AUTOMOBILE SECTION Aw jQi* AUTOMOBILE NEWS AND ADVERTISING SIBLE TO HANDLE CLEVELAND SIX New Machine Added to Line Carried .by Local Agency J. Sidney Sible, of 301 Cumber land street, has taken over the agency for the new Cleveland Six and will act as distributor for Dau phin, Cumberland and Perry coun ties. The Cleveland Automobile Company, manufacturers of the car, make the following claims for It: The Cleveland ( Six will bo wel comed by thousands of automobile buyers. It fills a place in the auto mobile field that is peculiarly its own. So marked is its individuality— so distinguished its character, so pronounced its ability, that it at once takes its place as an important factor in the motor car industry. This is logical, fqr it is designed and built by engineers and producers of the highest rank. No car has ever been built under more favorable auspices. No car was ever more thoroughly tested. Its merit is so apparent that, after seeing and riding in the Cleveland I Six, hundreds of the country's most responsible motor car distributors and dealers signed up contracts and made cash deposits without knowing the price of the car. They were pleased and delighted with the car and perfectly willing to trust the !| i ; | REPUBLIC trucks assure you of continued SERVICE.

Many had heard rumors of the car and were anxious for com | plete information. They will find | that the Cleveland Six far exceeds their most sanguine expectations in appearance and perforpiance. For with a body that instantly at tracts by its amazing charm and beauty, is a mechanical foundation ani a motor that speaks convincingly of dependability and a new inter pretation of motor car service. The deep frame, the strong axles, the resilient spring suspension, the high-grade transmission, the Timlsen bearings throughout, tell a story of all-round fitness that men seek. And the wonderful motor the heart of any motor car —reveals qoalities of flexibility, of power and of endurance that makes the first year program of 40,000 Cleveland Sixes seem all too meagre for the demand already so astonishingly evidenced. Positive character is dominant in this car. Strong sturdiness and un usual comfort and roominess are united with marked economy of operation. SEIZE RAIMCAIi PATERS New London, Conn., Nov.

WHY TEMPLAR IS SUCCESSFUL Enters the Field at a Most Op portune Time; Year Spent in Experimenting The automobile industry ranks third in importance in the industries of this country to-day. Yet it may properly be said to be only at the threshold of its development and growth. The world is just waking up to the importance of motor driven vehicles as a means to meeting the needs for quicker and more economical trans portation. The automobile to-day is every man's necessity. In the past, automobile manufacture has been a busifiess of experiment. Principles have had to be tried and methods tested. Naturally this has resulted in waste and loss of time, labor and materials. In the meantime much has been learned with regard to the types and kinds of motors, methods of manufacture and selling; the needs that must be met and the qual ity of materials which give the most pfficient service. Present-day manu facturers are profiting by the ex perience of those who have gone be fore. It was at this juncture that Temp lar Motors entered the field. The Templar motor and car is acknowl edged by experts as superior to any four-cylinder car previously built. It is the only strictly high class car of moderate size, weight and price. The demand for it is world-wide. In class and price it occupies a field practically alone. The company has been able to draw to itself the most highly skilled and trained engineers aftid me chanics who have had years of prac tical experience in this particular line of work with the largest and most successful automobile manu facturers. It thereby avoids the costs of having to train new men which in itself is a tremendous ad vantage. The company has ample capital. Its unique plan of organization brings to it the support and co operation of thousands of influential business men and women from all parts of this countp', thus automati cally creating a widespread demand for Templar car at the minimum of cost. In the meantime, the curtailment in car production due to the war has resulted In a serious car shortage. Factories will be unable to catch up with demands for several years to come. At the same time, needs and uses for automobiles have greatly Increased, not alone In this country, but a very general demand has sprung up in foreign countries for American built cars. Two Women, Alone, Tour 17,000 Miles in Cadillac Mrs. M. M. Yarborough and her daughter, Mrs. L. V. Cunningham, both of Dallas, Texas, have appar eiyiy set the record for woman mo torists. In the last two summers their travels have amounted to 17,- 000 miles, and they are planning a more extensive journey for next summer. ! In 193 8 they thoroughly covered ! the Southern and Eastern states, | traveling 12,000 miles in a Cadillac victoria. One set of tires sufficed for the entire tour. Starting at Dal ' las, they crossed the Southern states to Florida, then north to New York, to the White Mountains, across Can ada to the Great Lakes, and south again through the Mississippi Val ley. This year their tour was not so pretentious. From Dallas they crossed the southwest to Los An geles and return, a matter of 5,000 miles. On both trips they traveled alone, doing all the driving, and depending on men only for occasional inspec tions of the car. The Cadillac used on these journeys traveled a total distance of more than 100,000 miles. Both women are strong advocates of closed cars for touring. The many conveniences, and the protection from inclement weather, offer strong inducements to the woman motorist.

(■•h I and Brumv, Proprs. 310 Strawberry St. HAJRRISBURO TEI.BGR.AJMS EXACTING TESTS MADE FOR NEW OVERLAND 4 Overland Co. Made Tests For Two Years Before Putting New 4 on Market The testing of motor cars, like the buildiug of motor cars, has under gone marked advancement during the last few years. New standards have been created and new mechan ical testing devices have been per fected to keep pace with the devel opment of the automobile itself. It remained for the Willys Over land Company, however, to supply the supreme test to its latest model, Overland 4, which has just been an nounced. This test, it is believed, has established new standards of testing and refinement of details to make a car practically perfect me chanically before it goes to an owner. I The history of the development, building and testing of Overland 4, which introduces the new * three point spring suspension, covers a period of years. The car is the product of a decade of progressive engineering achievement toward the ideal light-weight car; of a year's intensive engineering experiment and two years' actual demonstration and I test in all kinds of weather and all sorts of roads. During the two years of test Over land 4 was given 250,000 miles of actual road demonstration. That's ten times around the world before a single car went on the market. These tests were of great value to the engineering and the production departments of the Willys Overland Company and, finally, to the man who buys the car. A staff of engi neers studied the car during those 250,000 miles of test to determine every refinement and improvement that might be necessary to make the car when it went on the market free from service troubles and of as sured economy in operation and per fect ease of riding because of the new three-point springs. The value of 250,000 miles of ex haustive testing may further be judged from the comparison with the usual custom of sending a new car into the market after it has been pounded on roads in some 25,000 to 75,000 miles of demonstration. The Overland 4, it is said, is the first car that has gone on the market with a pedigree of perfect produc tion after two years of constant testing. The section of the country picked for these tests was in nature's lab oratory of the Southwest—Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. There nature seems unfinished, a rough, rock-strewn, tortured country. It was there that the engineers decided that the new three-point suspension springs could be given a supreme test of the unexcelled ease of riding which they have now introduced. Accordingly', *a fleet of Overland 4s were sent into this section. A staff of engineers accompanied the cars to watch every hour of per formance. In Colorado the cars were set to work scaling mountain sides, twisting and turning around the hairpin turns of the precipitous cliff and mountain sides and rolling over the boulder-strewn roads. There was p'enty of mud—seas of it, thick and sticky as glue, hub and run ning board deep. In New Mexico there were great stretches of deep, shifting sand, which threaten to rack and twist the frames of ordinary motor cars. In Arizona there were great stretches of plain, innumer able river streams to ford, worse mud than ever before and stretches of road that were so rough and tor tuous that they resembled saw-tooth blades of scraggy, sharp rocks. No better testing ground can be foiihd than in the Rocky Mountains. Over these roads Overland 4 was pushed to the utmost. Days were i spent in mud, in streams, twisting through rocky defiles, scaling boul-| der-sprinkled hill and mountain I sides. The drivers were amazed night after night with their freedom from fatigue because of the easy riding of the cars due to the won derful three-point spring suspension. The cars were found in perfect me chanical condition after each ex amination by the engineers. The three-point springs had saved the cars, had given a new ease and com fort to the drivers; the balanced light construction had conquered the worst of the roads; the power of the car itself had pulled it out of road situa tions in which horses were found helplessly mired and dozens of auto mobiles were passed, sunk deep and immovable. While these tests were going on other tests were being made in the country within a radius of 300 miles of the factory. The new three-point suspension springs had done everything the en gineers had hoped for in saving the car and introducing an almost un canny ease of driving; the ajl-steel construction of the car gave it a ruggedness unusual in any light car. It was in these tests that the Willys Overland Company developed the phrase which describes Overland 4, because of its three-point springs, as the most important improvement in motor car construction since pneu matic tires.

WOMEN DICTATE CAR PURCHASES Can Make Repairs as Good as Hubby, Says an Auto Manufacturer "Woman is rapidly coming to the front In the purchasing of motor cars, and it is literally true that comparatively few motor car sales are now made in which a woman does not have a considerable amount of influence," says E. T. Strong, gen oral sales manager of the Buick Mo tor Company. This fact was recognized some years ago, as veteran motor car deal ers know, but at that time woman's Interest In cars seemed to be cen tered chiefly in the closed models. And when she did express her opinion concerning one o* the open models, it was usually along the lines of appearance, finish and re finements. For this reason there was a gen eral impression in the industry that women were inclined to take the mechanical features of a motor car for granted, and the first tnove of the salesman was to land the wo man buyer into the tonneau, invite her to be seated and call her atten-' tion to the comfort, roominess and J luxury there. But since that time women have learned to drive—not merely a few here and there, but in great num bers. A great many women have Buick cars for their own exclusive use. Others share a car with one or more other members of the fam ily. And as a result of their driving, women have been drawn more inti mately in touch with the mysterious forces and mechanism that give life and action to the motor car, and to day their interest in the mechanical side of the automobile is great. True, women are still very much taken jip with beauty, convenience and comfort. For that matter, so are the male motorists. These are features that the motor car pur chaser of to-day has a right to ex-- pect, particularly among the better makes of cars. But the salesman can no longer expect to sell a motor car to a woman driver without first ! satisfying her as to the performance and operation of the various mechan- I ical units. The change is logical when it is analyzed. For, after all, the woman driver in many cases has had suf ficient experience to know that mo toring enjoyment depends to a great extent upon the right kind of me chanical equipment, and she also knows that Buick design and manu facture have a great deal to do with maintenance cost. Gasoline being the biggest indl- v idual item of expense, the woman has been led to inquire why it is that Buick cars give big gasoline mileage, while others of about the same size and weight simply devour i i. she has found the answer in the design and construction of the most important mechanism of all— tiie Buick valve-in-head motor. Continued Control of Food and Fuel Urged by Attorney General Washington, Nov. 8. The need for government control over coal, food, clothing and other necessities of life is greater now than during the war, Attorney General Mitchell Palmer yesterday told the House agriculture committee in asking for an extension of the I,ever food and fuel control law to prevent profiteer ing and hoarding. He declared the high cost of living is apt to go still higher unless the government keeps a tight rein on the situation for six months or a year. Particularlv nec essary is the work f the fuel ad ministration at this time. LICENSE TAGS ALL GONE Gettysburg, Pa., Nov.
