Overland Country Club
• an Ideal Utility Car
One of the easiest things In the
world to prove, according to Carl
Hanson, of the |larrisburg Overland
Company, Is the fact that the me
dium priced motorcar comes under
the classification of utilities, in
stead of luxuries. He refers to the
Overland Country Club as a fitting
example of the modern utility car.
"Scarcely a day passes," said Mr.
Hanson, "that some new owner does
not come in and tell us of the busi
: ness advantages of a car, which he
never dreamed existed until he had
driven his own automobile.
"A couple of months ago, I sold
; a Country Club model to a man who
' said he was buying the car principal
. ly for his wife. She wanted a light
car, one which was easy to handle
• and which had a lot of style. Per
; sonally, he didn't care much what It
I was like, as long as it suited
her, Yesterday, he came in and
placed an order for another one—

COUNCIL HOLDS CONFERENCE
The city commissioners at n in
formal conference late yesterday in
the council chamber discussed the
question of holding the annual con
vention of the League of Cities of the
Third Class in Harrisburg on August
28, 29 and 30 without reaching a de
cision. The heavy expense connected
with holding the convention in Har
risburg is all that is delaying the
commissioners' decision to bring the
convention here. The matter will be
decided at the council meeting on
Tuesday.
i
'for his wife,' he added. When I 1
asked him what was wrong with the 1
car that he bought for his wife a! 1
couple of months ago. he smiled,;
locked just little bit sheepish and j
replied that his wife hadn't had her j
, hands on the steering wheel since; I
the first week—he had been using j
it all of the time himself.
" 'Why, say,' he exclaimed, 'that
car proved itself to be the best hired
man I ever had. It has not only I
saved about a couple of hours a day '
for me, in going to and coming from!
my office, but it has enabled me to '
personally take care of the best lit- j
tie Liberty garden out in the sub-1
urbs; to take a little run out to the j
golf links late in the afternoon, now j 1
and then; and to see from one to
five prospects in the evenihg. I ac
complish more in a day now th&h 11 I
: did in a day and a half when I had I
to depend on street cars. That is why | \
my wife hasn't had a chance to use | j
the car. I've ben keeping it going i
nfearly every; minute.'
j 'That man was an insurance ||
agent. are hundreds of other |
■ men in the same business, who
would testify just as enthusiastical- j
sly" concerning the utility advantages'
of the motorcar. Then there are the
' doctors, the real estate men, the
lawyers, the merchants and, in fact, j
men in every line of endeavor who,
[ having once owned an automobile, |
find that they cannot get along with- j
> out one.
"The Country Club model Js espe-1
- cially adaptable for the average
t man's use, because it is unusually!
i attractive in design, light and there- 1
■ fore economical in upkeep, and be- ]
t cause it seats four passengers com
-1 fortably—a feature which is too fre- |
1 quently found to lie unique in small j
- cars of this type."

Peerless Makes
in Dealers' Racing Game
I. P. Fetterman, drivihg a Peer
less Eight (Special), not only won
distinction when ho broke the pro
fessional track record Jn the 112%
mile Invitation Dealers' race on the
Uniontown Speedway July 4 with a
time of 1:13:40, but Tie appears to
have shattered all records in Deal
ers' raclns' events in the live con
tests which he has entered on that
track during the spring and sum
mer.
The total mileage of the five
Uniontown contests, in which Fet
terman has driven the Peerless Eight
amounted to 414% miles. The first
was BO miles, the next three were
112% miles. The first BO miles, the
next three were 112% miles
and the fifth was the Australian pur
suit race of 27 miles. The whole
414% miles of terrllic driving
made without a single stop for me
chanical assistance; without a cylin
der missing and without the power
ful motor ever becoming over-heat
ed. Furthermore, the last race of
112% miles was run on seven gal
lons of gasoline, an average of ap
proximately 16 miles to the gallon—
a remarkable record for a heavy
car.
In telling of his Uniontown Speed
way experiences at the Peerless fac
tory the other day, Fetterman said:
"During all of my racing career,
I have never heard of any per
formance in a series of Dealers'
. events which will equal that ef the
Peerless Eight. I firmly believe that
the car can run all day at an aver
age of 90 miles an hour without any
mechanical difficulty." He then re
ferred to the statements made in the
foregoing paragraph.
A feature of the car, for which
Fetterman attributes a great deal of
his success, is its unusual balance in
construction, which enabled him to
operate it without extraordinary
strain on the mechanical parts. As
an example of the perfect balance,
he said that he had noticed that in
driving around the Uniontown track
he always found himself on the
turns within six Inches of the same
spot where he had made the turns on
previous trips around the oval.
"Perfect balance in the construc
tion of heavy racing cars is a feature
of construction which all racing men
look for and pray for," said Fetter
man. "That a special stock car
j would embody this feature, to the ex
tent that the Peerless Eight does, is
certainly remarkable."
The total cash winnings for the
Peerless Eight at Uniontown on July
4 were $1,4;i0. The dealers' race
bropght Fetterman $750, the track
title gave him SSOO more and he won
S2OO in the Australian Pursuit Race.

THE MODERN KING ARTHUR
Arthur Klein, king of dirt track
irivers. Arthur won this title at the
Lincoln, Nebraska track, at the Neb
raska semi-centennial celebration,
held June 12. He hung up a new rec-
Drd for the twenty-ftve-mile distance
on a dirt track by completing the
rourse in 30 minutes, 47 seconds.
Klein clipped a flat two minutes
from the previous figures made by
Bill Endicott.
Both drivers have been using
Dixon's graphite automobile lubri
cants regularly. When records are
broken It's generally a case of a Dlx
sn-lubrlcttted car, for the great ma
jority of the noted speed boys use
Dixon's and the winners are almost
ilways Dixon disciples. Dixon's give
friction no quarter and, when a car
Is Dlxon-lubricated, the man who
Irlves it can dismiss friction from his
worry department.
