AUTOS CREATE
PROPERTY DEMAND
THE AUTOMOBILE Is A POTENT
FACTOR IN THE CREATION OF A
DEMAND FOR SUBURBAN PROP
ERTY-AssET TO REAL ESTATE
DEVELOPMENT.

The development Of the automobile
has given to suburban and country
land values a bigger bost than any
element heretofore has been regarded
as factor In real estate appraisals,'
says Horace De Lisser, vice president
of the United States Motor Co. "The
influence of the automobile Is as far
reaching In this respect as municipal
improvements are to land values in a
great city. Since the assessed valua-
ton Of taxable property is the basis of
revenue In incorporated cities and viii
lagos. the automobile carries real
money into the town treasury. 1t in
creases the value of outlying regions
beyond all proportion to their former
figures.
Zone ride into the open is enough to
convince any observer that the motor
car is vehicle of utility in civic and
rural betterment as well as In trans
portation Of persons and merchandise.
In trip of fifty miles In almost any
direction the tourist will see dozens
Of fine homesteads. valued only be-
cause of the agricultural pursuits
which their region permitted, as well
as dozens Of hill tops which were re-
garded only as waste land.
1T is a pronounced fact that many

earned solely because they we're able
to prove that the automobile is an eff
fective vehicle OF transportation, not
only from the station to the country
residence. but also from the country
estate to the city in which the owner
transactg his business. Furthermore,
the possession of an automobile by the
real estate agent enables him TO show
in the most convincing manner that
the place his client is about to inspect
is only about a mile from the railroad
station.
''The Importance OF the motor careas

territory il not fully appreciated to-
day. Nor ia Il realized that the pro-
nounced trend toward the country has
caused a sharp reaction In the cities.
In New York. for instance the build

dous proportions, has all but ceased.

changing their town residences for

TO MAKE MOTOR

Savannah, Sept. s1.--With the auto
mobile races two months of great in
teremt is being manifested In them.
The Indication is that the grand prize
and Vanderbilt, the American manu-
facturers will oppose their foreign
rivals with specially built racing cars
to a greater degree than has been the
case heretofore, when stock cars adapt
ed to racing have been the rule among
the entries.
President Granger, who remained
north following hts attendance on the
Elgin races. of which he was the hon
crary Judge, and who is looking after
the interests of the Savannah Auto
mobile club with the manufacturers
and assisting Starter Fred Wagner in
securing entries, writes that the Alec
cars may be seen in the grand prize
and Vanderbilt with team OF three
cars In each event. The National and
the Abbott Detroit are also in line
and the Loxier team has written fol

designs were about equally wasteful,

LARGER TiREs-THINk 1T WILL
BE ECONOMY TO MOTORISTS IN
THE LONG RuN--No ECONOMY
IN THE SMALL TIRE.

Greater freedom from tire trouble
and consequent tire economy will be
the immediate outgrowth OF the ten
dency Of automobile manufacturers to
increase the size Of wheels, according
to r. r. Drake, manager of the serv-
ice department of the United States
Tire Co.
Mr.. brakes business for several
years has been to study tire Ills and
conditions which bring them about. He
says that overlooking is one Of the
chief causes of tire trouble. Therefore,
the increase OF wheel diameter noticed
in the 1912 specifications OF some of
the best known cars is regarded by him
as good thing for the purchaser
There is no surer way to lay the
foundation for unsatisfactory tire serv-
Ice than to start out with a car on
which the tires are undersize." says
Mr.. Drake. THE trouble has been that
while the original tires might be OF
sufficient size to sustain the weight of
the car with it's specified allotment of
passengers, the fact was no taken into
consideration that many additional
pounds of equipment would immediate
ly be added by the purchaser, who, un-
Willingly, overloaded his car from the
first day 1t was in his possession.
There is absolutely no economy In
buying tires of small size for car
expected to carry a heavy load. Mo-
florists are gradually awakening to the
fact that a little extra money spent for
larger size tires proves a mighty good
investment in the long run"

Chicago, member of the national as

stand for the harsh electric horn,
with which the user has to become ac-

To tourists on reliability runs the cleo

Germs in the world, manufacturing a
number of well known lines OF cars.
d. G. Mitchell, construction engineer
of the United States Motor Co, has
arrived in Chicago with the news of a
huge project which lis about to be
adopted by his organization, that Of
erecting an automobile parts manufac-
turing plant as an additional enter

by the corporation, but to be main

machines" said MIR. Mitchell yester-
day. ION account of the growth OF ths
business 1t has been found necessary
to make the manufacture of parts for
cars of past seasons separate insti-
tuition.
This is an undertaking that involves
the establishment Of a plant In a cen-
trail location and 1t is proposed to In
stall machinery and TO operate on a
large scale with view to supplying
parts for cars manufactured by the
United States Motor Co. that date back
almost to the inception of the various
factories. In other words owners of
back numbers who have been obliged
to wait indefinitely to replace parts will
be accommodated without delay and
the new arrangement will not only
work out to the benefit OF these owners,
but will inspire confidence among the
purchasers of the models Of the current
years.
sat present there are twelve factor
les in operation under the control OF
the United States Motor Co. Limited
floor space will not permit these plants
to carry the machinery for models of
past seasons for any long periods.
What machinery OF the old types is
now available Will be part of the equip
ment Of the proposed plant and each
year the tools and machines of the
models Of previous years win be taken
over.
eve win need about 100000 square
feet Of moor space and about ten acres
Of ground"
The parts to be manufactured will
be Of the various models Of Maxwell,
Columbia, Stoddard- Dayton and Brush
pleasure cars, Alden Sampson conn
mercial vehicles and Gray marine en-
gines. All of these concerns are con-
trolled by the United States Motor Co.
The Brush Stoddard Dayton ana
Maxwell cars are sold very extensively
IN this territory and those lines OF
cars are well known here. Fargo be-
ing a good distributing point gives the
gate city a fair chance to land the
parts factory.

MAY GRANGE FORMULA
Present Method Of peterminls Motor
Car Powers Does Net Fit Med
srn Cara.

It Seems probable that automobile
associations will soon be obliged to
take up the problem OF devising for
mula for the fair approximation of
horsepower developed by automobiles.
AS is well known. the old A. 4. "A. M.
formula has become inaccurate for
many cars through advanced motor
construction and advanced engine
design.
The A. L. A. M. formula is based on
maximum Of 1000 feet Of piston
speed per minute and Is accurate FOR
the cheaper cars that develop that
rate of piston speed. But few moder-
ate or high priced cars of today deveI-
OPP as little as 1000 feet.
The old formula moreover, takes no
notice OF the general design of the
car, although this design largely de-
termines the actual horsepower deliv-
red TO the driving wheels. In an auto
mobile the horsepower developed by
the motor has to do great deal OF
work in turning the cam shaft, driving

owners land poor until the automobile
appeared and brought them nearer TO
the village or the city. The hill top
which q few years ago was looked
upon as worth no more than the tim
Der 1t yielded. OF was ignored as farm
ing land because Of sharp elevations
or other natural characteristics, now
cannot be bought for 1--WE times the
original valuation. The automobile
has given such places an exclusive To-
cation, has torn down the barrier of
altitude, which would wear out team
Of horses in reaching them, and has
given the owners ideal sites for coun-
try residences. The general result is
that there iB now a market for any
hill top or well elevated land within
a few hours ride Of large city, or a
few moments spin to the nearest
township.
Creates Demand for Property.
''No real estate agent can AFFORD to
be ignorant or unappreciative Of this
phase of automobile utility. II he
deals in suburban property, acreage,
beach sites or hill tops, he must have
practical as we'll as a theoretical
knowledge of the cost OF maintaining
one or more automobiles because the
vehicle is the instrument which creates
demand for the property. 1t is a
part of the agents equipment to be
able to show just how much value fs
added to country property by the
many ways in which the service and
