STEVENS -DURYEA
CLOSED CARS
Craftsmanship, Luxury, Dis
tinction and Refinement Ex-
pressed in New Models

The Stevens-Duryea company. hav-
ing experienced the difficulty of Sc
curing in the open market inclosed
bodies meeting their exacting stand
ard in beauty. construction and finish,
erected at East Springfield new build
ings in which to manufacture their
open and inclosed bodies to prevent
the sighting of the smallest feature.
A very interesting afternoon was
spent with the representative of the
Stevens-Duryea company in this
city. and it may be said with
out contradiction that more per-
feet blending OF beautiful lines than
is signified in Stevens Duryea closed
cars is impossible to conceive
The elegant simplicity of the ex-
terror and interior finish is quite easy
TO recognize, but quite as difficult to
define. There is not a piece of ex-
posed wood In the construction of the
entire closed body; a combination of
cast and sheet aluminium is the ma
terial which serves as a covering
for the wood and steel reinforced
frame
1here are ~ surface joints nor nail
holes penetrating the surface of the
body. 1t is one continuous piece of
metal from door to door. The graceful
curves which give such a beautiful
effect are only possible with the joint
less construction.
The lavishing of scrupulous care on
the most minor details is well exem-
plihed in the use of the aluminium
water trough around the ton of their.
closed cars This water gutter has
such slope that the water is carried
rearward and forward rather than
collecting over the door openings. This
feature is an exclusive one of the
Stevens -Duryea company and one that

FEATURE:
Motor Space Is Reduced and
Fuel Conserved by 1914
Innovation

"In these days of innovations and
quick transitions" says a recent edi-
toriaI in the Automobile, one of the
authorities OF the industry, cit is ques-
tionable If the two speed axle. now
that it has been announced by the
Cadillac company will not be taken
up with avidity The two speed axle
is more needed today than ever be
fore, first because cars are being made
heavier and motors smaller, and sec
ond because fuel consumption is be-
ing given more consideration than
ever before.
There is need for greater fuel econ
omy. as many cars are entirely too
eytravagant on fuel. The reduction in
&otor dimensions tends TO reduce the
fuel consumed, but the added weights
place handicap on 1t. The two speed
axle. used in conjunction with a
three or four speed gearbox, will give
all the speed variations that present
good conditions demand
The two speed axle is most neces-
sary in level as well as in hilly coun-
tries. and ii is particularly necessary
where there is much driving in cities
and also in the open country Hosts
time in the city. others 30 per cent of
the time in the open, and both have
the same gear ratio. With city driv-
ing at IS miles per hour and country
driving around 25 or 80 miles per hour
il is certain that in both cases the
motor can not be operating within its
range of maximum efficiency. If its
efficiency range suits the city field.
then il does not suit the country sit
uation so well, and vice versa. The
two speed axle meets these require
ments and gives each owner direct
drive. Not only Will the motor have a
longer life. but the wear and strain
on all of the other parts Of the car
Will be correspondingly reduced.
For hilly countries there is ample
necessity for two direct drives, as
AFFORDED by the two speed axle. In
many states there Is entirely too much
second speed work on hills whichEiS
made necessary by the bad approaches
and the frequent rough bridge where
the ascent begins. Some drivers will
rush the rough approach and the
rough bridge at the expense of the
tires and the car in general, while
many prefer to practically slow down
and make the hill on second or per
hsps low.
The value of the two speed axls
becomes more apparent also because
Of the more general use of high speed
smaller sized motors With these mo-
tors ii is essential to keep the speed
Nell up on the hills as, If 1t drops, low
gear will have to be brought into use
the two speed axle will offer double
opportunity in such work.
