You may have been told ||i Sjj that it is economy to buy a cheap car. But you can clearly see that the first price is not~the real cost of |||i PI any automobile. A cheap car like most other cheap things—is pretty expensive in the long run. After 11 |1 all, its really the monthly price you pay—the upkeep cost for service—that tells whether your car is eco- S J nomical or not. Now, upkeep cost depends upon three things—gasoline cost, oil cost and repair cost. I I Let s face these facts frankly and figure out in which of these three there is chance for the greatest economy. j 1 The Big Saving Isn't in Gasoline j, I There are othe* - "Light Sixes' as sparing of gas- 11 I ji 1 \TIJW I °** ne as a l mers - We admit this frankly. ill IKI I j j But then—the most you could possibly save in fillj ll J am L gasoline wouldn't amount to much.

KEYSTONE MOTOR COMPANY j ROCKING AUTO MOTORS IN | CRADLES LATEST FEATURE; ; Combination of Truck and Stand : Equipped for Most Efficient and 1 | Accurate Assembling Is N«w Devel ! opment in the Chalmers Rocking automobile motors in "era ! idles'' is one of the latest develop-! ments in the manufacture of motor cars ! !according to the Keystone Motor Car | j Company, thie local Chalmers , dealers. I ! Black-faced Titans of the shops arc the > nursfe-bova who rock these extraordd- ' nai*y "cradles" as Chalmers motors arc i j soothed and nursed into mechanical ! prodigies. The cra'dle is a combination otf truck | and stand equipped for the most ef ! ficient and accurate assembling. The old way was to put together certain I parts,, on stand, then move thia_assem | oly of parts to a truck and carry it ! on to the scene of the.next operation. | During the progress of the motor to ' ward completion it had to bo put 011 i the stand aud taken off repeatedly, j then placed on trucks and carted ! around laboriously, while the nuvhan i ics went through all sorts of contor tions to reach the parts upon which they wanted to work. All this has been changed in the \ great Chalmers factory iti Detroit sine the production engineers devised the "motor cradle." I A casting is placed* in the "motor "cradle" at one end of the immense assembling room and from that time lon it is not removed uutil the eonvev- I I auee is wheeled out of the other end of the room bearing a completely assem- I bled motor. j The "cradle" is a tru>'k on stilts, i with a top which permits the motor to bi? swung to any angle, even upside idown, and locked there so that any | part o>f the engine upon which the me j chnuic wishes to work is easily and \ instantly accessible without straining or bending. Sueh work, requiring us it does the greatest accuracy and care, van in way bo done under the most I favorable condition*. Every motor, as it 'begins to Kfttlicr j within itself its appointed pistons, valves, and earn shafts, travels uloug from mau to man with never u back track. When it has run its course every working part has "been fitted into i place by a specialist and each specialist has worked on the motor to the very ! best advantage. Chalmers motors are inspected at [ every stage of manufacture and when 'complete receive soveral tests, the last of which is given by a battery of dyua i moineters often referred to as the: j''Chalmers $100,0()0 llill" because it I i has replaced the former hill test.— j j Ad'V. * GREAT CROWDS HEAR THE VIC-' i TORIA'S NEW PIPE ORGAN That people always appreciate the j best in music is attested' by the fact that the Victoria Theatre has been j crowded the past two nights.

Jeffery Company From Furni ture Dealers Indicate a General Revival of Business A sure sign of prosperity is the tre mendous demand for motor truck* among furniture dealers, according to the Thomas B. Jeffery Compnuiy. Most of tho orders received up to date are for the 1 1-2 ton model, and April de liveries are being specified. The fur niture trade is a certain 'barometer of general business. One furniture dealer in Waukagan, 111., has ordered a 1 1-2 ton Jeffery truck with a removable nest of scats which he will use on Sunday for pic nic purposes. He has already received assurances of enough Sunday outiings to pay for his truck investment during the first season. The seats carry twenty passengers. There will be « shortage of the bet ter class of motor trucks ill this coun try, if the foreign demand for power wagons keeps up. Although it lias al ready exported *2,000,000 worth of j motor trucks since the war bfltgan, the Thomas H. Jeffery Company has un filled orders for no less than 1,150 trucks for delivery all over the world. Over one-half of these are light deliv ery vehicles, and the otners are 1 1-2- j ton trucks and famous Jeffery Quuds, which drive, brake and steer on j all four wheels. On certain models the I output of the Jeffery factory is corn-' pletely sold i'or ten weeks ahead. Brewers who formerly used four and six-horse teams on their longer country hauls are now turning to the Jeffery Quad, which pulls a capacity load over roads that are impassible to | rear-drive trucks. Among sales of Quads reported in cue week were brew ers in Illinois, Texas and California. The Jeffery Quad drives, brakes and steers on all four wheels, and has been adopted by the l\ S. army and fivo foreign governments because of its re markable tractive power oil jioor road* and steep hills.—Adv.*
