AMERICAN METHODS
AMAZE FOREIGNERS
Ford Plant a Big Surprise
toGerman Experts.

1t was to get facts concerning the
American method for the manufacture of
a large quantity of small automobiles
that Carl Neumaier. general manager of
the Benz Auto Company, of Mannheim,
Germany: George DiehL chief engineer
of the company. and Fritz WurmalI, the
1atter's assistant, recently spent a week
in Detroit
The Ford plant is the most remarkable
in the world. It is the very best in
equipment and method" said Mr.. Neu-
maier. We have wondered how it was
an American company could turn out so
many cars as the Ford does. and whether
the methods by which they do it could
be applied to our manufacture. They
have a wonderful plant. We are looking
into the advisabilty of building a small
car, but have not decided as yet. We
don't make our decisions quickly and we
do not go into thing and then drop it
After We have considered the matter
thoroughly We will decide what is to be
done with it,
George DichI is the engineer who de-
signed and built the 2o0-horsepower Benz
with which Barney Oldfield broke the
worlds record He now has completed
a new car which is capable of an addi-
tiOnaI ten miles an hour, making a pos
sible speed of 15O miles in sixty minutes.

NEW AUTOCRAT CAR
STRIKING CREATION
Product of Olds Factory a
Beautiful Machine.

The Oldsmobile Autocrat, the new Gre
alton of the Oldsmobile factories, is one
of the most beautiful and striking cars
put out this year by any motor car man
ufacturer for 1911. The Oldsmobile has
always been characterized by superb
equipment and mechanical perfection in
every line. This year. the success of the
designers and manufacturers has been
greater than ever, and in the Autocrat
it can safely pe said that the perfection
has well-nigh been reached, as it is un-
derstood by manufacturers to-day.
OldsmobiIe construction this year shows
a radical advance over that of last year
by change to TYPE cylinder. In 1910
an L-type cylinder was used. For the
coming season the cylinder dimensions
have been increased from 43-4 inches
square to 5-inch bore and 6-inch stroke,
and the valves have been enlarged from
1 S4 to,2 81 inches. Many other mechan-
ical changes have been made and every
one of them adds to the joy of motoring
in an Oldsmobile. The constant search
for perfection which marks the Oldsmo-
bile designers has this year resulted in
excellence which makes the
car more than ever worth while.

PRICE REDUCTION
HELD A MISTAKE
Would Necessitate Cheaper
ing Grade of Car.

ITO decrease the prices of our cars
would entail a commensurate cheaper
ing of the machine as a whole by sub
stituting malleable iron when drop forg-
ing should logically be employed in a
high-class motor car, and to use carbon
steel instead of high quality chrome
nickel and chrome vanadium Steel" says
Thomas C. O'Connor, president Of the
Pullman Motor Car Company.
The Pullman Motor Car Company has
always believed. and will always consist
emily adhere to their belief, that the SEN
sible buyer of a medium priced automo-
bile appreciates high quality in the vitals,
or the internal side of a motor car more
than he dose in the lavishing of undue
expenses on external features, which
soon fade, and which. when the luster is
gone and the unsubstantial and weak in
ternal features of the car show them
selves in service. disgust the purchaser
of the machine and, in many instances,
hurt the industry by causing him to.
abandon the use of an automobile.
1--WE put a durable, substantial finish
on our cars, but we put the greater part
of our, money in building as solid and
durable a mechanism around the power
plant as is possible and with the present
price OF raw materials and labor we can
not see how any motor car can be cheap
ened in cost without defrauding the buyer
by offering him a machine whose good
ness is merely ON the surface-in other
words, a car merely built to SELL
Eve cannot and will not defraud the
man who wants an honest car by cheap
ening our prices and substituting cheaper
materials in its manufacture"

DAYTONS EMBRACE
SCORE OF MODELS
Four Chassis Sizes Used in
StOddard Machines.

For the coming season the Dayton
Motor Car Company has ready a most
comprehensive line of Stoddard-Dayton
cars, embracing four chassis sizes and in
all twenty-five different models, not
few of these models consisting Of diff
ferent bodies mounted on the same
chassis. In addition to the company
giving the buyer the option of four motor
sizes, the company gives every variety
of body. including seven-passenger tour
ing, five-paSsenger touring, torpedo types,
baby tonneau roadsters, limousines, Ian
daulets, and Coupes.
Speaking generally. the Dayton Motor
Car Company has in its so and 10 horse
POWER types continued its design OF the
present year. using the valve-in-the-head
motor. In the 30-horsepower type, which
is an entirely new chassis, an "L' type
motor, with cylinders cast in pairs, is
made use of, but the remaining parts of
this chassis being similar to that en-
ployed in the 30 and so sizes In the %
horsepower model third design is used,
namely, the employment of monobIoc
four-cylinder motor with valves on one
side This 3l-horsepower chassis differs
from the others, in that 1t uses a selec-
tive gearset formed as a unit with the
rear axle.
In general there are some character
istic STANDARDIZATION features found in
all four models, namely, the employment
of three-speed selective gearset, double
brakes on the rear axle, leather faced
cone clutches, and magnetic ignition.

SIMPLICITY THE KEYNOTE.
a Feature of the 1911
Model Hudson Cars.

Simplicity and accessibility form the
keynote of the 1911 Hudson cars The
new thing IN Hudsons is Howard f.
Cofhn's 80 Concerning the new models
John Barros says:
About 6c5 parts were banished from
the 1910 car for the sake of simplicity
and accessibility. Mr.. Coffin irclosed the
valves. making them dustproof and 81
lencing the noise of the pushrods; he
combined the fiywheel and fan, making
the motor more accessible and slightly;
and the arrangement of the water pump
magnetic and their connections was in
geniOusly done.
The motor has a four-inch bore and
a four-inch stroke, turning up 80 revo-
lutions a minute under load. The four
cylinders are cast en- bloc, following for
eign practice. The motor presents the
appearance OF a solid, clean-cut block,
with nothing moving but the fiywheel.
The Hudson torpedo was built to meet
the seasons demands for this, the fore
door type. Its lines are rakish and sug-
gest speed, power, and comfort The
pony tonneau Is a four-passenger car
with low seats, tilted backward. The
steering post is set at an angle that gives
an appearance of rush to the machine,
even when It is standing still. The front
dash is bell-shaped.

NEW ELMoRE FEATURES.
Two-cycIe Motor Has Four
Cylinders.

Introduction of a new high duty" mo-
tor and addition Of a 5o-horsepower tour
ing car TO the 1911 line are new Gilmore
features noted in the display of models
which will be on exhibition at the show.
Like its successful predecessors, the new
Gilmore motor is valveless, two cycle. 1t
has four cylinders.
In the 0-horsepower motor used in
the Model 25 Elmore, the cylinders are
cast separately and arranged vertically.
The bore is four inches and the stroke
three and one-half. A vertical type radi-
ator is used in the coiling system. Igni-
ton is by jump spark.
These are shaft-driven cars, with a
selective sliding gear transmission fur
nishing three speeds feEYard and re-
verse. A multiple disk clutch is used.
The wheel base is los 1-2 inches and the
gauge fifty-six inches. Tires are 32x3 1-2.
both front and rear, and contrasting and
expanding brake systems are used on
both rear wheels.
The new 5O-horsepower car. which
comes with touring and demi-to tonneau
bodies, has a four-cylinder engine, bore
IL inches and stroke 4 inches. The
carburetor is of Elmore make and the
double ignition system Atwater-kent
magnetic is furnished on the larger car.
Current supply is from dry cells. Tires
are 3fX4.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES
GROWING IN FAVOR
They Are Reliable and IneX.
pensive to Maintain.

Whatever may be said OF the growth in
popularity OF the gasoline pleasure and
commercial vehicles. certainly their rise
in use during the last year cannot COM
pare with that Of the attractive, dainty
eleCtTiCS.
1t has really been only during the last
year that WashinStonianS have been able
to see the real worth of these cars. For
some reason or other. the motoring pub
lie seemed to feel that they would not be
able to stand the test here, although
Washington is known throughout the
country as having finely paved streets.
the most necessary adjunct for the cleo
trio.
Statistics show that tho electric vehicle
industry has increased over IS per cent
during the past twelve months, and from
very good sources information has been
received indicating at least as great a
percentage increase in the coming twelve
months. 1t is also well appreciated that
electric work is now on a plane as never
before; the problems are better under
stood and mucn more care is exercised
in every detail of the undertakings.
Methods of manufacture are thoroughly
well grounded: the most approved proc
eSses are used and the engineers, who
must be relied upon for results, are in
better fettle than ever before, while COM
panies are more inclined to listen.
Undoubtedly one of the striking causes
for the increased popularity of the cleo
trio has been the improvements made in
batteries The recent test where two cleo
tries came within an ace of ascending
Mount Washington was the greatest dem
onstration of the power of these We
hicles that has ever been witnessed by
the public. And again, frequent runs
have been made during the past twelve
months which for the number of miles
covered outdiStanced twofold and three
fold anything that has ever heretofore
been ACCOMPLISHED

Frank G. FickIing supply Company.

Keeping up the stock is found in every
business house to be a difficult task It
means that not only must an accurate
account be kept OF every piece of goods
sold, but also that as fast as they
are sold others of the same kind
must be ordered. In the automobile ac-
cessory line it is perhaps harder to keep
the supply up to date than in any other
line. The main reason for this is the
fact that so many new things are being
made each day which cater to the taste
of the automobilist. THE Frank G. Flick
ling Company, dealers in automobile ac-
cessories, though in business less than
a year, has earned a reputation for
handling only the best and that which is
hest suited to the tastes of the automo-
bilist.

THE PAIGE-DETROIT CAR.
A Classy Machine to Be Shown b!
the SeIby Company.

Classy Machine to Be Shown by
the Se1by Company.
One Of the classiest of the small cars
to be exhibited at the show will be the
Paige-Detroit fore-door touring car which
is handled in the city by the Selby Com
pany. 1t is one Of the few small cars
and perhaps the only machine selling for
less than 81 600 which has a selective type
three-speed forward transmission.
The car Is rated at but . horsepower,
but il is claimed for II that it will turn
over nearer 30. One OF the innovations
of this small car is the braking system.
The hand brake controls an external con-
tracing band on the brake drum, while
the foot brake is of the internal expand
ing type. Brakes on the majority of
other cars work in the opposite way.
/. This is the first year that the Paige
Detroit Motor Company has built four
cycle motor. In seasons past it confined
its efforts to the two-cycle type, which
it is still making for those who favor
valveless cars

Electric Supply Company.

Complete Display by the National
Electric Supply Company.
The automobile supply business has
grown to such an extent that the Ma
tional Electric Supply Company, which
has an auto accessory department, has
been forced to rent another building ad-
joining its present location on New York
avenue which will be devoted exclusively
to the auto department of the store.
William Jose, who looks after the auto
mobile business for this concern, will
move his headquarters into the new
building about March /. at which time
the alterations to the building which are
now being made will be completed.
Though at present they carry a full
line of supplies for the motorists. from
a cotter pin to demountable rims, the
stock will be greatly increased Every
thing for the motorist'' is the motto. At
the show in their exhibit they will have
everything that can possibly be used on
an automobile in the line of accessories
