On this same chassis they are building a new car, which will be known as the Apperson for 1920. It will differ from the anniversary models in body end design only. This model will come thru a seven-passenger touring car and four-passenger sportster. lirlwoo M. Brenner and Sons Motor Car Co., distributors, 1702 N. Third Street, Booth No. 19. Briscoe cars are continued for 1919 without change. It has the same high, narrow radiator that characterized it last season, and slant ing windshield, giving it an added touch of speed and power. The engine has a comparatively long stroke. There is also an unusual drive of the generator,from off the cam shaft. The cone clutch is some what different from most types, being of the inverted kind. In tho body is a door between the front See the New ELCAR j 1 the Show There are numerous reasons why you will ap prove the new ELCAR models. Every car that leaves the Elkhart factory bears the unmistak able stamp of masterworkmanship and "built-in" quality that has characterized ELCAR vehicles for over forty-six yeais. The newer ELCAR models comprise both four and six cylinders. The four-cylinder models arc fully equal to the sixes in "dollar for dollar" value their choice a matter of individual preference. They are alike in wheel-base, general chassis construction and in body design, construction and finish, their only difference being in motor, clutch and trans mission. The ELCAR recognizes no peer in abundance of power, efficiency of spring suspension, easy steering and economy in cost of operation and upkeep. WE WILL ALS© HAVE ON DISPLAY CASE TOURING CARS The new Ca.se ears for 1910 will appeal to the gi-eat majority of buyers, as it is a oar coming within tho medium price range and still possessing unusual features i , of comfort and utility without extravagance. It is of stx-cyliiuler type, of greatest all-around flexi bility, with a line motor ably supported by selected units that bar© proven best under flic hardest test we could devise. In this car utility is supplemented by a body design and refinement or finisli that mean rooinv tonneau arid distinctive good looks. No detail of complete comfort is lacking. It Is a car of which yon can be justly proud. CONOVER MOTOR CO. 1334 HOWARD ST.

The Buick, in addition to a num ber of minor improvements, has in troduced a system of self-lubrication of rocker arms and a dustproof cover oyer the top of the motor. , Other wise the long-used standardized me chanical features have been contin ued. Convenience lias been con sidered, along with efficiency, in the new and better bodies that have been designed and lighter, stronger ma terials are used. In their 1919 models they have readied their high est state of development. They in clude the three-passenger touring car, five-passenger touring car, coupe for four, sedan for four, seven-passen ger touring car, and sedan for seven. The Buick is built in two chassis sizes, 118 inches and 124 inches. The six-cylinder valve-in-head type of motor Is used. Cadillac The Cadillac is not on display at the Auto Show but is sold in Har risburg by the Cadillac-Hinton Com pany, 3115 S. Cameron Street. Case Oonover Motor Company, distribu tors, 133 4 Howard Street, Booth No. The Case Company is building the Case six, model N, in the same chassis and body design us offered in 1918. Tho closed car has Keen dropped. Those continued are the seven-passenger touring car and four-passenger roadster on the same chassis. A Continental engine is used. The wheel base is 125 inches. Columbia rear axle, Raylleld car buretor, Borg & Beck clutch. Grant Lees gearset and other standard units are employed. The top of the body line from cowl to rear seat is horizontal, and the whole design gives a conception of speed and com fort further enhanced by the de c.idely sloping, folding windshield Mahogany paneling is used in the cowl board and rear of front seat. Chalmers Keystone Motor Car Co., distribu tors, 57 S. Cameron Street, Booth No. lfi. The chalmers has two models this year, very similar in mechanical con struction, except for the fact that one has a wheelbuse of 117 inches, while the other is 122 inches. The engine in both cases is a six with cylinders 3\\ x 5 Vi. With the two wheelbase lengths it is possible to mount a wide range of body styles, and no less than nine are offered, including both open and inclosed cars. Qjiandlcr Andrew Redmond, distributor, 1507 N. Third Street, Booth No. 11. The Chandler Company is another one of those manufacturers who have seen fit to concentrate on one chassis model only, building It to such a high standard of perfection that only minor mechanical changes have been found to be advisable. But, as evidenced at the New York and Chicago shows, they are fol lowing the trend of the day toward ! individuality in body designs, both jof the closed and open types. But I the Chandler coupe and sedan arc, perhaps, the most distinctively new [types in their line this year. Both ' are beautiful, dignified designs, free from any suggestion of the faddish or freakish. The Chandler sedan, with four wide doots, seats in com fort when tli© auxiliary chairs are in use. In the driver's seat is stag- Bard s'ightly forward of the wide seat, which accommodates two per sons. A folding chair of ample size and perfect comfort opens to a posi tion alongside the driver.

Cole Tlarrisburg Auto and Tire Co., distributors, 131 S. Third Street, Booth No. Q. Six body models carried by a sin gle eight-cylinder chassis comprise the. line of cars manufactured by the Cole Motor Car Company, of Indian 'apolis, Ind. it is explained that the fiULERISBURG TELEGRAPH One Auto to Each 18 Persons in U. S. The latest automobile census shows that there is one motor vehicle for every 18 persons In the United States, the registration figures for the various states , totaling some 5,945,000 cars and trucks. Briefly, there are almost six times as many cars and trucks now than threro were seven years ago. And making the compar ison finer, the figures for the close of 1918 represent an Increase of 20 per cent over those for 1917, the net gain during the last year being slightly over 1,000,000 — and this in a wartime period. Cole aero-eight was developed dur ing the early days of the war and that a number of detail improve ments have been developed in the meantime, so that there is much of interest at the Colo booth. As grace ful in their poise as a monoplane, with low, beveled side panels, mas sive fenders, high cowls and sharp, keen lines, they have about them a material individuality that is in stantly appealing. The Cole lino con sists of toursters, roadster, sportster, touring coupe, touring sedan and town car. Crow-Elkliart Monn Bros., distributors, 13th and Thompson Streets, Booth No. 20. The Crow-Elkhart for 1919 Is practically the same as last year. It is built on one standard chassts with five different body designs.

It sells for a trifle over a thousand dollars. Dodge Keystone Motor Car Co., distribu tors, 57 S. Cameron St., Booth No. 16. So far as general design and con struction are concerned there are no changes in Dodge Brothers cars, in fact, changes are hardly to be looked fqr in a line that stands so firmly on the basis of complete stan dardization, a policy adopted and fol lowed since the manufacture of Dodge cars was begun. F.lcar Conover Motor Co., distributors, 1334 Howard Street, Booth No. 7. The Klcar is built in both four and six cylinder models, four and five passenger touring, sporster and se dun. It is a medium priced car that has met approval where ever it is shown.

The Essex is displayed at the automobile show this year for the first time. It was designed by some of the leading engineers in America to meet the demand for a high grade car, light in weight, economi cal in upkeep and moderate in price. The car is built at the Hudson fac tory in Detroit. The Essex is so sturdily constructed that it rides over the roughest roads with the smooth ness of a car of much greater weight. The springs of the Essex are unus ually long for a car of its size. Ford Williams Motor Co., distributors, 221 N. Second Street, Booth No. 2. No mechanical chonges have been made in the Ford, save for the equipment of the closed models with Liberty starters, for the com ing season. It is expected that the starter will be applied to as many cars as is possible with the output of the starters, and ultimately it may be expected as standard equipment with all Ford body types. Four : types are offerod, including five-pas senger touring, two-passenger run about, two-passenger coupe and five passenger sedan. Haynes Miller Auto Co.. distributors, 58 S. Cameron Street, Booth No. 4. The Haynes 1919 chassis has but few changes, using the same motor and transmission as heretofore. The frames arc deeper and heavier gage material: the spring construction is much longer and is made flat, in suring riding qualities. A Bendrix drive starter simplifies the construc i tion and lessens the number of parts. There is but one chassis for all mode's, having 127-inch wheelbase. Refinements which make for com fort, pride and satisfaction are ex emplified in the many new features. An inclined two-piece windshield af fords better vision and lends charm to the appearance. Rich simplicity marks the style of this season's Haynes coupe, sedan and limousine, the three closed cars offered. Four passengers are accommodated In the coupe by using the auxiliary seat. Hudson Gomery-Schwartz Motor Car Co., distributors, 116 Market Street, Booth No. 5. The Hudson super-six is built in a single chassis model, which has been standardized and brought to a high state of development. Nine differ ent body designs are offered this year, including seven-passenger phaeton, four-passenger phaeton, four-passenger coupe, sedan, limou sine, touring limousine, town car and three-passenger cabriolet. Per haps its outstanding mechanical fea ture is the counter-balanced crank shaft. which caused something of a sensation when it made Its first ap pearance because of the high speed, high power and smooth running made possible. This feature, with others, lias given the car a reputa tion for road ability. Mechanically the cars remain this year fundamen tally the same with certain refine ments. Kissel M. Brenner and Sons Motor Co., distributors, 1702 N. Third Street, Booth No. 19. The Kissel Motor Car Company has concentrated for 1919 on a sin gle six-cylinder chassis model, hav ing eliminated the twelve-cylinder mode 1 For. years Kissel cars have been noted for their fine body work, particularly for inclosed cars and types suitable for use during the four seasons. It calls its line the "Hun dred Point Six," and U includes se dan, four-passenger Gibraltar body, equipped also with semi- Victoria style summer top: also sedan top at [Continued on Page 11.1 | KISSEL URGES CO-OPERATION \ Says Industry Now Needs One Hundred Per Cent. Enthusiasm G. A. Kissel, president of the Kis sel Motor Car Company, says: Now that the war is over and vic tory won, our faces are turned to ward a new era of unwonted prom ise. We have a large debt, due to war expenditure, but happily we have plenty of money to pay it with. Our country Is physically uninjured, our factories, buildings, fields and ma chinery are intact. The automobile show this year finds America with more wealth, mineral and agricultural, than in the whole of Europe, and we will Btart more prosperously and with much greater possibilities than any other ■nation on the globe. With all these facts before us, it puts the question of cheerfulness and satisfaction for the close of 1919 en tirely up to ourselves. The average American business man, as well as the financial powers, have every con fidence in this country and its re cuperative powers and are more than willing to go ahead and take those average risks needed to proceed without delay. It is up to us of the motor car in dustry—manufacturing, wholesale or retail—to make our plans for getting our just share of business. .Tust so would our country lose its present world power position if the financial and business interests of our gov ernment did not plan ahead and pro ceed with such plans. We can all obtain the greatest re sults by concentrating to a definite purpose or ideal, then with it the fullest co-operation of all Interested, Just so did Woodrow Wilson do when he set out that "Right and justice was the purpose and ideal which mean Americanism," regardless of life or financial loss, and concen trated on that at all times, as well as co-operated with and had other countries co-operate us to that end even for the future by the es tablishment of the League of Na tions. It is our purpose to make good au tomobiles. To that end we will con centrate on one passenger car chas sis. namely, the custom-built chassis, with several body styles, making such betterments as have been necessary to have it as nearly 100 per cent, perfect a sponsible. When our government called for assistance, we gladly offered our plarit, organization and facilities, even to sending to the front about 250 men. When wo were asked to produce a large daily output of trucks on a very short notice, we first thought it impossible, but with the American spirit of concentration, co-operation and hard work, we were able, in a few months, to do what previously seemed impossible. It is with the same spirit of enthu siasm and eo-operation that we are now proceeding with a definite ideal ahead of us. Gould Service Station Located in.
