NEW GENEMOTORS NOW
READY REDISTRIBUTION
Have Double Point of Contact Relay
and Flexible Driving Pinions.
Two Great ADVANTAGES.

Having just won the gold medal at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition
with the genemotor, the starting and
lighting system for Ford cars, the Gen.
eral Electric Company, through its gen.
eral distributors. A. j. Picard & Co, an
nounce for immediate delivery the new
series genemotor..
1t is credited with being a vast improve
ment over the original model In two par
ticular features-a double point of con-
tact relay and a flexible driving pinion.
These improvements fortify the genemo-
tor in the hands of the novice against
misuse and make sure long and continu-
Gus service.
This Is the second model of the genemo-
tor offered to the public since January 1,
and points to unusual ingenuity and ag-
gressiveness on the part of the General
Electric Company in the starter field.
In the opinion of A. J. Picard. the new
series genemotor will antiquate all pre-
vious starters for Ford cars and will at
once further stimulate genemotor sales
throughout the world.
This removes the last doubt about a
successful starter for a Ford car" he
said. 1T makes the genemotor at least a
% per cent improved system. and comes
about as near trouble-proof as any piece
of electrical machinery I have seen in the
automobile business"
Miller Brothers auto and supply house
whose service department is located at
81 and 81 Pierce street northeast, are the
distributors in this territory for the gene
motor.

THE sleeve-valve motor differs from

of the Willys-Overland Company. who is
largely responsible for the present great
interest in this motor in this country.
THE Improvement with use is explain
ed in n measure by the fact that carbon
deposit has a beneficial instead of an
ill effect upon the sleeve-valve type. The
small amount of carbon that forms in the
motor serves to give the surfaces a
smooth. glass-like finish. Thus, the
longer the motor is used the Quieter and

just the opposite effect on the poppet-
