield is set into the corn- i

thereby eliminating the necessity for
stay rods or braces. It is also ob

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.

There are now over three thousand
official Hupp service stations which
are designated by a large Hupmobile
service sign. These signs are adequate
in- showing the owner the stations in
his own community, but a man on a
tour would have no way of knowing
just where to find a regular Hupp sta
tion.
In order to increase the efficiency
of this nation-wide plan, the Hupp
Motor Car Corporation has decided to
issue this guide. 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
