Keystone Motor Car Company 1019-1025 Market Street C. H. Barner, Mgr. SATURDAY EVENING, PREDICTS FOURS WILL BE STANDARD Snlesmanager of Reo Motor Co. Says Four-Cylinder Motors Will Always Predominate : "It's a dangerous thins to become I known as a prophet, hut it's a fascin ating: occupation, at that." says R. C. Rueschaw. "and having hit the nail on ; the head twice in succession. I'm in ! clined to tempt fate acain." "Of course a prophet is only a pro phet as long as he Is right. so In making the following prophecy I take a long chance on losing my stand ing in that profession. "In this case. however, it looks to me as if it isn't a prophecy, hut Just a simple deduction. "I'm going to predict that four cylinder cars will from now on and forever more dominate the Held. "Considered ln the light of the fact that the past year has seen more multl-multi cylinder cars than ever before; we've had a plethora of Twelve and Eights, not to mention the Six. which has become standard in the larger sizt-*, still 1 maintain that all signs and portents point unerring ly to the Four as the standard car of the future. "When you set right down to brass tacks you will And that there never was any engineering or mercantile reason for cars above four cylinders. "In savins that I'm not forgetful of xhe fact that a very larg proportion of the Keo output is Sixes. lam cer tain that the Six will continue to be popular with a certain class of buyers. It will always be popular with that class of people who want a car of exceptional passen ger capacity. No. 1 didn't say speed, because, as a matter of fact, all world's speed records are held by Fours. But when you come to passenger capacity, say, for seven people, it is better en gineering practice to add two cylin ders than to increase the bore of the four cylinders you already have. "But the seven-passenger car will not be the standard automobile. The five-passenger car will always be that, because the average family is five. And that is why 1 say that the Four will dominate from now on. "Of course, being an enterprising people and prone to fall for anything in the form of a novelty, we Ameri cans had to satisfy that propensity by first experimenting with cars with as many cylinders as we could think of. We always do that. We always carry things to an Illogical conclu sion before we are satisfied to settle back to sanity. During the past two years we have tried that, and. like the man who has once flown to the maximum height an aeroplane will carry him. we are now satisfied to keep a little closer to terra firma. We manufacturers need not flatter ourselves that we have discovered the superiority of the Four. On the con trary it is the customer who has dis covered It, and Inasmuch as the cus tomer has always beer the coOrt of last resort, his decision will stand and we makers will build to meet his demand, not our preference. "Just take the case of Reo during the past year. We felt certain that the Reo Six would outsell the Four. Plan ned to make them in almost equal ra tio. "The Six did enjoy a prosperity be yond our most sanguine hopes—but the demand for the Four was so hope lessly In excess of our plans for pro duction that we were swamped from the very f.rst- "We sometimes flatter ourselves that by our advertising we create a demand for a certain type of car. A glance at the order books, soon takes the conceit out of us and proves that no matter what we may want, the customer to want, he insists on wanting anything he likes. "For example, some makers have, for years, argued to him that cars of more cylinders are as economical in their consumption of gasoline as the Four. But have you ever met a user who believed it ? I never have. It isn't a fact, that's whv. ' The single cylinder is the most eco i nomloal consumer of gasoline, and by ! the same token the Four is more eco- I nomical than the Six; the Six than the ! Eight: the Eight than a Twelve, a . Twelve than a Sixteen. Granted, al- j ! ways, of course, that the same ability I 1 enter into each. and nowadays, j there's not so much difference between i ! engineers as rival advertisers would I lead you to believe.

City Test of Car Is as Severe as in the Country "It is a mistake," says E. C. Ens- I minger, local distributor for the Dort line of cars, "to suppose that the real | test of a car's merit is determined by country driving alone. The exi gencies of city driving are quite as severe and as many, although they are different in character from those en countered in the country. Not only does the city-driven car run up far greater mileage during the season, but it is subjected to a fearful strain in the sudden stops and starts that are necessarily a part and parcel of all city driving. The racking effect of con tinued and frequent starting and stop ping on a car is most severe, and many motorcars fail to stand up under it. This is minimized in country driving where a car is driven for considerable stretches at a smooth, steady rate of speed, even though tlie roads are rough. There Is no question that the per formance of a motorcar over rough country roads, through sand and mud, gives a good index of the worth of the springs and the power or the motor; but no country driving, unless special ly arranged, exactly duplicates city conditions In demonstrating the flexi bility of the motor or the efficiency of the brakes. To say that almost any car will give good service on the smooth pavements of a city Is to exhibit a lack of motor ing knowledge. The car that cannot "pick up" quickly for instance, is at a marked disadvantage in the city drlv \ ing. so is the one that does not shift easilv or in which the brakes are not extra efficient. In the last qualifi cations the Dort stands in a class by itself, and my experience is that there is not another light car like it for quick get-away." "Transcontinental runs and mountain climbs are all very well in their way. but in themselves they do not sell cars," says Mr. Knsmlnger, local dis tributor of the Dort. "These sensa tional performances and the like form Interesting sporting events, but the average man who buys a car wants a more practical test. Besides, he does not feel quite sure that the car that has traveled from New York to San Francisco In 'seven hours' is exactly the same as the car he will get if he buys one of that make. "For him a car that will go as fast as the average man desires, run smoothlv over average roads and be comfortable for himself and the members of his family, and economical In operation, fills the bill, provided he Is sold on the responsibility of the manufacturer be hind that car. My experience of late has been that people are scrutinizing th guarantor behind the car much more than the guarantee. What they want to know is the real responsi bility of the manufacturing organiza tion. and the dealer who Is selling the Dort. has a big story to tell on this point." Willys-Knight Motors Preferred by Taxicab Co. Folio-win* In the steps of the Lon don Omnibus Company, the largest taxlcab and transfer company of the world, which has Knight motorized its 1 entire fleet of 3 rf 500 cars, a number of taxicab and transfer companies on this side of the Atlantic are installing Knight-motored cars in their service. Most recent examples are the Toledo Transfer Company and the Yellow Taxicab companies of Cleveland, Cin cinnati, Columbus and Toledo all of whom have just recently installed a number of Willys-Knight limousines. A. B. Uhl of Toledo :s president and owns a controlling interest in these companies. He was first persuaded to install several Overland cars in his home town. They proved so popular with his patrons that h" installed eight Willys- Knight limousines in the other com panies in which he is interested.

They were put through an j exhaustive test lasting for a whole } year. At the end of that time, the I superiority of the sleeve-valve motor j over the poppet type was clearly de j fined. This resulted in gradual change ! in the London Omnibus Company's ! fleet. Every poppet valve car was re •j placed by a Knight-motored car, the I company deeming the additional first I cost was more than counter balanced i by the economy and efficiency of these i j motors.
