THE FIRST CYCLECAR
APPEARED BACK In 1901
Ralph Hamlin Improved His Original
Motor and Is Still Selling Auto
mobiles in Los Angeles.

The first cyclecar to appear on the
streets of Los Angeles was a small auto
mobile built in 1901 by Ralph Hamlin, the
present Franklin dealer in that city.
Back in 1901 Hamlin was located in a
small shop. his main business selling
bicycles. He was an expert mechanic and
great deal of motor repairing was
brought to him by owners of one and
two-cylinder creations of that period He
decided to build an automobile and con-
structed one out of bicycle parts and
pieces of metal he had around his shop.
His automobile turned out to be what is
called today a cyclecar 1t was equipped
with bicycle wheels, with tires IS by 3,
and had the narrow tread of the present
day cyclecar The motor was 3l-4 horse
power French Aston motor which had a
belt drive to counter shaft in the rear
of the machine. The drive to the rear
axle from the countershaft was by a
chain. The control was by a loose pulley
in the countershaft which ran free when
the car stood still The car was capable
Of making thirty miles an hour.

FACTORY TURNED OUT
THIRTY CARS A DAY
Hupp Motor Company Set a New
Record During the Month
of April.
HUPM0BILES ARE SELLING FAST

During the twenty-six working days Of
April the Hupp Motor Car Company
shipments of Hupmobiles averaged more
than ninety cars a day. The record
shipping day was the 10th Of the month
when Log cars left the factory.
Conditions all over the country look
exceedingly bright" said F. A. Harris
commercial manager. Mr.. Harris takei
a very optimistic view on spring busi-
ness. and states that the Hupmobile fac
tories will reach record shipments during
the next two months.
with the advent of q few days OF
favorable weather" continued Mr.. Har-
ris, "Hupmobile sales have increased by
leaps and bounds. and at the present
time we have more than 5000 orders on
hand. specified for May delivery.
Our manufacturing establishment has
now reached its highest point Of Ell
cheney. During the past year Hupmo-
biles have been built on the progressive
system; that is, every man who works on
the Hupmobile has a certain duty. For
instance, Hupmobile employees. instead of
completed cars, work only on
separate assemblies where they are par
ticularly skilled. One man will assemble
crank shafts, another connecting rods.
another clutches, and this system is fol-
lowed out through the completed car.
by this method every man who builds
a Hupmobile is a specialist, skilled in
his particular line OF work. In this way
We are able to reach quantity production
and get 100 per cent efficiency in our
manufacturing organization.
"A spirit of loyalty exists in our fac
tory the like Of which have never before
e perienced; and / have held executive
positions in a number of automobile es-
The employees know that
they are building the best car in its
class in the world and every workman
puts forth his ablest efforts to make il so.
All this tends to the making of q better
car. and 1 know, should the occasion
arise, that our production could be easily
increased a thousand cars PEI month
with the addition of a few more me-
chanics.
Business prospects all over the country
are excellent Our district representa-
tives. who have carefully analysed con-
ditions In their respective territories find
an active increase in the motorcar trade
in general, and from this / believe We
can reasonably expect that the volume
Of business for the coming months will

spending months of last year.
Il refer particularly to cars in the class
Of the HupmobiIe-the car Of popular

TO INSTALL AUTO ENGINES.
Toledo Has Began Elimination Of
Horse-dravn Vehicles.

The city of Toledo. Ohio. has begun
the reorganization of its fire department.
the ultimate object being to eliminate
the horse in this class of municipal work.
The first step was taken recently when
the city gave the Willys-Overland Com
pany an order for a special WHY'S utility
chassis, to which the body equipment Of
a horse-drawn fire wagon was transfer
red. The new fire-fighting vehicle is now
a motor-driven combination chemical and
hose wagon, equipped with electric lights
all around, special pneumatic tires, siren
horn. push pedal gong, and other stand
ard equipment.
The reconstruction of the apparatus
was accomplished at a comparatively
small cost, the sale of the horses and
equipment formerly necessary almost
equaling the price of the work. The new
vehicle has already made several runs
and city officials who have watched its
performance closely are delighted with
its speed and efficiency.

JACK rabbit POSTER
AROUSES CURIOSITY
Makes Fine Free Advertising. but APP

of the Affair.
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT, ANYWAY!

About three weeks ago the billboards
in Chicago were pIastered from one end
to the other with the slogan, IF it's
speed you want. we're there like duck. "
Beneath was the picture of regular
prairie Jack rabbit" streaking it at sixty
miles an hour. Nothing else. No name,
no indication of the advertiser.
For a time il was a deep mystery.
Then Chicago motorists, one ajter the
other, commenced to say, "Oh, that's put
on by Carl Parker and Joe Erbst, up at
the Apperson Motor Car Company. An
other one of their advertising stunts like
the rabbits they had in the window on
Easter Day" But for once Chicago mo-
florists were wrong. Parker and Erbst,
and in fact the whole Apperson Broth
ers' Automobile Company, were as much
in the dark as any one else.
The men in the Chicago branch were
not going to let such an opportunity
for publicity pass, however. 1t was too
good. Approached by their friends and
customers with the query, What's this
jack rabbit bill posting You fellows are
doing. anyway they looked wise and
said nothing. Before long the supposed
Apperson Jack rabbit poster was the
talk of Chicago and neighboring cities.
II still is. The slogan. IF it's speed
