Steam Power.

The power of steam was known to
the ancients, mechanical contrivance
in which it was used being noted by
Hero of Alexandria about 100 b. O.,
but nothing came of 1t, and 1t was
not till the seventeenth century that
it's power was again recognized.

Another Cadillac Record
Up Mount Washington

An Eight-C Cylinder Cadillac has Just
established a new record of 32 min
utes to the summit of Mt. Washing
ton.
Starting at 1850 a. m, 2. w. Colson
drove a Cadillac seyen-passenger
touring a from Glen House and ar
rived at the summit of Mt. Washing
ton at 1922.
The distance traversed was eight
miles. and the elevation OF Mt. Wash
ington-which is in Coos county, New
Hampshire-is 6.293 feet.
h previous record of so minutes
was held by a high-powered six-cylin-
der car.
The Cadillac which made the pres
ent record was a stock car belongine
to Mrs. Chevers. 1t is a very signih-
can't fact that when the car arrived
at the summit. the engine was sufh-
GENTLY % to permit bystanders to
place their bare cheeks against the
radiator. according to the statements
Of those present.
It is also interesting tt note that the
car used was one which had seen 1000
miles of service. during which time il
had not been found necessary to grind
the valves.
The time from Glen House to the
summit was taken officially by teIe.
phone from Glen House, and was veri.
fed by Clerk Dodd. of Glen House
who was a passenger in the car.

Our Large Industries Are
Bulwarks of the Nation

More and more the nation is COM
ing to realize the value in a highly
organized army OF experts industrial
ly trained to the highest pitch OF eff
ficiency with Quality for w~atchword.
We have a forcible example of the
successful working of such an organi-
zation in the recent announcement by
the F1restone Tire and Rubber Com
pany of the phenomenal growth of its
business and the PSI per cent. increase
of sales In the past five years.
In that short space of time-since
they moved into the new factory. the
organization has advanced at this rate
TRIPPING the size OF the factory,
which was. five years ago, already the
largest exclusive tire plant in the
world.
Quality is of course the answer
the high standard in men and mater
ials-never relaxing the vigilance nee
essary to produce the best.
When you get such efficiency. with
quality ever ahead you get also the
demand, the volume of sales which
bring down cost of production.
In the colossal success of the Fire
stone Organization you have an indus
trial benefit to the country which, in
time of need might prove the answer
to a national crisis.

Hughes Delivers First
Speech at Dodge Factory

A former justice of the Supreme
court stood within the test track of
an automobile factory the other day
and delivered the first speech on his
campaign for the presidency of the
United States to a crowd of men in
their working clothes.
Opening a presidential campaign on
the test track of an automobile fac
tory is no common occurrence. Motor
car men and politicians are talking
about It.
The plant was Dodge Brothers. The
candidate was Charles E. Hughes.
The speakers stand was situated in
the Dodge Brothers oval test track
the track on which cars make their
first run after being assembled and
their last before going on the mar
ket. It is the track on which the car
must give proof of quality before go
ing out into the world seeking public
approval.
Ten thousand men cheered wildly
and waved 10000 American flags as
the judge circled the track after his
speech and went the way of the mo-
torcar - out through the immense
building where the car is housed
while under probation, down the long
and now gaily decorated passageway
to the factory gates, then out-out in
to the world seeking public approval.

Apperson Official Says
Quality Demands Increases

That there is a steadily increasing
demand upon the part of automobile
purchasers for quality cars, and that
the discriminating buyer is the most
satisfactory customer to 10 business
with was the gist of some remarks
made recently by Elmer Apperson,
pioneer motor car manufacturer.
Ever since the early days of the
industry I have continually upheld the
idea that there would be a healthy de-
mand for motor cars among the class
of people who have mean enough to
permit of their buying a quality car.
Having this idea in mind. I have al
ways insisted that my company build
a high-priced quality a - n that
satisfies all the requirements of dis
eliminating buyers. 1t is a signifi-
cant fact that the great majority of
Apperson owners are motorists who
have driven a a car for a number of
years. and therefore. know what a
good car should be by reason of long
experience.
when we announced the Apper-
son Roadaplane recently. to list in
the two-thousand dollar class, a num-
Der of would-be prophets tried to dis
courage us by saying that the demand
in this class was decreasing rather
than becoming greater. We believed
enjoying the satisfaction Of knowing
we were right. The demand for the
Roadaplane has gone so far ahead of
our expectations and plans that we
have never been able to fill orders fast
enough.
IF. my twenty-four years of auto
mobile manufacturing experience al
lows me to see the situation correctly,
I candidly think the car in the two
thousand-dollar class will continue to
be the most popular product on the
motor car market"

Thirty-three Per Cent.
Increase in Hupp Sales

That the demand for motorcars
continues is shown by the statement
Just made by the Hupp Motor Car
corporation for the month of July.
The Detroit ice showed another
big increase in business for July with
a 33 Ia per cent. gain owe July
1915. The statement bears added sig
nifcance as July and August are con
sidered the slack summer months in
the motorcar industry.
The July statement of the big in
crease in business for the four cylin-
der Hupmobile follows the announce
ment made the first of July by Presi-
dent J.. Walter Drake on the bust
ness done for the 1916 selling season
which closed June 80. The state
ment showed an increase of 47.3 per
cent. for the year. The July record
also demonstrates the good business
judgment of the Hupp officials in out
lining their policy for the next twelve
months. In his announcement Presi-
dent j. Walter Drake said:
Our faith in the future of a car of
the Hupmobile type is unlimited. We
are adhering strictly to the four-cylin-
der practice. In the Series n Hupmo-
bile, we have developed a car, the pub
lie demand for which has greatly ex-
ceeded our production capacity. We
have no radical changes to announce
with h start of the new selling sea-
son, although each series of five thou
sand cars has contained such minor
improvements as our engineering de-
partment has developed from time to
time.
while a general automobile sales
report of the past year would show
one of the most unusual selling sea
sons in the history of the motorcaI
industry, it is our belief that the future
holds equally bright prospects.

Chalmers Wins First and
Second on Pixies Peak Climb

Skidding around a hairpin turn,
edged by a 1900 foot drop into space,
a low gray car shot past Glen Cove
Inn half way up the side of Pixies
Peak on the afternoon OF August 18th.
A roar from the exhaust and the ma
chine with a boyish looking driver at
the wheel disappeared from view. It's
junk shouted a small urchin al the
turn. The crowd rushed up to view
the anticipated accident. Their fears
were relieved only when the small boy
explained that ne had merely an
nounced the drivers name,
From the top of the peak a few
minutes later came the telephone mes
sage that Fred. H. Junk, in a Chal-
mers Six had captured first place in
the Class Z event Less than rs sec
onds behind Junk, finished his can
mate, Roy Stentz. in another S.400 R.
p. NJ. Chalmers, 1t was the first time
in h history of American hill climb
ing events that two machines of the
same make had finished in one two or
der.
Junk, the 20-year-old driver of the
winning Chalmers, refuses to believe
that his name spells anything less
than success. In Saturdays race for
the Spencer Penrose trophy he pitted
his car against monster racing crea-
tons with twice the piston displace-
ment OF his Chalmers and finished
In third position. Defeating old heads
in the racing game, such as Barney
Oldheld, Hughie Hughes, BuZane and
Patterson, is acknowledged a fair feat
for any driver. But Junk. winner OF
his first race, modestly gives credit
to his Chalmers Six for the victory.
My little car simply ate up those 10
per cent. grades on the straightaways,
and when it anne to the turns a simple
twist Of the wheel to right or left did
the rest" says the youthful pilot.
In the opinion OF race spectators,
however, Junk's skill in negotiating
the hundred or more angles and turns
in the curse were largely responsible
for his win. On the most dangerous
mountain highway in the world. from
a racing standpoint, he lost hardly a
second in making the turns, and was
on his way UP the next grade before
the crowd at a given point could rea-
lie he had passed. During the two
days racing over the 12H mile course
to the summit of Pixies Peak. the
Chalmers cars were the most consist
ent performers at the meet, finishing
in every event entered. Both cars
averaged 80 miles per hour over the
course which is ~ per cent. curves
and has 10 per cent, grades over half
it's length.
On the second days racing, clouds
drifted half way down the mountain,
obscuring the road and making it i'm
possible to see 20 feet ahead. Under
these conditions the speed made was
little short of phenomenal. AS a test
for stock cars, the Pixies Peak climb,
14,109 feet into the clouds, will prob
ably continue to stand as Americas
premier event for some years to come.

Premier MotOrcars Will
Be Advertised in DaiIies

'If all the money that has been
spent foolishly in motorcar advertis-
ing could be reclaimed n turned
owe to a good roads commission, we
would soon have boulevards over the
entire country. and there would be
enough money left to keep these roads
up In good shape for at least ten
years."
This coming from P. D. Stubs, gen.
eral sales director OF the Premier Mo-
tor Corporation of Indianapolis,
should make motorcar advertisers sit
up and think, in as much as Sales Di-
rector Stubs has secured a country
wide representation for the ALUMNI
mum Six with Magnetic Gear Shift,
without a line of promiscuous adver-
Using.
1.-THE only cooperation" he contin--
ues, (which we have received from
any advertising avenue. aside from
the two inserts in the motorcar
trade journals, has been the personal
aid rendered by individual newspaper
men. The help given US by newspaper
men cannot be over estimated. In
five days after Homer Mckee took
charge of our advertising he had OBJ
tanned from newspaper friends a
complete and dependable report on the
entire dealer situation from all over
the country. These newspaper men
were friends of both the dealer and
our factory and served in many in
stances as ambassadors. One of the
most important cities in America was
closed for Premier almost wholly
through the activity of a newspaper
motor car editor.
Premier cars will be sold pretty
largely through newspapers, at least
so per cent. of our entire appropria-
ton having been set aside for this
form OF advertising. The remaining
so per cent. is to take care of our en-
tire advertising expense, including
clerical work and salaries. The Prem
Ter announcement will in all proba-
bility be made the latter part of Sep
TENDER and it will consist of a news
paper broadside covering every i'm
portant city. Even at this writing we
have closed with approximately 500
dealers which constitutes about q rs
per cent. distribution.
Our present organization could
consume in 1917 twice as many cars
as 1t will be possible for us to build,
in spite of the fact that our 1917
schedule calls for 10000. 1 am firm
ly convinced that a factory could dis
pose of a large volume production
solely through the use of newspapers.
l believe on the other hand, that un-
der present conditions a limited
amount of general national exploita-
ton is advisable. but newspapers
should be the backbone of n motor
car selling campaign and they will
constitute the backbone OF the whole
Premier's sales effort"

Hughes didn't have any such sign on
his Duesenberg when he started out
on his mountain climbing jaunt. But
the situation vas similar, and he went

The Only Motor
That Improves With Use

The WHY'S Knight motor appeals to every true
economist.
It is the only motor in the world that improves
with use.
The longer it runs, the smoother, sweeter and
more powerful it becomes.
All motors are more or less good for the first
three or four thousand miles. Then the
wear, tear and friction start their deadly
work and gradually eat their lives away.
But the sliding sleeves of the WHY'S Knight
Motor get smoother and smoother and
smoother. Each 1000 miles you run add to
its economy and efficiency.
No Wil1ys-Knight Motor has ever worn out.
No carbon troubles, no pounding and banging,
practically no gear shifting. Just a gentle
operation that's as smooth as silk and as soft.
No valve grinding. Carbon makes it run the
smoother-the only motor in the world that
makes an advantage Of carbon.
Tn Knight Motor is the power plant pre-
ferred BY Kings, Queens and royalty of
Europe. They all use it.
And now you can have the same thing-at a
popular price.
No other car in the entire history of the auto
mobile business ever attracted such inter
national attention No other new car in the
same price class ever sold so rapidly.
OIOp IN ana nave a look at the W1lyS-kn1ght
motor. Drive it yourself and feel it's Won
derfu1 power, pep and flexibility.
Once you own a Willys-Knight motored car,
you'll never be content to drive anything else.
Come in and see it at once.
