8 AUTOMOBILE SECTION SAT "TAr 26 ADVERTISING ALFRED P. DAVIES, Auto Editor 8-9-10 BUSINESSMEN FAVOR TWIN SIX Wants Permanent Design and Stability of En graving When men of~large affairs go into the market to buy an automobile, what do they look for in the car they choose to serve their business and personal transportation needs? Some interesting information in response to that question has been furnished the Packard Motor Car Company recently by its passenger transportation representatives in dif ferent cities. They interviewed prominent Packard owners who within the last month have bought either their first Twin Six or added another to their motoring establish ment. Permanence of a design already proved is valued most highly by such engineering design as an assurance customers. They regard stability of of continued sen-ice of the order they or their friends have had from cars of the same engine equipment. In the case of the Twin Six. so they reported to the Packard pas senger transportation department, they had at their command a car based on an engine design thorough ly tried in the service of 24,000 owners. In the four years since its first appearance, the Packard 12- cyllnder power plant has outrun in performance the best the engineers had predicted for it. and, improved by minor refinements incorporated from model to model, has set a standard that probably will endure for many years. Among the men at the head of great national businesses who have bought Twin Sixes quite recently are Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company; L. P., W. A. and F. J.

Appearance Worthy of a Paquin "• The exclusive richness of its accoutrements the snappy, youthful lines Mending with matron dignity, its foreign atmosphere modified by American solidity, give that well-bred aloofness of the custom-built motor car unmis takable evidence of a master body designer.

Tire dealers In small towns are showing an increasing tendency to put in a line of solid truck tires, says the United States Tire Com pany. This is largely due to the Impetus given to the motor truck Industry during the war period, and the demand even in small towns for solid tire service facilities. The most expensive part of the installa tion of the line Is the purchase of a press, but the opportunity for good business is overcoming this difficulty.

Nash Talks to University Students A great part of the trouble be tween labor and employer to-day Is that the employer, as soon as he gets a little money, feels he should put on a stiff collar, sit in an office and be surrounded by a lot of sec retaries so that an ordinary' man cannot go to him. Always play with your cards on the table —don't try to do things that are "cute" or "sharp." Be natural—don't try to appear some thing that you are not. The biggest men to-day are those who are the most democratic. A man that is humbly born, if he goes along as honorably and hon estly as he knows how will be as highly respected as the man who has a millionaire for a father. BXBRIBBURO TELEGRSPH E. L. Cowden Drives New • 1920 Apperson From Ind. E. U Cowden of the Keystone Bales Company, 103 Market street, haa re cently returned from a sis hundred and fifty mile trip, from Kokomo, Indiana. The trip was made In one ojf the new 1910 Standard model Apperson eight cylinder touring cars, the journey which included many hard, hilly roads, being made entirely in high gear. Mr. Cowden kept a careful record of mile age and gasoline consumption for the trip, the results showing that over six teen miles to the gallon of gas were made. The trip was made via Colum bus, Zanesville, Cambridge, Wheeling, Uniontown, Cumberland and Hagers town. Mr. Cowden left Kokomo at 10.30 Tuesday morning and arrived in Har risburg at 6.30 Saturday evening. Mr. Cowden, who has been so patiently waiting for these new models to come through their natural trip through the factory just couldn't wait until the cars took to the final checking station, but j "jes' went right in and took it from t the finishing department," as he didn't intend running the chance of someone else getting it at the delivery depart ment of this great factory, and when he did get it he lost no time in prepar ing to start for home. In speaking about 'his trip Mr. Cow den couldn't restrain himself in com plimenting the wonderful roadablllty of this new Apperson model, for he was positive in his statement that he never saw an automobile perform with so much grace, and ease in mounting the long stretches of mountain roadway, climbing grades on high that other cars take on second and accelerating from a low to a high speed without the slight est degree of hesitancy, than this new comer in motordom." "This trip has more firmly welded me to Apperson cars," continued Mr. Cowden, and want everybody to know that in pfesenting this car to the motoring public we do not fear tell ing whaj the Apperson can do—and we're cot afraid of proving it, for there has been a tendency on the part of salesmen for certain cars to tell people what beautiful lines a car had—and quit The Apperson way of selling a car is decidedly different—we deal in facts, for as Mr. Jarrard, vice-presi dent of the Apperson Bros. Automobile Company says—"Sell the Apperson on its acceleration in high of one to forty miles in twenty Tell about the Apperson emergency stop from forty miles an hour to a standstill in four seconds—forty yards. The foregoing are excerpts from a talk by Charles W. Nash, presi dent of the Nash Motors Company, to students of the University of Wis consin. "Honesty, loyalty and energy are the three necessary qualifications for success to-day," said Mr. Nash. "As to honesty, it may be hard at times to tell the truth, but I think there is little difference between deceit and a lie. "At the Nash factory in Kenosha we are a real family. Every man in the plant knows he can come to my office at any time and be greeted cordially. "Too many of us to-day measure success by the dollar sign. If I have to buy my way into any place but a show, I don't want to get there. Furthermore. I don't see any use in acquiring a great amount of wealth. You can only wear one suit of clothes at a time and eat only one meal at a time, anyway. If one makes a success of life, money is very likely to come. But as you go along through life, see that those who are working with you benefit by you. It is worth more to a man to be able to say he never did any thing dishonorable in his life than it is to have a lot of dollars behind him.

Himes, president of the United Garage Company, of Toledo, won an order for a Duplex four wheel drive truck from the Toledo Fire Department by demonstrating in a unique way. A large part of the fire apparatus is motorized, but Toledo's streets have not kept pace with the grow ing city and many of the back thoroughfares are unpaved. • This has resulted in various pieces of apparatus being Btalled in making runs to outlying districts. The fire chief discovered that the Duplex truck could always be de pended upon to negotiate these bad streets and not only get through itself but give aid to stranded trucks. He several times called on the United Garage Company to provide a Duplex to pull a hosecart or an engine out of the mud and sno\ and at last came to the conclusion that it would be both efficient and economical to have a Duplex in the department. The result was the purchase of an especially built service truck de signed and made by the Duplex Truck Company of Lansing, Mich. In addition to ample space for hose for use in an emergency, the truck carries equipment so that it can aid any piece of fire apparatus >vhich may get into trouble because of road conditions. During the spring season when the streets were bad, the United garage advertised in the local pa pers that the Duplex would pull out trucks that were stuck and they jvere frequently called. In every instance, according to Mr. Himes, the Duplex made good, and this has led to the sale of sev eral Duplex four-wheel drive trucks. * Atlantic Refining Co. Builds New Plant in Ga.
