Tire Economy by Care of Tires in Winter Tire neglect In winter is respon-; sible freuqently for absolutely un-1 necessary purchases in springtime; and inasmuch as economy is now foremost in the minds of all motor- i ists. the millionaire as well as the flivver owner, the B. F. Goodrich Kubber Company gives the following i suggestions for tire care during the winter months: "Tires should be removed from wheels and outsides of the casings washed with soap and water to re- j move all traces of oil. Injuries should be looked for; repairs made if any are needed. The tires should i be laid flat in a cool, dark room after i being wrapped In clean cloths or j preferably black paper. "Tubes should be taken out of cas ings, slightly Inflated and also laid' flat in a cool, dark place with 110' weight on them. '"lf tile tires are not removed from the wheels, jack up the car, leaving! only enough air in the casings toj keep tli. tire tight and in shape.! Cars should not be left for any con-! siderable period of time without! jacking up the wheels as the pro-! longed strain on the tires tend to! stretch them and develop weakj places in their structure. > at the many "WORTH-WHILE" car values M IfH which we have.

SATURDAY EVENING, Demand For Twelves of Airplane Type Throughout the country there has been a general Increase in the do mand for twelve cylinder cars, since the announcement that tho famous war airplanes are to be equipped with the "V" typo motors. The air planes seems to bo destined to play a very Important part in tho war, and America's airplanes will be the means whereby American troops will be so effective. Airplanes are becoming very pop-i ular with the American public. This popularity is evidenced by the un-1 usual Interest being shown in con-! nectlon with the National twelve-cyl inder car which is equipped with an airplane type motor. "The National i factory has a long standing reputa-! tion for building high-power mo tors," said J. A. Bentz, the local Na- | tlonal distributor. "In early days when automobile racing was dono ; with stock cars. National was a consistent winner and acquired the {itle of the World Stock Car Cham-! pion. National was tho first to put a six-cylinder car on the market and! they were pioneers with twelve-cyl- j inder motor cars. The present day National is built in both the six and i twelve models. Biding in the Na- 1 tional twelve cylinders is tho nearest approach can make to airplane rid ing and still stay on the ground." j Boosting Business Makes Bond Buying Better John X. Willys, the president of The Willys-Overland Company, when nskod concerning his opinion as to the success of the present Liberty Bond issue and Its relation to busi ness, expressed himself as follows: "There is no question in my mind but that this bond Issue is going to be over-subscribed, which only vin dicates the patriotism of the Amer ican citizen to Ills Flag. But one of the reasons why this bond issue is a success Is because the business In terests of this country have kept the wheels of progress going and must continue to do so througnout tho pe riod of the war. Money will be avail able for bond issues only so long as this country is prosperous, but 1 believe the public are realizing that a false economy would be disas trous. "A salesman in talking to me re cently on tho outlook for business voiced the sentiment that he hesi tated to go after business with the same degree of energy, feeling that at this time deference should be made to the Liberty Bond issue now being placed on the market. This man had decidedly the wrong view point. For instance, we have in our home and allied plants a payroll of approximately 30,000 men. If In our case we should fail'to push our business to the limit and in that way keep money in circulation and K as a net result our factories were to be idle and men laid off, think of the tremendous purchasing market for bonds that would be destroyed. "It is the patriotic obligation placed at the door of every business man to-day to do all he possibly can to keep business going to full ca pacity, and he has just as much of an obligation to the ultimate suc cess of this war as tho salesman who is selling J.iberty Bonds. "Together with that fact must be remembered tho fact that unless business is kept up to top efficiency, the Government will realize only a small fraction of its anticipated re turn on the new excess profits tax. The businessman who lays down to day is really working for the Kaiser." Simplicity and Essentials in Coming Show Models "Plans for the National Shows in January disclose striking; instances of the sobering Influence of the world war," says General Sales Manager .John D. Mansfield, of the Dort. "There will be a most noticeable absence of extremes in painting and upholstering effects. While there will be much substantial improve ment and logical development in evi dence, there will be fewer experi mental ideas exploited. "People are 'in no mood for other than solid, proven worth in the cars they buy nowadays, and those that will attract at the shows will be those that offer intrinsic value as opposed to extrinsic glamour." HXRRTSBURG fiSSfe TEI,EGIt7 Makes Forfeit Guarantee of Production Leadership That the Chalmers Motor Car Company was never so financially sound and settled and Is at this mo ment already on the highway to a new and greater era of successful prodyction are the high lights of a statement just reloased by Charles H. Barner, of tlio Keystone Motor Car Co. Mr. Barner's remarks were In spired by the $200,000 challenge Just Issued In tho form of a national ad vertisement, by tho Maxwell man agement, now controlling Chalmers production, and further continued In a personal communication from T. J. Toner, Chalmers sales director. "The absorption of Chalmers con trol by the Maxwell company," Mr. Barner explained, "Is a mere matter of finance. In no way has it retard ed production or changed essentials at the Chalmers plant. In financial circles it is considered a remarkable coupe, in the motor world it has been hailed as a distinctive prece dent that will redound to the benefit of owners, dealers and both corpora tions involved. "Unfortunately, all such far-reach ing moves nre accompanied by un founded rumors and groundless pre dictions. Some are well-meaning, others are deliberately malicious, it has been said in certain quarters, for instances, they go so far as to pre dict tlie closing of the Chalmers plant. Why, 1 have even heard such reckless statements on local streets, far removed as we are from Detroit, the only source of accurate and of ficial information. "It is not the intention of the Chalmers authorities to resort to argument and discussion in the col umns of the press, but for fear that silence at this time may create a wrong impression, the (Inal answer, now published, to all such ridiculous assertions, is not only assuring to the skeptic, but a stone wall to the tongue of gossip—and backed, if you please, by $200,000. "This security, posted in a state ment over the signature of Walter E. Flanders, the best evidence of Maxwell intentions and Chalmers plans for five years hence. There are thirty automobile companies at the present time making touring cars and roadsters in the Chalmers class, and it is with $200,000 worth of Con fidence that Mr. Flanders has set out to out-prod ace fifteen of these makes in 1018 and twenty of them the fol lowing year." Mr. Earner then enumerated some of the outstanding features of the Chalmers-Maxwell combine. The Maxwell Motor Co., Inc., Walter E. Flanders, president, has taken a five year lease on the plant and equip ment of the Chalmers Motor Co., and, the deal having been already con summated, Chalmers production is going forward uninterrupted under the direct control of the new admin istration. During this five-year tenure it is the intention of the Maxwell, officials not only to retain all the character istic qualities of the Chalmers car, but to leave undisturbed all estab lished policies, particularly as con cerns the organization of Chalmers dealers and distributors, considered one of the model developments of the automobile industry. Chalmers production is to be pushed with untiring effort and it is this announced program of intensive manufacturing that most emphat ically answers any and all questions of Chalmers stability. Cadillac Convention of Dealers Big Success The greatest optimism over the outlook for the coming year's busi ness was expressed by 102 CadiUSc distributors who attended the Deal ers' convention held recently at De troit. As Sales Manager E. C. Howard expressed it,' "It was very gratifying to realize that not merely certain sections of the country reflect this condition, but that virtually every distributor from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic, and from Canada to the Gulf, is looking forward to the big gest year he has ever had. "And practically every distribu tor," he continued, "had some con structive thoughts along the line ol efficiency, which could be profitably used by the entire organization. This interchange of ideas has given every distributor something to think about, and shown them ways in which they can even more intensively cultivato their territory." At the banquet held during the convention, It. 11. Collins, president of the Cadillac Company, delivered a stirring talk on the importance of maintaining the quality for whiph the Cadillac has always been noted, and showed how, in the face of rising costs, that there had never been the slightest thought of saving money by lowering the standards which have prevailed during the entire fifteen years of Cadillac history. Theodore F. MacManus also de livered a masterful address on the power of insistent and consistent ad vertising. Classic Concert Given by Irving College Faculty Meclianicsburg.

New Nash Six Holds Center of Stage According to C. B. gen eral sales manager of The Nash Mo tors Company, Kenosha, Wisconsin, the enthusiasm evidenced by the mo toring public In the new Nash Six lias been widespread. "Immediately following the announcement of the perfected valve-ln-head Nash Six, ac coi ding to our dealers," says Mr. Voorhls, "crowds of automobile en thusiasts flooded their local sales rooms. Everyone was eager to see the new car which bears the name of C. W. Nash. 'While all seemed impressed with the striking lines of the various models and agreed that the Nash de signers had done an exceptionally good Job when they evolved the new bodies and color schemes, the ohe feature that Impressed most buyers was the wonderfully compact mo tor. "In appearance, this Nash power [plant differs radically from tho or dinary six-cylinder motor. The us ual tangle of wires and maze of mechanism Is missing. Instead, the eye sees an engine that is as clean as a cut block of steel. All moving parts are encased in a steel Jacket that keeps out dirt and dust. "Tho live-passenger Sedan has at tracted many buyers within the few months that have elapsed since the announcement of the new Nash cars. Every year the public is coming more and more to realize the ad vantage and utility of this type of car, especially at this time, when sensible economy is being instilled into our minds from all sides, the great practicability of the Nash Se dan is apparent, for it combines all the features of both the open and closed car. "For winter driving about the city, for shopping, theater and any of the many social affairs that demand closed car service it is well suited. With the heavy plate glass windows closed, the passengers are protected against wind, rain and snow. "But just as soon as touring weather makes its appearance the Sedan feature is quickly eliminated and to all intents and purposes you have an open touring car." A Double-Barreled Opportunity!

Taking Eighty Parts From the Eight Motor The Apperson Brothers have made over the eight-cylinder gasoline mo tor. They have given another dem onstration of the Apperson efficiency with which they have been accus tomed to stir up the motoring world overy now and then for the past twenty-five years. . This latest mechanical stride of the Appersons is In the direction of simplicity. . Eighty parts have been removed from the Apperson eight cylinder motor. This motor has already become famous for its power, speed and economy. Now it is faster, rwore powerful, more economical than ever. In addition, it is more dependable than the best eight the Appersons have ever built previously. And Ap person dependability is a standard of value in tho motor industry. The iirst question a motorist asks upon being confronted with the statement of eighty parts eliminated is: "How do they do it?" The answer is: By one of those strokes of genius by which every worth-while thing is accomplished. In the new mbtor tho Appersons make one cam shaft do the work of two. All sixteen cams are on the single shaft. This construction reduces the number of cam gears to two. Rock er arms and valve lifter levers are eliminated entirely. The cran 1$ case is more rigid than ever before. Cam shaft and cam shaft bearings are exceptionally large. These are in a dewree deta'ls. But they are tho kind of details that are essential in increasing the jiie of a- motor. . The Apperson Broth ers have never made changes merely for the sake of doing things differ ently. They have aimed at a cer tain ideal and spared no effort nec essary to reach it. Among Ihe other improvements installed in the new eight is the counter-balanced crank-shaft. This also increases the motor speed and efficiency. But the feature that stands out NOVEMBER 3, 1917. is the elimination of eighty parts. This makes the Apperson the sim plest eight built to-day. Records for speed, power and gas oline economy prove the value of this latest example of Apperson en gineering skill. The motoring pub lic is interested and enthusiastic. Local Rales of the Apperson Eight are the proof. Motorists of this part of the country have found the Apperson more than equal to the most severe tests they can give it. // CERTIFIED\\ // VALUE f \\ / CMTI?-IED C V^uluE. ln ° Ur l ® ed ° aP D P ar,m *n t '■ " jj b ° " o,
