PIERCE ARROW CARS
NOW BEING BUILT
Models for 1911 Are to Be
Noted for Almost Absolute
Silence.

The local agents for the Pierce-Arrow,
the Tom Botterill Automobile company,
have just received complete details OF
the 1911 models Of the Pierce-Arrow.
With scarcely noticeable cessation
In its manufacturing routine the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car company of Buffalo,
finished its shipment of 1910 cars in
June and began the turning out of Its
new models Following its policy of last
year the Pierce-Arrow company will
manufacture six-cylinder cars only. Six
ty-slx horsepower cars have been given
precedence in the order Of manufacture
of the various models, and a number
of these are already In the hands Of
owners. The 4S and SO horsepower mod
els will follow the larger cars in their
course through the factory.
Cut Out Noise.
The 48 horsepower car will have
motor with Az bore and 51a stroke,
the 36 horsepower will have motor OF
4-lnch bore and 5B-inch stroke. This
is another step towards absolute silence,
and without doubt the new Pierce mod
els will be noted for their noselessness.
On the large PierceAyrow model pre-
vious to the one now being mauufac
tured six different bodies were mounted.
On the new model there are eight. The
styles and their seating capacity are:
Runabout, 8; miniature touneau, 4; pro-
tected touring, 5; close coupled, 5; tour
ing car, Z; suburban, Z; landeau, z; tour.
ing landeau, l. The close coupled car
is comparative new conner in the
Pierce-Arrow fold, while the protected
touring car and touring landeau are new
the first model of the latter having been
shown at Madison Square Garden in
January. The protected touring car is
one with flush doors both front and rear
The wheelbase is comparatively short
for the power of the car and In effect
is modified type of the so-called "gun-
boat car which has sprung into popu-
larity abroad.
Mechanical Rehnements.
Mechanical refinements have been
many. Those on the motor, which has
a bore Of 4A inches and a stroke of
51a, are principally steps toward abso-
lutte noiselessness, while those of the
transmission aid in the quality of facil-
itating gear changes at very lew speeds.
clearance from the running boards OF
accessories. On one side of the car only
the spare tires are to be seen, and on
the other the battery box, which has
been enlarged sufficiently to carry small
supplies.
The standard equipment of its cars
by the Pierce Arrow company has al
ways been regarded as remarkably COM
plete. but for the new models it will be
even more comprehensive than before.
Cape tops and glass fronts are provided
on all models, and partial list of the
other stock equipment includes power
driven pump for tires, shock absorbers,
two PierceArrow designed head lamps,
electric or OIL side and rear lamps. an
electric lamp for illuminating the num-
Der. Presto Lite tank, carried in
special compartment, a gasoline priming
pump and fuel gauge on the dash, and
luggage rack In rear.
The new cars will commence to arrive
during August and the Botterill com
pany announces that it has already or
ders for over % per cent of it's 1911 al
lotment.
