LONG STROKE ADVANTAGE
CALLS FOR DISCUSSION
Relative Advantages of Various Types
Set Forth, with Brief Tech

with the introduction this year of
several long stroke motorcycles, the
question Of the relative advantages of

discussion. The points it involves are
numerous and more or less complicated
by theory But the plainest argu-
ments for and against it arc relatively

To an increasing extent in the auto

As is well known, tho piston speed
is limited by the necessity of securing
proper fabrication, as we'll as by prac-
teal conditions relating to the proper

this speed is pretty nearly attained
under ordinary running conditions.
Therefore, to increase the stroke

AUTO PASSES BEYOND
FIELD OF RECREATION
PLEASURE CARS USED FOR
BUSINESS
Chicago Manufacturing Concern Makes
Use of Nineteen Machines
Solely for CONNER
cial Purposes

That the practicability of the auto
mobile extends beyond the field of
mere recreation and adds much to the
efficiency of men engaged in businesses
where time is an asset, is proved by
the number Of pleasure cars constant
ly in use among business houses, con-
tractors and physicians. Some political
economists have said that the motor
car has no economic value.
Yet statistics show that what is true
of the commercial vehicle in heavy
work is equally true of the pleasure
car when adapted to business. one
automobile can accomplish more than
three horses and buggies. More firms
are each day coming to realize this
fact and i'm nearly every city one
finds the leading manufacturers and
merchants using motor cars for max
ing collectors, entertaining customers
and attending to details of general
business. The physician who is with
out a car is now considered behind the
times.
Chicago furnishes a striking instance
of the growing use Of the automobile
in the business field. The Crane COM
paDy. one of the largest manufacturing
concerns in the country, uses nineteen
autos regularly in its business.
Big corporations do not spend their
money for pure Injuries. They have
found the automobile necessary in
their business, chiefly because it adds
so greatly to the efficiency of the man
using it, All of these firms are unan-
imous in their praise of the automobile
in business.
I'VE could not do without our autos.
now that we have become used to
them, says G. A. Olson, general super
intendent of the Crane company. In
the entertainment of customers and
for general business usage the auto
mobile more than doubles tho efficiency
&C a man. our nineteen cars are con-
stantIv busy and have been satisfac-
tory in every respect

SPEAKER CANNON LAUDS
STUDEBAKER AUTOMOBILE

JOSEF O. Cannon. speaker of the
house , representatives finds time in
the maelstrom of political activity at
Washington to pay tribute to the auto
mobile. The venerable solon is a con-
firmed motor car enthusiast-admits II
and makes no excuse for his ardor.
In a letter to the Chicago Stude-
baker branch. Speaker Cannon lauds
the Studebaker car that he has used
constantly for nearly ono year. He
says.
THE Studebaker automobile which
have been using now for about ten
months has proved eminently salts
factory in every respect. 1t has been
in commission constantly since its pur-
chase with a minimum Of repairs; in
fact. 1t is in every way what I should
expect machine 10 be turned out by
