Now, to all this, retained and even bettered, have been nd ded qualities totally unexpected In cars of such price.

Developing in excess of 40-hp. this motor gives a surpris ing range of speed and flexibility, and with it all is extremely eco nomical. Demy starting, lighting and igni tion systems are made a part of the motor assembly.

But in the body itself is the nenf Model 3S strikingly different, since the exterior features lirst attract the eye. The higher radiator pro duces a hood line almost horizontal back to the sloping shield, while the roll of the body side continues unbroken from the nose of the rad iator to the rise of the rear seat. Both front and rear seat backs are higher and deeply cushioned over soft springs. The seats them selves tilt back comfortably and aro upholstered in French plaits of real leather.

The motor car Industry, constantly expanding with the rapidly growing demand, has provided insufficient skilled men for the inspection, adjustment and repair of vehicles in operation.

SAB nfe&£bt TFJ^EGRXPB! 2-POWER RANGE PEERLESS FACTOR The Biggest Selling Point Is the Loafing Range and Sporting Range The widely-known two-power range feature of the Peerless Eight continues to be a chief selling point for that popular car, in the opinion of Robert J. Sclimunk, sales man ager for the Peerless Motor Car Company, of Cleveland. The novel construction which gives this car all the' advantages of the so-called loafing range and at the same time all the thrilts and surges of emotion experienced In driving a car of tremendous speed and brute power has gradually led to its being known as the "car with second wind." "Practically every Inquiry which comes into the factory concerning our car," says Schmunk, "refers in one way or another to Its two-power range. And, by the way,, that is a really remarkable tribute to adver tising. When we first referred to the car's two-power-range advan tages, In our advertising, we were told that the public would not quick ly grasp the significance of the claim. "However, we kept hammering away at it until to-day it is almost as much % part of the name of the car as the word 'Peerlesaf itself. This is due largely to the fact that it most correctly expresses the chief characteristic of the car. "When a prospective purchaser approaches one of our dealers with the statement that he wants a car not distinguished for excessive pow er and speed, but one which glides along smoothly at a moderate pace and one which consumes a minimum amount of fuel, we given him a dem onstration of the loafing range of the Peerless Eight. And, by the way, the loafing range will furnish aU the speed ever required under nor mal circumstances. "Almost invariably the purchas er's curiosity will then lead him to question the salesman concerning the much talked about sporting range. He wants to know what its advantages are. Accordingly, the salesman takes the car to some steep grade, which the average loafing range car could not mount. He opens the throttle a little wider, the soft purr of the motor changes to a deep growl of brute power as the double poppets are released and the car enters into the sporting range and is up over the grade in less time than it takes to tell about it. "This contrast in performance cannot help but appeal to everyone. That Is why we are selling more passenger cars to-day than ever be fore In our history and, even with our new factory additions, we are being rushed in order to keep up with the demand." Four-Season Caj Is "Five yetrs ago autumn brought not only curling up and dying of leaves, but figuratively speaking, a similar operation on the part of the automobile dealer," cays John D. Mansfield, general sales manager of the Dort Motor Car Company. "The automobile business was then a seasonal one —from April to Oc tober the profits were made, and from October to April they wre spent. Excepting for the midwin ter shows there was so little doing that every salesman did a "Rip Van Winkle' until spring, "The magic that brought a change was in the veering of public taste toward the closed car. People be gan to learn that while motoring in summer has manifold benefits, win ter brings out some strong reasons for the use of a car. This change of viewpoint stimulated the production and consequently lowered the price of sedans and coupes. "Then came the so-called convert ible car—the kind with removable sides and panels, like the Dort Four season Sedanet. This innovation caught on so strongly that many peo-j pie now drive this type the entire year. Not only that, but cars of the 1 Dort Four-Season Sedan type, with permanent tops, are now so easily ventilated by all windows being quickly lowered, that thousands ac tually prefer them in warm weather as well as in cold. "This growing popularity of Four- Season cars is the thing that has turned formerly seasonal business into continuous business, made fac tories run all the time, kept dealers 'on their toes' in December, as well as in May, and brought the automo bile to the full fruition of its destiny —the greatest of utilities. = I ■ |H Having acquired an interest in the Wholesale and = I 'HI Retail business of the = *■ Standard Auto Supplies Co. | = SRnUjl* . <J& with Frederick C.

"With a small production, such a situation might have hut little sig nificance," said Carl Hanson, of the Overland-Harrlsburg Company, "but, when one considers that Willys-Over land, Inc., is one of the largest au tomobile producers in the world, with production running into thou sands of cars each month, one can i not Rlispuute the fact that there is , a tremendous call for cars. "In the case of Willys-Overland sales It is true that many of the { September buyers were what is j known as "repeat" buyers. They had previously owned our cars and were | buying new models.

DRISCOLL AUTO CO. 147 South Cameron Street automobile dealer the latter is the most encouraging feature of the buciness. It marks a general awak ening of the public to the utility advantages of the motor vehlclo. The vast majority of purchasers now adays are not buying cars simply because they expect to get pleasure out of them. On the other hand, they are buying them for economic reasons. "One man gets a car because It will prove a big time-saver—give him more working hours each day. An other gets one at the advice of his Physician so that he can have an hour's recreation each day without j disturbing his office routine. And still another buys a car so that he ! can economize on living expenses— move out in the suburbs at lower I rental and more pleasant surround ings, and so on.
