MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY Today When Sale Is Made Deal Is Not Closed, but Service Begins There was a time when manufac- j turers, after having closed a sale ot their product to a consumer through ; their dealer or retailer, considered; their association with the consumer a' a matter of no further importance, i While this condition existed for a • number of years, it has generally j lieen changed by the more progres sive and business-like concern until to-day almost all manufacturers have j adopted some method or other where by a consumer once sold is automati- j tally linked in some way with the manufacturer whose product he is using. There is hardly any better illus- I tration of tlSis condition than that 1 existing in the automobile and auto- j mobile accessory field. Let us consider as an example this) consumer-and-manufacturer relation ship as applying to the sale of the 1 "Exide" Battery, so extensively used for automobile starting and lighting. The manufacturer of the ""Exide" 1 • battery realizes that trouble fre- ] quently results from the car owner's lack of attention to the storage bat tery used for his starting and light- ' ing. Like any other mechanical or electrical device subjected to continu- j ous wear and tear, the storage bat- \ < tery requires a certain amount of at- ; < tention. Neglect naturally causes un- f l necessary depreciation and may result j; in the ruin of the battery, while a I reasonable amount of care will im- j j measurably increase its life and effi- ( ciency.

SATURDAY EVENING, with the users of his product, the ma- j ' Jorlty of whom are located at great, distances from their works, the Elec- j trie Storage Battery Company has : established "Exide" service stations j ir. all the principal cities and towns j throughout the country, with the pri- J mary object of insuring to the users [ prompt and authoritative advice re- | gurdtng their battery, its care. etc. ! At every "Exide" service station is! found an experienced battery man who will cheerfully advise the mo- j torist regarding his battery needs. Car owners in-the vicinity of the "Ex ide" service stations are furnished with individual free battery test cards which entitle the holder to a regular monthly test of his automobile bat tery free of charge, regardless of the make .of his battery. Battery parts are always carried in stock at an "Exide" sevice station and a compe tent mechanic is there to make re | pairs when necessary at a reasonable \ cost. The company at various Intervals sends to the "Exide" service station printed matter which in turn is mailed to car owners in a given terri tory. This printed matter treat* in various ways of the proper atten tion which it is necessary to give to the battery during summer and win ter and covers other parts which might interest the user. In this way the consumer is al ways in more or less active touch with the manufacturer or his ap pointed representative and the rela tionship naturally acts to the advan tage of both parties concerned, Harry. L Myers, proprietor of the "Exide" Service Station in Ilarrisburg, has endeavored to make his service station a model for all others. BOARDS AWAIT DECISIONS Carlisle, Pa..

Market Square. Dyke s Auto Encyclopedia Is Greatly Improved "Dyke's Automobile Encyclopedia" Is a book deserving of mention. Mr. Dyke, of St Ix>uis. is reported to have published the first practical book on automobiles in America. Mr. Dyke also is said to have originated the first auto supply company in America—lß97. His twenty-one years of experience in the automobile busi ness as a supply man and publisher is now represented In this new edition of this book. . The book isn't what you would term an encyclopedia in the true sense of the word, yet it is a very complete reference work on auto mobiles; any subject, trouble, remedy or repair you can think of can be found in the fi.ooo lines of index. It isn't exactly a. textbook, yet 68j • of the leading autimobile schools of the country are said to use part of this book to teach the fundamental j principles of assembly of a car, en gine principles Mid construction, ' valve timing. igniti*i and carburetlon principles, etc. A beginner will learn the fundamental principles of each and every part of an automobile from the axle to the engine. All cars are covered in a distinctive and unique method, which is to teach the stu ! dent the principles of the parts first, then explain the variance of con struction afterward. Complete speci fications of all cars are given so the render will understand the variance ; of construction of tlie different makes i of cars. The repair subject is probably the most interesting part of the book. There ore 1,189 Illustrations and 164 pages devoted to this subject alone. It Is the most complete book o;i automobile repairing and adjusting to come before our notice. Before taking up the subject of repairing and adjusting you lirst learn the principle and construction of all the parts and then step by step you aro taken through the sub ject of adjusting and repairing. ' other instructions cover such sub- j jects as how to build a repair shop I for home or business; how to equip the shop, from small tools to re grinding cylinders: tire repairs; weld j ing; battery charging, etc., are thor oughly treated. You are then taught how to use tools; how to cut threads; how to distinguish S. A. E. from U. S. S. threads; how to use and read measuring Instruments; how to solder, case harden, repair radiators; ho.w to redesign old cars; how to straighten frames, fenders, etc. The adjustment of all leading rear axles, differentials, brakes, clutches, how to remove rear axles, etc., Is valuable to the motorist. The subject of oxy-acetylene welding is very com plete and fully Illustrated. The electric subject also deserves special mention. The instructions on ignition systems cover the entire Held and in a simplified manner that anyone can understand. In fact, one can learn the principle by merely studying the illustrations, which are a feature of the bo<K. The instruc tions on the electric starting, gene rating and lighting are simplified with hundreds of clear illustrations and diagrams. There are 775 illustrations and 279 pages to the electric subjects in the book, including the storage bat tery and ignition subjects. In addition to the book there are two supplements on the Ford and Packard, with 382 illustrations and 91 pages, part printed in two colors. There are also five colored inserts. Also a dictionary. Supplement No. 1 deals with the Ford, of which there are 59 pages and 301 illustrations. Such subjects as how to get more miles per gallon, how to overhaul a Ford, how to make a Ford do sixty miles per hour, how to convert a Kord for commercial use. how to construct a combination- body, how to construct a Ford racer, "fine-point" adjust ment. etc., are dealt with in the Ford supplement. Supplement No. 2 treats on the Packard twin-six. Here wo have a complete detail description of this multl-cylindered car with many two colored illustrations. The principle, operation and adjustments are sim plified. The inserts illustrate the subject of different makes of engines, as the Continental, Franklin, Haynes, Ster ling, Wisconsin aviation engine and' many others. A feature of the Inserts is that of a four-cylinder engine, illustrated with blank space for the student to draw in the parts, in order to more clearly understand just where the FOUR SIX * S e.d a n (Sedan tt® ua Immediate Delivery Of L,ow Cost Luxury Materials were purchased when prices Both the Sedans and the Coupes are ruled much lower. i the convertible type—the sides of N the car may be made entirely open And factory foresight has provided from end to end or entirely cIo8ed; these luxurious closed cars ahead n. u t J Of time so that you need not suffer The change "n be made ea.ly and the delay so often encountered in quickly, the delivery of a closed car.

SEPTEMBER 22, 1917, buretor cannot supply at once enough gasoline to compensate the Inrush of extra air to the motor. This Is a fault more or less common to carburetors; and the way In which Cadillac engineers have over come It is hltfhly ingenious. When the throttle is opened quick ly the tendency Is for the mixture to become lean, for the reason that the gasoline, because of . Its greater (density, is not drawn into the mlx | ing chamber as easily and as rapidly as the air. This disproportion of gasoline and air Is seldom of more than momentary duration, but even that Is pufllclcnt to cause a skip or two or a choking of the motor and keep it from developing the power needed for rapid acceleration. The device evolved by the Cadillac engineers is a skillful application of the plunger pump principle. In this case, however, the action Is confined to only one stroke of the plunger. "When the throttle Is suddenly open- Ed the plunger automatically acceler ates the supply of gasoline through tho spray nozzle, thereby providing a correct explosive mixture for quick nccelci'ailon. and the getaway Is In stantaneous.
