1000 More Cars

Last seasons output of s3Os" was $500 cars, yet
we ran 800 cars short of orders. We were
obliged to refuse trade to the extent of 81 000
This year we have built new factory and our
1910 output of 30's' will be $500 Those 1000
extra cars will be made without adding dollar to
our fixed expense.
They will also be made with last years tools and
machinery. We have almost no new expense there.
For mechanically. the car is not altered at all. Ex
perience has shown US no way to improve it.
Thus we effect immense savings. And all of these
savings have gone into the car-to make it more
slightly more roomy, more like the costliest cars.

NEW LOZIER CARS
ARE MUCH REFINED
S. q. RayI Discusses Improve
ments in Popular Autos

s. G. Rayl, local agent for the Lozier
cars. stated yesterday that the Lozier
cars for 1910 would be but an evolution
of the 1909 type, with few more or
less important improvements included.
There will be three models built this
year-two six-cylinder models and a
four-cylinder.
From constructive point of view
one of the improvements made on the
new models is a new transmission box
made in one piece instead of being di-
vided into upper and lower halves, as
at present. Externally one of the big
gest changes in the Lozier is the adop-
tion of a square tube. honey comb type
radiator instead of the round tube of
former years. This change consider
ably alters the front view Of the car,
and greatly adds to ITS appearance.
The latest owners of Lozier cars are:
r. A Sbarboro, who has taken deliv-
cry of As horsepower four cy-
Under Briarcliff model; w. f. Freise, a
