that now and throughout 1918. the
Studebaker plants have worked with

night shifts, vainly endeavoring TO
build as many cars as Studebaker
dealers were demanding to fill their
uninterrupted flow OF retail orders.

Detroit and Toledo have much In
common. The progress OF this city
has helped our sister city TO the
south, of course, because as our chan
nels OF trade have expanded, these
arteries OF commerce have run TO
Toledo as well as other centers. And
whatever expansion Toledo may
make, Detroit Is benefited, because We
are bound TO feel the stimulus OF this
development through the same chan

COST OF RUNNING
CARS TO BE LOWER

That even though gasoline costs go
higher, motor car maintenance is go
ing lower. Is the belief Of "Trainload"
Collins. general sales manager OF the
Buick Company Of Flint. He says:
Il predict that 1t will only be q
short time, even If there IL still
further advance In the cost OF gaso-
line, that automobile users In gen.
eral will be operating both four and
six cylinder cars at less cost per
mile insofar as gasoline is concern
cd than when gasoline could be pur-
chased around 12 cents per gallon.
There Is already substantial evidence
that unusual success has attended the
efforts of some few automobile en-
gineers I'm the way of increased er-
ficiency in carboration and ignition,
all Of which of course. tends TO cut
down consumption"
Mr.. Collins has just returned from
q 2,500-mile trip east with his family
in the new Buick Six. The average
gasoline consumption for the entire
distance was IL 1-2 miles 10 the gal

MOTORCYCLES ON
MODERN FARMS
Serves an Important Purpose In
That Field, Says S. A. FalOr,
of Goodyear Tire Co.

1T Is becoming more generally
realized that the motorcycle II not
only pleasure vehicle" says s. A.
Falor, manager motorcycle tire de-
partment, the Goodyear Tire 4 Rub
Der CO.. Akron. Ohio, but that 1t also
well serves an important purpose In
the business field.
The motorcycle Is especially adapt
ed to many uses where rapid transit
is necessary. One Of the most recent
places where the motorcycle has been
found a paying proposition is on the
farm. In an unlimited number OF
ways 1t can be OF great help to
farmers. The ability Of the motorcycle
to cover the ground quickly makes II
possible for the farmer to send to
town for parts Of machinery or sup
plies. and have than back In quick
time.
With the motorcycle this trip can
be made by one man without loss OF
time on the part Of any of the horses
or farm hands. Without the motor.
cycle an extra horse has to be kept
or one has to be taken from work In
the field to make trips Of this kind.
1T has met with favor not only
with the wealthy farmers but with
those Of moderate means. Many
farmers felt they could not AFFORD "a
invest as much monsy a. Il takes tc
buy an automobile. The first cost OF
a motorcycle Is no more than that OF
a good horse, and the up-keep cost Of
II has been found to be about one NTH
OF the cost Of boarding the average
horse.
1T has been prophesied that 1t will
be- only q few years until the motor
cycle will be considered necessary
equipment on every farm in the
United States"

MARION TO INVADE
TOWN CAR FIELD

Announcing two types Of Marion
closed cars, four-passenger coupe
and q fve-passenger sedan, the Mar
ion Motor Car Co. last week made
known Its intention to enter the town
car field this fall. These two types
OF bodies are mounted on either the
four or six-cylinder chassis, thereby
adding practically four new models
20 the Marion line.
During the eleven years OF Its sue
cessful career. the Marion company
has devoted It's energies entirely TO
open body cars It's entrance to the
closed car market Is. therefore, OF
more than passing interest.
All tho characteristics OF the 1914
-Four" and six" Marion chassis are
preserved In both closed types, each
being equipped with electric, self
starting and lighting systems. includ-
ing dome and speedometer lights,
with dash carburetor adjustment and
gasoline feed pressure pump. All In
struments are easily within reach oil
the operator. These features. conf
bined with left side drive and center
control. make these especially roomy
town cars most notable additions to
the ranks OF American closed cars
for the season. They mark decided
advance In this type OF car.
