TWO ADDITIONS ARE
MADE TOL|NE SOLD
BY LOCAL CONCERN
G. R. CoWie Co. Announces New
6-cyIinder Cole and Lighting
System Change. .r.

The G. r. Cowie Company, of which
Gordon r. Cowic. a nephew of Paymas-
ter General Cowie, of the Navy, is the
head, is numbered among the leading
motor car firms of this city. The COM
pany handles Cole and Lozier cars and
maintains an extensive service depart
ment.
Two noteworthy additions have been
made to the Cole line for the present
season. The first is a new siX-cylinder
car, and the second is the adoption of
the Delco system of lighting starting
and ignition on all models. In 1912
the Cole so made its debut, with the
Cole 40 continued in its second series.
This year these cars are continued in
their second and third series, respec-
lively, and the six is added.
The new oiling system adopted last
season is still to be found on the cur
rent models. A change has been made
in the dual system, gravity feed having
given way to pressure feed, with the
tank hung below the frame of the car.
The new six" follows the lines Of
the ''fours'' in all but the number of
cylinders, the increased size and minor
structural differences. 1t employs six
cylinders cast in pairs. with inclosed
valves all on one side, with the crank
shaft supported on four bearings. The
engine. clutch and fywheeI are an in
bodies have been refined and all con-
cave surfaces eliminated. A new dash
arrangement is provided, which is un-
usually clean. all gauges, switches, etc.
being brought forward on the extended
rim of the cowl.
The Cowie Company will have a
complete exhibit of cars at the auto
mobile show next week.

new COMPANY HAS
MADE ITSELF FELT
IN MOTOR CIRCLES
Miller Firm, Handling Stutz Car,
Has Become Well Known in
Short Time.

One of the new automobile firms in
Washington that is making its influ-
ence felt is the Miller COMPANY, occu-
pying a salesroom at 1926 Connecticut
avenue and handling the Stutz car The
members OF the firm are we'll known in
business circles, and since their entry
into the automobile industry they have
given the Stutz car decided impetus.
Announcement vas made late last fall
OF new Stutz model with six cylin-
ders. which. as 1919 model. IS added to
the output of fours OF the Indianapolis
factory. The Ideal Motor Company is
not an exponent of yearly models. and
the original Stutz is 20 be. continued for
1913 with only such changes as are con-
sistent with logical development. The
six was developed along the lines laid
out by the four, although of larger di-
mensions, and altered proportions TO
adapt it to the six-cylinder motor.
With cylinders "a by >, valves on op-
posite sides and cylinders cast in pairs,

Ignition on the touring and runabout
models of the four are the same, re-

choice of .csrbureters is optional with
the purchaser.
Stutz bodies for. 1915 include six-pas-
senger bodies for both models. Bearcat
roadsters for both models. and a four
passenger car for the four. No five
passenger bodies are built because of
the unsightliness of the wide tonneauN
essential to such arrangements. The

for the Series b, and larger rear

SAYS PRICE OF CAR
!: MOST IMPORTANT .
.8A- IN BUYING MOTOR
Overland Official Asserts Money
Value Considered First,
Quality AfterWard.

How does the prospective purchaser
of an automobile choose a car? Sales
managers and statesmen have discussed
this question forward and back, up ard
down and crosswise ever since the first
automobile was placed on the market.
There are thousand and one formu-
las given by competent and incompe-
tent. shrewd and dull statesmen. Gray
hair is much more plentiful among men
who sell motor cars because of that one
question. While there will always be
a difference of opinion. the observa-
tions of George w. Bennett. vice presi-
dent of the Overland Company, based
on long, careful and scientific study of
the problem, have brought forth the
following conclusions:
THE first thing a prospective pUr-
chaser considers is price" said Mr..
Bennett, who is one of the veterans or
the trade He looks over the field
until he finds the car lie knows he can
afford. If he is a wealthy man he
naturally turns to the high-priced
American and foreign-made cars.
-"If of only moderate means the cheap
and medium-priced offerings instantly
attract him. He decides on the price
he wishes to pay and then begins the
process of elimination by which the
to him-undesirable cars are thrown out
and one or more makes left for fur
ther investigation.
After price, in most cases, but be-
fore it in many, comes quality. The
prospective buyer studies construction,
material and workmanship. He reads
the advertisements of various makers
and asks his friends who already own
cars q multitude of questions. The
automobile which offers the best in ma
terials and finish finally gains his un-
divided attention.
After that. it is a case of the firm
back of his favorite car. He reads and
talks automobile manufacture and
manufacturers until he knows whether|
the firm he has in mind is made up of
solid, successful business, men, with
regulations for honesty of endeavor
and product, or are newcomers in the
field. or worse, incompetents. Such an
usually leaves one firm
in his mind.
Then local conditions attract him. |
He sees and judges the responsibility |
of the dealer of whom he will purchase. |
He finds out IL that dealer will be able |
to give him the service he mas q right
TO expect. If the dealer has large |
supply. of parts. modern shop and
efficient workmen, his stock has been
boosted with the prospec- |
tive customer, and all other investigA- |
tions having proved satisfactory, his is |
the car which will be chosen.
The Washington times., 1913-02-01

No business is more dependent on the
good will OF its patrons than the motor
car industry. The relation between the
car owner and the factory management
is always close. and the advertising
that counts most is that man-to-man,
word-of-mouth advertising which eN-
presses itself when every customer is
in a friendly state of mind.
One of the basic rules OF action
should be that YOU cannot buy the
good will of a customer" says H. B.
Joy. president of one of the largest
automobile factories in the country If
good will is not deserved by the quality
of the car, the business methods under
which il is marketed and the service
rendered after its sale, there is no way
in which it can be obtained.
Friends Influence.
The man who contemplates the rur-
chase of an automobile will be infiu-
enced more by the spoken verdict of an
acquaintance than by all the arguments
the manufacturer can bring to bear.
Don't buy that make of carr says
friend. My uncle in Baltimore
bought one three years ago and his
repair bills were something fierce. He
says he wouldn't take another one OF
those cars as a gift. He found out
after he had paid for his car that, If
he had hung off a little longer he
could have bought il for less. Then
the transmission went wrong through
no fault of his, and the company simply
ignored his requests that they make il
right
That's enough for the prospective

Use GasoIene to
Clean CIogged Pipes

Oil leads and pipes sometimes get
clogged with deposits of waXy SUBJ
stances, separated from the oil. A good
way to. clean this deposit is to take
the pipe down. fill it with gasolene and
plug it. Let it stand few hours. or
a day, II possible. Then take a grease
gun, or tire pump and force air
through the pipe. Pressure may be
raised by closing the end of the pipe,
giving a few strokes of the pump.
Then suddenly releasing the pressure
will result in the deposit being blown
out.

Ordinary Jack Help
In Pulling Off Wheels

An ordinary jack may be transformed
into very efficient wheel-puller in case
of emergency. with the assistance of
rope. Loop the rope around two oppo-
site spokes OF the wheel and then around
the base of the jack.
Place a small pience of wood between
the head OF the jack and the end of the
axle, and then pump the jack handle as
usual. being careful TO hold the jack
perpendicular to the wheel with the
land or by propping it up with stick.
The increased leverage of the jack will
make the removal of the wheel an easy
matter.

Economy and Integrity
Needs in Motor Truck

The elements to be sought in motor

makers of the country, are economy OF

ical tire wear. day-after-day service
with least attention and smallest re-
placement of wearing parts, ease OF

for the purpose of inspection.
Ample service facilities. strong

reputation for business integrity are
also elements to be considered by the
prospective truck purchaser.
