Success Of EMF As Glidden Tour
Pathfinder Teaches a Lesson
to the Prospective
Purchaser.
Triumph of the Car An Argument
for a Type, Reasons Roy Pelletier,
Famous Expert.
BY e. Le ROY PELLETiER.

That sound logic and experience ac-
count for the preference of the west
for hight weight cars seems To have
been demonstrated by the perform
rnce OF the EMF 80" Pathfinder
which is laying out the route for the
1909 Glidden Tour. This car Is a good
preventative OF that class OF cars
which have had such vogue during
the past two or three years and which
may be described as having approx
mately 30-horse power and selling for
81 500 or less. Cars OF this class vary
IL weight, but the air OF each designer
is To gain efficiency rather by the
elimination OF unnecessary weight
than BY increasing the SIZE OF the
motor. ightness In such a car then
SO long as IL does not exceed the
limits OF safety or good engineering
practice Is strong talking point
Makers OF this class OF car are jubilant
over the performance OF the EMF
$50 and trade jealousies are for the
moment almost forgotten In apprecia-
ton OF this performance which proves
almost as much for other cars OF its
class as II does for the EMF 80"
Dai Lewis. the official I'm charge says
unequivocally. mo heavy cars could
possibly have gone through what this
car has, no matter II II had 100-horse
power. In fact. every time high pow
cred car has come To meet us and, as
they thought. TO help US over bad
roads, they have gotten mi-ed and We
found ourselves compelled TO help
them out OF places the lighter car
negotiated with comparative ease.
It's a simple matter when you con-
slider 1t. Two tons weight resting on
four points will sink much deeper
than half that weight resting on the
same supports. A difference OF an
inch In width OF tires cannot make up
for the extra weight. In the soft clay
of Wisconsin, or the Gumbo roads OF
Iowa, saturated with the heavy spring
rains, the heavier car IL absolutely
hopeless. At times the light one Is
also, but the chances are all in favor
OF the lighter vehicle as has been re-
peatedly shown In the Pathfinder's ex
periences.
In the great middle western market
cars selling for less than $4,000 have
the call and over eighty per cent OF
all the cars sold there range about the
$3.50 figure. There's a reason and 4

OF the term there are no roads. They

no one thinks OF hauling load. Light
