VELIE MODELS
ARE IMPROVED
New Standards of Beauty;
Four-Passenger Attrac
tive Type Added
Velie is out with their new Blltwel
Six models. New body designs have
been created for each type of car
and a Sport model of most attrac
tive pattern added to the series,
making a total of nine new body
styles—a line fully satisfying and
complete in itself.
Bigger, Better, More Power, was
the watchword of Velie production
just ended. The use of Continental
Red Seal motors, Timken axles and
bearings, multiple disc clutch and
innumerable features of equal merit
brought the Velie Blltwel Six chas
sis to a state of mechanical per
fection. Now, to all this, retained
and even bettered, have been nd
ded qualities totally unexpected In
cars of such price. The several new
Velie models have a grace of line
and curve, a grade of upholstery
and finish, and a wealth of refine
ment in those little details which
Please and satisfy and which exper
ience only can produce.
It is generally admitted that Velie
made more automobile history the
past year than any other car re
gardless of price. Now, with a
range of models more extensive than
ever before, satisfactory mechanical
ly in every respect, and a develop
ment of body designs distinct and
apart from the commonplace, Velie

Two chassis make up the new

base of 115-inches, with tires 32x4.

stroke; carefully built; accurately
balanced, and sturdily constructed
througout. 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. A completely
enclosed disc clutch and three
speed selective transmission are in
unit and hung on throe points with
; the motor. The most abusive road
! has no effect on the alignment or
efficiency of the new Velie power
j plant.
HotchkisS drive through two Unl

ings throughout complete the drive

ken with Timken bearings.
Theoretical spring suspension may
| come and go. but the Velie three-
I quarter elliptic rear springs have
won their way since 1908 and are
| continued on the new models. With
| out doubt they serve as the basis
j of Velie's reputation as an easy
| riding car.
Refinements in mechanical de
signs are in evidence throughout
the new models. All electric wiring
is enclosed in metal conduit with
protecting fuses on each service.
The radiato/ is larger and deeper,
consequently, more efficient. The
headlights are rigidly mounted on
tubular standards in fact, evary
detail of chassis construction shows
the evidence of thoughtful develop
ment.
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.
All instruments are neatly ar
ranged on the cowl board. The con
trol and brake levers are in the
compartment center. Hand and
foot throttles are provided and con
trol pedals made adjustable to suit
the driver.

quality one has learned to expect

Everyone turns for a second look
at the Velie four-passenger Sport

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.

Demands For W-0 Cars in
September Exceeded Supply
Another evidence of the ever
growing demand for motorcars is
evident in an authoritative statement
to the effect that in spite of is huge
production, Willys-Overland, Inc., of
Toledo, was unable to ship during
September >ull the Overland ami
Willys-Knight cars which were sbld
at retail that month.
"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. Nevertheless, I
j venture to say that a close scrutiny
j of the sales reports would reveal an
I amazing number of new owners—

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.
"In other weirds, the motorcar
| has come to be a most essential fae
