York in thirty-hve hours through sue
cession Of rain and snowstorms and sea
of mud. And this is but one among
many Of the surprising feats of endur-
ance which this car has recently per-
formed.
This model ''SS." as well as models 40
and al" is equipped with the we'll
known Overland planetary transmission,
operated by pedal control.
Combining all the qualities of a car
that sells for a much higher price. the
1910 four-cylinder REQ car can be classed
among the best popular-price machines in
the country. Lester d. Moore tr.. local
representative, is displaying full line OF
the very latest types.
The car embraces everything the motor
list really wants, unless it is a big, heavy
car which also incheases the expense
bius This car has attracted universal
attention by its quiet, smoOth-running
powerful qualities, and by its ability to
dc everything the larger cars do, except
attain remarkable speed
This does not necessarily imply that
the 1910 four-cylinder REQ cannot do its
share Of speeding. Fifty miles an hour
has been done In this same model car.
It costs very little TO keep the REQ car
in repair. and the motoring public has
shown its satisfaction with the car by
the way in which the sales have increased
/ from year to year
The Elmore car, the agency for which
in this city Is held by John Z. Myers, Of
the Vermont Garage. is exhibiting a full
line of cars, and also a running polished
chassis. The exhibit includes the model
30" seven passenger touring car, the
model 80 demi-tonneau.
The famous valveless car has taken a
giants step forward in its 1910 product by
producing a larger model than ever be-
fore, an evidence that this unusual type
of engine is more than holding the con-
fidence of the misunderstanding public.
Simplicity is the watchwoTd of the makers
Of this car, and freedom from repairs is
one of their chief claims. It IS claimed
that any 1910 Elmore ear win take a to
is per cent grade at thirty-five 70 forty
miles per hour, and a 10 to IS per cent
grade ar tWenty-thTee TO tWenty-siX miles
an hour. with its full quota Of passen-
gers. Racing cars could even do better
the makers declare They, however, DO
not lay claim to a racing record. but only
cite the remarkable performance of their
car in the run from Boston and return.
which It won. as an example of the en-
durance Of the valveless two-cycle engine.
Nothing at this show is attracting more
attention than the wee HupmObile, sold
in this city by the Wilson company.
The workmanship and the quality OF
the parts are that of a machine costing
several thousand dollars. but the Hupmo-
bile finds Il consistent to sell their cars
at $50 because they are smaller in size
But il must be understood that they
are fully equipped and present as i'm
posing appearance as the biggest and
costliest machine on the road Fifty miles
an hour Is no ordinary speed for the
Hupmobile to attain. and II will climb any
hill that the biggest car can negotiate.
