electric for the new season is the

BORLAND-GRANNIs.
A new three chassis series is an
nounced by the Borland- Grannis
Company, of Chicago. Aside from
body refnements and changes in ma
terial the new series will appear as
last year The most important body
improvement has been made in the
fore drive coupe, selling at $1,000 in
e-passenger form. Three persons
are accommodated on the rear seat
and two on collapsible front seats.

of the car without interference, this
being gained by permitting either
seat to be pushed out of the way
with slight touch of the hand.
DETROIT.
For 1914 there are six models of De-
troit passenger electrics which cover
the entire field of these vehicles from
the palatial five passenger brougham
with its duplex drive to the roadster
type, the gamut including victorias in
addition to the various brougham
styles. The Detroit for next year is
a highly improved vehicle as COM
pared with the 1918, yet it is listed at
prices considerably reduced from those
prevailing during the present year,
the range extending from $1,000 to
$4,000.
Ohio electrics, in three models, prac-
tica1ly enter the 1914 selling year with
no appreciable change. The chassis
are known as the models 0, NJ. and Y,
and are practically the same through
out. The three chassis have a wheel
base of 9S1a inches and standard
tread. Two of the body types
namely, models Al and Y-have the
double drive feature which was used
by the Ohio company this year. Model
Q is a single drive car, it's front seats
being pivoted SO as to turn in any
desired direction, same as used in the
other two cars.

Electric pleasure cars of the Rauch
& Lang Carriage Company, Cleveland,
O., are characterized by a change
from bevel drive in the rear to worm
drive. This feature obtains in the
roadster, the club roadster and the
demi- brougham models, while the
town car will remain bevel gear
driven. The prices of these cars will
remain the same as last year with
the exception of the brougham. The
catch type, model ia, is offered in
FIVE passenger form. The latter comes
with three different controlling ar
rangements, one driven from the
front, another from the rear, and the

106 and 107 are the broughams and
are alike except as to seating ar
rangements, while 108 is the limou-

the Waverley line for this year. This
