Lowers Record OF Train FSstween
Atlanta and Chattanooga

Drawing down the third American
road record to he captured by Chal-
n7ers six-3a in the PAST three weeks
Homer G. George. newspaper man ana
amateur driver Of Atlanta. Ca. mas
lust lowered ali road and rail records
between Alta nta and Chattanooga
Tenn. Mr.. George drove a fve-pas-
senger Chalmers touring car, which
has been used as demonstrator ny
the Atlanta dealer for the past seven
months.
In lowering the road record former
" held by K T. McKinstry In REQ
six, George also bettered the time of
the famous Dixie Flyer, the fastest
passenger train running in the South
by seven minutes The $500 r. P. NJ
Chalmers made the 125 miles between
Atlanta and Chattanooga in three
hours and ffty-three minutes, or
thirty seven minutes faster than the
Rio Six
Our record OF th!rty-three miles
per hour. for the trip is rendered all
the more remarka BILE by the conditions
under which the test was rum said
Mr.. George at the conclusion OF his
trip. The car a dealers demonstra-
tor. was fully equipped, and had re-
ceived no special tuning up for the
event. Twenty miles OF the run were
tTTOukH HcdNN RAIN, anu We
were also held up in crossing the
mountains and by meeting big droves
of cattle on the road. The many
sharp turns and twists in the noun
tain road made high speed work ex-
tremely dangerous, and we had TO
slow down to walking pace at
times. The performance Of the high
speed motor in the Chalmers six-3o
was Absolutely faultless, Not missed
explosion or stop for repairs marred
the trip, and ] believe faster time
could be obtained by my car under
more favorab BILE weather conditions"

MARVEL aus ADVANCES
MADE IN INDUSTRY

The marvellous advances made IN
the automobile industry since the ad-
vent of the electric self-starter on the
1912 Cadillac are no more interesting
than the development of the storage
batteries for use with self-starung
devices on gas cars used during the
same period
The battery used on the 1912 Gail
lac was an Exide, made hv the Eco
trio Storage Battery Companv n
Philadelphia This was a new field
for stora ge batteries and called for
new type, based on radically differ
ent standards OF design from previous
principles Of battery construction and
operation.
The success OF the early type
proved that the Exide v-as construct
ed on correct principles Since that
time the Electric Storage Battery
Company has perfected and refined
starting battery designs with the re-
sui, that today az when electric
starters were introduced. the Exide
starting and lighting batteries are
well 70 the front. Over s75 0oo ES-
.de starting batteries are now IN use.
