NEW THOMAS CAR HERE
Long Stroke Motor Of Six Cylin-
ders Distinctive Feature.

Inc first Of the 1911 Thomas cars reached
this city yesterday. II is the six-eyIinder
4o-horsepower car that will be the Thomas
leader this season. The characteristic
features which made il so conspicuousIy
successful last year have been continued
the long stroke motor with large valves
and siX-cylinGer construction The preva-
lence of the long stroke motor abroad and
the growing sentiment in this country in
favor OF the six-cylinder car were the
acJuating forces in determining the design
Of this car. Mr. Thomas believes that in
combination these two features make the
most effective construction. and he is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities, since he
alone is manufacturing a car ernbodying
both factors
The superior fexihility Of the six-cyIinder
motor has been SO generally discussed that
its merits are very well understood by the
motoring public The increased number Of
siX-cyiinder cars in the market and the
adoption OF the type by several more prom
inent manufacturers this year are regard
ed as significant Of American tendencies
The additional power and hexibiEty Sc
cured by q long stroke and large valves
are generally understood.
Mr. Thomas built last year about LOO cars
Seven hundred Of these were the $40 type
OF this construction. The Thomas dealers
in convention at Buffalo last week were
very enthusiastic over the success Of these
cars. 4 careful canvass of owners, con-
Quoted earlier in the year, suggested no
