KEEPING AUTO IN ORDER.
Regular Looking Over Is Important
Factor in Economv.

Some cars are so noisy that the driver
never knows that there Is anything radi-
cally wrong until some characteristic rat
tie ceases to be. owing to the loose part
having severed its connections with the
car and dropped to the road. or until the
complaining parts actually break down
and interfere with the operation of the
car.
On the other hand, most cars. and I'm
fact almost every modern car, can for a
long time be kept so free from noise that
the slightest amount of lost motion may
be readily detected.
A car should be looked over regularly.
and especially after il has seen hard
service. in order to insure that all i'm
portant bolts and nuts are tight. that the
steering mechanism is in proper order.
that the hub caps on the wheels are on
tight, that the spring clip nuts holding
the springs to the axles are tight, etc.
Other important connections requiring
regular inspection are these: Transmits
sion case to frame: engine cylinders to
motor base: motor base to frame. Most
manufacturers secure their parts in the
best possible manner, but even those cars
which enjoy the best regulations for
standing up to hard service need inspec-
ton and the owner must attend to II or
see that II is attended 10 properly.
The old adage For the want Of a
nail the shoe was lost" etc. certainly
applies 10 motor cars.

REQ CARS FOR the COUNTRY
LESTER d. MOORE COMPANY
EXPECTS BIG SALE.
Rough Roads and Steep Hills Mean
Nothing to This Machine-Fa-
vorite of the Farmer

Great preparations are being made by
the Lester ID. Moore Company this year
for the sale of four-cylinder Reos. The
territory over which this company has
supervision is extensive. covering all OF
Maryland. including Baltimore, the Dis
trict of Columbia. Virginia and part OF
West Virginia. In the near future Mr..
Moore will make tour of this territory
to establish subagencies
One of the strongest features of the
REQ car Is its adaptability to hill climb
ing, which makes ii particularly useful
in the rural districts in this vicinity
Rough roads cause the REQ very little
trouble.
The two-cylinder REQ. which. like the
single-cylinder car. has made an enviable
reputation, will continue to be manufac-
tured this year. The four-cylinder car.
which has been added to the list of 1910
models, has been built with all the care
of which the REQ factory Is capable. OF
the 80 of these cars contracted for by
the Moore company fifty have already
been placed. II is safe to say that all of
these cars could have been sold in the
District and Baltimore. but Mr.. Moore
is holding back a number of them for
sale in the rural districts.

The road leading from the ferry is not

temporary repairs are being made and

During the winter new metal will be put
on the road and when spring arrives the
road Will be open for travel under i'm

The Packard.

Packard motor cars hereafter will be
sold in Philadelphia and surrounding ter
ritory by the Packard Motor Car Com
pany of Philadelphia, which has pur-
chased the business of the keystone
Motor Car Company. The business will
be conducted at the came store. the
splendid sales and service esta blishment
at 2l6 North Broad street.
This change was brought about by the
desire or Mr.. r.. II. GOdshalk to retire
from active business. Tine Packard Motor
Car Company, believing il to be the best
plan TO develop future trade In Philadel-
phia under its own direction. and thus in
sure the maintenance of the we'll known
Packard service for customers, formed
the Packard Motor Car Company Of Phila-
delphia. This company purchased the
Keystone company last week.
The selling plan thus brought about
means that Packard cars will be handled
in Philadelphia by local Packard COM
pany, just the same az they sold in
New York territory by the Packard Motor
Ger Company Of New York. Mr.. NJ. ]. Bud
long. who is president of the Packard
Motor Car Company OF New York, is also
president of the Packard Motor Car Com
pany OF Philadelphia. MFR. Budlong says
that every possible effort will he exerted
to keep the service for owners Of Packard
cars up to the we'll established Packard
standard.
Mr.. Godshalk, who retires from the
business on account OF this purchase, was
one of the earliest Packard dealers and
introduced the Packard to Philadelphia in
the season of 1904 All Philadelphians
are familiar with the steady growth OF
the keystone Motor Car Company and
the great popularity of Packard motor
cars i'm that territory.
The Luttrell company. of which s. 4.
Luttrell Is president, has the Washington
agency for the Packard. This firm has

utilization due to vibration. The tensile
strength of this steel is from -0UOO to
