PREMIER cars with any reason
able treatment grow better with
age. There are Premiers today with
twenty thousand miles to their credit
that run as smOothly and quietly as
they did the day they left the factory.
The secret of Premier's longevity is
its bridge girder, eight-inch frame
and sturdy, conscientious
workmanship and fine material. Pre
mier owners are Premier's best
salesmen.
Ask for a demonstration.

TIMELY LOCAL FEATURES OF INTEREST TO AUTOIST3
BY ALFRED P. DA VIES, AUTO EDITOR.
McMillan was Elected president and
i general manager w hen they incor
porated some time later. Harry M.
I Cohen was elected treasurer and
John Cohen secretary. Their bnsi
ness grew with jumps and bounds
until they were forced to stop#dor
age and confine their efforts to
repairing- exclusively.
Since that time they have been
: appointed distributors for the Trux-
I tyn Unit and Anchor tops and are
j doing an extensive business in used
i cars, as well as the' Ford work.
This same business with the possi
ble addition of a touring car
agency will be continued under the
management of Harry and John
Cohen. At the present time the re
construction of the management is
in the course of reconstruction, and
the new business policy will be an
nounced at an early date.
Clyde Myton, secretary of the
Motor Club, is in receipt of a letter
from a Lewistown man who is a
member of the local club relative
to an experience he had recently
in Philadelphia. Going to the lat
ter city some time ago in his ma
chine, he stored it over night in a
garage from which it was stolen.
The machine was recovered three
days later, but had been stripped
of everything it contained. The
garage man being responsible for
the car. puf up a kick when it came
to settling. The Letvistown man
went to the Philadelphia Motor
Club, showed his membership card
in the local club and asked assist
ance. The Philadelphia club Im
mediaetly got on the job. secured
a lawyer, and gave every assistance
possible that meant the clearing up
of the case. This assistance is ten
dered every member of a motor
club by practically every club all
over the country. In writing to
Mr. Myton of this fact, the Lewis
town man laid special emphasis on
the fact that in this one instance
alone he was saved a great deal
more than the cost of a year's mem
bership in the local club beside be
ing relieved of a gkeat deal of worry
and trouble. i
HERE'S A SPLENDID TIP
READ IT OVER CAREFLT-I/ST.
There are a few of us In this city
who aro aware of the fact that only
a few miies distant Is located a large
army recuperating hospital. The
exact location is the old Carlisle In
dian School. Know where that is.
Yes? Well here's what Clyde My
ton has to say about It.
Over in the old Indian School at
Carlisle there are quite a few sol
diers who are so badly wounded
that they are confined to their beds:
there are others who are confined
to the Immediate vicinity, but there
is also a largo number that are
able to get out for an airifflg oc
casionally. These fellows a™ from
overy part of the country. The dik
•majority of them do not have one
friend in this part of the universe
and little money with which they
might be able to get around and
enjoy a little of the pleasure that
t the most of us enjoy.
There are a large number of mo
torist who go out for a spin quite
often with empty seats, or they
pick tip a neighbor or two and take
along. That is fine but stop and
think how much one or two of those
soldief boys would appreciate a
little ride. You might tpossibly be
going to Gettysburg or Chambers
burg or around by the way of i ork.
Wouldn't it be just fine to pick up
a couple of boys and take them
along. Or some Sunday afternoon
you may have a couple of hours of
spare time on your hands that you
don't know what to do with.
Wouldn't you be fully repaid if you
should run over to Carlisle and get
a load of soldier boys and take
them for an hour's ride. If when

getting: out their faces radiated the
pleasure they feel in knowing that
some one in this neck of the woods
thought enough of' them to go out
of their way a little to give them
some much needed fresh air? And
you can just bet that is the way
they would feel about it.
It is up to the motorist of this
community to show these boys that
they have appreciated what has
been accomplished "Over There.''
Possibly you may have a boy of
your own who is enjoying the same
thing while recuperating in a
French Hospital. But even if you
haven't, don't you think it would be
an admirable thing if these boys
when they go to their homes would
have reason to remember, the hos
pitality of Central Pennsylvania for
a long time to come. Harrisburg
has always been "Johnny on the
pot" in such matters and I know
that when this fact is brought to
their attention every oie will re
spond willingly.
The Harrisburg Telegraph "Went
Over the Top" last Saturday In the
volumn of automobile advertising
carried In any single Issue of any
Harrisburg newspaper for more
than a year without any exception.
This is a good criterion of the won
derful season that is ahead in the
automobile business. There is more
enthusiasm, both from the dealers!
and the public's standpoint, this
February than there has ever been
before. The manufacturer, the
dealer, and the prospective pur
chaser are' breathing easier now
than they have since the war began,
and every indication points to the (
fact that John Smith will surely I
get the car he wants when he wants
it.
WILL WE iun: GOOD ROADS
SOME DAY- LOOK AT THIS.
Over half a billion dollars, to be
exact, $562,000,000 —will be ex
in the next three years through the
partnership between the National
Government and the forty-eight
states created by the Federal aid
road act—lf, as is expected, the
Senate $209,000,000 amendment to
the road act is concurred in by the
House of Representatives. Chair
man Bankhead of the Senate post
office and post roads committee,
predicts the House conferees will
agree with the Senate conferees.
Pennsylvania's share of this huge
budget will be $12,632,849.94, and
this added to the $50,000,000 road
loan that Just recently was passed
by the voters of the state, means
that little old Pennsylvania is as
sured of the finest roads in the
country. Pennsylvania is to re
ceive the third largest amount as
scheduled. New York and Texas
! alone receiving larger amounts.
CAR LOAD OF CROW-ELK
HARTS RECEIVED YESTERDAY.
Monn Bros., the local distribu
tors for Crow-Elkhart cars, received
a car load of Crow-Elkhart, Six
yesterday. These cars had been pre
viously ordered and will be deliver
ed immediately to their owners.
These are the first six cylinder I
Crow-Elkharta to come to Harris
burg and hafe been creating con
siderable attention.
Alonn Bros recently were appoint
ed distributors for Sanford trucks
and have said three in the three
weeks that they have had them.
Sandford trucks are well known
and are sure to become popular In
this territory.
A table showing the growth of the
automobile industry in the past ten
years has recently been complied by
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce. The automobile in
dustry now stands as the ' third
largest industry in this country.
1918 was a disastrous year from
standpoint of output owing to the
war, but 1919 gives every promise
to "go over the top" of any previous
year. Following is the increase as
