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. I
I While it is almost impossible for a t
manufacturer to keep in active touch <

Do you know that a man can move a fully loaded Interna
tional Truck on a level dirt road by turning the drive shaft
with one hand? A good engine has an easy time furnishing
power to a truck built as wellas that.
During the month of July, 1513 International Motor Trucks were sold
in the United States to be used for commercial purposes. Some of these
concerns had problems just like yours. Ask us to show you how the In
ternational solves them.
There is a size and style for your business 1,500, 2,000, 3,000 or

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.

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

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.
