This seeming contradiction of an In.
creased trend toward tho light six, In
view of the superior number OF new

that the light fours arc the result OF

els oncrcd the motOr-buying public as
there are four-cyl!nder models. Motor
Age for the past two years has pre-
dicted that In 1915 the six would super

ed These predictions will prove cor
rect unless the manufacturers who have
not announced their next seasons prod

tho way. Is practically an impossibility.
So far as tho actual number OF cars
which will be sold during 1915 Is CON

1915 VIII buy four cylinder ones just az

Whenever preliminary discsts of the
motor car market for the succeeding
season are made, II has been tho Gus
tom for the past three or four years to
begin the article with statement
something like this: Lighter cars at
lower cost" until one might be led to
the hasty conclusion that before very
long the cars would weigh nothing at
all and would cost proportionately
Such an ideal state of affairs is not &c
be hoped for. but the fact remains that
there is Il steady reduction each season
in the weight OF cars ~ "A whole In
their first cost, and In their cost pei
