AUTOMOBILE SHOW
SHOULDBERETAlNED
X. N. MOsher Says Canvass Re-
veals Strong Sentiment in Fa-
vOr of Continuing Exhibition
BY r. NJ. MOSHER,
luer Olds Motor Works Detrot

Manager Olds Motor Works Detroit.
The value OF the automobile show as
a permanent institution has BEEN ques-
toned by some OF the manufacturers,
and has been agitated TO such an ex-
tent that Michigan newspapers have
recently devoted many columns to the
subject. A canvass among some or
the older and best established firms,
however, makes the possibility or
abollshing the shows a very remote
issue.
The manufacturer who has a partic-
ularly desirable product Is repaid
many times the cost OF the exhibit by
having his line shown TO the desirable
public, such as are met every year AT
the shows. As an educational factor,
the public can in one week learn or
the new features, designs and quail
fications OF the various makes which
would otherwise take months, and
then the comparisons would not be
fresh in their minds as is the case
where the cars are placed so that COM
PARSONS are easy.
From the manufacturers point or
view the shows are valuable in just
as great proportion as the merit OF the
product is greater than that OF COM
petitors--for the public Is quick to
seek out those cars Of worth and the
crowds that surround some of the
booths attests TO the value OF the pub
licity and good will which the char
aster of the car merits.
The Oldsmobile has been exhibited
at all OF the big shows since the be-
ginning Of the industry and We have
had ample opportunity to gauge the
value 10 the company. We have never
failed to close with good dealers, and
take our share of orders from pros
poets at the show A canvass made
by one OF the New York papers at the
Madison Square Garden Show was
very fattering. inasmuch as the Odds
mobile company was found 10 be first
in point OF sales of six-cylnder mod
els.
One of the first Oldsmobiles ever
sold foreign country was brought
about by a show This was in the
days of the curved dash runabout, fif-
teen years ago this spring. The show
was an exhibition Of blooded horses
and contained as side line the cars
produced by three OF the pioneers in
the industry who are successful man
ufacturers today An East India prince
who attended the show was impressed
with the merits OF the OldsmObile and
placed his order for car to be
shipped to his home in India. I'm
fortunately. the boat In which the car
was shipped was struck by a typhoon
just before reaching it's destination
and the car was thrown overheard
with other freight during the panic on
shipboard. The factory at Lansing
has the mate to this car. together with
other early models, which can be seen
by all visitors to the plant, and proves
interesting as matter Of history. The
Oldsmobile will probably be the last
10 wish to see the passing OF the show
as yearly event.

SELF-STARTERS
HELD INEFFECTIVE
Buick Company Says Expert
ments with Device Prove
Unsatisfactory

"Self-Starter Facts" Is the title OF
an attractively gotten up and con
vincing booklet just issued by the
Buick Motor Co.
The company occupies the unique
position OF standing out against the
demands Of a purchasing public in
their unqualified refusal to put some
thing on their cars which in the be-
lief Of their engineers not only lacks
efficiency in Itself, but also impairs
the efficiency Of the motor.
Before finally and openly taking
the stand they do, the Buick company
states that, in addition to their own
cars, they have made thorough tests
with other starter-eQuipped cars or
medium price.
Each of these cars" reads the
pamphlet, came TO us in the highest
possible state of efficiency. both in
reference to the starter and the mo-
tor, and after giving them a limited
amount OF service under the most
favorable conditions possible, We
were surprised beyond description to
find that on not one OF the three cars
in question was the starter effective,
or would ii even partly perform the
Offices for which II was intended az
ter starting the motor less than rs
times. G
while We admit there are starters
which under favorable conditions will
start a car, there is not car on the
market today that will run as we'll
when equipped with one OF these
starters as it will without
In summing up its position, the
company makes 1t plain that they are
in no way prejudiced against self
starters, and says: ION the con-
trary, we are making every possible
effort to find starter which. in our
opinion. is as efficient and az high
grade as the balance OF a Buick au.

DEMOUNTABLE TIRE
BIG AID TO TRUCKS
Serviceability of Commercial
Vehicle Greatly Enhanced
by Wheel Improvement

No one feature OF tire progression
in connection with the development
OF the commercial vehicle has eyerted
a greater broadening influence on
truck operation than the invention Of
solid tires with practical demountable
fastenings.
Every move which increases the
operating radius OF the truck is a step
toward establishing the absolute uni
versatility Of this type OF vehicle as "A
dominating factor in handling the
worlds goods. Within the past year
il has been conclusively proven that
the truck, properly handled. can go
anywhere. And the solid demountable
tire has in large measure made this
possible.
"up to a comparatively short time
ago." says j. ID. Anderson, general
sales manager of the United States
Tire company, lit was necessary 10
keep the truck within easy range or
a base of tire supplies. This was due
TO the fact that under earlier methods
OF applying and fastening solid tire
to the wheel, special machinery and
the services of expert workmen were
required. The wheel had to be re-
moved before replacement could be
made and If the truck was in opera
ton In a remote section. the vehicle
was laid up while the wheel was being
shipped to the nearest tire station and
back again This was "A waste OF valu-
able time and had the effect Of demon
alizing delivery system and seriously
impairing the earning capacity OF the
truck
AT the present time, however. with
the proved efficiency Of the demount-
able solid tire, requirements can be
made anywhere by the driver in few
minutes time and the truck is never
out of commission for very long on
account of anything that may happen
TO its tire equipment.
This feature has particular adj
vantages for farmers, mining men aud
others who use trucks and whose bust.
ness il away from supply stations. In
fact, the sdemountable tire has made
the truck valuable in great many in.
stances where before its serviceability
had to undergo numerous setbacks."

MARION CARS HAVE
GOOD DRAINING DEVICE

Frequent drainage OF oil from the
motor crankease Is advisable. Fresh
lubricant must be added to the sup
ply at intervals, to make up for the
wear which is just as evident in oils
az In other materials, and care must
be exercised TO not have surplus of
the fluid on such occasions. On most
cars, the drain pipe for withdrawing
the WORKOUT oil Is difficult to find
and TO reach. usually requiring the
driver To crawl under the car.
Marion engineers have overcome
this difficulty by installing an ex-
tension lever handle on the drain
pipe, thus bringing the handle just
under the hood and above the dust
