PACKARD GROWTH IS
AN INTERESTING STORY
No Longer Considered the Million
aires Folly" by Detroit Folk.
EMPLOYS 5000 People.

The primitive, single-cylinder, sturdy
little forefather of the long line of
Packard progeny would not be recog-
nized today as kith and kin of the
imperial Limousine. which is the most
luxurious of the present seasons
twenty body styles.
The two cars are tied together by
running story of amazing human
and mechanical interest, a story which
represents veritable cross-section OF
the triumphant rise of the motor art
from its awkward. cropping beginnings
in America fifteen years ago
When James Ward Packard finished
building his first motor car in war
rem, Ohio. in -, he had put together
one of the first efficient automobiles
built in America. 1t still runs as we'll
as it ever did. Packard invented and
constructed it under the incentive Of
a desire TO improve upon a gasoline
propelled French tricycle. he had
bought-a thing of pain and sorrow,
noisy. hard-riding. hard-starting.
cursed by wretched ignition, poor lu-
IRRIGATION. a bucking carburetor, al
most constant breakages and an in
comparable record for tire troubles.
Henry B. Joy, now president of the
Packard Motor Car Company, bought
one of the earliest Packard cars, was
impressed by its possibilities. and or
ganized a company for it's develop
ment Joy was man of mechanical
genius and unbounded enthusiasm.
Packard agreed to sell out his other
business interests in Warren and go
to Detroit to run the new factory. In
the end Packard found he could not
go and the directors insisted that Joy
himself roll up his sleeves. take active
charge as general manager and put
the thing over.
The Packard factory started in De-
troit with two acres of floor space
and force of 247 men. At the end of
the first season 200 cars had been man
ufactured, and a good deal Of money
lost. H. B. Joy ordered double the pro-
duction the second year. piled another
fortune into the Jackpot, and paid
the great pile OF brick buildings
growing along the railroad tracks to
the north of the city as the million
aires folly"
Times have changed In Detroit. They
no longer call the Packard factory a
folly. Today there are thirty buildings
in the plant, with total of thirty
eight acres of floor space. The factory
employs 5000 people, representing
eighty different trades. In addition to
its handsome, extensive frontage on
Grand boulevard, its site extends for
three quarters of a mile along the
tracks of the Michigan Central Belt
Line.
The Packard Motor Car Company 10
capitalized at 100000 900. and the busi-
ness represents total investment Of
twice that sum. The monthly pay roll
approximates half q million, with 4
community of about 10000 people di.
rectly supported by the company. It
is by far the largest company in the
world making motor vehicles exclu-
sively OF the highest type.

HOW TO WASH AUTOS
TO MAKE VARNISH LAST
Do Not Rub Dirt from 1t, but Use
Water of Not More Than
60 Degrees.

Methods and materials for finishing
the bodies and running gear of motor
cars have been brought to high
state of perfection by most companies,
but ii is well to remember that there
are certain abuses against which no
finish. however perfect and durable,
can long endure.
No varnish will endure being scrub
bed with brush or with hot water.
No varnish will withstand the chem
zeal action of ammonia or any kind
of I've soap nor any of the common
washing fluids or powders
No varnish will stand having dust
or mud rubbed off nor will it endure
the grits of dust and mud driven into
it by the water blast from a high
pressure hose to which it is often
subjected.
Use water at sixty degrees or lower
and soft cloth or sponge. 1t is best
to use no kind of soap unless il be
pure CASTLE. Mud. wet or dry. should
be removed with flowing water
squeezed from a clean sponge or flow
ing from hose with little pressure
never with a water blast
When not in use, keep the car COW
cred with a soft linen cover All dust
contains grit and all smoke contains
acid. and against these a cloth cover
offers adequate protection
However well varnish has endured
the weather testing, 1t may be seri-
ously affected by instant extremes of
temperature. A glass dish may be fill
ed with boiling water slowly with
out cracking 1t and may be filled with
ice water (slowly). but it will invar-
iably crack If plunged instantly from
boiling water into ice water and vice
versa G.YH
Don't allow curious persons to lay
their hands on the varnish of your
cart creates instant change of tenn
perature.
Don't keep your car in a stable or
near horses. Ammonia fumes are dead
ly to varnish.
Don't keep it in the coolest possible
place. Long continued cold freezes
the wood and fills the metal with
frost. which affects the yarnish II
you cannot have artificial heat in the
garage, at least have 1t warmly built.
Keep out drafts and keep II clean.
Don't assume that any varnish can
last forever. Good varnish lasts a rea-
sonable length of time, even with
careless treatment: but it lasts two
or three times as long II you treat it
well.

WILL RATE PLAYERS
AT DUMBARTON CLUB

Major Boyd Taylor. acting chairman
of the tennis committee of the Dunn
barton Club. announced yesterday at
the conclusion Of the tennis matches
at the club that 1t Is planned to hold
the play for rating of the members
Of the club in a few days. At the
present time! there is insufficient data
to rate the players but this will be
overcome by holding an elimination
contest.
Owing to the fact that the courts
at the club are new and have recent
Iy been subjected to much hard usage
due to the holding Of the regular club
tournament and the junior tennis
championship during the past two
weeks, they are not in the best of con-
dition and 1t IL announced that no
more interclub matches will be played
on the courts until they are put into
better shape.

GUESSING AS To
new knight CAR.
Speculation Rife Regarding
Maker of Vehicle to Sell
In $1,000 Class.
MANY INQUIRIES MADE
Inventor OF knight Sleeve Valve
Motor Says Trend Is Toward
Silence and Comfort.
MANY INQUIRIES MADE

Since il became known that one of the
big American manufacturers was TO build
Knight motored car to sell in the $1,000
class speculation has been rife as 10 who
the manufacturer is, and what the actual
price of the car will be.
Charles Y. knight. inventor of the ia
nous knight sleeve valve motor. states
that he has been literally swamped with
letters from all parts of the country. re-
questing further information on this
latest entry into the automobile field.
During the past few weeks" says Mr..
Knight my office has been showed I'M
der with correspondence from interested
motorists asking for details. To me this
is positive proof of an extensive market
for knight-motorcd car selling for so
low a price.
THE whole trend of motor-car design
today is toward silence, smoothness OF
operation and comfort. And the sleeve
valve motor is conceded by most experts
to be the one logical medium through
which all three Of these requisites are
made possible.
Made Capital of Noise.
"A few years ago the noise emanating
from the motor cut little figure in the
selling of car. As matter of fact
shrewd statesmen have been known to
make capital of it. II the prospect was
sportively inclined they found little diff
Guilty in convincing him that the noise
indicated great power of the motor. But
the buyer of today is not easily fooled.
The smoother and quieter the action OF
the motor. the greater the appeal of the
car.
1T is the silence and comfort OF the
knight motor that have made ii a popu-
lar favorite throughout the world. This
type is regarded in Europe as the crown
ing feature of hiEh-grade automobile con-
stuction. Practically every foreign manu-
facturer of note who could secure the
rights has adopted il.
Improves with Use.
"One of the chief advantages of the
knight type of motor is its characteristic
of improving with use. In this respect
it differs from all other types OF engines
The carbon deposit that is harmful to-
most of them. has the opposite effect onl
the sleeve-valve type. Through constant
use the sliding surfaces of the pistons
and sleeves become polished and the
slight deposits of carbon which collect
alright sealing. Thus. the longer the
knight motor is used the quieter and
smoother its action becomes
II believe the day is not far distant
when the sleeve-valve motor will dis
place all other types for motor cars.
Although ] am not in a position to
give the name of the manufacturer who
will produce the new Knight car. | can
state definitely that the car will contain
the highest quality throughout The
low price at which 1t is to be sold is
due to the fact that the producer has
almost unlimited manufa curing facilities
and that he has solved the all-important
problem of building and marketing knight
motors in large quantities"

Ed Miller Hurt

Tuesday night Ed Miller was
called to Joplin on business and
motored over. Just as he reach
ed the west end of the slough
bridge on River street, homeward
bound, he met buggy contain
| ing a man, woman and child.
Err. Miller noticed that his ma
chine caused the horse to rear and
plunge, and shutting off the
power, turned to one side to help
the occupants of the buggy and
in doing so had the misfortune to
run his machine over the bank.
! The car turned turtle and pinned
Mr.. Miller underneath the wreck
age. This happened at eleven
o'clock. Four hours after the
imprisoned man was able to get
out and after another hour OF
suffering dragged himself fully a
a mile to DR.. Bosweil's home,
where he was taken in and cared
for. An examination showed a
broken rib and a badly bruised
body. Mr.. Miller is now at the
Boswell home resting as easily as
! possible, the cool weather help
ing him out wonderfully. The
machine came out with a broken
top aud windshield.
| While Mr.. Miller was under
| the car several machines passed
/ but their occupants failed to hear
; his cries for help. The entire
community extends sympathy TO
the suffering man, who has for
so many years stuck to the fight
to make fortune in a field de-
serted by all but him, and just
row has success within his grasp,
hut lie is meeting this disaster
just as bravely as he has the
others, and will soon again be on
the battlefield.
