AME ER|CAN CARS
PASS ALL TESTS
Fear That the Underslungs
Would Be Delayed Is
Disproved in Tour
Steep Grades and Rocky
"Hogback" Roads Have
No TerrorS

One of the chief features of the
Indiana Pacific tour is the wonderful
performance of the American under
slung cars in crossing the Rocky noun
tains
The steep grades and high eleva-
tions Of the Rockies cleared tonight.
The two Americans did not falter once.
Was a fine test for the underslung cars
and they came through In perfect
shape"
The above is an extract from a tele-
gram sent to the American California
Motors company of San Francisco by
a special representative in the Indian
apolis-Pacific coast tour. In long
night message from Glenwood Springs,
Colo, the representative points out the
fact that these two American under
sIung cars have completely upset the
calculations Of a number of people who
thought it impossible for the car to
clear the terrible rocks and bunkers
that are found in these mountain trails.
Another significant fact that brought
joy to the drivers of the American cars
was that theyswere among the few to
pass through the day without experience
ing carburetor trouble. In this they were
extremely fortunate, as many OF the
drivers found it almost impossible to
get any adjustment of their car
buretors that would enable them to
climb the steep grades.
Now that the Indiana Pacific trail
finders have successfully passed this
portion of their long journey. they have
little fear as to the ability of their
cars to reach the coast. Throughout
the trip the tourists have been royalty
entertained each succeeding city try
ing to outdo the other in giving them
a rousing welcome.

OLDFIELD PURCHASES
MERCER CAR FOR RACE
'DaredevII" VIII Use Machine In Santa
Monica Race on August 9

Barney Oldfeld the old man of the
racing field (not pun, but fact), has
purchased from the Mercer factory the
<-4S Mercer racing car No. 81, which
Caleb Bragg drove in the 500 mile race
classic held at the indianapolis speed
wa My 30" says Bert Latham os
the Simplex Mercer company of San
Francisco.
The big car has been shipped to
Santa Monica, where Oldfield will be-
gin tuning it up for the 445 mile race
in which it is entered August 9. The
famous course is in better shape than
over before, and on the long, beau
cars Will no doubt roll up to 120 miles
per hour.
Oldfeld expects to go faster than
that with the Mercer. At Indianapolis,
before shipping the car to California,
he tested it's speed on the speedway.
On the short stretches of the speed
way-short as compared with those at
Santa Monica-Oldfeld attained a speed
of 11e miles an hour without running
wide open.
The $4,000 hung up this year as a
bonus to the car that breaks the rec
ord now held by Teddy Tetzlan looks
mighty good to Barney and in ad-
dition to winning the contest he will
drive the little Mercer at an almost
inconceivable pace.

RACING MAN IS
REGAL BOOSTER
w. G. Collins, Well Known
in Motorcycle World,
Tells of Experience

Walter G. Collins, well known as
motorcycle racing man is. in his way
the most enthusiastic booster Frank
Renstrom, the Regal Underslung dis
tributer, has. And yet Collins is an
unusually quiet man. and seldom has
anything to say, unless first spoken to.
Walter is on the road for the United
States Tire company. and is the only
tire salesman who covers every town
in his territory regardless of Its dis
tance from the railroad. This he is
enabled to do because of the fact that
he drives Regal car, and to hear him
tell it, that car can do everything but
talk.
Collins has been driving a Regal
Underslung for many moons. but four
weeks ago the United States people
bought him a new car. His first trip
with the new car caused him to roll up
a mileage of 1858 miles, this in little
less than four weeks. No claim Is
made that this is a large mileage, but
the fact that 1t was through the noun
famous counties of Mariposa. Mono,
MADEIRA Tuolumne. Alpine. Calaveras
and Amador where railroads are prac-
tically unknown. and where the roads
are only burro trails and cow paths,
occasions a feeling of admiration for
the little Regal that was able to nego-
tiate such rough going.
THE Regal fractured one record on
this trip" Mr.. Collins observed. When
I arrived at Angels Camp, the auto
mobile men there told me that it would
be impossible for me to drive to the
Calaveras big trees, the point / wanted
to reach. They said that no under
slung car could clear the big rocks and
stumps along the trail, and that but
few cars had made the trip this year.
and that they had all been big. high
powered cars. When any one takes a
fling at my Regal, I just want TO show
them. I found that the best time made
between Angels Camp and the hotel at
Big Trees was l hour and so minutes,
and while I had no intention of going
after this record, / found the Regal
making such good time that when 1
telephoned back to Angels Camp from
the hotel at Big Trees my time was
only l hour and 80 minutes. That beat
the record by 20 minutes, and after
my return to Angels Camp there GER
tainly was some interest taken in the
Regal. 1t means a Regal dealer there
and the sale Of several Regal cars.
Regarding the mileage, I made AL
miles on this trip to Calaveras county
out OF IT gallons Of gas. You can fig
ure It out for yourself Some of the
BTdOes L lOOk were d Tight ouc 3 dOc
at Melone's which is about midway
between Sonora and Angels Camp,
crosses the Stanislaus river, a fearful
drop down, and a climb up on the
other side that is enough to make the
heart Of the stoutest car stop beating.
This grade is a % per cent grade, and
you know the Fillmore street hills are
only % to 27. l not only took that 29
per cent grade, but had live. full grown
people hanging on the roadster just
to show what 1t would do. There were
two fellows on the seat with me, and
one on each running board"

HIGHWAYS FOR TOURISTS
Tire and Rubber Firm Also
Helps Dealers to Ad-
vertise Wares

The progressive tire dealer of today
is much different from the average
dealer of several years ago. Their bus
mess methods are changed entirely,
and they are all rapidly realizing the
Importance of advertising.
The bigger tire companies are largely
responsible for raising the level of the
dealers business. Their advertising g
departments are constantly offering
suggestions whereby the dealer can in
crease his sales and build a permanent
clientele.
The Firestone Tire and Rubber COM
pany has gone a step further by offer
ing to their dealers absolutely free of
charge imprinted metal or muslin road
signs. This is saving the dealer 100 per
cent on this form of publicity. and 1t
has proven great thing for the deal
ers who sell Firestone tires
This enables the dealer to mark all
the highways leading into his town and
the motorist in need of tire or other
sundry is thus directed right to the
dealers door.

gain Of $267,0 over the corresponding
period last year. The record month was

1900 LQz|ERS ARE
SOLD IN ONE WEEK
Register Of Sales in Four
Cities Constitutes Record
for High Priced Cars

Memories Of the good old days in
the automobile industry when the cars
sold themselves were revived for the
Lozier Motor company in the last
week." says Milo Beekins. at the head
of the Lozier company in San Fran
cisco
Before any sign of a dealers cam
paign was in evidence, more than 1900
of the new four cylinder Loziers were
contracted for by dealers in four cities
alone
1--WE are more than pleased with the
result of the Loziers first entry into
the popular price market. The fact
that this is the first Lozier car to be
offered at a popular price is probably
why the demand for 1t is so keen.
The returns from Lozier dealers who
have had years of experience in han
ding fours and skies would indicate
that they are in favor of a four CYL
Under model OF Lozier quality as
against the same price car of six CYL
inders for 1914. The dealers are the
ones who should thoroughly know the
popular drift of public thought in re-
far we feel convinced that the factory
was right in It's decision to Introduce
a four cylinder car of Lozier quality
at a popular price.
Our travelling sales force in all sec
tions Of the country are signing up
agents and dealers a. a great rate. and
in each case the dealer has doubled
and even tripled the number of cars
specified IN his last years contract We
have ample proof from this that the
Lozier company has picked a winner
in the new popular priced -Four.
The contracting of more than 1900
cars in one week and from four cities
alone. constitutes a new record for the
Lozier company, which has heretofore
manufactured exclusively high priced
cars. The two big Lozier plants, al
Detroit, and Plattsburg, N. Y, will be
placed on a quantity production sched-
ule within a very short time and the
manufacture of the new Four will be-
gin early this fall"
