Franklin Old Model Wins

three of the oldest manufacturers in
the automobile industry and served
to revive memories of automobile
speed contests of the early days in
which these same three makes of cars
were always leading factors.
A 1915 model Franklin, Two Reos
and an Oldsmobile, the Oldest of all

and finished in the order named. At
the finish, the Franklin held the lead
by comfortable margin, having set

U. s. Chain Treads
Make Perfect Score

The annual Chicago Automobile
club contest for master driver" title
was halted at the end of the first days
drive. The master driver" contest
is an original idea of the Chicago All
tomobile club. 1t is the subject Of
great interest in automobile circles.
In addition to the regular contest
ing cars, in Elgin six five-passenger
touring car, shod on all four wheels
with United States chain tread tires,
accompanied the run, serving as the
official car, containing representatives
of the press and the officials of the
drive.
For two days preceding the con-
test nasty drizzling rain had soaked
the roads of Illinois, but it was hoped
that the morning of the contest would
find better weather. However, the
morning Of the run found even worse
conditions. 1t was raining in tor
rents. Car after car of the contestors
was ditched or put out of order while
struggling over the slime and gumbo
mud on their way from Chicago to
Peoria. Elgin Six and Mercer were
the only two cars of the eleven con-
testants that survived the severe test
and reached Peoria with perfect
scores. According to the Elgin Six
driver, Mr.. G. A. Brinkman, the slip
periness of the roads made travel for
the nine of contesting cars impossible.
The rules of this years match were
changed to make the run even more
arduous than last year, when not
single participant finished with a per-
feet score. No confetti was spread
on the route, and on checking out in
the morning the only information
given to drivers was the distance to

Smith Formal

The growth of the Smith Form-a
Truck company, manufacturers Of the
attachment which combines with a
Ford power plant to make a one-ton
truck, reads like one of the romances
of the automobile industry IN the ire

taken place in the short space of fif-
teen months. =.
From a manufacturing idea only
fifteen months ago, the Smith-Form-
a-Truck has risen to the position of
being one OF the biggest single pro-
Queer of motor-driven hauling vehicles
in the country and the sales demands
have already called for minimum
production of 10000 attachments with
in the next twelve months.
The truck attachment uses the
power plant of the Ford and several
other smaller cars, including the
Buick, Dodge, Chevrolet and Max
well, to make one-ton truck.
1t consists of regulation channel
l steel frame with individual rear axle,
\hain and sprocket final drive system
and fits over the frame of the car with
which it is to be used throughout the
entire length, giving a one-ton truck
with 125 inches wheelbase and with a
loading platform OF nine to twelve
feet.
In attaching the truck to the chassis
the rear wheels on the car are taken
off, and the live member of the rear

Nash Introduces Jeffrey
Sedan, the Comfort Car

The decided tendency of the mo-

cars is further emphasized by the
announcement of two new Jeffrey
sedans by the Nash Motors company
of Kenosha, Wis. Simplicity, com
fort and stylish elegance are COM
bined in the new models--four and
six-cylinder types-and the tops are
removable for summer touring. Both
models have ample accommodations
for seven passengers.
The lines of this new Jeffrey top
are in strict accordance with latest
mandates of motor car fashion. One
OF the most noticeable features is the
extra large size OF the French plate
windows These drop FIVE inches to
give ventilation in warm weather,
providing good circulation OF air
without permitting draft on the

|PIERCE- WILL
NOT. ALTER POLICY.
Colonel Clifton, Chairman of
Executive Committee, Tells of
Recent Reorganization.
TO MAINTAIN STANDARDS

Buffalo, N Y, Nov. 23.-The an
nouncement of reorganization of the
Pierce-Arrow Motor Car company has
gwen rise to natural questions as to
the significance OF the move with re-
gard to the continuance of present
policies, which have distinguished the
company heretofore. Colonel Charles
Clifton explains it this way:
The reorganization of the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car company was eff
fected because of the desire of Presi-
dent George K. Birge to retire from
active business. The remaining mem
bers of the old company felt that the
maintenance of past successful pol
icies could be best guaranteed by
changing the form of the organiza-
ton into public corporation rather
than to continue the old closed cor
porate partnership.
Policy the Same.
THE change means absolutely
nothing so far as the established pol
Icy of the company is concerned. 1t
will manufacture and sell along pre-
cisely the same lines which have
marked it in the past and the con-
duct of its business will remain in the
same hands
"Henry May, as vice president and
general manager, will remain respon-
sible for the quality of design and con-
struction and will maintain his I'M
swerving determination to produce
nothing but the best.
Same Sales Plan.
"Mr. w. J. Foss, commercial man
ager, will continue to direct the SELL
ing policies along the same conserv-
alive lines which have characterized
our selling policies in the past, max
ing no change except to direct effort
toward strengthening the agency Or
ganization which has been distin-
guished for its service and efficiency
in the past. +
"A new treasurer will be selected
to succeed me in order that | may
give even more time to supervision
of general administration.
A Promise.
ri have no hesitation in assuring
friends of the company that the high
standards of quality and worth, for
which both passenger and CONNER
cial vehicles, turned out by the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car company, have been
noted in the past will be maintained.
Especially will there be no let down
n the thoroughness of inspection
which we feel has been responsible
for the durability, reliability and finish
of our cars in the past.
"The technical work Of reorganiza-
ton is in the hands of a group of New
York bankers headed by J. and w.

R. c. Smith Takes Agency
For CarburetOr REGULATOR

Announcement has just been made
by R. c. Smith, manager of the Delco-
Exide service station, to the effect that
he has taken the Nebraska agency for
the Seek carburetor regulator. This
carburetor regulator is designed upon
the thermostat theory and is causing
favorable comment among automobile
engineers.
J.. H. Seek, the engineer who de-
signed this device, has gone on the
theory that there is nothing wrong
with a carburetor except that it can
not adjust itself to temperature
changes. With this fact in mind and
in view of the fact that less gasoline
is required to run motor after it is
warmed up" the Seek thermo regula-
tor is designed upon the thermostat
principle and the thermo regulator
adjusts the supply of gasoline in keep
ing with the temperature of the motor.
