BIG IMPROVEMENT SEEN
IN COMMERCIAL AUTOS
Success or Failure of This Type of
Car Depends on Reliability
and Economy

To the general public the gasoline
commercial cars of today are pretty
much the same as last year, but there
is a vast improvement in details that
can be observed easily by close obser-
walton.
on the details depends to so great a
degree the success or failure of a car
from a standpoint of reliability and
economy. Up to year or so the COM
mercial car was not much of a sue
cess.
Chief among the faults of the COM
mercial car that has hindered its prog
gress has been inaccessibility of parts.
The best engineers have contended that
the first thing to be considered in de-
signing a truck was to so attach the
different vital parts to one another that
within a few minutes any part could
be taken away without disrupting any
other part, and that until THE was done
without sacrificing strength or adding
weight the design was not correct. For
example, suppose in the past q bear
ing i'll the transmission went wrong
from some cause, probably not alto
gether the fault of the car This bear
ing in itself might be very inexpensive
but after the car had been taken all to
pieces, the bearing fixed and the car
put together again, the repair bill pre-
sented to the owner of the truck, to
say nothing of the time lost, made him
skeptica1 of the economy of motor wag-
ons over horses. If this bearing could
have been gotten at quickly and fixed
1t would have been another story. An
other thing which tended to give the
motor truck a black eye was that en-
gine bearings, and in fact bearings all
over the car, We're too small to with
stand the hard wear, tremendous
strains and shocks to which they were
subjected, and the result was short
life

WHITE CAR FOR
PRACTICAL USE
H. D. RYUS DISCUSSES GAS0-
LINE MODEL
1T is ALMOST AS NoISELEsS AS
STEAM
While 1t Is Not Intended for Unusual
Trials, the Highest Standard
of Car Construction Has
Been Attained

The White gasoline car is one or the
neatest looking cars that have ever
come out west, and has without ques-
tion the smoothest and quietest run
ming motor OF any car this season. 1t
is almost as noiseless as the White
steamer, and this is because of the fact
that the cylinders are cast in block,
which not only maintains the align
ment, but affords large water space
surrounding all of the cylinders and
valves, and prevents any of the normal
noises of even the best possible con-
struction from getting outside of the
motor itself and reaching the car.
Discussing the White gasoline car
yesterday, Capt. Fl. D. Ryus, manager
of the Pacific Motor Car and Aviation
company, agents for the White motor
cars, stated: 1.-THE White gasoline car
is rated at twenty horsepower (foreign
rating), but is not racing car. 1t is
not overpowered and not a car with
which to do stunts. The car has, how
ever, an abundance of power to do any
thing except to do racing stunts and
put the car in the repair shop.
Up to High Standard =
'It is not the largest amount to look
at on the market for the money. It
does not have more VarniSh than any
other car. 1t is simply up to the high
est standard of construction abroad,
which no other American car at this
time is. 1t is a copy of the best French
car built for every day, stand up use.
"As an illustration-the bearings on
it, the crank shaft, etc, besides being
made of the finest material are as
strong and have as large wearing sur
faces as any American car with three
times our rated horsepower
''It is as economical in fuel consump-
tion and upkeep as any foreign car, and
considerably ahead of any American
car, at any price.
I'm smooth running, perfect control,
easy riding and general comfort it is
the very next thing to the White steam
er, which all unprejudiced authorities
conceded to excel in all of these quali-
ties.
''It lists at $4,000. The car. of which
this is copy, lists at $4,000 in France.
We can sell it at this price because the
surplus production adds nothing to our
factory management, overhead eX-
penses, selling expenses or advertising.
"It is built to sell strictly on quality
and not on price, and we think those
contemplating the purchase of a car
irving to see who can make the cheap
est car would do we'll to pay the differ
ence and get a White, and we do not
believe any man need pay more than
the price of a White to get the best
quality.
1--WE think most of those considering
the purchase of a higher priced car
would do we'll to examine the White,
because we think it preferable to any
car built to carry five passengers at
any price"

INVENTS SPEEDOMETER
FOR USE ON AIRSHIPS

A speedometer for aeroplanes is the
latest invention of A. P. Warner of
the Warner Instrument company. The
new device, according to advices re-
ceived by w. F. Halliwell, jr., man
ager of the Warner branch in this
city, is placed on the frame of the
aeroplane toward the front, where it
will be constantly exposed to the rush
of air as the aeroplane shoots forward.
The revolutions that record the speed
are secured by means of cups that
catch the air and revolve according to
the pressure upon them. The device is
along the same lines as that used by
the United States weather bureau in
determining the velocity of the wind.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-16

small delivery wagon to be used for
small packages to the heaviest trucks
capable of carrying three tons.
This section of the exhibit will prove
of interest not only to the business
man, but to the general public which
is always interested in the development
of the automobile industry, and no
branch of this industry has taken
greater strides during the past few
years than this commercial truck
business.
Another interesting feature will be
the many different models of electrics.
These will be shown from the smallest
runabout to the most elaborate coupe.
Much interest is certain to be shown
in the display of Fiat cars. This Is
the Italian machine which has made
such a cleanup on track and road
during the past few years. No car
has done greater things the world over
than the Fiat, and a complete display
of these models cannot but interest
a large majority of the thousands who
visit the show.
The 1910 Columbus cars will be seen
for the first time at this show. A
special shipment is on the way. Among
these will be the torpedo body roadster,
one of the real novelties of the year in
the east.
Manager Hempel announces that he
has all but few small spaces sold.
The space in the southwest corner
which was used for accessories at the
first show will be used for the same
purpose next month.
L. II. Johnson announces that he
has a shipment of Nationals on the
way to be exhibited at the show. The
Ford coupe will be another novelty
seen for the first time.

PLAN FOR AUTO
SHOW COMPLETE
ELABORATE LIGHT SCHEME TO
ENHANCE EXHIBIT
MANY LATE MODEL CARS WILL
HAVE SPACE
Forty=Eight Agents Signify Intention
of Exhibiting More Than 100
Late Models of Manu-
facturers' Art

The decorative scheme for the 1910
automobile show to be held in the
Grand Avenue rink, February 6 to 10,
has been decided upon, and all plans
for beautifying the large auditorium
viii be completed this week.
Like a canopy over the entire ex-
hibit will be the roof of vari-colored
electric lights, which will reflect their
brilliancy in the highly polished sur
face of the exhibition cars. There will
be $500 sixteen -candlepower lights
used, and the display should be the
most elaborate ever seen in Los An
geles.
The decorators are busy planning
Just how the lights will be strung to
give the best effect. They will probably
fall from a center to the four sides.
%These lights will be mostly purple
and white When the crowds gather
for the opening the immense building
will be lighted only by side lights. The
exhibits will loom UP in a subdued
glow. Then at a word from Mayor
Alexander who will be asked to make
Ahe opening address, the lights will
flash up, and with burst the auto
show will be on.
The idea of a canopy will be carried
out throughout the show. At the juno
tion of all aisles there will be an over
y
and this will lend to the general beau
ty of the show.
Must Adopt Rules
The show committee, composed of
Chairman w. K. Cowap, Volney
Beardsley and L. H. J6-tSen, will
hold many meetings this Wee% Among
the important matters to be decided
upon will be the adoption of rules to
govern the installation of exhibits and
the general governing of the show.
Manager Walter Hempel announced
last night there would be forty eight
exhibitors of licensed, independent
and foreign automobiles, and a full
line of trucks and electrics. These
will represent over 100 different models
and will result in one of the most
complete and interesting of automobile
shows.
one of the big features of this show
will be the many new cars which will
he shown. Any number of machines
which have never been seen in the
west will make their debut at this
display Many Of these cars will not
reach here until a day or so before the
opening of the show and there will be
great desire to see these new models
from the big eastern factories. F.
The exhibit of commercial trucks
will be one of the attractions for the
business man. There is hardly a big
business house in Los Angeles which
has any delivery or carting work to
do which is not figuring on line of
trucks, and this will be a good oppor-
tunity to look over the different lines
and decide on the most serViceable.
There will be every type from the
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-16
BIG EXHIBIT OF MlTcHELLs

The Greer Robbins company will
have one of the largest exhibits in the
licensed auto show. All models of the
Mitchell will be shown. There will be
three models of the thirty runabout,
two models of the thirty touring car
and two models of the big six. This
win be one of the most complete ex-
hibits.
