AMERICA CAN COPY SOME

their development of the s~o-called
torpedo" type of body. with very
deep, luxurious cushions, low seats
and a long. low-hung chassis. This
year will see many of the better makes
here adopting every one OF these
ideas, with the resultant production
of a type OF car more suited 10 our
rougher roads than ever before. Prac-
tically every car in Europe has a
long-stroke motor, which results have
proven gives unusual efficiency.
A radical difference IN development
Of models between the European and
American makes is their utilization
of races. l saw the Grand Prix auto
mobile a c I'VE the Dieppe circuit
and was particularly impressed by the
showing made by ears of moderate
horsepower. Perhaps there was no
race ever held wher there was such
a variation in size of the motors.
ranging from a car with a four-cylin-
der. 12-horsepower motor, up to cars
of l50-horsepower. OF course the big
cars had enormous speeds upon the
str~aightaway, one of them being timed
during the race as running Tor two
miles at the rate of Ill miles an hour.
However, the stops made by the big
cars were so frequent TO fill up with
gasoline. oil and change tires, hat a
number of the light cars actually av-
eraged almost as high rate of speed.

GARFORD CAR POPULAR
AMONG SHOW PEOPLE
Many of Leading Stars Drivers
of These Autos.

1t is a w~ell-known fact that mem.
bers of the theatrical profession are
clannish to a considerable extent and
usually reside in colonies, particularly
in the summer time. There are sew
eral resorts in New York which are
celebrated as abiding places of we'll
known actors, actresses and man
ayers.
This same peculiarity>seems to pre-
vail with them in the selection of
motor cars, and the Garford seems
to be the favorite one 6up to the
present.
Lee Shubert has owned a town car
for a year OF more and recently pur-
chased a six-cylinder touring car.
Lew Fields motors in daily from his
home in Far Rockaw way and Max
Rogers, who is now playing in
"Hanky-Panky," purchased a forty
runabout last week.
Julian Mitchell, the ~wen-known
stage manager, is now the owner of
a six-cylinder Garford touring car.
Walter Hale returned from Europe
with glowing accounts of the per-
formances of his Garford forty with
which he climbed the Alps and other
attitudes. His wife. Louise Closer.
is writing a book of her experiences
on the trip. which will be illustrated
with drawings and photos by Mr..

NEW OVERLAND CARS ARE
GIVEN FINE RECEPTION
3o-Horsepower Model at $685.
PIeases Motorists.

Reports from C. T. Silver, distrib-
utor of Overland cars for the Eastern
territory. disclose a very stable con
ditior of affairs in the motor car
trade. Hundreds of motorists have
viewed the new 30-horsepower $685.
Overland at his agency. and this is
regarded as a happy augury of the
future, particularly as the cars bid
for favor is not made on any revolu-
tionary design or construction.
The jump in production from $4,000
in 1912 to 40 1000 cars for 1918 has en-
abled the Overland builders to do
wonders in the matter of equipment
and refinement of essential details.
This leeway in production is a great
tribute in itself to the popularity of
the Overland and shows, since the
manufacturers make no radical
change, that the fundamental prin-
ciples of design and construction are
correct for this type of car.
An immense sign over Mr.. Silver's
place on Broadway. New York, por-
trays the new model. 1t attracts a
lot of attention. This same sign tells
its story of development. Announce

DRIVES CAR ACROSS

A Packard owner from Bellingham.

of the 1903 model-across the conti-
nent in twenty days. He was on his
way abroad and wanted the sterling
old machine tuned up. after its long
trip. and shipped, but he could not
himself wait to superintend the pro-
ceedings. The car was left at the
Packard service station in Long
Island City. tuned TO perfection and
shipped on the appointed date. When
he ants it shipped back again the
Packard branch in Paris will he only

His case is different from that OF
a well-known wholesale druggist in
New York. whose 1907 car last year
got in the way of a Long Island lal.-

crossing. When they hauled it out
of the way a junk dealer would have
been ashamed to bid on the remains

PREJUDICE AGAINST U. S.
AUTOS ABROAD HAS ENDED

Prejudice against the American
automobile, one Of the greatest OBJ
stacles to success in exporting cars.
has been almost completely broken
down. On a trip around the world
started about two a ago, the
prejudice at first was very notice
able, but the difference could be noted
as the journey progressed and Amer
lean business grew, says Tom Jones,
OF the export department of the
RICH Corporation, who last Deeem-
ter completed a two years automo-
bile trip around the world.
Since my retur | have talked to
amcn from nearly every country on
Ithe face OF the earth who have come
to the RICH factory TO secure ter
~ritorial rights in their countries and
had thespleasure OF hearing them adj
nit that the prejudice had practical
|ly vanished. and some OF these men
have been frank TO admit that they
had at one time been set against the
American product.
1T has been a hard fight. but Amer
lean cars are winning out and obtain
ing the prominence they deserve.
Foreign prejudice was created by the
cars sent abroad in. the early days
OF the industry. They did not deliver
and the result has been a hard fight
for recognition on the part Of Amer
lean manufacturers ever since.
"The thing that appeals most
strongly to the foreign purchaser of
an American ear is the price. There
is nothing in the foreign market in
a four-cylinder car that can come
anywhere near the price of the RICH
or other Iow-price cars to which the
bulk of American trade is confined.
and the main efforts of the European
producers seems at the present time
to produce a car that will compete
with the popular-priced Americans.
But there is a high standard set
for the American cars. Our manu-
J featuring systems. huge factories
great production and low prices arr
considered wonderful and raise ex-
pectations so the purchaser looks fol
just as much in an American cal
which he can buy, duty and freight
paid. for about 81 LOO or 81, 200 as he
would in a car built in his own coun
try to sell for S., 900. 1t is the ability
of the American cars TO come pretty
close TO this mark that has opened
up our trade so wonderfully"
