HERALD'S REVIEW
OF 1910 MODELS

No other exhibit At the show is more
brilliant than the Carter Motor Car Cor
poration's display of six Of the latest
models This car is made in Hyattsville
and IS a local product. The Carter peo-
pie not only guarantee their machines
against defects Of material and workman
ship. but agree 10 replace any detected
parts within FIVE years from date Of pur-
chase
The Washington car for 1910 IS the de-
veIopment and refinement Of the pre-
ceding model. The principle is unchang-
ed The manufacturing Of Washington
cars has reached a stage where the entire
organization IS concentrated on refine
ment and betterment Of detail, or making
some Improvement for the comfort OF the
user. and all with the end in view of
continuing to make the Washington car
mechanical perfection. Dependability
has always been their aim, and the in
diyidual Endorsements Of the Washington
car which are on file at the Carter Offices
prove that Washington car owners are
more than satisfied.
CA4tu lllli'it FtilleifNS HS heavier front
axle and large brakes, to insure absolute
safety, have been made; also 34x4 tires,
3-+scroll elliptic springs. and longer
wheel base has been added for the easy
riding and comfort Of the user. To meet
the demand of the public. new model
has been added 10 the 1910 line, making
the models for the ensuing year a four
cylinder car of 80 horsepower. selling at
81, $50 and a four-cylinder IS horsepower
selling at $3.50, both fully equipped All
parts being the same except the sizes
and strength, are in proportion as the
power is in proportion 10 the regular 49,
horsepower model. Each model is built
along the same lines as the regular 40;
model, which has met with such great
success.
The motors are fOur-cylinder, four-cycle
the 35-horsepower has a bore Of four and
one-fourth inches and a stroke of fou
and one-half inches, and the 45-horse.

1T is interesting 10 learn some OF the
reasons visitors give for buying or not
buying a certain car" remarked Jack
Sperry. OF the Motor Car Company. at
the show last night When an engineer
designs a car he has certain points IN
mind on which he puts particular atten-
ton, because he knows that from the
users standpoint they mean much II IS
sometimes a shock to the engineer to
find that the points he had in mind do not
impress the public as much as some less
important
The elderly lady with a Iorgn4tte who
looked over a chassis, and would not buy
It because it was not chain driver be-
cause, as she said. the cars slip around
on the streets so badly If they did not
have chains. and a younger lady. who
said she would not buy a car until she
found one with a thin Alice blue stripe
on it. are typical of many others who
buy, or refuse to buy, because Of purely
personal whins.
Il have often been asked 10 name the
particular point that q buyer should have
in mind when he looks for q car. The
first things TO consider are the elements
Of safety. There are four main elements
Of safety in cara strong frame. staneh
wheels. properly fastened TO the axIes;
big, well-designed steering connections Of
the very best materials, and big brakes.
The intending purchaser should examine
most infinitely into these points of the
car he. is considering. The buyer should
next look for the features that mean COM
fort. See If the frame is properly made
and anchored. examine the springs and
size Of the wheels the roominess Of the
seats, and the position of the steering
wheel. gear shift. and brake levers and
the accessibility of all parts.
The motor should be examined separ-
ately and very carefully. There is never
any real satisfaction in motoring unless
your motor will give you all the power
YOU want, and give It all the time Ex-
anime the lubricating system. the cooling
system, and the ignition system Of the
motor. Insist on thorough test of the
motor before you buy-a test that VIII
show its fiexibility, its speed. and its pull
ing power OF course, with these i'm
portant mechanical features. Won will
want beauty Of line and finish but these
are more strictly matters of personal
taste than the mechanical features. which
are vital to your safety and your COM
fort"
