TWO CYCLE CAR IS
FULLY EXPLAINED
A. j. Smith, Coast Agent of FL
more, Receives Consignment
of Explanatory Catalogues

The Elmore manufacturing company
of clyde, O., the builders of the Ell
more two cycle car, car that has no
valves, has issued its 1910 catalogue.
A. j. Smith, coast agent for the cars,
has received a number of these new
catalogues. It is the most comprehen-
sive work ever issued by the company,
and most practically explains the
workings of the Elmore two cycle en-
gine. Smith, in speaking of this cata-
logue. said yesterday:
Few of the experts in the automo-
bile business let alone the general
public, can comprehensively explain the
two cycle engine. For that reason many
of them have condemned it. The fact
that it stands alone among gasoline
cars seems sufficient to prove to them
that the two cycle construction is not
right without giving it an investiga-
ton.
This opinion has been expressed at
times through the ignorance of the true
scientific principles of the two cycle en-
gine. And l hope that they, as well as
the public, will obtain one of these
most explanatory catalogues, so that
they will fully appreciate the many
superior points of construction
