sively builders of fours'. Two others
center nearly all their manufacturing
activity on the building of fours.' And
the three manufacturers showing the
largest increase in product during the
years were the three building fours'
exclusively.
"In all probability, four out of every
five cars sold last year were 'fours.'
And there is every reason to believe
that the preponderance of fours' in
1916 will be even greater.
There must be definite logic for so
overpowering a majority in favor of
the four-and there is.
-Four won their victory in the field
OF sales on a basis of value and eff
flciency.
The four is the least complicated
manufacturing proposition in the au-
tomobile world and can therefore be
produced in great quantity and at a
more attractive price than any other
type of modern motorcar. Problems
of carburetion with which other manu-
facturers are still struggling are never
present in the four 'Fours' won every
speed competition of 1915 and virtual
ly monopolize that field of effort.
They made efficiency Showings in econ
types. In the hands of owners they
proved themselves the nearest approach
to trouble-proof mechanism yet known.

well four'-has just broken all rec
ords for endurance by running over
ering more than 500 miles a day for
forty -four days, and setting speed rec
ords as well for all distances above

Watch the four in 1915. Watch it
in sales, service to owners and in every
detail of motoring effort 1t is going
TO increase its margin of supremacy

BIGGEST YEAR FOR
4-CYLNDER CARS
Walter Flanders Foretells
Chief Motor Feature of the
1916 Models

To a greater degree than in any prior
season. motorists will. in 1915. be
united on one general type of auto
mobile. declares Walter L. Flanders.
That one type of car will be distin-
guished by the fact that 1t is driven by
a four-cylinder motor. he continues.
More even than was the case in
1915, the greatest year on record for
the four-cylinder car, 1916 will be a
four-cylinder year" predicts the Max
well president and general manager.
The man who views the automobile
industry from the outside is some
times confused by the large number
of cars he sees advertised. cars a great
majority of which seem to feature mo-
tors with six, eight or even twelve
cylinders. A visit to an automobile
show is 3ikely to strengthen this inn
preston, for show space is apportioned
to large and small firms alike.
In view of the condition, the stu
dent of motoring conditions would be
wise to equip himself with point of

Quality Should Be First
Consideration, Says Jefery

The general trend OF the automo-
bile business away from price to quail
ity is evidenced by the large number
of manufacturers who are maintain
ing or even raising their prices.
During the past six months, two OF
the best-known makers have raised
their prices. A canvass among other
manufacturers indicates that there
will be practically no important re-
ductions during the next four or five
months and that in a number of in
stances. the new cars will be of higher
price than those sold during the past
year
Charles T. Jeffery president of the
Thomas b. Jeffery Company of Ke-
nosha, Wisconsin, says that the Amer
lean public has discovered, through
experience, that it takes certain
amount of money to produce a high
grade quality automobile that will run
without trouble and at low cost over
a period of time.
I'VE have always believed that the
American public wanted quality" SAYS
Mr.. Jt cry. I'VE have refused to
sacrifice quality for price and we will
continue to maintain our quality"

MILLIONS MORE
IN TRAIN WAGES
Country Wide Vote Is on For
Better Pay For Rail
road Men.

Many millions of dollars will be add
ed to the railroad payrolls if the 400,-
600 men in train service force the car
rierS to meet their new demands for
higher wages. Engineers, firemen, con-
ductors and trainmen from Maine to
California, on every mile of railroad in
the country, are now voting authority
to their leaders to bargain with the
roads for more money.
The result of the vote will be known
in March, and If it is favorable, as the
leaders confidently expect. a simultan-
eous demand will be made on all the
roads to adopt the new rates.
This is the first countrywide de-
mand by railroad workers for more
wages. The battle ground for bigger
pay checks has never before extended
beyond the boundaries of one section
of the country - the East, the West or
the South; and even in these territorial
struggles the four brotherhoods have
never made joint demands.
The Eastern and Western wage dis
putes of the past few years have been
settled by arbitration. through the on
Grafton of the national laws providing
for counciliation and arbitration: but
some of the leaders of the men have
announced that this will be a fight 10
a finish, and that they are opposed to
arbitration.
This demand, and several imnortant
question on shorter hours, and pertain-
ing to yard engineers and firemen: will
be discussed at a meeting to be held
In Harrisburg, Sunday, January 80.
