LEWIS NEW SIX NOW
SHOWN BY ENSM|NCER
European Design, With Greater
Capacity in Tonneau Than
Most Cars

The Lewis" six-cylinder cars,
Ensminger Motor Co., Third and
Cumberland streets, which acts as dis
tributor throughout Central Pennsyl-
vania for the L-P-C Motor Company,
the manufacturer of the Lewis"
cars, have attracted more attention
and been the object of more admira-
ton than is usually accorded the in
PRODUCTION of a new car in Harris
burg.
The Lewis" is distinctively Euro
pean in appearance as we'll as in con-
struction. 1t is the though out prod
uct of thecombined experience an in
telligence of a noted French automo-
bile engineer, NJ. Petard, and one of
Americas foremost automobile manu-
facturers. Captain William Mitchell
Lewis, and it is claimed by it's maker
that it is the most scientifically con-
structed car in the world.
While the French hood may first
attract attention because of its un-
usual yet handsome design, still this is
not the most distinctive feature that
the Lewis possesses. What really
distinguishes the Lewis" from all
other makes of cars is that greater
proportion of the chassis has been
utilized for the carrying of passen-
gers than can be found in any other
car of equal wheelbase. 1t is an un-
usually roomy car. Even when the
extra seats between the front and rear
compartments are in place yet any
compartment can be entered without
disturbing the occupants of the other
compartments. This roominess is not
wholly the result of the long wheel
base. 1876 inches, but rather the re-
suit of the design of the body. When
one sees what has been accomplished
in body construction in the Lewis
the wonder is that it had not been
adopted long ago.
According to MI Ensminger the
president OF the Ensminger Motor
Company, the Lewis" although a
sixty horsepower, six-cylinder car, will
run from II to 10 miles on a gallon
of gasolineN even when carrying six
car of the size of the Lewis" yet
when one considers it's weight is but
$3.50 pounds it is understandable.
"It is marvel at the price" said
Mr.. Ensminger land the best proof
of that is that without exception every
one who examines the car expresses
the greatest amaZement when in
formed that it's price is but $500.
1t is a $4,000 car which sells for ST.
500. 1t is a $4,000 car which sells
for $1,000 and we are very proud of
1t. We sold the first car to a promi-
nent Harrisburger, who has owned a
great many cars, within two hours
after unloading the first shipment"

We may regard ourselves fortunate,
considering the fury of the financial
storm that had encompassed our Sc

more wreckage to clear away. Timely

Those dark periods in our financial

.IF WE DESIRE 70 SECURE PEACE

1t will take several clashes and some very
decided beatings to develop middle
weight who stands out clearly enough to
have the sash that once adorned Stanley
Ketchel wound around him. Right now
there are several middleweights and near
middleweghts claiming to be one and only
champion, but not one of them has a
clear-cut claim to the honor.
Jimmy Clabby, globe trotter and Ham
mond, Ind. citizen; Jack Dillon, of In
dianapolis, Ind; Eddie McGoorty. Of Osh-
kosh. Wis, and Mike Gibbons. of St Paul,
Mimi, are the leaders in the chase after
the belt One bout that will go long
ways toward clearing up the atmosphere
is twenty round clash scheduled for New
Orleans in January between Clabby and
McGoorty. A decisive victory Tor either
one of these would put that one in q posi-
ton to claim the championship and defend
it against Gibbons and Dillon.
Clabby and McGoorty have met several
times. Their last encounter was in Aus
tralia where the Hoosier was awarded
the verdict on a foul. Previous to that
he had gained a twelve round decision
over McGoorty in Butte, Mont. That vic
tory came, too, after McGoorty had floored
him for the count of nine early in the
fight. He came back and peppered away
at the Oshkosh battler vigorously that
the referee thought he had earned the
verdict despite the knockdown he suffered.
Dillon is declared by many to have out
grown the middleweight ranks. He denies
this. Gibbons has been shying at most
of the middleweghts as he is several
pounds under that mark.

WELSH PICKS SHUGRUE.
(By Freddie Welsh. }

New York, Dec. 24.-Having
fought both Charlie White and Joe
Shugrue lately, 1 must say that to
me the Jersey City lad looks to be
a much better boy than his OPP
ponent from Chicago. When they
meet at Madison Square Garden
next Tuesday night 1 look for
Shugrue to win.
White in his battle with me did
MT lock to have championship abil-
ity. He absolutely refused to stand
up and mix with me and he was al
way on the run. He seemed to be
afraid of me.
On the other hand Shugrue
fought me like a champion. He had
the sand to force the fighting and
never gave UP trying to beat me to
the punch.
