SATURDAY ■ETONTOG,
Enclosed Car More Popular
Because of Light Weight
The great limitation to the use of en
closed cars has always been their
weight. It has been generally rec
ognized that, were weight of enclosed
cars to be cut down to a point where
expense of operation and the effort of
control were on a basis comparable to
open cars, their utility would be so
increased as to add much to their popu-
larity.
Not more than five years ago the
great majority of enclosed oars weigh
ed between 5,000 and 7,000 pounds. Any
one would have considered it purely
visionary at this time to have pre-
I dieted the possibility of the required
! luxury and convenience being produced
i in enclosed cars weighing under 3,000
j pounds. Even now the heavy weight
jof the early days is not uncommon,
| though most engineers have regarded
I 3,500 pounds as a minimum on which io
! base enclosed car design,
j When the Franklin Automobile Com
j pany recently made known the weight
l of its various Series 9 types, the fact
j came out that every one of its en
| closed cars weighs under 2,700 pounds,
! 800 pounds less than what has general
\ ly been considered the limit of enclos
j ed car weight; in fact, two of the live
I types come very close to the 2,500
' pound mark.
| This development presages a wider
' use for general purposes, such as open
j country driving and all-year service,
: instead of the more restricted city use
! for which enclosed cars have come to
jbe regarded. With reduced weight, it
I can be expected that gasoline and l tire
j tjxpense will be accordingly less and
j the pleasure of individual driving im
| proved.
Chandler Deliveries
Show Big Increase
"Confident assertion early in the sea
son, by officials of the Chandler Motor
Car Company, that production would
more than double this year, over last
season, has been proved most conclu
sively," said Andrew Redmond, local
Chandler Six distributor.
"An increase, in actual deliveries, of
352 per cent, for October of this year
over the same month last year, is sure
ly tho strongest kind of evidence of
tho demand of the public for the Chan
dler motor. "And October was no ex
ception, for production in every month
this season has shown a big lead over
corresponding months of 1915."
A letter from Sales Manager Dun
lap says: "Preparation for 1917 has al
ready been started at the Chandler fac
tory in Cleveland, by tho erection of
two large new buildings, totaling near
ly 200,000 square feet in additional
floor space, and Chandler officials are
not content with simply buying mater
ials for tho production of over twenty
five thousand Sixes next season, but are
actually filling their stockrooms to ca
pacity to insure prompt deliveries in
the rush of next season."
A GOOD FRONT AN
AID TO BUSINESS
Display Windows and Neat
Salesrooms Influence Sales
Says Reo Sales Manager
"No use talking," says R. C. Rues
cliaw, "an attractive sales room h£s
Just as much to do with the sale of
automobiles as any other commodity.
"Since we've dolled up our store on
Broadway, and washed the windows,
mopped the floors and dusted oft the
furniture in the Chicago place when
wo made it a branch, business has
actually quadrupled at those two
points.
"X don't know why people ever have
imagined they could sell goods in un
attractive surroundings, because every
salesman knows that gloom is contag
ious and that whatever optimism a
customer may have had when he
comes in out of the sunshine, is quick
ly dispelled by the darkness and dis
array of the average automobile sales
room.
"X suppose one reason for the prev
alence of this condition among auto
mobile dealers is tho fact that auto
mobile were originally sold in a ma
chine shop. Gradually it became a
"garage," and it was several years
before the owner felt that he could
waste a little space in the front and
put a plate glass window in to Vshow"
the cars.
"When T think of the conditions
under which the customer used to buy
his automobile in the early days; J
marvel at his hardihood.
The "demonstrator" usually stood
near the back end of the garage so as
to bo close to the exit,, and was hedg
ed in on both sides and in front by
cars in various stages of disassemble
and repair. Broken parts and grease
littered the floor and the atmosphere
was conducive to anything but a
aaie.
"Of course the answer is that de
mand has always greatly exceeded
supply despite the fact that each suc
cessive season some timorous ones
have hollered wolf and worried about
where all the automobiles would go
to!
• "For. several years the Reo branch
in New York was around the corner
on the back street, and we really felt
that we were making money by saving
on the rent. Truth to tell, it took lis
a long time to persuade ourselves to
pay a Broadway rental, but when we
did, we went after it in the usual Reo
way—we bought the best there was.
"I verily believe that the corner of
Fifty-fourth and Broadway is the best
location on Manhattan Island, and
while it hasn't increased our whole
sale business materially, tho retail
end of it has increased by leaps and
bounds.
"Even the truck sales increased tre
mendously within tho first month,
showing that the man who wants an
article and knows he wants it. still
wants it a little harder when it is
brought before his gaze and in attrac
tive surroundings.
"We Reo folk are not believers in
the branch house system as a general
rule; but recently we made up Our
minds we ought to have a branch In
Chicago, as we have in New York, so
we took over the lease and dolled up
the place there. The result was start
ling; in tho first week the increase of
business showed that the move was
right. And it has steadily increased
ever since.
"The improvement In automobile
sales rooms during the past year has
been very noticeable. The matter of
lighting has developed into quite a
problem, the great depth of the show
window resulting usually in a mirror
effect instead of transparency.
"Notice the ladies who stop in front
of automobile show Windows to ad
just their hats and to see if their hair
is straight, and you'll see that the
average front is a better mirror than
show room.
Architects are now specializing on
automobile show rooms, and in the
near future these will add to the at
tractiveness of our cities instead of
constituting an (inharmonious effect
in the general ensemble hh they too
frequently have in tho past."
Price of Packard Twin
Six to Be Increased
The Packard company have just an
nounced an increase in the price of their
cars. The Increased prices apply to
all orders for delivery after February
first, 1917, also to deliveries before that
date after the present lot of "Twin
Sixes" are sold, consisting of about
one-half the season's output. That
means for a short indefinite period it will
be possible to purchase a "Twin Sis"
at the original price for delivery be
fore February first. All cars are quoted
subject to change without notice and
there is a limited number of cars un
sold constructed of material purchased
on a lower market, but as soon as these
are disposed of, the Increased prices
will be in effect. The advance on the
2-25 is $lB5 and on the 2-35 $235.
In explanation of the price advance,
B. B. Harrington, manager of the local
branch, made the following statement;
"When the price of our new series
"Twin Six" was made, it was consistent
with the cost of materials on hand at
the factory and under contract for
about one-half of the season's output.
However, owing to the persistent ad
vance in the cost of practically all the
materials entering into the manufac
turing of motor carriages, and in or
der that wo may continue to maintain
the highest quality, it has become nec
essary to make this price adjustment."
Mr. Harrington states, "The past
week have been an extremely busy one
for the Harrisburg branch, as a great
many customers are taking advantago
of this opportunity to purchase before
the advanced price goes into effect."
HIGH MVE ON MOTORCYCLE
The old nursery rhyme about the
cow jumping oyer the moon came
about as near being exemplified In
roal life as is posible In the remark
able feat enacted by Hugh Campbell
at "Walla Walla, Wash., in connection
with a home festival. Campbell's
thrilling stunt was entirely unpre
meditated, he assures his would-be
admirers. As a special attraction for
home week, the automobile dealers
had built an incline of about 80 per
cent, grade up the front of one of
the leading agencies to be used for hill
climbing contests.
Campbell watched the auto drivers
in their efforts to negotiate the en
tire distance up the almost vertical
board walk and decided to make a try
at It with his Harley-Davidson motor
cycle. Prom a standing start he shot
up the improvised hill so fast that his
throttle hand becamo paralyzed with
the result that ho continued up the
side of the building and over the ledge
of the roof. As the motorcycle bound
ed over the ledge, Campbell suddenly
collected his thoughts and managed to
slide off of the motorbike, turned aero
plane, scarcely a moment too soon, for
the machine crashed through a sky
light and landed midst a shower of
debris on the sales floor of an auto
mobile agency and on the exact spot
occupied only a moment before by a
salesman.

Nash Brings Out New
Jeffery Sedan Model
The decided tendency of the motor
car buying public toward enclosed cars
is further emphasized by the an
nouncement of two new Jeffery sedans
by the Nash Motors Company of Keno
sha. Wis. Simplicity, comfort and
stylish elegance are combined in the
new models—four and six cylinder
types—and the tops are removable for
summer touring. Both models have
ample accommodations for seven pas
engers.
The lines of this new Jeffery top are
in strict accordance with latest man
dates of motor car fashion. One of
the most noticeable features Is the
extra largo size of the French plate
windows. These drop live Inches to
giro ventilation In warm weather, pro
viding a good circulation of air with
out permitting a draft on the heads of
the passengers. The rear window
measures 31x19 Inches.
Divided front seats eliminate the
necessity of foredoors and thus do
away with the need for a panel be
tween the front window and the rear
door. Accessibility between the front
and rear compartments is also pro
cured through this phase of the car's
design. Incidentally, the interior is
unusually roomy for a car of this
type.
, Gray whipcord upholstery, roll cur
tains on the windows and numerous
othor details of finish lend distinction
and tone to the car's appointments.
It was the aim of the Nash engineers
to make the new Jeffery sedan contain
all the comforts of a regular high
price limousine, and to give credit
where it is due, they have succeeded.
Painstaking tests have proved the top
to be wind, rain, snow and sleet tight.
Still another essentially pleasant
touch is the large dome light, in the
center of the top. When lit this radi
ates a cheerful glow over those within,
and the passengers unconsciously ac
quire a sense of added comfort and
warmth because of it.

Haynes Makes Largest
Shipment to One Dealer
With n single trainload of nfty cars
of automobiles, the Haynes Automo
bile Company broke all records for
shipment to a .single distributor last
week. The consignment of motor cars
went to the Haynes agency at Kansas
City for winter distribution in the pros
perous "Heart of America." Half of
the trainload of Ave and seven pas
songer Haynes Light Six touring cars
went to fill waiting orders and the
remainder has been Immediately -on
tracted for.
•Automobile men the country over
regard the trainload shipment at this
time of tho year as having more than
usual significance. The drawback to
the automobile industry since its early
days has eben its seasonal character
and the necessity of depending on the
momentum of the business in late
tiprlnft and early summer carrying both
the dealer and the manufacturer
through the duller winter months.
The trainload shipment plainly lndl-
catcs that this circumstance Is rapidly
Biving way to more favorable con
ditions. The increase of winter driv
ing largely accounts for this. Th®
motor-using public, with the Improve
ment of starters and motors and th
added convenience of the demountable
ton. Is coming to depend on the auto
inobilo for a winter conveyance even.,
in rural distclrts. Better and lower,
priced closed cars have also
Ihe cause of winter driving and au-j
tumn sales.
The fall trainload shipment, even
though It Is the first of Its kind, pre
sages what manufacturers and dealers
have long striven for—steady year
round sales, rather than a seasonal
rush during the spring and summer
months.
