Many Dealers Showing

Most OF tho automobile manufactur-

long open season between September
and Christmas has forced upon the

Mr.. Houpt finds it is necessary every

offer those which have been in use at
reduced prices, after they have been

Why the New Cars
Have Greater Value

Motorists arc wondering says n
Ludlow Clayton, an automobile expert
IN "Th, Automobile" Of September ~.
.qf the new car 81 90 per cent lower
price is ~ good as the old ore.
"The buyer wants TO know II the
quality has been cut. Il is possible 20
answer this positively" he says DC
cause never before has the value in inc
car approached tho pinnacle upon when
s. now reefs.
~Thc reason IS that the automobile
industry has only just reached ma
turity. Il has completed its period OF
probaUon, and after twenty years in
business for itself. 10 has proved It's
posltion IN the worlds commerce. Up
10 this time tho public has had TO
father the industry. The money which
has been paid by Automobiles IN the
past has gone. Boa part, 10 tho education
OF the industry and the equipment and
building Of factories and for tools.

the last ten years, and thus we ind tho
expenses Of the industry as whole are
decreasing as the output increases, and
80 the load the consumer has TO carry
- lssssning each year.
Tine materials used in the sutomo-
bile Of 1915 cost less than before on
the average, despite the fact that near
~ ell materials are more expensive
This apparently contradictory condition
Of affairs has been brought about by
various causes, the main being that the
materials are better chosen and better
aroportioned.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-10-03
Design Lowers Cost.

As an example OF the way in which
design is helping the manufacturer to
reduce the cost q the complete car, we
may take the case Of the crankshaft.
Not long ago this part of the car was
made Of expensive steel, which was
vary hard and difficult to machine. Now
that the engineers have found that
vibration can be eliminated only by the
use Of larger crankshafts, the latter
are made Of cheaper qualities. which
are easier TO handle and still make
better shaft than formerly.
80 use high tensiblc alloy steel for
modern crankshaft would be like en-
ploying steam hammer TO break eggs;
quite efficient, but rather absurd.
"In searching for the cause OF the
reduced price of the car we must also
notice what has disappeared and the
clean and simple chassis Of to-day. We
have done away with rods, tubes,
DRESSINGS, brackets. castings, forgings.
etc. saving both material and work
while il is true that the price Of
brass has increased lately, if We look
over the automobile OF 1916 carefully
we will see how brass has been elimi-
mated from its makeup. In short,
there is less metal In the 1916 model
and it is used in simpler forms; In
other words, there is not 50 much
waste.
The block motor eliminates the

and all casting. machining and fitting
OF these manifolds. 1t eliminates two

manipulation thereof. Oilways east

Epgine.u Lessen Cost

steel is cheaper for many sutomo-
bile parts because Of the work OF the
Society OF Automobile Engineers, and
because OF advances in design.

Hurrah! | have been very
quiet about women suffrage for a
long time, but ] can't let that
Wolf Run writer get ahead of
me. He did not like it, one bit
when he heard that some of the
other states had failed to give
the women the right to VOTE yes,
and as they lost, so will our dear
old mountain state, which of
course will e glad of, as l
said once that it wasn't the wo-
mems lace to go to the polls to
vote and / will still say the same.
Talk about the women not hav-
lg the hardest of the work to
do, now what work is harder
than making the laws to suit the
different classes of people. /
believe all the men that are GO
ing to vote for the amendment
to carry, are old bachelors that
want them a woman and they
tnlnk perhaps 1t they give them
the right to vote, maybe they
will take pity on them ana
marry them. But that won't
be the case dear friends even
the women get to voting it will
only be more expense to their
husbands (if they have amy
for there will be the two extra
dollars to pay which am certain
will make several of the men
look cross eyed at their pocket
books. Therefore, say give
the women no right to the bal
lot whatever, when the men
fail to make our laws then it
will be plenty of time for the
women to come in, but not un-
til then. But | certainly hope
the men will never lose their
