MOTORCYCLE ADMIRERS
Two Wheeled "Steedp Found to Be
Great Saving Over Old

KEEP COSTS LESS THAN HORSE

''It is becoming more generally realized
that the motorcycle is not only a pleasure
vehicle" says $. A. Falor, manager mo-
torcycle tire department, the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company. Akron. Ohio,
but that it also well serves an impor-
tant purpose in the business field.
THE motorcycle is especially adapted
TO many uses where rapid transit Is
necessary. One OF the mUst recent places
where the motorcycle has been found a
paying proposition is on the farm. In an
unlimited number OF ways II can be Of
great help to farmers. The ability Of the
motorcycle to cover the ground quickly
makes il possible for the farmer to send
to town for parts of machinery or sup
plies and have them 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 motorcycle an eN-
ira 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
wealthy farmers. but with those OF mod
crate means. Many farmers felt they
could not afford to invest as much money
as it takes to buy an automobile. The
first cost of a motorcycle is no more
than that OF a good horse. and the up
keep cost OF il has been found to be
about one-fifth of the cost of boarding
the average horse.
1T has been prophesied that il will
be only a few years until the motorcycle
will be considered necessary equipment

OUTSTANDING LOzIER
STOCK TO Be TAKEN
Directors Approve Step to Increase
Manufacturing Facilities
for 1914.
1918 RECORD YEAR OF COMPANY

Directors of the Lozier Motor Com
pany, in session at Detroit last week.
voted to take up all outstanding stock to
increase the manufacturing facilities of
the Lozier Company for 1914. 1t was
purely an internal affair, no stock being
offered TO the public. The subscription
was in the nature of an appreciation of
the manner in which LozieT business has
thrived under the new regime.
At the meeting of directors il was an
nounced that as a starter for 1914 busi-
ness, Lozier dealers have already signed
orders for more than 5000 cars The new
four-cylinder car in the popular priced
field, just announced by Lozier. has
proved the biggest sensation ever brought
out by that company, Although the first
of those models will not be turned out
until after January l, Lozier dealers in
all sections of the country have notified
the Detroit offices that they are taking
cash deposits from customers months in
advance. If no more orders were re-
ceived from Lozier dealers, the number
now on hand would be sufficient to make
1914 a record year for the Lozier Com
pany.
During the coming year the Lozier
Company will manufacture two models,
the six-cyfinder car selling at $3.50 and
the four at $2.10o Funds from the sale
of the stock to Lozier directors will be
Immediately available for the business
and will result in larger orders for the
material and accessory firms which have
been supplying the needs of the company.
The changing over of the two big Lozier
plants from a small yearly output to a
quantity production basis has been al
most completed and the factories will be
in full working operation by October !.

AUTO DEALERS Doing
1914 SHOPPING EARLY
Studebaker Factory Has Sold in Ad-
vance Every Car They Can
Build for Months.
CLOSED MODELS ARE POPULAR

Having sold in advance every car which
its plants can build from now until Sep
tember, 1914, Sales Manager Benson, of
the Studebaker corporation. has gone on
record with the prediction that the COM
ing seasons business is destined to reach
even greater dimensions than that Of the
fiscal year which has just closed. The
statement is made despite the fact that
now and throughout 1918. the Studebaker
plants have worked without pause and
much of the time with night shifts,
vainly endeavoring to build as many cars
as Studebaker dealers were demanding.
We have entered on our new fiscal
year with confidence that our dealers
have correctly estimated their local fields
in the renewed contracts they have made
with this company" declares Mr.. Benson.
Il am basing this prediction on the
known ability of a great body of expert
enced business men who have carefully
estimated local conditions in more than
600 cities in the country. / know that
they are not obngating themselves IN
ways which are likely to prove ill-advised.
No such body of men can present so
united front on any such estimate.
without coming very close TO estimating
actual conditions.
THE present activities at our plants
from which We are daily shipping train
loads of cars for rail- delNeTN, Is 4 iut-
ther confirmation of confidence. II is also
evidence that proves the wisdom OF many
automobile buyers in electing to make
their choice at a time when they and
the dealer are able to go carefully into
the details of the cars, and when the
dealer is able to guarantee immediate
delivery. This is tendency born of long
experience and observation. II will be
as difficult to secure the prompt delivery
