HOW BUICK COMPANY
CARES FOR CUSTOMERS
Washington Branch Always
Ready to Assist in Expedit-
ing Deliveries.

In ten years the automobile industry
has grown to tremendous proportions. As
was natural, the first efforts were bent
entirely upon developing and perfecting
a practical and serviceable car, which
would be dependable all the twelve
months of the year.
That this was accomplished successfully
is we'll known, not only to those directly
interested, but also to the general public
The motor car having been perfected, the
next step in the development of the in
dustry was the care of and the providing
of good service to the car user.
No automobile builders in the United
States recognized the vital Importance
of good service to the consumer more
quickly than the Buick Motor Company,
and today, by means of a chain of branch
houses established in every important
city in the Union. they are in position to
give honest, immediate and entire salts
faction to every owner of Buick car.
For example, the Washington branch of
the Buick Motor Company. in addition to
their attractive saIesrooms, 102S Connecti-
cut avenue. maintain a large warehouse
on 18th street between l. and NJ streets.
In this warehouse cars are kept In stock
for immediate delivery, not only to wash
ingtonians, but to chain of Buick agents
in every small town in surrounding
states.
A large and complete stockroom is also
maintained at the warehouse, where any
part of any Buick car, new or old, is in
stantly obtainable, and as a necessary
element Of completion fully equipped
shop with a corps of capable automobile
factory mechanics. Is it not salts
faction to every Buick owner to know
that these thousands of dollars of in
vested capital are at his instant disposal.
that every merchant using Buick truck
knows that If any accident should occur
to one of his trucks that phone call to
the Buick Office will bring him an extra
truck which is at his disposal until his
own is again ready for service, so that his
deliveries Of goods are uninterrupted?
Will not the thoughtful purchaser of
car. whether for pleasure or business. stop
to consider first the financial standing
and responsibility of both manufacturer
and agent, and second, what kind of
service he can get after he makes his pur-
chase?
The Buick Company thinks he will.

Speaking of the Chalmers entries, Mr.
Chalmers himself says:
chalmers cars for 1911, as in previous
seasons, represent a Standardization of the
most approved practices both in mechanl-
cal construction and finish. Chalmers
types for 1911 have that snappy beauty
of line and finish which has been typical
of the entire Chalmers product. There
have been no radical changes in mechanl-
cal construction, but through minor re-
finements all types of cars have been
materially improved. The latest models
are now offered to the public without in
crease in price, but with a very material
increase in value
Chalmers line for 1911 is the Introduction
of a new model of the torpedo type. This
is forty-horSepoWer car Of four-pas-
senger capacity which supplants the 1910
forty pony tonneau. Among the forward
door types the Chalmers is one of the
most distinctive on the market. The
straight line effect is carried out at every
point All door locks and levers are
placed on the inside of the body, giving
not only a smooth and finished appear
ance, but also eliminating all dust-gath-
ering features.
otherwise the Chalmers line is little
changed from 191O.'
The Peerless models for 1911 are similar
to those of 1910. but many improvements
will be noticeable
The Stevens-Duryea 1911 cars show no
change in the general principles of their
manufacturers. They are kept up to the
standard and show the natural Improve
ment expected from another years eX-
perience by the Stevens-Duryea firm.

.GLMPSES OF BURMA
WITH YANKEE GOGGLES
Nizam of Hyderabad Is an Au-
tomobi|e Enthusiast,
He Says.

Birmingham, England, has chemist
who has invented a process for trans
forming gasoline or petrol into white,
stiff jelly, by means of which he claims
to effect a saving of 80 per cent in the
material used. The process includes the
addition of alcohol and ~ per cent of
steatite, the latter being a mineral Or
dinarily used in the manufacture of
porcelain ware the composition Of cray
ons and in the polishing of marble-in
other words, soapstone. A high-powered
automobile is said to have made several
long and successful trips in England by
using the jelly in place of the gasoline
in it's natural form.
His highness the Nizam of Hyderabad,
India, has proclaimed himself an automo-
bile enthusiast. In addition to large
number of machines which he has pos
sessed for quite length OF time, some
of his cars being American made, the
niZam has just acquired a six-cylinder
Napier, of 4-feet-S-inch gauge, with a
wheelbase of 10 feet and inches. The
machine has an inclosed aluminium tom
neau. The price paid for this car was

''METz" DID NOT ARRIVE
IN TIME FOR SHOW
Swift Little HiII-CIimber That
"Covered Nine States
in One Day.

r. W. King of G21 Louisiana avenue has
reason to feel disappointed. He is the
agent for the District of Columbia and
Maryland for the Metz runabout, known
as 1.-The car that covered nine states in
a single day.
Mr. King had reserved space to exhibit
the Metz machines at the automobile show
which opens tomorrow night at Conven-
ton Hall, but could not get them here in
time and was reluctantly compelled to
cancel his entry.
The Metz runabout is spoken of by Mr..
King as 1.-The cheapest machine-that is a
machine-on the Market" the price COM
plete being $4S5. The claims made for the
little Metz are, besides it's clleapness, it's
hill-climbing ability and ease of control
The runabout is convertible into a de-
livery machine, or. by use of a rumble
seat. into a roadster. The change, Mr..
King says, can be made in ten minutes.
'Of course said Mr.. King yesterday,
Il shall be glad to show any one at any
time what the Metz can do. l am sorry
not to have been able to give a demon
stration at Convention Hail."

not popular except in almost the imme-
date vicinity of the city.
The demand for small size commercial
vans and vehicle motor trucks is growing
The English HALEY car is just being tn

well-to-do natives Of India, the rich
Burmese, civil servants, army officers,
professional men. people in various lines
of business bankers, shopkeepers and
even clerks have their own horses, car
riages and automobiles. Nearly every
body uses these conveyances, for the
reason that there are no tram-car lines
leading to the outlying districts, which
extend from three to ten miles from the
business center.
The price fer little Burma pony and a
one-horse. two-wheeled dogcart or buggy,
IS from $500 to 5000; while a pony and
four-wheeler cost from 800 to 81 900 This
would buy quite a respectable small auto
mobile and there would be no extra ex-
pense for oats. There would seem to be
a splendid opportunity for American
made automobiles in Rangoon. The
Burma railways buy motor vans for the
delivery Of parcels direct from the manu-
facturers. The Bibby or Henderson line,
by way Of Liverpool, or by the Hamburg
and Hansa line are reliable and ex-
peditious routes over which shipments of
automobiles can be made.
Para Rubber Industry.
The great and rapidly increasing planta-
ton para rubber industry in the Malay
peninsula is having the effect of creating
a demand fer automobiles, both of the
touring and commercial types. There are
now 425 automobiles in Singapore, COM
pared with less than 200 at the beginning
of 1910 mere are 1000 miles of Splendid
metal roads through the Federated Malay
States and the Straits Settlements, and
in these sections the increase in the num-
Der of automobiles is proportionate with
Silrga pore. The fact that the govern
ment is also alive to the modern vehicle
is shown in the activity of the railway
officials, who have established a fine auto
mobile or motor car service in connection
with the railway lines for the accommoda-
ton of the travelling public. The para
rubber planters in all parts of the coun-
try are expressing their gratitude over
the fact that the introduction Of the
pleasure and the business automobile has
made life worth the living.
That the wealthy Chinese are waking
to the modern idea of the use of the au-
tomobile as a vehicle of business and
pleasure is evident from the interest that
the dozen or more machines in Tientsin
have created. Nine of these machines
are the property of foreign residents,
the remaining number belonging to ma
tive Chinese. The Tientsin streets where
the foreigners reside are in fine condi-
ton for motoring, the roadbeds broad

By Special Correspondent of the Automobile.
SYDNEY, n. S. W., January 2.-Austra-
liza, like other civilized countries of the
world, is making good progress with mo-
tors and today the number of cars reg
istered throughout the commonwealth Is
nearly 10000. made up as follows in the
five different states: New South Wales.
$500; Victoria, 900; South Australia.
1900; West Australia, $50: Tasmania, 500.
In addition to this number there are
about 200 taxicabs and other vehicles ply
ing for the public hire. Looking back
as recently as two years ago, there were
only about a third of this number of cars
and these were chiefly used in the cities,
the country farmer having then poor
opinion of the utility Of the motor; but
today he is fast recognizing the value of
the automobile and motor cars are to be
seen in every district.
A gold boom recently sprang into exist
ence in West Australia and the usual rush
for claims Immediately followed. 1t
startled the ears of many when they
heard that the first to reach the field
used motor cars and thus secured the
best blocks.

British Cars Inferior.


The knight -engined Daimler has taken
on wonderfully we'll since its introduction
less than eighteen months ago, which is a
following of it's great boom in England.
All the leading British cars are placed on
the Australian market, but in most in
stances their sale is inferior to that of
the continental cars, despite the pref
erence OF tariff in favor of the British
idly in numbers and they are being built
and equipped in a modern style and in
some instances they almost equal Euro
pean garages.
One of the most striking features of
the Austrian trade is the rapid growth
OF sale of American cars. Less than two
years ago the only American cars to be
seen We're few Fords, Reos and several
cheap cars of the air-cooled and friction
scar type in New South Wales and sew
eral Oldsmobiles in the other cities. AL
though the Fords and ReoS gave their
owners coed service, the American cars
were termed Yankee rubbish" princi-
pally owing to the fact that the previous
importations of American cars were of
the cheapest class made and the agents
cared little or nothing for the cars after
they once sold them. But today the stu
alton is completely changed, and in Sgd
ney alone there are hundreds of American
cars to be seen running through the
streets, comprising chleny FordS, Canll-
laos, Reos, Bucks, Brushes, Hupmobiles.
while the latest introduction to these
shores are the Thomas, Cole 49," Max
well. Overland, Chalmers-Detroit. EMF
and Moline.
Practically every agent in Australia
is now including an American agency in
his 1911 program. and such cars as the
Packard, Peerless. Studebaker and Stod-
dard-Dayton are to be introduced, and
their advent is being eagerly waited by
every one who uses a motor car. ana
when these cars are on the roads the
Australian motorist will find that Ameri-
can cars are better proposition than he
they are tested on the rough country
roads. 1t is on the country roads where
many good European car fails. owing
to the low ground clearance, weak springs
and axles and also the excessive weight
of European cars in proportion to the
power of the engine causes them to be
useless in sandy and muddy country.
