LASTING SERVICE
IS GIVEN BY
HAYNES
Purchasers of Indiana Built
Car Looked After in Busi-
neSslike Manner

80 many times we hear about the
service that is extended to motor car
purchasers and try to picture in our
minds Just what this oft repeated
phraseologg of service to owners,
service after the car has been bought,
means" remarked w. B. Cochran,
president and general manager of the
Haynes Auto Sales company
In some cases it is not unlike the
prediction promises of candidates
for public office.
With the best intentions in the
world a motor car concern can not
give good service If the company or
agency has not the facilities to take
care of the minor things that will
come up for adjustment from time to
time. In this case the vaunted serv-
ice so greatly emphasized before the
sale becomes a house of cards under
actual application in the rough work
of every day use
One rule that the Haynes com
pany has always been very careful to
enforce is that no false notions or
misunderstanding between the Gus
toner and the agency arise. Always
mindful of the relations that exist
between the owners and the Haynes
company nothing is taken for
granted-there is lasting satfsfac-
ton. as service, in the Haynes sense
of the word, means just exactly that
and nothing else. It means the unri-
vailed facilities of years of factory
experience are at the call of the
Haynes owner in case something
should demand this service

JEFFERY AGENTS
EXAMINE NEW
FOUR
New Car Causes Favorable
Comment Among California
Handlers at Meeting

TheJeffery -Four" has now reached
San Francisco. The arrival of this
car was announced to the agents
throughout the coast, and yesterday
one of the largest gatherings of JEFF
ferry dealers that has ever taken place
west of Chicago was held at the San
Francisco headquarters.
In speaking of the new car, J. l.
McMullen, general manager of the
Jeffery Auto Sales company, says: Its
compactness and absolute simplicity
give II an individuality which makes
II stand out alone among the cars of
1914
THE four cylinder Jeffery will form
the chief item of production of the
factory. The car has block cast L
head motor ga x5A inches, cylinder
dimensions, and inverted cone clutch
with a clutch brake, a four speed
gearset with central control. splash
pressure motor fabrication, pressure
gasoline feed, floating drive, with
patent detachable curtains, demount-
able rims and U. S. l. cranking sys-
tenn as features of equipment
Although it is rated at only 22.5
horsepower by the s. A. E. formula, it
shows on the block 40 horsepower at
d
ute This may be considered as an
unusual showing for motor of this
size, but the relatively high eff
cheney is obtained by advanced
design, such as large valves,
each "a inches in diameter, unusually
large passages for inlet and exhaust
gas and unusually light reciproeating
parts. The pistons, for example. to-
gether with the wrist pins and piston
rings, weigh only three pounds. With
a view to increasing the power and
fiexibility of the engine, the offset
crankshaft is employed. This has been
a feature of motors from the Jeffery
plant for many years. The application
of the power thus obtained to the pro-
puIsion of the car has been worked
out with a view to getting the great
est efficiency, so that with a rela-
lively economical motor an equally
efficient transmission is obtained to
keep the cost of fuel and tires low.
ITO this end the weight of the car
as a whole has been kept down to
under 1900 pounds. It has been
made as easy running as possible
through the use of floating rear
axle with ball bearings in the wheels.
So well has this been done that the
car can be pulled over the floor with
only 40 pounds traction. When this
is compared with the tractive pun of
the model of this year in the neigh
borhood of 100 pounds ii gives an.
idea of what has been accomplished
in making 1t easy running"

NE " YORK HAS
fine AUTO SHOW

This winters New York automobile
show of the Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, which is to be held in the
Grand Central palace, will mark an
important period in the history of
the motor car industry. Never before
have the products of the industry
been shown collectively under one
roof in this country, because the
trade was divided into several camps.
due to patent litigation causing sew
eral separate shows to be held.
Not until last year was there an
open" show to which all manufac-
turers were eligible, but two build
ings, Madison Square garden and the
Grand Central palace, had to be used
to house the exhibits In order TO
see the entire show a visit to each
building was necessary. s. A. Miles.
manager of the forthcoming show.
has made arrangements in such a
way that four floors of the Grand
Central palace will be given over en-
tirely for show purposes and there
will be plenty of room, not only for
exhibitors. but to visitors to the
show. The additional floor space
available over that of last winters
double show is $4,000 square feet.
From every standpoint the national
show will be greater than its pre-
decessors. and particularly so in the
number of exhibitors who will dis
play their products. In all there
are $50 exhibitors, of which number
rs will show passenger carrying cars.
2s6 will display accessories and parts:
IL will be motorcycle exhibits and s
will be displays of electric vehicles.
Automobiles will occupy the first and
second floors and all the wall spaces
of the third floor. Electric cars will
be shown on the second floor while
accessories and motorcycles will be
shown on the fourth floor.

CADILLAC FINDS
FAVOR IN LONDON

Phil Prather,e in commenting about
the Cadillac car. referred to an article
recently published in London. He
said:
English authorities on automobile
construction and mechanics have not
only set the stamp of approval on the
1914 Cadillac's two speed direct drive
rear axle, but have taken pains to
analyze in lengthy articles its mani
fold advantages, the efficiency and
comfort 1t secures and the economies
it Affords
The article follows:
I'VE have always held the Cadillac
in the highest esteem and admired it
as criterional example of high grade
American construction. 1t is obvious
that no single gear ratio can possibly
be right for all speeds and conditions
and even a topspeed direct drive is
obviously of extra advantage If it is
duplicated. For instance, if the en-
gine were turning at 1000 revolutions
a minute, certain speed on the low
drive would be obtained. Move the
electric switch and bring the top di-
rect drive into operation, and an in
crease Of AZ per cent in speed is at
once obtained. Inversely, one can
maintain the same speed of the gear
and reduce the engine speed an equiv
alent percentage, and also effect
saving Of considerable portion of
the said percentage in petrol con-
sumption. Then, again, the friction
of the various moving parts decreases
proportionately with the speed. thus
also bringing into effect another saw
ing"

WATCH YOUR OWN LAMPS

Nothing could be more annoying
than the habit of many garage en-
ployes of forgetting to keep the oil
lamps of customers cars properly
trimmed and filed. To avoid the
risk of getting caught on the road at
nightfall with unburnable lamps 1t is
a wise precaution for the motorist
who is dependent on public garaging
to see for himself occasionally
whether the lamps have been filled or
not.

AUTO CLUB WILL!
AID OWNERS AND
Emf FORCE LAW
Northern California 0rganiza-
ton to Further Road Work
and Protect Members

With the announced policy OF
standing for law and order first, last
and all the time, so that speed laws
and traffic ordinances will be strictly
adhered to by members. the Automo-
bile club of Northern California has
just been organized. 1t is much like
the Automobile club of Southern Cali
two organizations will affiliate and
possibly combine in time.
The purposes of the new club in
clude the improvement of highways,
the encouragement of proper highway,
maintenance and cooperation with
state and municipal authorities in
enacting and enforcing reasonable
traffic ordinances. The club proposes
also to see to it that the best inter
ests of automobilists are represented
and protected before legislative bod
les.
CORPS OF ENGINEERS
The engineering department of the
club will maintain a corps of en-
gineers to patrol roads and see that
all highways are thoroughly posted
with legible signs bearing informa-
ton necessary to tourists. Accurate
maps of the roads are also to be COM
piled by the engineers, so as to fur
nish all information concerning the
condition of the roads.
The membership cards, it is in
tended, shall have a. double value:
they will serve as means of identif1ca-
ton and as a guarantee of good faith
for the payment of fines imposed. 1t
is expected, too, that they will insure
courteous treatment at hotels and
garages. The club expects that the
card will be accepted in lieu OF bail
money when necessary.
TO TAKE UP INSURANCE
The club expects ultimately to take
up mutual insurance in order to re-
duce present rates on automobiles. A
special arrangement is made whereby
the club will have Il counsel in every
county in northern California TO act
in it's behalf and that of it's members
and furnish advice and assistance
when required.
The officers of the club are: Lin S.
Church. president; Fred G.. Wright,
first vice president, DR.. O. d. Hamlin,
second vice presicent, III. b. Lyon,
treasurer. and Fred M. Franklin, sec
retary. Headquarters have been
established at the Hotel st. Francis
in this city and the Key Route inn in
Oakland. Branch quarters will be-
maintained in all OF the principal in
terror cities.
