Tests by Chandler
Prove the Economy
Of Light Six Car

In view Of the general opinion held, until
recent years, that the six-cyllnder motor
car was more expensive TO operate than
the four-cylInder type. data recently
gathered by the sales department OF the
Chandler Motor Car company possesses
more than ordinary interest to the auto

I'm the last few years we have received
hundreds OF letters from Chandler own
srs throughout the country, giving the
mileage and the average consumption OF
gasoline made by their cars in daily serv-
ice and on long trips" says @. A. Emise,
vico president OF the Chandler company.
I'VE have tabulated the mileage from
these various letters and find that owners
OF the Chandler Six have driven 1.74s, 7bS
miles. with an average Of seventeen and
one-eighth miles 10 the gallon. The

ers as compared with their use OF gaso-

The sharp rivalry between two Utah

In the design OF the 1915 Woods body
the graceful curved lines are much in
evidence. The curved door with rounded
window corners throughout is still a dis
sign.
The construction OF the 1915 WOODY
chassis again shows considerable atten-
ton 20 the matter Of spring reslliency.
Full elliptic springs, both front and rear,
are still feature, The rear springs are
mounted on radius rods extending from
underneath the chassis 10 the rear axle.
This construction gives a leverage to the
springs and reduces by about 10 per cent
tho road shock which the rear springs
Will be required TO absorb.
Omaha daily bee., 1915-02-14

The design Of the chassis frame mem
bers in the form OF letter r. with
the opening down is still a unique Woods
feature. This has several advantages
for instance. It allows placing the springs,
both front and rear, inside Of the side
chassis frame members, giving very sub
stantial connection and at the same time
allowing for a wider frame construction
and consequently better foundation for
the roomy Woods bodies.
The Woods models on display at the
show are particularly noticeable on ac-
count OF their very attractive trimming
and their rather striking combination Of
pleasing colors.

Thereupon he answers the question in this wise: What is almost the last word that can be spoken on universal progress at the present stage of af- fairs was once spoken by that most gracious and polished author of the most scholarly Life of Our Lord Dr. Samuel J.

 The size of the vegetable and cold storage rooms may be varied to meet the requirements of different farms.

 For inside convenience there is a splendid easy cellar stair leading up

to a hallway which connects the front porch with the kitchen and living room.
 The plan of the main floor as well as upstairs is especially interesting to farmers who want considerable house room because of the extra help that is necessary at certain seasons of the year
 Farmers are obliged to bring good deal of business into the house, which requires an office. Accommodation for extra help is needed at times in addition to the private living rooms for the family
 In this plan there is a side porch built especially for an entrance to the office and mems quarters. Entering from the porch is washroom with a good-sized wardrobe for the especial use of the men.

There are so-called roads. certainly, upon which the people move about, but I have seldom met one that was any better than the surrounding country, and very. very often on this journey l met roads where it was ease and lux. ury to move of them on to the neigh. boring plowed field.

 Large farmhouses for business farms are built differently from any other kind of residence.
 The business of farming is carried on to make money; therefore. part of the house becomes an office and a workshop. At the same time the main object in building a house is to pro vide comfortable living quarters kr the family.
 The house design herewith illustrat- ed shows a successful combination comprising many advantages. It is A by 2s feet 6 inches in size on the ground. exclusive of the front and side porches.
 This splendid farmhouse was built on ground sloping slightly from the front to the back, so that more of the basement wall is exposed at the back. or what might be termed the business side of the house.
 There is a concrete wall S feet in height, including the footings. This wall is the full size of the house and encloses a splendid basement The concrete basement floor is built up little above the footings. so that space between the surface of the floor and the bottom of the floor joists of the main living room measures feet 6 inches in the clear.

 The dining -oom is IF by l7 feet, which is supposed to be large enough for all ordinary occasions. At thresh. ing time it may be necessary to open the double doors into the living room and extend the dining table out to its full length, but as a usual thing the liv. ing room is intended for the use of the farmer and his family. It is provided w!th big fireplace and there is plenty of room for comfortable furniture.
 A stairway for the use of the fam fly leads up from the main hallway. which also has easy connection with the living room. kitchen and side porch. The small front porch is more in the nature of a private entrance with comfortable built-in seats to make it as cory as possible in the summertime.
 Upstairs there are three bedrooms and c bathroom for family use, shut off entirely from the mems depart ment On both sides of the upstairs there are storage closets for clothing and for linen Altogether. the IIan comprises all the conveniences and comfort possible to combine in a prac- tical house suitable for . large family when considerable business is carried on, and that may be occupied comfort ably by . small family during winter time.
