SMALL COST RUNS REQ TRUCK
L. M. Bricker, Proprietor of West Shore
Bakery, Operates One for
$3.94 Per Week

l.. M. Brcker, proprietor of the
West Shore Bakery, Lemoyne, Pa, pur-
chased two-ton Model "J' REQ truck
from the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany on September 23, 1914. The body
of this truck was specially constructed
to handle a great quantity of full or
empty bread crates, hauling them to the
different stations, bringing back the
empties and also as trailer for the
bread wagons around this territory.
Mr.. Bricker keeps very close and ac-
eurate account of cost and operation
of everything about his establishment
and his truck cost sheet shows that this
truck has been driven between 35 and
40 miles day at a cost of oil, gasoline
grease, repairs and upkeep, in fact ev-
erything conceivable except the driver
and the investment, of not over 1894 a
week, In fact, this is the highest week $
expense he has had on the truck since
he has had it. OF course the truck has
given no trouble He has very eff
ficient driver. Mr.. Chas. f. Hoerner
drives this truck and has complete
charge of it and Mr.. Bricker does not
allow the truck TO 90 out unless Mr..
Hoerner is on the job.
1t is being demonstrated very
forcibly that good moderate priced
well-constructed truck is far cheaper
than the horse-drawn vehicle.

CO. BUYS nine PAIGE Cars
The Selection. Based on Economy,

The Rochester Railway and Light

corporation in Rochester, New York,
has Just closed contracts with the
Seneca Motor Car Company, Paige dis
tributors in that city. for the purchase
of nine Paige ears, eight Glenwood
Eours and one Paige "Six46," which
will be used by this company for va

business.
The sale was consummated only after
a prolonged and exhaustive investiga.
tion and series of tests in which cars
of nearly every standard make were
represented. The Rochester Railway
and Light Company is no novice in the
field OF motor transportation, as it has
used automobiles for number of years
Its selection had to be based largely
on the question of economy of opera
tion and repair maintenance and for
some time it had been using a car that
is famous for these virtues and sells
more than five to one beyond the pro.
duction of any other make
y To determine, therefore, its selec.
tion for its new fleet the company put
all competitors to the severest tests it
could devise to bring out economy or

auto SHOW BIC SUCCESS,
Says GEORGE VIII. ROBERTS
Distributor of Haynes Car for This
Territory, Declares More Machines
Were Sold Than at Any Other Sim
liar Event

THE Automobile Show is great
success" declares Geo. w. H. Roberts.
OF Roberts & Holm, distributors in this
territory-for the Haynes Auto Company.
Kokomo, Ind.
THE attendance is usually large and
we are extremely gratified over the
widespread interest shown in the
Haynes exhibit.
The Haynes Light Six has made
some remarkable runs that have been
the talk of motordom, and of course
visitors to the show made it point to
see this unusual car.
AT Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the
Haynes light six averaged 24.3 miles
to the gallon of gasoline carrying FIVE
passengers over one hundred and eleven
miles of hilly roads.
"On December 4th another stock
Haynes Light Six with four passengers
Travelled 166 miles on low gear with
out stopping, making the trip from
Newark, New Jersey, to Delaware
Water Gap and return in IL hours and
Z minutes.
These remarkable performances
Were IN measure responsible for the
Keen interest manifested in our cars
by dealers and consumers alike. As a
result, more Haynes cars were sold dur
ing this show than at any other sim
liar event held in this city.
The advent of the Kokomo Six was
particularly well timed. This new sew.
passenger car was brought out at the
show and there is already a big de.
mand for this model.

letter to Geo. G. Mcfarland, president
of the Harrisburg Auto Company, local
REQ dealers. q
ITO say that we are swamped with
orders. is to put it mildly. We have
heard from every REQ dealer in the last
two weeks and every one has asked for
at least four times as many automo-
biles as we can possibly supply him.
1T takes us back to the time when
there were about twenty buyers for
every one car that was produced and
when man who owned q car was en-
We'd. The mornings bunch of grief
smashed all previous order records.
One of our distributors sent in orders
for 20 carloads of cars, all to be
shipped direct to his sub-dealers at once.
Bear in mind the orders were all signed
up specifications from the sub-dealers,
and this is only the third day of the
month. You can imagine what this
dealer will want before we get to the
31st. Added to that his-contract calls
for the delivery of so cars this month,
which we thought when he made out
his estimate was just about right and
that if we gave himthat many he would
be happy man. I am satisfied that
this same dealer would take 800 if he
could get them.
II got wire from Boston this morn
ing telling us to ship. whatever we could
and all we could. Our Kansas City
friends burned up the wires, and the day
isn't half over. From now on it looks
like case of side-stepping and spar
ring for wind. We're doing everything
we can to increase the production and
have men on the job in the warehouse
cleaning that up so We can assemble
some ears in that building. We don't
believe it is wise to put on night and
day shift because cars may go out here
that are not up to the standard, SO we
rather keep to the factory schedule and
make every car that goes out of here
sell another.
81 didn't think we could beat the
demand we had last year, but you can
take it from me that there is abso-
lutely no comparison between the de-
mand now and the demand at any time
last year. Total order to-day, 405-
some orders. And we're only just
heading into what is called-the rush
reason. ADV"

SECOND DEGREE FOR COPE
New Conviction Less Serious Than One
That Was Set Aside

Doylestown, Pa, March 2O.-John A.
Cope, who had been on trial here a
second time for the shooting of his
niece, Florence V. Cope, near Bucking-
ham, Pa, was last night found guilty
Of murder in the second degree. The
jury was out about three hours. Coun-
sci for Cope filed motions for new
trial.
Cope, in telling his story. on the
stand, had fatty contradicted all tes
timony pointing to his guilt. declaring
that he was in no way responsible for
the death of Miss Cope. He talked
coolly in very matter.of fact way, de-
nying that he had made threats or
used vile language. Among his decla-
rations were that he did not load the
gun, or have his finger near the trigger,
but said that one of the girls pushed
him against the wall, and Florence
grabbed the gun, which was discharged.
The last witnesses in the case were
Joseph Gumper, B, Frank Cope, DR.. w.
s. Erdman and several character wit
nesses, who said that Cope IS reputation
for peace and order was good.

Chalmers COMPANY never /

Ross Morton, Local Dealer, Says When

"We have never lost a sale to any
prospective purchaser of AN automo-

tory in Detroit and seen these cars in

Keystone Motor Car Co., local Chal-

Every day finds visitors from
many parts of the country making a
tour of the great plant in Detroit.
"Among thetmost recent distin-
guished visitors was Ebert Hubbard,
who after thoroughly inspecting the
factory placed his order for Chalmers
Master Six Torpedo. Mr.. Hubbard
plans to use this car for himself and
Mrs. Hubbard.
Son the occasion of his recent trip,
MIR. Hubbard exposed his surprise at
the growth which the Chalmers factory
has shown since he last visited De-
trOit. He mentioned particularly the
famous 00,000 Chalmers "hill'
which in reality is the dynamomter
test that scientifically measures the ef-
ficiency of every car before it leaves
the factory. He was deeply interested
also in the giant press which was in
stalled at cost of $4,000 for MAX
ing the graceful nodded oval Tenders
which are feature of Chalmers cars.
"The rigorous methods of securing
accuracy and testing every part to see
that it measures up to the absolute
standards of perfection caused favor
able comment on the part of Mr.. Hub
bard. This is feature incidentally,
that has helped to give the Chalmers
factory the reputation for turning out
a product of such high standard as
to cause the Chalmers company to
adopt the slogan equality First"
