TO COST
MUCH LESS next YEAR
]. N. Cram. Secretary of the LP-c'
Motor Company, Tells Convention
of Present Tendency.
~sn" THE POPULAR MODEL.

Pointing the way toward reduction In
the price Of motor cars next year are
such big-vaiue, moderate-priced auto
mobiles as the new Lewis Six" accord
ing to a statement by Secretary J. n.
Cram. of the L-P-C Motor Company
at q convention Of automobile dealers In
Chicago.
Evidencins that trend is the new S.soo
Lewis six" a six-cylinder automobile Of
lS-inch wheel base. fully equipped with
every convenience and luxury that own
ers of high-priced cars insist upon.
"The new Lewis is the greatest auto
mobile value the American market has
ever known" Mr.. Cram stated. and the
assembled dealers agreed with him.
This Is the first instance In the history
Of the automobile industry when a car
or this class has been offered at less than
600 and as a consequence next year
win see more manufacturers following
the big value pace thus set in cars of the
six-cylinder type. 1t is the lowest priced
six of its size and equipment that Is Of
fered today.
This Is important to the automobile in
dustry. for all engineering progress has
been made by the more progressive max
ers. They are the men who see ahead and
are In the market year earlier with the
desired cars. Invariably the trend they
establish Is followed by other manufac-
turers. This was so in the heyday OF the
four-cylinder car. and back In the old
two-cylinder and single cylinder epoch of
the motor car industry. II IL the history
OF every industry.
The man who drives a six gets prob
ably IS per cent more value out Of his car.
He uses It more because IL Is the most
fascinating thing in the world to drive
six The Joy of driving q six grips a
man-the pleasure Of the experience does
not wear OF. either. IL Is more the senss-
ton Of flying rather than being propelled
by machinery. for instead of the power
gaps that come between the four sue
cessive explosions in a four-cylinder
motor. you get a constant stream of pow
er. for the explosions in a six-cylinder
motor overlap each other. There are no
gaps between the impulses that are de-
iivered to the rear wheels. That in itself
Is q big extra value, which is procurable
nov at the price Of the four-cylinder car"

0NE-ARMED CHAUFFEUR
PROUD OF CLEVERNESS
W. B. Smith, of Unadilla, N. Y. Tells
of Ease in Driving and Caring
for His Resal Car.

W. B. Smith, of UnadiIla, N. Y, claims
the distinction of being the only licensed
chauffeur in the State Of New York hay-
ing but one arm. Also he is proud OF
the fact that he not only drives a Regal
EAR, but does all the work himself that
is necessary in connection with keeping
4 motor car in perfect condition. Mr..
Smith says:
ut may sound like difficult thing, but
I have never experienced any real trou-
bic in driving the car. Handicapped as
am by the loss of an arm, ] can drive
anywhere / want to go, and am certain
Of getting back. No road is too rough for
me, and have passed many larger car
On the road. I have never had the car In
the repair shop, having been able to do
all the necessary work myself. In all the
driving have done in the past two years,
[ have never been forced to leave the car
on the roac-have never been towed in. :"

TOOK PREMIER Agency |
AFTER CAREFUL INQUIRY
E. K. Fox Enthusiastic Over Car and
Its Record-breakins Per-
formances.
FIRST TO HAVE SHAFT DRIVE

Z. X. Fox, who put the Premier on the
map in the National Capital. expressed
himself most enthusiastically about the
Premier car and its record breaking tour
ing performances. He states he took on
the Premier line only after making q
thorough Investigation into every detail
that goes into the car. which has repu-
taton second to none In the country as
steady machine. capable OF negotiating
all sorts OF roads. One thing that at
tracted him to the Premier was the fact
that the official car OF the National High
ways Association has been driven by A.
L. westward, vice president OF the ASSOC
citation. over 1900 miles. on physical
examination OF the association system Of
national highways all over the United
States.
westward incidentally has had four
Premier cars as an Individual owner and
Is choosing the Premier to carry him
over the worst roads in the country, since
II is his object to ferret out routes ire
spective OF present road conditions. He
stated when he made the purchase that
ne wanted "a car that always would run
and run when hundreds of miles from
civilization, up In the mountains, on the
dreary plains, and on the 'plowed field
roads OF the South Mr.. westgard at
the Chicago show stated that he had
forgotten TO think about the car now"
An interesting fact In connection with
the Premier Is that this car was the
first In the world to have a shaft drive.
the FIRST real American feature adopted
by European manufacturers The Premier
also was the first car In America to have
solid. one-piece forged front axle. In
1906 the Premier adopted a multiple disc
clutch, which has been almost universally
adopted since. The Premier also was
among the first to see and take advantage
Of the six-cylinder engine.
The record Of the Premier cars in the
Glidden tours also did much TO convince
Mr.. Fox. The results and experience
gained from these contests made possible
the trip Of twelve Premiers driven by
their private owners from Atlantic City.
y. J., to the Pacific Coast in 1911. Had
twelve cars Of twelve different makes.
driven by factory experts, made the trip
as successfully as did the Premiers driven
by their private owners. the affair GER
tainly would have been wonderful-had
twelve cars of the same make made the
trip driven by the twelve best drivers in
the world II would have been wonderful.
but for twelve amateurs to start of on
a trip OF over $500 miles. to be exact,
4.6lT.s miles. without mechanics, one
driver had never changed a tire, is little
short OF miraculous However. here Is
the record: Twelve of them. ranging in
models of over three years. made the trip
OF 4.slL6 miles in forty-five days. Their
average mileage for each running day
was 1s5 II miles. Never in the history OF
the industry has there been such a test
put to a number OF stock automobiles
states Mr.. Fox, and when he made his
decision to handle Premier. that fact was
In his mind.
