We want them to co-operate with us in making the car right. "We have so lined up our factory organization that each department is in the hands of a competent foreman, who is a specialist In his line. We put the responsibility on these fore men to get the best they can out of the men and we believe that they are doing it. "I believe that the success of the Moon Company in the last three years, when business of the company has been doubled each year, is due as much to the quality of the work manship that is being put into the car ps to the progressive attitude of the company both as regards price and the lines of the car. Notable Entries at Great Indianapolis Speedway With the sixth annual International ; sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis J motor speedway only a few days off. ! activities hnve assumed a tenseness nt the Hoosler track. I>arlo Resta. speed- I way champion of the 1915 season, has entered with a Peugeot car. Kestn gave De Palma a hard-fought battle ■ last year at Indiannpolis, but the latter i won. Resta. however, cleaned up at ; Chicago. He is looked upon by many j as the greatest speedway sprinter that | over guided a racing car and never \ fails to thrill the spectators by his j seeming lack of fear. He drives the | limit at all times. His entry Is 'he i finishing touch that guarantees a great ( speed affray on the paved oval May 30. ' ! The only entry that hails from west of the Mississippi is from Kansas City, i C. F. PuChesneau has built a special J race car and named It after himself. ; I He Is a prominent restaurant keeper in Kansas City and believes in sports- ; men entering speedway races for the I love of the game, incidentally he is j out to capture the fortune in prize 1 money. He will drive his car. being a full-fledged American Automobile As sociation registered driver. Krnest Schweerln will ride as mechanician. I The car is a four-cylinder machine, j 24 2 cubic Inches piston displacement, and weighs only 1,900 pounds. From Cleveland comes an entry for i a mystery car. The owner, who Is 1 j also the driver, requests that his name I be withheld until the last minute. He 1 is a prominent business man in Cleve- ' land and Is said to have spent a young ' fortune in getting a car built that has ! sufficient speed and stamina to go the I 300 miles in winning time. Both the ! driver and his mechanician are located j in the Engineers building, in Cleve land. this cue for any who care to do j thb Sherlock Holmes act. Instead of only one Premier car. J i there will be three In the Indianapolis • speedway race May SO. Tom Rooney. j It has already been announced, will ' pilot the first entry, the car that was built for the late Bob Burman. Now. •lien, comes the welcome news thai Gil Andersen will drive the second Premier. Anderson "cleaned up" in j grand style last year, winning at the I Xew York speedway, and he is easily ' I one of the stars of the racing busi- | ness. The third Premier is to be piloted by Harry Stillman. Howard Marmon, chief engineer and one of the big guns of the Marmon factory, has been given the honorary j position of referee at the Indianapolis speedway race May 30. Frank E. Smith, vice-president of the Premier company, will be the pacemaker at Indianapolis this year. This is the ticklish job Carl G. Fisher ! has always had. But Fisher believes j in passing the honors around. Smith ( will lead the starters around the two- I rvnd-a-half-mlle track once, then duck: for cover, as when they come down ' | the home stretch the race will be on. Considerable exeitement was caused a» the Indianapolis motor speedway office when the news was received by coble from London that a second Sun beam car will arrive in Indianapolis 'in time for the May SO race. One car is already here and will be driven by Josef Christiaens. The driver of the second British car is not an nounced. These are the ears that con- I aviation motors and sensational speed is expected from them. John Aitken and Eddie Rlcken- I hacher, who will drive a Peugeot and j a Maxwell at Indianapolis May 30. i ! are now in New York getting ready \ ; for the speedway race there May 13. How Care in Details Adds to Motoring Comfort How much the arrangement of les ser features can be made to contrib ; ute to the greater comfort of those driving and riding in a motor car is shown in the Cadillac Eight. These details are spmetimes considered to be of minor importance. Yet in several instances the Cadillac designers, by; intelligently handling these features, have made them real elements in add ing to the convenience of driver and passenger. Auxiliary tonneau seats in the Cadr j iliac Eight, for example, occupy ab- i solutely no space when not in actual use. When folded, they disappear entirely into pockets in the back of I ihe front seat, which presents a smooth surface. Entrance and exit' are not Impeded in the slightest, and ihe passengers in the rear have use <>f all the tonneau space. The aux iliary seats, both when folded and when in place, present nothing which , is apt to catch and tear women's and I children's clothing. At night a small i electric light in the back of the front' seat illuminates the curb side of the tonneau entrance. Storm curtains are carried in neat' pockets on the under side of the top. : They are permanently attached to the top, always ready for use. When re leased, they fall into place as they are to be attached, and this is readily done without leaving the car to sort out curtains in a down-pour of rain, and without disturbing the passengers to fumble under the seats for the cur- j tains. Another one of the innovations In- | augurated by the Cadillac is to be ! seen in its steering wheel. Instead of i the conventional type attached rigid ly in position, the Cadillac steering wheel is hinged to swing out of the way. This permits entrance and exit j at either right or left side of the car, as the control levers are so positioned [ that they do not obstruct the passage' from one side of the car to the other. This hinged steering wheel is also a boon to the corpulent driver, who can I take his seat comfortably without squeezing himself, and then raise the wheel to normal position. Among the several gauges, meters. | etc., now in use, the speedometer is on© which should be easily and quick ly read. The Cadillac speed indica tor is set in the instrument board <ll-: recti.* in line with the driver's vision , so that he can see it without moving ! his head, and scarcely needs take his ! eyes off the road. Business Rushing Says Manager of Jackson Plant The plant of the Jackson Automo bile Company has been fairly flooded with orders for the three new models l of the company's product. "Business is better with us now than it ever has , been in the history of the company," states Howard K. Mathews, sales man ager. "Our plant is working day and night In an effort to satisfy dealers by making prompt deliveries, but in spite of the fact that we are shipping more cars per day at the present time than we have ever shipped at similar' periods in other years, we are unable to fully cope with the situation." ! The foreign business of the Jack- j son Automobile <"o. is steadily de- ! veloping. the latest agency established being at Amsterdam, Holland. The company states that its model "34" four-cvlinder car has been received ! I with great favor abroad because itl typifies to a marked degree, the for eign ideal of advanced four-cylinder design. The motor is of the long stroke, small bore, high duty bal- | anced type, combining great "power I with markedly small fuel consump tion. The car as a whole has been found particularly well adapted to i British Colonies and countries where good roads are scarce, because of its i full elliptic spring suspension and the fact that the seats are set at such an angle that they ride comfortably over i rough roads GLAKRISBURG TELEGRAP ! Verily!-The"lncomparable" ! 4 ' THE REO FOLK TELL US that there are today more orders on hand at the factory' for immediate shipment, than at any previous time in the history of Reo. AND THEY TELL US the demand for Reo the Fifth, "The Incomparable Four," is at this moment greater than ever before in the history of that great car —and as you know, Reo the Fifth has been stanflard and the leader in the five-passenger car class for now six seasons. THEY TELL US TOO that, in order to more nearly catch up with the demand for this model, they have recently added 3500 cars to the original factory schedule, but cannot hope to fill all orders. THAT'S A WONDERFUL RECORD —and a wonderful condition of affairs— when you consider it in all its phases. HERE IS A CAR THAT HAS outlived every other car that has ever tried conclu sions with it on the sales floor and in service. ' J J TODAY THERE ARE NEARLY 100,000 cars of this model in service in all parts of the world. The same wonderful Reo the Fifth chassis —just changed and im- - * proved and refined from year to year. ' jr REO THE FIFTH IS TODAY America's most famous five-passenger automobile. It occupies in its capacity and price class a position that is unique. AND THE REASON for that supremacy is—must be —superiority of service. No V/ : consideration of lesser moment could possibly achieve or account for the ever in creasing demand for this great car —a type of car that appeals only to the most ' r I i prudent and the most discriminating class of buyers. ' ' THOSE WHO CRAVE NOVELTY do not buy Reos —thank goodness! BUT THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING, not for a different but for a better, automo bile—those who consider the item of maintenance and upkeep cost of the first im- / portance —unerringly select Reos. WE MAKE THIS ASSERTION without fear of successful contradiction; without fear of even an attempt to contradict it —for every man who makes or who sells automobiles knows we have the proofs to back it up—that Reo the Fifth costs less for upkeep and maintenance, year in and year out, than any other car of same power and passenger capacity ever made. READ THAT AGAIN. There's a lot in that paragraph. There's everything in it that you need know to enable you to decide which is the car for you. AND YOU KNOW —YOU MUST KNOW —that we would not sign, nor the Reo Folk endorse, that statement if it were not lOOper cent truth. NOW WE REFER YOU AGAIN to that first paragraph. Read it again. Analyze it —and make such deduction as will fit your own individual case. IT IS CERTAIN that, with such a demand at such a season and with motoring ' weather 1 just opening up in the middle and eastern states, there won't be enough Reos to go 'round. SO IF YOU'D HAVE A REO —either model —and have a reasonably early delivery, your order must be in our hands at once. Our allotment is definite —and limited. Now,-we can promise you a definite delivery date. So now is the time to order your Reo. There isn't a moment to lose. / REO MOTOR CAR COMPANY Lansing, Michigan Harrisburg Auto Co.
