LOzIER CAR IS
RECORD BREAKER
Meets With Great Success in
Georgia q d Leads Them
All in California
SOLD BY WILMINGTON
AUTOMOBILE COMPANY

The Wilmington Automobile Com
pany, 221-22S West Tenth street, is
having many inquiries regarding the
Lozier car for which they have taken
the Delaware agency. The Lozier
has a great record.
The Grand Prize Race at Savannah,
Georgia, November IL, which by many
was considered to be the greatest road
race held in the world during the past
two years, witnessed another of the
remarkably consistent performances
of the 1911 Lozier Stock Cars.
In less than ninety days, beginning
with the Elgin race, August p and
ending with the Grand Prize race,
November IL, Ralph Mulford, with a
single, type 46 Lozier stock car, COM
peted in all of the big road and track
events of the country, never failing to
either win or finish among the first
five in every instance. He ran against
teams of two and three cars and with
great fields Of starters, alone and un-
assisted, made the most phenomenal
showing ever made by single car in
single season.
At Atlanta and Savannah late in
the season, Mulford was given a team
mate in the shape of Joe Horan with
type 81 six-cylinder stock car. This
car ran in four races at Atlanta and
the Grand Prize race at Savannah, (
and repeated Mulford's successes to <
the extent that this car also either \
won or finished among the first five
in every event in which it started; its
most notable victory being the win
ming of the star event of the Atlanta
meet--$3 ,O00-250-mile Grand Prize
Race IN which HoTan surpassed all
American records for either road or
track by averaging 20 1-2 miles per
hour for $50 miles. In all the his
tory of automobile racing, we have
no recollection of any car, or make OF
car, having entered so many big
events, never failing to finish and al
ways among the winners or leaders.
Race Open to All Cars
The Grand Prize Race at Savannah
was an event open to any horse
power, size or style of car. The only
requirement of the Technical Commit
tee was that the car be provided with
a reverse gear. The Fiat Company,
for two years past, had been building
three cars for the purpose Of compet-
] ing in this race, and they were driven
by two Of the greatest foreign drivers
in the world and one Of the greatest
American drivers, and we're probably
the fastest racing cars which the Fiat
! Company has ever produced.
The three Benz cars We're of 120
II. p each, and II is probable that
no finer or better racing cars were
ever produced. They were the re-
| suit of three years work and expert
/ ment on the part of the Benz Com
pany with a view TO perfecting them
as racing machines, pure and simple.
Hemery, supposed to be one of the
greatest drivers in the world, was
brought to drive one Of these
machines.
Among the other cars were two rae
I ing Bucks; a special Marmon racing
car; another Marmon. winner of the
1 Atlanta trophy and second car to fin
/ ish in the Vanderbilt race; the Van
derbilt Alco and two Vanderbilt Cup
| Pope -Hartfords., Every one of these
cars except two of the 120 II. P. Benz
racers and one of the 100 H. p Bucks
were defeated by the two Loziers
stock cars.
Several interesting facts may be
considered in connection with this
race. In the first place the Lozier
cars were the first stock cars to finish.
/ In the second place they were the only
team of cars to finish complete. Every
other manufaeturer entering cars suf-
fered the loss of one or more of them.
| All three of the Fiat cars failed to
finish: one of the Benz machines did
not finish; neither of the Pope-Hart-
fords completed the race; one Of the
Bucks was out of the race before IL
was half over, and the Marmon
special racer also met with mechani-
cal troubles that put 1t out Of the race.
The Alco was also disabled before the
race was half over. The Lozier there
fore. was the only make of car to fin
ish 100 per cent perfect.
The Loziers we're the first shaft
driven cars to finish While the Benz,
Buick. Fiat and Alec Companies are
all building and recommending the
shaft-driven cars, they race with
chain driven cars. for reasons which
thav alone can eXnlain.
