CHICAGO-N. Y. RECORD
Mr.. Patterson May Have to
Defend His Time of 35:43.

The breaking by f. c. Patterson Of
the Chicago-New York record, which
was held for eight years by the Frank
lin. has stirred up desire on the part
of several motorists 10 attempt low
ering of Nr. Patterson's time. Of 35
hours and 43 minutes.
Mr. Carris. who made the record Of
80 hours and 90 minutes in Franklin,
in 1907, covered a distance of LOCO
miles; Sc miles longer than the route
taken by Mr.. Patterson, with his Pack
ard.
In 1907 there were only few
stretches OF state road across the En-
pire State. Carris drove southeast
from Syracuse to Kingston over poor
roads. Mr.. Pstterson's route followed
the main state road from Syracuse TO
Utica. Albany and down the Hudson
Valley on the east side.
As early as 1903 a Chicago-New YORK
record was attempted and the time was
76 hours; this was reduced the same
wear to 70. In 1904 Bert Holcomb. III
a Columbia. lowered it to 58:43. Car
ris, in a Franklin, cut it TO 58:5a IN
1906 and in 1907 TO 1888, which
stood until the Packard record was

as follows:

than at the hotels and permanent
camps, travel may be resumed only at

They tell an old story about an
automobile salesman who, wnen asked
by a customer what kind of an engine
his car contained, replied:
That's none of your business. We're
selling service"
And this holds good to-day, more
than ever. But the next question Is.
"What kind of service are you selling
The buyer is extremely anxious to
have this service business made posi-
tive and definite. He is perhaps no
more anxious, however, than the large
distributor.
Back of the distributor is the manu-
facturer, demanding what has already
been described by Mr.. Owen, of the
Chalmers company, as "black and
white" or printed, service.
We are coming to a positive service.
In the Far West distributors have made
more progress in this direction than
our Eastern distributors.
Earle c. Anthony, Inc, Of Los An
geles, has put into operation coupon
service system which is working out so
admirably we may soon see something
Of a similar nature in New York. Sew
Cral large Eastern agents are already
considering the plan.
Mr.. Anthony who distributes Pack
ard cars in Southern California, gives
TO every purchaser OF new car book
of coupons emitting the owner to 100
hours of service. Anthony has made a
service arrangement with nearly two
hundred sub-dealers in his large terri
tory. Each one accepts the Anthony
coupons in lieu Of cash for repairs.
If the owner is touring in Southern
California he can usually find a garage
where the coupons are redeemable.
When the book is exhausted the ser
vice offered by the man who sold the
car is at an end. The owner cannot
look for any further free service, but
he can look for the definite amount
stipulated, 100 hours.
