AUTOMOBILE SHOWS
HAVE GREAT VALUE

+. d. Dorman, secretary United
States Motor Company, claims that
few persons recognize the real value
of the great automobile shows which
are held annually in New York and
other large cities. Their Importance as
an aid in marketing a manufacturers
output, stimulating public interest in
automobiles and promoting a healthy
atmosphere in the trade. is fully real;
lied by the manufacturers. The shows:
have many benefits beyond those which
are apparent to everyone.
These exhibitions have become o
necessary adjunct to the energy of
year-round production and sale. They
are anticipated long in advance and
the preparatory work absorbs part OF
the energy of every department. When
ready for public view they represent
ard reflect the best efforts of the man
ufacturing, advertising and selling
forces.
Thousands of persons who never miss
an automobile show give expression to
opinions or choices concerning various
matters of design and these shows
have become to automobile manufac-
turers very much the same as a first
night audience is to a new play. Spon-
taneous approval or disapproval Is
given. Much of what the public likes
will stand the test of time; some OF
their preferences do not. But the gen.
eral trend of sentiment seems to COM
htn, NTH tanlnnata. nf J1rt..
No competent person can deny that
the shows have been a strong factor
in determining the practises that ex-
ist today. Certainly the unsuppliable
demand for space In these exhibitions
indicates that they have a definite
value above the mere display or sale
of cars. The rapid strides of the In
dustry have been due, in a large lea
ure, to the interchange of ideas and
experience. Many of the products Of
modern automobile building are old
examples of the mechanics skill APP
piled in a new way or coward a new
purpose. Some of the manufacturers
have introduced ideas that are dis
tinctly their own. but In order to pre-
serve them to themselves they were
obliged to withhold them until the
show, so that the alert competitor
might not appropriate them.
However, modern automobile con-
struction has advanced to such an ex-
tent that changes are slight in their
nature and instead of pointing out a
few manufacturers who a been raids
cal. the shows now reveal those who
have standardized and refined their
products to the greatest degree con-
sistent with utility, good practise and
comfort. 4
The shows also are taking on added
Interest as q convention of dealers.
The manufacturers meet practically
every large dealer = this part OF the
country. In addition to having deal
ers in ate. dance at the show, they
also have the advantage of retail
buyers coming to the manufactures In
stead of the manufacturer going after
the buyers. The manufacturer and the
| dealer appreciate the shows which the
prospective motorists demand. Many
| defer their purchases until they ave
a chance to inspect the hundreds of
cars that are gathered under one roof.

RAGING NO LONGER
USEFUL, He Says
Brisc0e Advises That Attention
Be Given More Vital
Projects.

Believing that high-speed motor car
racing no longer serves a useful pur-
pose, besides bringing discredit upon
motoring and the motor car trade, Ben
jamin Briscoe, president of the United
States Motor Company, has prepared a
letter to the American Automobile As
ISOLATION advising that 1t abandon the
control of speed contests and devote
its time to the promotion and encour-
agement of touring IA reliability
contests and particularly furthering its
work for good roads, a work which the
national organization has done with
excellent result during the past five
years.
more than a year ago W. decided
that u company would not support
speed contests with the perils that are
always present at such affairs, both
from the standpoint offfhe public as
we'll as the drivers and~fl echanicians,"
said Mr.. Briscoe yesterday. There
has been every evidence that the stand
of the United States Motor Company
received general Endorsement, for since
that time there has been a further de-
crease in racing interest, a lessening
OF public support, and a general senti-
ment that much as we owe to racing
for what 1t taught us six or eight
years ago, ii is no longer needed by
the industry or the public.
at therefore seems to me Illogical
that the American Automobile Asso-
citation, that has done so much for the
motor car industry and motor car own
ers, should spend any of its time. its
fnnnnY or ,raofina IN oTt ondaox-or m
regulate or govern high-speed on
tests, when there are so few meetings
and such meager support. to say moth
ing OF the little that motor car makers
can learn from such affairs at this adj
vanced stage of the industry.
I'm the case of new makers or max
ers testing untried products there may
be something to learn from speed con-
tests, but it is a matter of record that
with comparatively few exceptions
lone of the old-time manufacturers are
indulging in contests OF speed. Many
of them, approaching the fact that the
public likes to have proved the re-
liability and endurance of motor cars
are competing in reliability int endur-
ance runs. which supply ample EVIL
dence of the leadership of American
motor cars.
Except in the case where cars of
abnormal horsepower are built our
American makers have proved that
they can build just as fast motor cars
as any manufacturer in the world. 1t
is a fact, however, that many people
dislike to buy cars that are famous in
racing because of the thought that
they may not be proper for use in tour
ing and general utility, which, after all,
is the real work of the modern vehicle
of transportation.
81 will, therefore. advise that our
national body abandon the government
Of speed contests, turning 1t over to
any organization that will care for it,
leaving the A. A. A. to continue its
good work in connection with roads,
legislation, foreign and American tour
ing maps, guide books and touring con-
tests"

FULLY EQUIPPED
CARS SELL BEST
Manager Of Elliott Ranney Co.
Tells How to Save Money
in Purchasing.

Selling cars fully equipped" says
r. B. Mann, manager of the local
branch of the A. Elliott Ranney Com
pany, ''is becoming a more general
practise every year. Nowadays few
people will dispense with top and
windshield, a great many desire con-
siderably more equipment, and If the
car purchased is quoted stripped
several hundred dollars may easily be
added to it's price for extras.
When these extras are included as
part of the regular equipment and put
on the car at the factory, the pur-
chaser is assured not only a better job
all the way round, but is likewise in
q position to save at least a hundred
in the cost of his car. Buying In such
large quantities and %equipping in a
factory where there are the best of
facilities for handling such work
makes this possible.

OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY
MERITS OF BIG MAGNETIC.

Many owners who attended the auto
mobile shows have had an excellent
chance to thoroughly see and under
stand the various parts and function
ing of the magnetic, so popular with
all manufactures.
This is done through the aid of a
large sectional view of a model f low
tension Splitdorf magnetic, which shows
at q glance to the novice the construc-
ton and duties of this ignition instru-
ment.
The armature distributor and circuit
breaker are in full view, and the owner
can see for himself exactly what duties
a magnetic performs. A working model
of the largest magnetic in the world,
weighing 800 pounds and standing near
'ly four feet high. Is an educational
feature. :

room, where they are loaded with 500
pounds of iron, the equivalent OF n
tonneau, and placed onsthe trainer to
be limbered up. The trainer consists
OF two huge wooden rollers, lowered
until the surface Is level with the floor.
The rear wheels of the car are placed
on these rollers, he front whools are
safely blocked and h engine Is start
ed. Brakes on the big wood rollers
held them back until the car is pulline
its full load. A big rotary fan beneath
the floor throws cold air on the engine
through an afr shaft. The car Is Kept
on the trainer from eight to fourteen
hours at a speed varying from thirty
to forty miles an hour. This practise
has the same effect as that of running
on a smooth road or track where there
are no bumps. Following the work on
the trainer the car Is sent on the road,
driven by an expert tester, where 1t
covers from 100 to $50 miles. The
testers duty Is to study his car care
fully and make any alterations ano
correct any defects, or turn it in TO
the proper department for that work.
Following this comes the final test,
In which the car Is carefully but quick
~ tried out by the final tester. The
car Is then sent to the paint shop,
where the chassis Is carefully gone
over. The body. new wheels and all
other parts are then assembled, and 1t

ment. There every feature of the car
is again carefully inspected and any
possible flaw Is generally discovered.

rious mechanical defect. All Of this
takes time and a big force of workmen.
The new car finally emerges with the
appearance of a fine piece Of parlor
furniture. and 1t causes the layman to
wonder when It is safely sent spinning
over bumps and distractions that look
to him as II they would spell destruc-
tion.
