burg Publicity Run to Philadelphia and
the Jersey Coast, was the first car to

the entire distance with perfect scores
at every control. Mr. Morganthaler
used 38 gallons of gasoline and one
quart of oil. The distance covered was

his car and skill as a motorist. —Adv.*

USE NEW KIND OF BIBLE IN
THE BIG CHALIfIERS FACTORY
Ross Morton, of This City, Sees Great
Book While Going Through Plant
of Automobile Company and Places
Order for Cars
"I heard of a new kind of bible the
other day," said Ross Morton of Key
stone Motor Car Company, the local
Chalmers dealers. "I was going through
a big automobile factory and every once
in while I heard a foreman say, 'what
does the bible say about that!'
"f)f course my curiosity became
aroused after a while and I asked the
official who was with me what all this
talk about the 'bible' was. He smiled
and took me over to a great big book,
one of the biggest and fattest that I
ever saw outside of a museum.
"It was the- shop 'bible' or instruc
tion book on automobile building from
A to Z and in all uiv career as an
automobile exeprt I must say that I
never saw anything like it anywhere.
Every operation was detailed down to
the minutest point. And after a de
scription of each operation was the one
word—'inspect.' And that word 'in
spect' appeared thousands of times.
"I never saw such inspection any
where. We are accustomed to look on
inspection as a once-in-a-while necessity
but in this plant were enough inspectors
to man an ordinary factory. And they
were right on the job with microscopes
and delicate measuring instruments to
make sure that every piece was just
like its mate."
The factory in question is the
Chalmers Motor Company. Mr. Morton
has just placed another order for
Chalmers ears and expects to receive
them early next week.—Adv.*

HARRY FELDSTERN
Harry Feldstern, of the Excelsior
Cycle Company of Harrisburg, says:
"In buying a motorcycle it is well
for the purchaser to know what sort of
an establishment is behind t'he ma
chine. Only a satisfactory product can
have an established growth and the
remarkable development of the Excel
i sior motorcycle business is one of the
greatest proofs of the serviceability of
our machines. Beginning with a small
output in the latter part of 1907, the
demand for Excelsior autocycles has
grown so great that the company was
last year compelled to put up an en
tirely new plant at Chicago, 111.
"This building is of reinforced con
crete throughout, six stories high with a
frontage-of 600 feet and a depth of
123 feet. This enormous building is
used for the production of Excelsior
autocycles only, and is equipped
throughout with the most modem ma
chinery for the economical production
of the various parts of our motorcycle.
"To provide power for both heating
and ventilating plants and the great
volume of machinery required, a sep
arate power plant, 100x50 feet, and
two stories in height is located within
a short distance of the main building,
access to which is by a tunnel, under
a private railroad track running to the
shipping and receiving rooms in the
main building."—Adv.*

Close of April Marked Finish of Big
gest Month the Company

The close of the month of April
marked the finish of the biggest month
so far as shipments were concerned that !
the Saxon Motor Company has ever
had. This month showed an increase of j
30 per cent, over the same period of j
last year.
Coincident with the announcement '
of this record it is made known that
the production for the month of May j
will be still larger than April, the •
schedule output calling for nt least }
3,000 cars.
This unprecedented output is due to I
the tlood of orders that have come into
the big Detroit factory of the Saxon
Company. On one day 26.9 orders for 1
earlier, possible delivery were received.]
According to the present factory j
schedule the Saxon Company is pro- i
ducing nil average of 125 cars per day j
and is increasing this number right |
along. At the present rate it is ahead
of its schedule, which calls for a don- !
ble output of the roadster model, with !
a total of 25,000 sixes ami roadsters j

RIVERSIDE AUTO CO.
UNUSUAL KBCOUO
Visiting motorists often express
surprise at the asphalt roadway on
the Market street bridge. Of course
asphalt is the ideal surface for any
bridge, although it is much more ox
pensive than aiiy other roadway as to
iirst cost. But the expense is not the
reason that few bridges have asphalt.
It requires a very strong bridge to car
ry such a roadway, which is laid on
plates supported by steel joists, and is
calculated to last as long as the
bridge.
lu this connection it is interesting
to note that the Market street bridge
has never been closed for repairs in the
last ten years, except for the paving
of the island roadway, which was fin
ished in eight and one-half working
days. And last month, the whole road
way was put in excellent condition in
two ami one-half days, without in
terfering with traffic.—Adv.
