Angora Goats Furnish Cadillac Upholstery It's a lucky soldier whose wife, mother, sister or sweetheart kivits for him a sweater or a helmet of Angora wool. For the fine, long Angora makes the warmest, closest and softest of garments. Most women knitters know this, and most of them feel that, except for a very especial bit of knitting, Angora wool is too costly for them to use. But Angora is not too costly for the Cadillac Motor Car Company to use for upholstering the interiors of ita enclosed cars. It forms the bsse of the mohair velvet which is found in Cadillac limousines, broughams, town cars r.ni< landaulets. The Cadillac Company has found that no other material quite matches Angora mohair velvet in beauty, dur ability or cleanliness. None of the original luster of the long, silky •wool is lost in the preparations which precede its weaving into fab rics. When the velvet is complet ed, it has a pile which it is impossi ble to crush flat. Hence all the wear comes on the ends of the individual fibers, and even in hard use is so slight that it is not perceptible. Pull man and other high class railroad cars have their chairs upholstered with mohair velvet, F \ car seat that had been in constant service for 24 years was recently exhibited by one of the railroads. Having a pile, dust settles into it, does not show on the surface, and at proper times' and places can be removed by air blast, vacuum cleaner or brush. DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS The natural inclination is for a driver to throw out the car's clutch in coasting or driving over rough roads. If the motor is allowed to keep pulling it keeps everything taut nd lessens shocks and jars that the car gets through bumping over ruts. j Miller Auto Co's Big Display at The Show; j "Oldsmobile" "Haines" "Maxwell" "MaxwelkffisTfruck" "Graham Truck Unit" i IF GRAHAMBROTHERS 1 OLDSMOBILE Mf | Complete Truck &O QC 11| The Car of Double Character j Unit m— —► j jj atfchtaj tlx nnit th Ford wu xlwr anchnt>d. ji ji* '■ i| ; ii You get all This for $385 All Ready to Attach to a Ford Chassis i; In common with all Oldsmobile eight- the accelerator, a veritable burst of power is yjj CIY nip 1717 A TITRI7C ' ji i cylinder models, its silent, simple and power- at your command for lightning pick-up, jj < ,;j , MA Bill fMIUKIiO J , . ii ii ful perfected V-type motor amazes ev.en the steepest hill or heaviest road.

Slough is the local distributer.for the American Six touring car and Manager of the Harrisbur g Sales Company at 203 S. Seven teenth street. In speaking of the American Sixes, Mr. Slough said: "The American Six touring cars are designed and built by the famous Louis Chevrolet." They are a compound and durable car built not cnly for one season but to withstand the hard usage of every-day running for a number of seasons. For comfort, they give entire satis faction. This is due to the easy riding qualities made possible by the perfect distribution of weight, the low center of gravity, the self-snub bing quality of the semi-elliptic springs and the long wheel base. The cushions have the right pitch; ample leg room both front and rear, means that no matter how far the trip the passengers will'never com plain of cramped position." , Keeps the Essentials That Keeps Car Going seSEF PPH HI Hi ** Jgjn M Jh W.

GASOLINE A trick which has been exposed in the Middle West is the placing of mothballs in the gasoline tank. The ammonia in the mothball deadens the life of the gasoline. Done for tricltiness or spite, it is something not sanctioned in the "best of motor circles. A Bevy of Chevrolets In Fours and Eights PATRICK DRISCOLL Manager of the Driscoll Auto Co. Republic Truck Tires on Sale Tho'Republlc Truck tire, which is being introduced to Harrisburg by the Good Service Tire Co., 1119 Market street, is a new kind of truck tire from the average. It has been developed through years of Labora tory experiments. It is made of Prodium Rubber, which is an exclusive possession of the Republic Rubber Co. This pro cess gives the tire wonderful heat resisting properties and make it al most immune to road cuts and chip-1 ping. It wears down evenly and] smoothly like a piece of steel and so slowly that the life of the tire is greatly prolonged. The process of making this tire differs from the ordinary tire inas much as it is built up ply after ply. from one continuous piece of rubber from the steel channel base to the desired height of the tire. This does away with the trouble of breaking or splitting at the splice for in this construction there is no splicing. These tires are made in different sizes to fit most all makes of trucks. They are on display at the sales room of the Good Service Tire Co.
