MAXWELL SHOWS NEW REFINEMENTS Improvements Add to Value of Car Without Chang ing One Model . Besides several important im provements, which greatly enhance the value of the Maxwell there .are many lesser refinements which add to the car's mechanical perfection, although there has been no funda mental change in the one model chassis. In the Maxwell to-day the depth of the frame members has been in creased from three to six Inches. The former method of attaching thb body to the frame \y the use ot brackets has been discarded and thb body now rests directly upon the frame itself, which greatly strength- ens the car. The elimination of the noisy splash guards, made possible by the change. Is appreciated by mo torists. The wlieelbase has been increas ed by half a foot this season, its length now being 109 inches. The body is also roomier. Another improvement is the com pensating underslung rear spring now used by the Maxwell. This type of spring is the same that has re cently been adopted by many of the manufacturers of the highest priced cars. The longer wlieelbase, with the underslung compensating rear springs, not only improves the rid ing qualities wonderfully but makes for even greater "readability"— a feature always noted in Maxwell cars. , There has been installed an Im proved strainer and sediment bulb in the gas line. An electric lock controls the making it impossible to mesh the pinion and fly wheel while the motor is running. A heaviei pinion is used in the rear axle, A larger gas tank has an Improver* gauge and tiller pipe. A single point switch is made pos sible by the use of a straight 12-volt battery, which assures a better bat tery service. The minor mechanical improve ments, however, are not the only new features in the one model Max well. The body-hood and cowl lines are extremely graceful this year. The front and rear aprons, slant ing windshield, deeper and softer upholstery, the improved quality of trimming material, wider running boards and fenders all combine to make one of the most attractive ears ever produced in its price class. The slanting windshield eliminates the back glare of lights from the rear. The staggard seat roadster with its roomy rear compartment, the roomy four-door sedan, the six pass enger Berline, the luxurious coupe, and the all weather tops on touring and roadster models are all in keep ing. II YOU MUST SEE II THE ARMLEDER Before you buy a motor truck you owe it to yourself to see and investigate the Armleder. It has many special features of design. They tell in performance. So does the liberal expenditure of the best material in the construction of the truck. These superiorities are easy to appreciate. I You will see their great value at once. Let ui explain. Let u refer you alio to • number of owner* who can tell you how the trucki perform. Two-Ton Worm-Drip* T'nrtt-and-a-haU-ton Harrisburg Welding and Brazing Co.

K. THOMPSON ± ' District Manager For Hudson Sales Agency and Saxon Distributing Company. Case Automobiles Are Sold by C. L. Conover The Case six-cylinder automobiles J that are being exhibited at the Auto I Show by C. I* Conover cover a series of designs that meet most all re quirements in automobiles. The all-season model, a Springfield type body, with its artistic and sub stantial refinements, interior perfec tions and riding comforts, presents the distinctive appeal to the ultra fashionable and sensible automobile owner. This car with the windows in place makes the interior as snug as a bug in a rug in wintertime anil in summer with the windows low-' ered into the sides in a manner that, makes it an attractive car for the open season. In the Family model, the lines of j this new Case Six seven-passenger car are distinctly beautiful. Seven passengers share the enjoyment of deeply tufted upholstery and Mar shall cushion springs. Front scat j comfort is one of the many features j of the new Case Six. Undersluns | seini-elliptic springs put that con- j scling satisfaction Into the full rear seats. Complete electrical equipment. | including dash and tonneau lights; j divided front seats; mahogany pan- ! eling in the cowl, and many other features make this one of the desira ble touring cars. The Sport model gives pleasurable riding to four passengers. Mechan- j ically the same as tile seven-passen- J ger model, yet compact, the fascina- i tion of having a party of two, three j or four snugly seated, riding at a j snail's pace or at its premier pace of sixty miles an hour, makes it enjoy- I able and comfortable. It is a practi cal model for the professional or bus- I iness man, and meets the "class" re- 1 quirements of the son or daughter. i Packard Models More Attractive Than Ever The note of efficiency and utili tarian purpose is most evident in the car diaplay choAen for the Har risburg Automobile Show by Mr. B. H. Harrington, Local Manager of the Harrisburg Branch of the Packard Motor Car Company. Special atten tion is directed to the two caw, one of which is a standard 3-35 Twin- Six seven-passenger touring car and the other a 3-25 six-passenger con vertible Brougham. A truck is ex hibited of two tons capacity repre senting the latest development of worm-driven motor trucks. The car I exhibit is complete with a Runabout with a Fleetwood body and a seven passenger Limousine eqiupped with u Durham body. Mr. Harrington in referring to the new Twin-Six,- says it embodies greater beauty than any preceding model, although It carries the hall marks that have long distinguished Packard cars. In both open and enclosed cars the long low effect blended by fuselage lines is strik ingly apparent. The powerful, | smooth and economical perform j unee of the Twin-Six motor have es- I t.iblishet} the twelve-cylinder engine i 111 favor of motorists. Economy of • gasoline consumption, rapidity of Pick up, wide range of ability on high gear, smoothness of action at all speeds and surplus power for bill climbing are identified with the new Twin-Six to an even greater de cree than In any previous model. In speaking of the general utility I of the motor car to-day, Mr. Har ! rington relates that one of the chief I reasons for the rapid adoption of ! the automobile, to go back a fe- I years, was the inadequacy of the 1 horse. Now that -there is inade quate rail transportation, because of trie war conditions, an even wider held of operation is offered to the passenger car. The decision of the Government to cut off drawing room cars from railroad trains, and to dis continue many passenger trains or dinarily would inconvenience the man of affairs. Yet the man with a capable and thoroughly depend able motor car need not be incon i venienced. The necessity of the motor car is becoming generally recognised in an manner, as some one has said, eliminate the motor car to day and we would retrace fifty years and our efficiency would be cut in half. It is particularly certain that much greater use is to be made of the highways for general passenger reeds In the city to suburb and from city to city travel. With good roads the individual transportation service to be had by the means of the mo tor car can be made an actual means of saving time, money and energy. Thirty-eight cfne-ton trucks in use day and night since Julv 1 have re quired only $11.85 for repair parts, according to the Everitt Auto Sales Company, of Columbus, Ohio, in a report to the Maxwell factory. Two of tho trucks are engaged in the work of road building and have traversed 20,000 miles without one cent of expense to date NASH AND STANDARD TRUCKS FOR EVERY PURPOSE "USE MOTOR TRUCKS FOR SHORT HAULS" Is the .word from Washington. Nash and Standard Trucks Release Freight Cars • * With this truth apparent our government is straining every eflort to speed up the transportation of food, army equipment and munitions to France. The government has need for every available freight car. "L se motor trucks for short hauls," is the word from Washington. That business houses are heeding that call is evidenced by the ever increasing demand lor Nash and Standard Trucks.
