LIGHT CAR PROVES
THE BEST FOR
MUDDY ROADS
Success of EMF As Glidden Tour
Pathfinder Teaches a Lesson
to the Prospective
Purchaser.
Triumph of the Car An Argument
for Type, Reasons Roy Pelletier,
Famous Expert,
BY e. lie ROY PELLETlER.

That sound logic and experience &C.
count for the preference of the west
tor light weight cars seems to have
been demonstrated by the perform
ance OF the EMF 80" Pathfinder
which Is laying out The route for the
1909 Glidden Tour. This car is a good
representative of that class OF cars
which have had such a vogue during
the past two or three years and which
may be described as having approx
mately 30-horse power and selling for
$500 or less. Cars OF this class vary
In weight, but the air OF each designer
Is 20 gain efficiency rather by tho
elimination OF unnecessary weight
than by increasing the SIZE of the
motor. Lightness in such car then
so long as II 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
"30' 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 Il does for the EMF go"
Dai Lewis, the offlcial I'm charge says
unequivocally, mo heavy cars could
possibly have gone through what this
car has, no matter II 1t had 100-horse
power In fact. every time a 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 IT, 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 Is absolutely
hopeless. At times the light one Ii
also, but the chances are all In favor
OF the lighter vehicle as has been re
peatedly shown In the Pathfnder's ex
periences.
In the great middle western market
cara selling for less than $4,000 have
the call and over eighty per cent oil
all the cars sold there range about the
$3.50 figure. There's reason and II
isn't lack of ability to buy or penuri
BUSINESS on the part OF buyers In that
sc elton. No more liberal spenders
are to be found anywhere. Farmers
In Iowa enjoy every luxury known tc
their city cousins. They know theil
road conditions. In the proper sense
OF the term there are no roads. They
are simply trails. In the wet season
no one thinks of hauling a load. Light
buggies have been used TO get about
at such times. Now light automobiles
are taking their place and the western
err has found they stand UP better or
his roads and have greater efficiency
there than cars OF higher price
though equipped with monster motors
