ONE PLEASURE CAR
BY STANLEY FIRM
Local Distributor Tells of the
Mechanical Features of
New Auto

Embodying many new features, the
Stanley model 720. which is the only
type of pleasure car that the Stanley
Motor Carriage Company will build
this year, has been announced by Paul
d. Messner, manager of the Harris
burg distributing branch of the COM
pany.
Included in the list of new mechan-
ical features are: Condenser, pump
ing system, lighting system, burner,
superheater, vaporizer, throttle, frame,
springs, steering-gear and oil stem.
General features improved are: Body
lines, upholstering and tires. OF all
Stanleys, this years car is the most
silent, best riding, best looking, best
performer and best winter car. 1t is
nonfreezing because all water is hot. 1t
will travel 200 miles or more on a
small tank of water
Mr. Messner, in talking with the
Telegraph automobile man about the
1915 Stanley, said: For 1915 the Stan
ley Motor Carriage Company will build
only one type of pleasure car. 1t is
large, roomy, comfortable, five-paSsen-
IT,
130-inch Wheelbase. handmade alumni
mum body, 10 or 12-inch upholstery,
one-man top, clear vision, rain vision
windshield, crowned mud-guards,
clear running boards and electric
lights, with dynamo and storage bat
terry.
';The body is designed primarily for
comfort. The front seat is "A inches
wide and without partition and has
door on either side. The customs in
the front seat. are eight inches deep,
and the back upholstery is 10 inches
deep. The tonneau seat is As inches
wide.
"Following the traditional Stanley
practice, the rear seat does not over
front of it. thus giving additional COM
fort in riding. The springs are full
elliptical in the rear and half elliptical
in front
THE price of the new model is
s1975. an increase in price from $500,
the cost of last years model. The
Stanley Motor Carriage company is
among the few concerns that increas-
ed the price of their offerings for
1915. The money has been put into
improving the car, making it the best
steam pleasure vehicle on the mar
ket." The Stanley mountain wagon
and truck model will be at the auto
show in kelker street nall.
| Motor registrations in New York
the past year netted that State more
than $1,600,000, an excess of $780,
900 over the same period of last year.
More than 10000 automobiles were
registered and $1,000 chauffeurs Ii
censed. These figures reveal about
20 per cent increase in fees, 26 per
cent. increase in registration and 10
per cent. increase in the number of
chauffeurs licensed, there being 1872
900 motor cars registered and 56,22S
chauffers licensed in 1918.

The annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association will be
held next May, in Boston, instead of

the famous highway system of Mas
sachusets.

METZ INTRODUCES
NEW TOURING TYPE
Distinctive in Its Graceful Body
Lines, New Gearless Model
Appeals to Many

1t is one of the significant signs of
the times that the new Metz touring
model, which made its first appear
ance last January at the New York
show, has been received with open
arms so to speak, by the trade as we'll
as the public.
| Dealers all over the country are
evincing a lively interest in this latest
product of the Metz factories. They
are in close touch with the trend of
popular demand. And realizing the
tendency of the public to seek both
quality and completeness of equipment
| in low-priced cars. it is not surprising
that they should discover in this new
touring model. at it's attractive price
! of $500, an opportunity to do an ex-
ceptionally large and profitable busi-
ness in their respective territories.
Style, comfort, and reliability in op-
Grafton are all features of prominence
! in this new Metz. Its wheel base of
| los inches gives pleasing proportions
to its streamline body, and it's instant
one-man top fits down over and fas-
tens securely to the frame of the wind
shield, which is of the rain vision,
built-in type. insuring comfortable
driving in any kind of weather
The seats are wide and comfortable,
and are finished with heavy tufted up
holstery of excellent quality and deep
cushions.
Regular equipment includes Gray &
Davis electric starter, and electric
lights, S2-inch wheels, 3 1a inch Good
rich clincher tires, Bosch high tension
magnetic, Hyatt roller bearings, speed
ometer, built-in gasoline gauge, signal
horn tools, etc.
The engine is a 25 horsepower wat
er-cooled motor of the regulation Metz
type, and the car is operated by fiber
grip gearless transmission, which does
away entirely with all danger of gear
or clutch trouble.
From this brief description it will
readily be seen that the new Metz
touring model is strictly up-to-date
car in every department. Because of |
its handsome appearance it appeals to
one at first sight; and critical inspec- |
ton serves but to strengthen this fa- |
vorable impression, as it plainly and
Enthusiastically offers everything OBJ
tainable in the way of luxurious mo- |
torinS, ana at a cost so trifling as not
to intimidate the average bank ac-
count.
Two of the Metz touring cars and
three roadsters have been sold by the
local agency since February /. The
Metz models Will be represented at the
Capital Auto show in Kelller street hall
by the Metz Sales company, under the
management o fthe Nom brothers.
The production of petroleum in the
United States in 1914 surpassed that
of any previous year in the history
of the industry, according to the
United States Geological Survey, it
being estimated at 292,000,000 bar
ind il
cate an increase of more than 49,
per cent. over the production of
1913 which reached the then high
record of PAS. .446,230 barrels. About
40 per cent. of the 1914 output came
from California and Oklahoma.

High Power Emblem With
Large Bore and Stroke

The Emblem high power motors
have a piston displacement of 1916
cubic inches-about 16 cubic inches
more than that of any other motor
cycle. improvements made in the
mechanical valve actions have result
ed in an engine of tremendous power,
speed and endurance. The new model
has been so improved that the stock
motorcycles are capable of from five
TO eight miles more an hour than those
of last year. While the standard
models are listed as 5, 8 and 10 horse
power motorcycles they will produce
q, IL and IA horsepower, respective
ly. Despite the importance and cost
of these advantages, Emblem motor
cycles are less expensive than before.
The crank case of the Emblem high
power motor is made of aluminium,
very accurately machined to make OIL
tight joints. 1t is of unusually large
diameter to accommodate the large
fly wheels. The crank case is fitted
with a circular oil sightglass, enabling
the rider to see that his motor is be-
ing properly fabricated. The fasten-
ing lugs and magnetic table are parts of
the crank case casting so designed as
to make the removal of a motor
simple and quick process, involving
the taking out of only six bolts. This
type of motor fastening is similar to
that used in the highest type of auto
mobiles.
4 The cylinder of our 1915 motor is of
special one-piece casting, heat-treated
and ground to a mirror finish. There
can be no lealSy points. The large air
space between the cylinder and the
exhaust port allows a free circulation
of air around the cylinder. Together
with the large cooling flanges, this con-
truction results in motor which will
/ keep exceptionally cool at the highest
speed.
! Grip ratchet free engine control will
continue to be used in the 1915 EN-
blem." The ratchet holds the grip in
( to whatever position it is turned by
the rider thereby, either partly or en-
tirely as desired, freeing the motor
from the transmission. With the mo-
tor running free, the motorcycle can
! be mounted with both wheels on the
ground Con hillsides If necessary and
/ endless variation of speeds is placed at
the convenience of the rider, complete
control is always assured, and economy
in gasoline is effected by the riders
ability to take advantage of every op-
portunity to coast.
The wheelbase of the average car
listing at over $4,000, has increased
steadily for five years jumping from
an average of 124 inches in 1910 to
has only been one perceptible increase
five inches. between 1911 and 1912
and since then it has steadily climbed
up one inch per year. The five-inch
jump was due to the six-cylinder
movement. which in that year grew
from practically zero TO A per cent.

rather selfish motive. We don't like
