SEVENTEEN CARLOADS

Largest Consignment of Ma
chimes in History of State

Seventeen carloads of REQ automo-
biles will arrive in Harrisburg over the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company tomorrow from the factor
les at Lancing, Mich, consigned to the
Harrisburg Automobile Company.
George G. Mcfarland, head of the
company, said to-day that this is .he
largest shipment of cars ever made
to any one firm at one timG in the his
tory of the industry in Pennsylvania.
He is making arrangements to have
the entire trainload photographed on
the tracks of the Reading at Tenth
street and afterward ]. S. Klindinst.
Reading freight agent, will have all
the machines assembled in one line in
Tenth street where another photo
graph will be made.
The Harrisburg Auto Company con-
tracted with the REQ Company for 273
cars for 1915 delivery with the privi-
lege of additional cars during the
months of December. January, Febru-
AIRY and March. The REQ company
figured that their output of one hun
dred cars day would allow them to
store some cars during the winter
months but the unprecedented demand
used up their entire output and their
big storage warehouse had it's doors
open.
The privilege of getting extra cars
aIIeT feDruaTy was Withdrawn ana
that left nothing but the month of
February to get ahead of the game.
Orders for 1872 Cars
The Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany has booked orders for 1872 cars,
all of which were to be delivered dur
ing February and the early part of
March. They have delivered just 1SO
of these orders, which represents more
business than they did last year.
BY reason of agreements made at
the factory for extra cars during the
winter months. they were able to get
this trainload of fifty-one automobiles.
This lot of cars, with their regular
allotment, will bring the Harrisburg
company's order of REQ cars for this
year up to 39S. Even this will not
nearly supply the retail and wholesale
trade. The REQ line is without any
doubt the most complete line of mid
dle-priced cars made anywhere and
now consists of the four-cylinder road
ster four-cylinder touring car. SIX
cylinder touring car, three-quarter ton
truck and two-ton truck.
