Friends Of Fred Harveycutter. of the
| firm of Chesley & Harveycutter, who
was injured at Chesapeake Beach some
little time ago will be glad to learn that
he is now able to be about his house and
hopes to get out to his office next week
The idea being followed by number Of
the manufacturers in not making an an
lnouncement of a new model just at this
season of the year is meeting with popu-
! lar favor all over the country. 1t gives
! the agent an opportunity to dispose of
the cars he has on hand-this year he is
| very lucky If he has even a demonstration
and an opportunity to adjust his busi-
ness that when the new year comes and
| with it the announcement of the new
model machine he is in a position to Law
| Ill d SlOCh. NOSI factories tOQdE When
| the dealers contract is signed insert a
clause that the distribution of the allot-
ment must be made over the entire SELL
| ing year and not only during the busy
season as has been the case in wears
II past. There were some few dealers who
refused to take cars during the winter
months. instead they wanted their whole
allotment during the spring and summer
With the plan of marketing no new
models until the time of the New York
show growing in favor the dealer can
during the months of January and Feb
ruary and the early part of March, which
is the off season in the motor car busi-
ness, lay in the stock for the selling sea-
son. If he does not provide for shipment
of as many cars as he can store during
this period 1t is no ones fault but his
own if when the year does open up he
runs short and the factory cannot take
care of him.
With manufacturers reaching out for
the cheapest and simplest forms of con-
struction on the one hand, and for the
smoothest and simplest operation regard
less of cost on the other, there is no
cause for surprise in the numerous at
tempts that are being made to eradi-
| cate the failings that have so SADLY
clipped the wings of the two-cycle mo-
! tor. Clearly commercially faultless
motor, valveless in the ordinary accep-
! tance of the term, with double the i'm
pulses and twice the power of the four
cycle at given speed and cylinder ca
pacity, would offer highly attractive DOS
| sibilities. With the usual EXPRESSIONS
! of contradictory opinion by engineers
| equally well posted the problem is as vet
unsolved but that a solution either az
frmative or negative, cannot be found
is improbable. Beyond a doubt the two
cycle engine question will be a burning
one until sufficient work has been done
to prove-something. " .-s e'IE I--E
