BAKER ELECTRICS
REDUCED in Price
Enlarged Production Permits Cleve-
land Concern to Make Big Cut
on Sale of Cars.

The Baker Motor Vehicle Company. of
Cleveland. has just announced a general
downward price reduction of all Baker
models. This general price reduction
comes as the result of a greatly enlarg-
ed scale of production of the light Baker
electric coupes.
We have constantly argued for and
built lightweight electric cars" said
George II. Kelly, secretary of the Baker
company. in announcing the new prices.
land. even while building heavier mod
els. We have always continued with the
liShtest coupes in the market. and our
light coupes have always been our
leaders.
When We designed and put on the
market our new light Baker coupe it
was with feeling that We had achieved
the finest result of our sixteen years ex-
perience. Here was a car Weighing a
half ton less than the big heavy electrics.
combining all the advantages Of light
weight with the very finest quality.
Immediately when this car was an
nounced the interest which was created,
its instant success and the general en-
thusiasm on the part Of everyone who
bought it proved to US beyond doubt
that the public demand Is growing more
rapidly every day for a lighter electric,
and we believe before long there will be
a very limited market for the big, heavy
cars.
Having demonstrated to our own sat
isfaction that our position was correct
We have determined to go ahead on a
greatly increased scale of manufacturing
and produce the light Baker coupe in
larger quantities than We have ever be-
fore undertaken. The manufacturing

pense per car on account Of this larger
production. enable us to announce a low

EIGHT CADILLACS HAVE
STATE LICENSE NO. l
Greatly Coveted Number Adorns More

Any Other.

The reputation of the Senate of the
United States as the most exclusive bod!
in the world seems to have been gained
before the Holders of No. Tag Society
came into existence The latter is the
adorned by tag No l. indicating that
the motor license bears the most COW
eted and most sought of all the numbers
issued by the several States.
Not more than forty-three cars in the
United States can carry this NUMBER
because two the the States, South Caro-
lima and Texas. have no State regis
tration, and in Iowa, Maryland, New
Hampshire and Tennessee. the registra-
tons do not begin with the numeral l.
Out of the forty-three cars SO dis
tinguished by the 1915 tags. eight are
Cadillacs. according to data gathered
by Motor Age This is greater number
carrying No. / tags than any other sin
gle make. The next highest Is three.
there being five makes which have that
quota Of No. 1 representatives. Three
others have two each, and eighteen have
one each.
The States in which the Cadillacs head
the license number list are Alamaba,
Idaho. Illinois. Maryland. Nevada, North
Dakota Rhode Island and Utah. In Ne
vada and Maryland the CadiilaCs are Oh
the eight-cylinder model: and the one
in Maryland carries No. 1000 that being
the first number on the 1915 registra ton
list.

a great organization Of mechanics and
workmen laboring twentyfour hours a
day in three eight-hour shifts to pro-
duce the Jeffery product. has placed the
Jeffery organization at the high peak of
prosperity in the automobile industry.
Two years ago the Jerery company in
troduced into America the Jeffery Four
the first high-grade motor car with the
high speed. four-cylinder motor to sell
at a moderate price. During the past
year the Jeffrey company developed the
Jeffery Quad-the four wheel-drive truck
which has been Endorsed by the leading
governments OF the world-and brought
out the Jeffrey Chesterfield Six-the first
car in America selling at $3.50 to be
equipped with features found previously
only in the highest priced cars.
ManufacturfnE COST Cut.
As a result of the sale Of large quanti-
ties OF Jeffery cars to all parts of the
world. with consequent reduction In
manufacturing costs, The Jenery COM
pany has decided to place within the
reach of the people Of the United States
high-grade four-cylinder car at a
price never heard of before in the indus
try. The Jeffery -Four is announced at
s1.150 The purpose Of this announce
ment is to give to Jeftery purchasers,
Jeffrey dealers and Jeffrey friends their
share of the benefit OF this prosperity
that has come to the Jeffery company.
Some manufacturers have offered small
bonuses to their owners on condition that
they sell a certain number OF cars The
Jeffery company, instead Of offering a
bonus. has given a price to the public
which places an automobile of the finest
quality within the reach of every man
who previously has had to be satisfied
with a cheaper car.
The production plans Of the Jeffery
company for the coming year have not
yet been announced. but during the past
two years they have rapidly advanced
to a position in the industry which quail
lies them to be counted among the top

Under this new system, the human ele-
