STEARNS TO SELL
KNIGHT MOTORS
Silent Sleeveless Rights Sc
cured by Cleveland Auto
Manufacturers.

An announcement of great interest
to the trade has been made public by
the II. b. Stearns Company, of Cleve-
land, manufacturers of SAarns-
knight cars, in the statement that
they are prepared to manufacture
Silent Knight type sleeve valve
motors for the trade.
When the Knight licenses were first
granted to American manufacturers,
the Atlas Engine Works, of Indian
apolis, succeeded in securing one of
them, the understanding being that
they were to build motors for auto
mobile manufacturers. AS SOC as
this announcement was made the
Atlas people booked an enormous
number of orders for motors, and up
to the time of the failure of the Atlas
Engine Works a number of prominent
American manufacturers planned to
use Atlas-Knight motors. With the
failure of this pioneer firm, however.
the ear manufacturers who had so
confidently counted upon using the
Knight type motor were left stranded,
and for some time speculation has
been rife as to where they would turn
for motors, inasmuch as no more
licenses are to be given out in
America to manufacture motors
direct.
The Stcarns people, under their
agreement with Knight & Kilbourne,
have the right to manufacture motors
for the trade, and they have been
quietly laying plans for the past six
months to put this idea into force.
Recent factory additions have en-
abled them to bring these prepara-
lions to a head, and it is understood
that negotiations are now under way
with a number of a manufacturers
looking to the adoption of the Knight
type motors built by the Stearns
people. In commenting upon the an
nouncement hal this company was
preparing to manufacture motors
President Frank b.. Stearns said:
1.-The growing sentiment in favor of
the sleeve valve motor is becoming
more and more pronounced, and for
months past / have felt hat there
was no reason why we should not
put to good use the engineering and
manufacturing experience which we
have acquired in building our own
Stearns-Knight motors.
THE trade is well aware of the fact
hat we build our entire motor in
Cleveland, importing no parts

INCREASES STOCK;
FACTORY RUSHED
Federal Rubber Company, Auto
Tire Concern, Doing I'M
mense Business.

The Federal Rubber Manufacturing
Company, of Milwaukee, on Saturday
filed in the office of the secretary of
association, increasing its capital
stock from 81, 200, 900 to ST. 600, 0O0-the
increase consisting of I per cent. pre-
ferred stock, redeemable at 100.
The increased capitalization has
been made necessary by the growth
of the Federal Company's business in
the past year. during which the
actual sales have exceeded the esti-
mated sales by $500, 900, and to pro-
vide for future expansion.
In May. last year, the Federal Rub
Der Manufacturing Company pur-
chased the plant of the Federal Rub
Der Company at Cudahy, since which
time The present company has made
extensive additions to the plant, prac-
tically trebling the floor space of the
plant. A modern office building has
been erected. The mechanical equip
ment of the plant Is conceded to be
one of the most complete in the
country. for manufacture. of automo-
bile, motorcycle and bicycle tires,
carriage and truck tires and a full
line of mechanical rubber goods.
Additional buildings and other I'M
provements are under way, including
a new power plant, aggregating $500
H.. p. boiler, and a further addition
to the Office building. This work is
made necessary by immediate re-
quirements OF the business. The total
expenditures for improvements will
represent approximately $500, 900, Civ
ing the company about $50, 900 square
feet of floor space, providing IN
ployment for a force of between LOCO
and 1000 men and representing an
approximate annual output capacity
of IS, 900, 900.
The remarkable success of the new
Federal Company during the past
year Is attributed to the high quality
of It's product, its strong and well
organized sales force, and the aggre
sive national advertising campaign
which has been conducted in behalf
of its dealers. Federal branches and
sales agencies dot the country from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
gulf to the Canadian border. Elf
cheney of this sales organization is
shown by the fact that since January
s the plant has been operating
twenty-four hours each day to take
care of the influx of business.

OVERLAND CAR
STANDARDIZED
High Degree of Efficiency
Makes Nearly Every Part
interchangeable.

When John North WHY'S came out
with his announcement some weeks
ago, to the effect that he would build
10000 cars for 1913, l do not think
that the full Significance of this move
has been felt. Tho building of 40, 900
car in itself is a stupendous per-
Torrance. but when one analyses the
type and the value built into them ut
the price they are being sold at, the
genius of the man as a builder stands
out in all its brilliancy. His is n
world a~mbition-not primarily to he
the greatest builder from A quantity
standpoint, but from a quality stand
point also. And for a realization Of
his ambition one must go hand-in-
hand with the other-the permanency
of the one depends upon the perma-
nency of the other.
All standards Of values, even his
own, have been upset this veal in the
great 30-horse power car which he
has built to sell under a thousand
dollars. Comparison has been made
of this car with machines formerly
sold at 81, 200, but as a matter of fact
the price comparison could be placed
much higher than that by the use Of
a little retrospect. outside of the
carguretors, tires and electrical equip
ment, every part that goes into an
Overland is made by WHY'S and
every part is Interchangeable. Each
car is a replica Of the other, and SO
exact Is the standardization that any
score Of the machines can be die
assembled, the parts punched and
twenty perfect machines assembled
again without n break in the har-
mony of relation of one part to the
other.
This standardization is what makes
it possible to give this grade of "a
at the price. There is no loss in ex-
perimentinE with parts from a score
of different manufacturers and the
profit saved from that source besides
that c%oincident upon the purchase Of
raw material for 10000 ears finds it.
self safely ensconsed in the pockets
of the ultimate purchasers. And it
is a matter of M small note that as
WHY'S has revolutionized values IN
the car itself, so also has he done in
the matter of equipment.

wise progressive part of the West
ern Hemisphere. rigidly closed to u
tomobiles, is the fact of which the
average motorist is probably I'M
aware. Such is the case. however.
In the rich agricultural province of
Prince Edward Island, motor cars
remain legally listed with wild ami
mails of destructive tastes, riots, rev.
olutions and similar disturbances.
Should one appear on the street, the
peaceful islanders would probably
call out the militia.
This strange condition is recalled
