MAXWELL MOTOR 800 HOUR RUN.
Test Equivalent to More Than 1000
Miles of Road Work.

Three hundred hour tests have come TO
be quite the fashion nowadays among
motor car makers In demonstrating the
running qualities and stability of their
product. To date practically all motors
subjected to this strenuous form Of test
have been included In the high priced
class. Now comes Chief Engineer Benner
OF the Maxwell company with details of a
recent 800 hour private trial given Max
well 20 motor in the Detroit laboratory
OF the company.
Placed on the dynamometer stand on
Tuesday, the motor was put in operation
at y. NJ, and ran continuously until
the following Monday morning When
stopped at 3 A. NJ on Monday the motor
had run 307 hours. or an equivalent of
1875 miles. During this period the motor
was subjected TO a load OF 10 horse
power and operated at a speed OF 900
revolutions minute. Expressed in
terms more Ineligible to the layman,
this would pull the car with its fun

SEVERE WINTER BOOSTS
MOTOR TRUCK SALES
Showing in Storms and Biz
yards Forces Horse Users
to MOtOriZe Deliveries.
~ ". X. CHlLCOTT,
General Motors Truck Company,


The unusual severity OF the past winter
has. In my opinion. been one OF the
largest factors In the big Increase over
any similar period in tho number OF
motor trucks that were bought and
placed in operation In this country. 1t
seems that these two things have largely
run parallel--severe weather and motor
truck sales. In fact. business concerns in
many instances simply had to buy motor
trucks in order to get their goods de-
livered on time. keep their customers
satisfied and meet competition OF other
concerns in the same line OF business
The contrast between horse efficiency
and motor truck efficiency In transporta-
ton work was never before so clearly
demonstrated as during the recent winter
months. Concerns that used horses
found their delivery departments often
crippled. while tho users OF motor trucks
kept their goods moving on schedule
practically the same as Ia other months
OF the year The best evidence. OF course
has been furnished by those concerns that
employ both motor trucks and horses
Investigations made and statistics com
piled show that GMC trucks working side
by side with horses-the ideal way after
all to make COMPREHENSIVE far bet
ter service at a much less delivery cost
than the horses.
While horses slipped down on icy
streets and horse vehicles were stuck in
the deep SHOWS motor trucks ran along
as usual. adhering to their schedule.
Storms and billiards. made no difference
in the performances Of trucks. as Is
shown by reports coming from New
York. New England and other sections
where trs nsportation facilities were hard
hit and In some respects we're completely
paraiyzed.

ously been one OF lis strong points now
made the seat uncomfortable.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
a change In the style OF corsets had
caused the trouble. The seat had been
built TO ~ curving back and backs had
suddenly become straight This was at
once corrected by design adapted to the
new corsets. And the man at the Peerless
plant who is responsible for these things
negotiated with a prominent corset manu-
sacturer whereby he viii receive Az far in

change In corset styles.
The Importance OF wonen's influence on
car finish is spoken OF also by John n.
WHY'S. maker OF the Willys-k knight car
"The lady OF fashion Is responsible for
motor car styles, just much az for
millinery styles. An analysis of the
modern automobile will show scores OF
features which tho demand OF the modern
woman has made imperative. The cleo

other construction designs are directly
traceable 10 the needs of woman

venlent to crank her car, and later her
husband carried her demand for a

The manufacturer responded nob!y and

MUSHROOM"
IS THE AUTO BUSINESS
70 Judge From Figures, 1t Is
Hardly in Danger Of
Extinction. -,

"And still there are some people who
insist that the automobile industry 10 a
mushrooms growth. subject to the slight
est variations In business conditions and
likely TO take a fatal slump on the very
shortest notice." said John N WHY'S,
president OF the WHY'S Overland Company
OF Toledo. Ohio, after reading a report
made recently by a committee at a meet
ing Of the Chicago Association Of Com
merce. ITO such people I can only say
one thing: Read the report There Is
enough information In this single docu-
ment TO set at rest tho fears Of even
the most ignorant and the most con-
Armed pessmtst. And the Information
- backed by the indisputable evidence of
figures too.
The report shows that approximately
$500. 10000 will be spent IN this coun-
try during 1914 for automobiles. The
developments of past years show US that
the percentage OF buyers who cannot at
ford to purhase cars is so small as to
be unimportant. In view OF this fact
the total shows a pretty good refutatlon
Of the claim that any money that might
better be spent for bread is going into
automobiles.
Here's another set of figures that are
Interesting. The report shows that the
combined horsepower OF all the motors
built In the United States this year Is
practically eichty-three times as great as
the $4,000 horsepower developed by the
great water power dam at keokuk. Ia.
know these figures are correct for the
10000 Overlands which are being built
IN our Toledo plant alone have COM
bined horsepower over Ave and one-half
times as great as the dam.
"The State OF California has an auto
mobile to every twenty-five inhabitants

Ooo. 900 worth OF automobiles. New York
State alone has more cars registered than
are in use in Germany and France com
bined and both these countries have al
ways been regarded as pioneers In the
production Of motor propelled vehicles.
"All these figures are authentic. There
arc scores of other compilations which
might be made. showing that hundreds

country are making better living out
