"The Quality Goes Clear Though"—Dort Copyright The Dort Motor Car Company has copyrighted the phrase "The Quality Goes Clear Through," to describe that feature in which it is claimed all Dorts excel. The selection of this wording came about through Dort owners ex pressing approval of their cars. Quality clear through eveYy part of the chassis and body, the company states, is the basis on which every car in their line is built. Dort prices range from $695 for the touring car and the three-pass enger roadsters to $1,065 for the sedan, brought about through large production factory and improved manufacturing methods. In discussing the quality feature of the Dort, Ralph Dort, advertising manager, said: "We have put quality into the chassis in many places where only a motor car engineer could tind it. It has been our experience, how ever, that, this has paid, for you will seldom lind a Dort owner who does not firmly believe he has secured more for his money than he could obtain in any other car for the same amount, or even slightly more money. "This widespread conviction about the Dort has given it a mouth-to mouth advertising from owner -to owner to prospective buyer, that no amount of printers' ink could ever have bought for us. The advertising writer's imagination played no part in our adoption of 'the quality goes clear through' to describe our cars. Dort owners wrote this testimonial themselves for themselves and by themselves, and in doing so they have paid us a rare compliment. "Adherence to the actual facts about our cars, both in the written word and pictured illustration, are in sisted upon by our company, and imagination about our cars is severely discouraged. Sometimes I think we even err on the side of not telling the whole story. But perhaps even this is good advertising after all, for there is a lot of satisfaction in finding the car you have purchased is even better than you thought." The Dort line is handled locally by the Ensminger Motor Co., 1122 Green street. Jackson Ues First 'American' Eight-Cylinder Motor Although the eight-cylinder V form motor was first applied to auto mobile use eleven years ago, the first distinctly American tyflo of eight cylinder motor to be used is I he' Ferro-Jackson engine in the 1917 Jackson model, the "Wolverine Eight," according to H. A. Matthews, treasurer of the Jackson Automobile Company. "Most persons think that the eight eylinder motor is only about three years old. and speaking from the standpoint of wide use in pleasure cars in this country they are right. And it is Interesting to know that, until the advent of the Ferro-Jack son motor, this year, all eight-cylinder engines followed a distinctly European style of design. This is natural, for the manufac turer of the first eight-cylinder motor was n French firm which, in 1906. after the aeroplane had demonstrated the possibilities of the "Eight," built eight-cylinder motors of the type that has since come Into wide use in Am erica. Six cars each of the four, six and eight-cylinder types were built and sent out on the road foi J 10,000 miles of experimental work. Com parisons and tests were made at the conclusion of the experiments, by world-famed engineers, and their de cision was unanimously In favor •of the elght-cylinaer models because of their immeasurably greater smooth ness and freedom from vibration. Since then this French manufacturer has built eight cyltndet- models ex clusively. Various engineers have de clared that the eight-cylinder type engine will be the ultimate choice of all the automobile Industry outside of the motor truck field. Jackson Eight is handled locally by P. H. Keboch, 15 South Third street. PICKS CilRI. FROM INMATES OF AI.MSHOLSE; WEDS HER Mauch Chunk. Pa.. Feb. l(j.
