ELECTRIC CAR
MAKES SPEED
OF. y MILES


For several years 1t has been rec
ognized That a good electric car ID the
most economical type of automobile
from the standpoint OF operation cost.
The simplicity Of the electric and the
fact that 1t can be driven with safety
by every member Of the family have
also become established facts.
Within the last year or two the
electric pleasure car has forged its
way to the front and has demanded
consideration everywhere because 1t
has proven itself a practical car for
motoring needs
Another reason for the greater pop
ularity Of the electric car is IT'S In
creased speed. The new Detroit Elec-
tries. for instance, can easily make
twenty-five miles an hour. a rate that
Is faster than any city ordinance al
lows: This speed 10 in marked con-
trast to what electricsc q. few years
ago were capable of.
Models Of this popular car are BE-
ing shown by the Richmond Electric
company. local distributors.

MARMON ROADSTER
FuLFILlS DEMANDS
OF DOCTOR USERS

One Of the newest styles in bodies Is
the three passenger Club" or Glover
Leaf" Roadster This design has been
placed on the market by several max
ers and presents a very attractive
proposition to the man who wants a
roadster. but is not fully satisfied with
the seating capacity of only two. The
Club" type Of three-passenger Road
ster has the seating arrangement as
the name suggests, the divided front
seats makes access for the third pas
senger very easy, and since all the
seats are covered by the top the three
people are comfortably placed and
close together.
The question arises as to who should
buy such type of body, and it is in
teresting to note that physicians feel
that this Is a car which will especially
meet their needs. $50
Eve have had many inquiries con.
corning the three passenger roadster
from Doctors, said F. E. Moskovics,
Commercial Manager of Nordyke &
Marmon Company, and these were
not idle inquiries either for good per
cent of the sales of this car have been
these professional men.
If you will consider the proposition
just minute you will agree that it is
an ideal car for doctor who either
rides alone, or only one extra. person
and must have space for medicine
case. The sthree-passenger j, Club"
roadster on the Marmon al" chassis
meets this demand exactly. The front
seat is divided and the third seat is
Immediately in the rear. The extra
passenger can ride in the front seat
and the space in the third seat can be
utilized for the doctors medical case
and whatever else he might be called
upon to carry as we'll as carrying an
other person in case Of emergency. All
the three seats are under top and
there are extra carrying compartments
at the side of the third seat and in
the rear deck" &c.,

FORD CAR ENABLES
OWNERS TO MAKE
INEXPENSIVE TRIPS

A trip Of thirteen days, through six
states and the most beautiful section
of southern Canada, at total cost for
transportation for four people, of
$24.71, is a vacation worth considering.
DR.. A. M. TUNNEL, of Chicago, who
personally conducted" the tour in his
Ford car is authority for the story of
the trip. There's moral in the story
too, which is, that one doesn't have to
go to great expense and seek distant
lands for change of scene and
wholesome good time. The Ford car
points the way to an ideal vacation
trip.
DR.. Tunnels party left their SUI
burban home one summer morning
for South Bend, Indiana, going by way
of Hammond, Valparaiso and La Porte.
The idea was to get used to travelling
by starting with short runs and length:
ening the distance each day, & Other
parties, roughing it in the fullest sense
were met by the way; sometimes two
parties would travel together as far
as their paths conceded, o.
The route lay generally east until
Lima, Ohio, was reached, when the
party turned toward Cleveland. One
of the delights of Ohio was the fine
condition of the roads. Between Nor
walk and Oberlin. the Ford ran for
miles on cement roads, as level as any
urban boulevard.

PILOT CLIMBS

WITHOUT FUSS
George E. Seidel Returns
From Tests Made at Auto
mobile Show at Reading,
PENNSYLVANIA.

Geo. e. Seidel., President and Cen
eral Manager of the Pilot Motor Car
Co. has just returned from few days
visit with the Pilot Distributors In
Philadelphia with the Reading Auto
Show as the objective point. The show
itself was well attended and eighteen
different makes Of cars we're on exhi.
bition. Naturally considerable actual
business was done and friendly rivalry
between the dealers was pretty keen.
So much SO, in fact, that in order to
settle one argument a hill climbing
test-not for speed but as to whether
or not the cars could climb it at all
on high-was suggested. up a stiff
grade near Reading, The test was Sc

Dealers Dodge Test.
The hill in question in, one and two
tenths miles in length, with rise OF
seven hundred and thirty feet from
bottom to top. Also the approach is SO
sharply curved that running start
is impossible. In addition to this
there are ten to twelve hair pin turns
in 1t that necessitated slowing down
to q walk to negotiate them at all.
Some OF the dealers frankly ducked
the test or got out Of it as best they
, could.
Others among them the Pilot deal
ers. eagerly accepted. The net result
was that two cars made the hill on
high--the Pilot Six F1fty-five which
sells for 1855, and one other cara
big six that sells for over $4,000.
Five passengers were carried In the
! Pilot and Mr. Seidel reports that the
. car simply took the hill without fuss
or bother and without miss. The
next day just to prove 1t was no fluke
they went out and did it again.
