The shaffer Wagon Works was

c; E, Shaffer Estate April Is, 1912. The

all efforts for the upbuilding of the

The Shaffer Wagon Works are also
distributors of the Gibney Wireless and
the Kelly-Springfield motor tires in this
with a 5O-ton hydraulic press (the
only one between Philadelphia and
Akron, Ohio) and other modern ma
chinery for the application of all sizes,
kinds and types of motor and carriage
tires. In speaking of the truck tires,
Mr.. Shaffer said:
All manufacturers OF motor truck
tires have now come to the conclusion
that the pressed -on-type of tire is the
only solution of the motor tire prob
lem of to-day.
"It became apparent that if the de-
| mountable tire would not answer the
purpose because of lost motion, it was
necessary to construct tire that would
| answer the purpose, and this tire was
the pressed-on type design.
The pressed on-type was first
brought to this country by James L.
Gibney, who went TO Europe to study
solid tires. Mr.. Gibney conceived the
| idea that the steel-base tire offered the
greatest possibilities and he thefore
returned to this country and manufac-
| tured the Gibney Wireless Pressed on
type Tires. being the first wireless tire
manufactured in this country. This
| type of motor tires has many distinct
advantages over the old type, viz: The
fastening of the tire to the wheel is
steel to steel, thus eliminating inter
nal friction and lost motion. Changing

MAXWELL MODELS
|. FIT POPULAR DEMAND
Local Distributor Enthusiastic as
to Business Outlook For "25"
Touring and Roadster

A car that has enjoyed what In con-
sidered an unprecedented sale, in the
| history of the industry, is the Maxwell,
handled in the local district by e. w.
Shank, distributor for Dauphin, Cum
| berland and part of Northumberland
county, with sales room at 334 Chest
nut street, at Central garage.
The Maxwell record was made be-
tween August l. 1914. and February l,
1915, and 1T is all the more remarkable
on account of the wave of depression
which has swept many parts of the
country during this period.
In the Harrisburg field Mr. Shank
declares that he has sold more cars
than any other one firm, with the ex-
ception of one that sells a very low
price car.
THE demand for the Maxwell has
simply astounded me-" he said. "If
there has been any depression or tight
ness of the money market l have not
felt 1t in the least. The only thing
that l can attribute it to is the great
value in the Maxwell. OF course, there
is no other car that competes with
the Maxwell, for there is no other car
on the market with the high grade
features of the Maxwell and of like
size and beauty that sells for so low
price, $695.
But the demand has been different
from any other demand / have ever
known. Right in the height of the
winter season / have been bringing
Maxwell cars to this territory in eX-
cepuonal numbers considering the sea-
son. Eighteen were delivered in the
month of February.
These cars have all been sold by
us or our agents and delivered. We
have orders from practically every
subdealer, who wants cars at once for
Spring delivery"
The Maxwell factory is working day
and night to keep up with the demand.
This in the height of the winter makes
us wonder what will happen when the
real buying season opens April !.
IF the demand keeps up as it has
we will not get half the MaXwells we
will want in the summer months-no
factory, however large, and the Max
we'll is one of the worlds largest, could
turn them out fast enough to keep
the buyers satisfied.
Because of this we are advising all
our agents to take orders ahead for
those who intend buying MaXwells
when the season opens. We are advis-
ing local buyers to place their orders
now, so that they will not be disap-
pointed later.
All indications point to a general
boom business as soon as the Spring
opens, and if this is true the coming
season will stagger all statistics for the
record 1t Will produce in car sales.
walter Il. Flanders, who heads the
Maxwell plants, told us the other day
that he is making the most elaborate
preparations that he has ever made
to take care of the Spring business,
He declares that the Maxwell business
during the winter months has proven
to him that the summer months will
break all motor records, and he has
promised that the factory will be
equipped to more than double its pres
ent capacity. He is so optimistic that
he does not believe that double capa-
city will build cars fast enough for the
1915 demand"

STARTING THE MOTOR

When starting an engine better
mixture may be obtained by not
opening the throttle too wide. Two
or three turns with the spark off
and a single turn with the spark on
will give the best start. Spinning the
motor should never be done with the
spark on. The object of spinning
is TO fill the combustion chambers
with an explosive mixture and this
can be done with safety only when the
spark is off. After the chambers are
filled single pull upward will secure
all the results of the spinning and elm
inate danger from back-kicking.

either an open express body or a
closed panel body.
The new passenger-baggage car has
leather upholstered seats along each
side, which fold up against the sides,
allowing the space to be utilized for
regular delivery car purposes. This
car will carry ten men comfortably, or
part of the seats may be folded up and
1t will carry four or five people ana
their baggage.
The delivery car line has all the
staunch and sturdy characteristics OF
the pleasure car line.
