CLOSED car season" these StudebakerS
form an exhibition that Is up TO The
minute in style. and yet which has not
sacrificed bit Of the Studebaker stur-
diness and power.
OF course. in addition 10 the special
exhibit OF town cars there are the
standard Studebaker ears. such as the
limousine, coupe and landau roadsters.
The top floor Of the Showrooms Is given
over 90 the exhibition Of a full line
Of Stude baker commercial cars, IN
which there should be special interest
because there are no motor car trucks
on exhibition at the Grand Central Pal
ace show. Studebaker now produces
more commercial cars than any other
manufacturer. and the exhibit shows
the great advantages enjoyed by Stude-
baker in having studied and handled
the transportation problem of retailers
and business men in general for nearly
sixty-four years, IN addition to having
the great mechanical experience OF
building nearly a quarter of a million
pleasure motor cars. The Studebaker
new one-ton model chassis, with vari-
GUS bodies-open express, stake, panel
and 'bus-will be shown for the first
time locally.

On New Model.

A very substantial class Of buyers

Car Company, of Pittsburgh, appear
eager TO see the 1916 model, the sec

1t is said the company has been four
years perfecting its automobile depart

FRANKLIN
STANDARDS
The Only Air Cooled Car al
the Show Sticks to Relia-
bility, Comfort and
Economy.

The days when automobile SHOWS
created sensations merely by the nov
city OF the horseless carriage are not
so far distant as 10 be beyond the rec
objection of the crowds attending tne
big shows this year.
The wears since the first show at
Madison Square Garden have SHOWN
wonderful development, and If the sue
cceding and more popular shows nave
done nothing more than bring TINS de-
velopment TO the attention or the pup
lie and TO promote the further eX-
change of ideas between user and manu-
facturer, they can be said TO be an
institution that has done a great WORK.
Largely through the shows, the pup,
lie has come 20 dictate what IS wanted
in an automobile. Naturally all de-
mands are not alike, but as experience
with automobiles increases and as the
general knowledge concerning auto
mobiles becomes broader, what the
people ultimately require IN an auto
mobile gradually becomes more de-
fined. One need only have followed
the shows each year to see the trend,
or 70 review year by year the cner-
inps Of some of the older manufactur-
Il
always seemed 10 have been designed
with a keen foresight Of what automo-
bile requirements would largely re-
duce 10.
As an example, the demand for
greater smoothness of operation led 20
the adoption of four and later SIX
cylinder motors. both of which types
were first put 20 use in America by
the Franklin. The trend toward light
weight TO secure economy has gained
from Franklin pioneer work along this
line. in the same way as the demand
for greater comfort by discardlng
rigid construction and eliminating
much inspiring weight, or in other
present day Developments Ike
cheney. which require finer workman
ship. better design and better mate
rials than ever before. All these
points and many more mark the evo-
luton of the automobile from crude
machine to the perfection 1t has
reached to-day.
All manufacturers have not APP
preached comfort, convenience, rell-
ability and economy IN the same man
ner. For fourteen years the Franklln
has depended on direct air cooling,
light weight, wood frame, full-elliptc
springs and large tires TO attain these
results. The advance in the industry
which these principles mark are not
unlike what the adoption of the float
feed carburetor represented, or the
throttle control to the engine, or au-
tomato fabrication and spark regula-
ton. In these days of automobile
perfection it seems incredible that
there were times when such things
we're unknown. yet they show the de-
velopment from year 10 year which
the early automobile shows first re-
vealed in the Franklin.
While the Franklin exhibit at the
national shows shows no startling in
novations like these, yet it is again

REQ will be one of them one OF the
"lucky" ones that, having the cash
and the credit and the standing plus
the foresight. was able to cover" on
material and machinery year ago
and is now able to enforce delivery
of them. Five or six of the other
larger concerns are similarly situated,
and these. as | have said. will all make
more than they did last year.
But concerns who must OF neces-
sity buy from month to month their
tents in material; and e;
cially those concerns making assem-
bled cars, who must depend upon
others for transmissions. motors,
aXles. bodies. etc. etc, while others
in turn must contend in the open
market for raw materials, machine
tool equipment with European buyers
TO whom price is no object, will Ger
tanly fall far short Of their calcula-
tions.
Take the matter of bevel gears, for
example. Any one versed in the bust
ness can calculate with absolute ac-
curacy just how many bevel gears 1t
will be possible TO make during the
coming year. We know just how many
machines there are in operation, ana
we know that IL is not possible TO get
delivery on another machine inside OF
a year. Why. we only got delivery
in December of bevel gear machines
that were ordered last May-and our
deliveries were made upon schedule
too.
81 could 60 right through an auto
after another, and tell you just how
long il would be before you could get
delivery Of another one Of them and
the average would be more THAI siX
months.
Taking into consideration all those
factors and the added fact that every
thing in the nature OF factory that 2
few months ago might have been avail
able and purchasable has been snapped
up and is now running day and night
on war orders or supplies for Europe,
how can one figure on a greater total
production this year than last?
at cannot be done.
Although some concerns will make
more cars than last year, IL must be
remembered that several concerns
which made a few hundred or a few
thousand last year are now out o.
business. and that the smaller ones,
though full Of ambition and encouraged
by a ready demand. are yet unable to
advance because Of the impossibility
Of obtaining either the tools or the
raw materials with which to do II.
"No, am not elated over the stu
alton, although on the surface it might
seem TO favor REQ and few others.
Fact is, while we will have more
cars we will probably not make any
more money this year than last, for
the very good reason that the ad-
vsnced cost of materials will greatly
reduce the margin per unit. So, after
all. the only ones who really benefit
are the ultimate consumers"

STEEL WHEELS
Tests Show They Are In Many
Ways Superior to Wood.

Leading automobile engineers are
giving serious consideration to the
subject Of wheels. Very little wood is
used In the construction Of a modern
car outside OF the wheels, and IL Is
question as TO whether or not the wood
wheel can long hold its own.
The wire wheel has gained consider
able Roadway during the last re"
years, but the pressed steel wheel IS
row rapidly coming TO the front as the
future standard wheel for all types OF
cars.
The Case School Of Applied Science
of Cleveland, recently made series
Of tests between compressed steel and
wood wheels, which proved decided
superiority for the metal wheel. IL Is
not only lighter than the wood wheel
but stands up better under the strain
of severe test.
In the experiments conducted by the
Case school the wood wheels which
were used were taken from several
different cars and the pressed steel
wheels were supplied from stock BY
the Hydraulic Pressed Steel Company
which manufactures wheel invented
by Orrel A. Parker, Of New York.
The Parker wheel has been on the
market about three years. In appear
ance il resembles a wood wheel, and
while it is used extensively by a num-
Der of manufacturers, the average per-
son inspecting a new car would not
know that the machine was fitted with
metal wheels unless his attention was
called TO the fact.
There are many advantages about
compressed steel wheels. and II they
could be produced in sufficient guam
tity 10 supply the car builders, 1t is
thought by engineers who are IA
miliar with their merits, they would
soon take the place Of wood wheels.

record for crossing the State of Iowa
by making the distance over the Lin

Bluffs, in a Model az" Hupmobile.
Mr.. Crossman, accompanied by c. J.

ten hours and four minutes, or an aver
age Of 39.4S miles an hour. The pre-
vious record was 1882 miles an hour,
and was held by Hal Wells.
One of the remarkable features Of
