Yet they feel no gratitude They are like those

to be SO indignant about, the people who would
read a novel with delight, novel that some writer

with genius, and then throw it aside with express
sions of contempt or indifference.

at is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" Even war has some good re-
suits. The Civil War Of a half CEN
tury ago taught mechanics to duplicate
parts for fire arms and to make machines
for doing this. From fire arms to sew
ing machines. then to bicycles. and final
ly to automobiles those same mechanics
and same shops consecutively turned
Thus we today owe much OF the perfec-
ton and cheapness OF the modern auto
to the mechanical ventures that were
made possible and profitable by the large
orders for war needs.
II there is anything more wonderful
than the perfection of the present-day
car-price, quality and capability consid-
credit has not been widely made known.
And most wonderful of 1t all Is the fact
that even with rising prices on every
hand these wonderful cars are being sold
ago and when compared with other
things very much cheaper than a few
years back. The lover of luxury can to-
day revel in road transportation that
completely overshadows coaches of kings
of any past generation.
Not only will the great show at Grand
Central Palace, January 6 to 13 tell just
what the cars of 1917 hold for US, but
there will be a still larger choice in shapes
and colors of bodies. The clover-leaf or
compact three or four passenger body
with an aisle between the front seats for
entrance will be shown more than ever.
These styles or enclosed and convertible
bodies will be more numerous; and the
fittings for the comfort and needs Of the
users will show a greater consideration
than in former years.
The use Of the electric starter has done
much to make the modern auto almost
as fully equipped with conveniences as a
modern home. This is because the start
er requires a storage battery of electric
ity and having this battery 1t is not trou-
blesome to fit electric lamps where
needed. or even electric tools for almost
any purpose The electric horn has be-
come standard and the electric speedo-
meter is doubtless close at hand.

HINTS FOR KEEPING
CAR LOOKING Clean
Valuable Suggestions for Autoist Who
Likes Well-Finished Motor.

or all seasons Of the year, winter, with
Its cold and moderate, humid and dry
weather combinations, Is hardest on the
body finish of a motor car An owner
may start into the cold months with the
body Of his car plastered with an accumu-
lation OF mud and stains gathered in the
wet driving OF early fall, or he may spend
a half day dressing up the finish on his
car so that the care of 1t through the
winter will be a simple matter. And the
man that starts into the cold weather
with a stained and muddy car Is likely
to leave it that way until spring rather
than breast freezing atmosphere and an
icy hose line.
Set aside a Saturday afternoon for a
general cleanup. first laying in the fol-
lowing stock:
A can of cleaner. There are several
very good cleaners on the market, some
Of a soft-soapy consistency, some In
liquids.
Quick Drying Enamel.
pint OF qulck-drying enamel. A
good luster fender enamel will serve
well. Several manufacturers are mar
keting a black filling liquid which will
serve we'll to cover wood or metal. II
your car Is other than black get an
! enamel to match, but IL that is i'm
possible buy a pint of high-grade spar
varnish.
One small. round-tipped brush.
One can of body-polishing wax, or
liquid polish.
One clean, soft chamois.
One can rim paint
Plenty OF soft rags.
A pint can Of paint to match the
wheels. or any new color you may
wish to have on the wheels.
These materials. together with So
called elbow grease, will enable you
to touch up your car yourself and pos
sibly avoid the cost of spring repaint-
ing. The work applies as we'll for the
car which is to be stored for the win
ter as the one which is to be driven.
Proceed as follows:
First of all. hose the car. II q hose
line is available. If not, wash II down
with warm water. changing the water
at frequent intervals. This hosing
operation should only be done to re-
move the sand and grit and the major
! portion of the dirt. The spots and
stains will come of later.
Drying the Body.
Dry the body thoroughly with soft
cloths. Do not rub the cloths over the
hosing any more than you can help. The
hasing does not remove all the sand and
grit, and one grain OF sand rubbed across
the body is going to leave an ugly
scratch. Pat the wet places with the
cloth until the body Is thoroughly dry.
This accomplished. you will notice that
the finish is mottled here and there with
a gray coating. Do not try to rub this
off with the cloth.
Next apply the cleaner. In the soapy
kind. or the rub-on liquid variety. apply
the cleaner with a wad of soft cloth. Do
not use waste. It will only leave threads
sticking to the body. which will be hard
to remove Rub the cleaner on with short
strokes of the hand. Avoid long. sweep
ing strokes. because a bit of grit under
the rag will make a scratch the length
of the stroke. Better to make a short
scratch. notice 1t. and clean the rag or
use q new one.

CADILLAC COMPANY
To BUILD new PLANT
Buys Fifty Acres in Detroit for Large
and Modern Factory.

Announcement has just been made
by the Cadillac Motor Car Company
that 1t has acquired in Detroit near
ly fifty acres of land. whereon 1t Will
erect large plant to house all OF its
manufacturing activities. While the
present Cadillac factory is recognized
throughout the automobile industry
as being the finest equipped motor car
plant in the world. the company's
business has outgrown present facili-
ties. 1t is also desirable to concen-
trate all operations Of production in
one plant
The site Of the proposed new plant.
on which 1t is expected building
operations will begin next year, Is re-
garded as one OF the most adyantag-
eously situated in Detroit. Its west
ern boundary is the junction of the
Michigan Central railroads main line
with the Lake Shore division Of the
New York Central The former Is the
southern boundary of the property.
with the latter as the northern bound
ary. with the tracks Of the Grand
Trunk a few feet beyond. The Wa
bash and the Pere Marquette are only
a short distance to the swest. which
assures close proximity to the Penn
sylvania also when that road enters
Detroit over the Pere Marquette lines.
IN In6 matter Oh
the site is said to be without equal in
Detroit.
The land is said to have cost ap-
proximately $75O.000. The plant, not
including equipment. will. 1t is esti-
mated. represent an investment in the
Ineighborhood of 100000. 1t will
probably give employment to from 10000
to II 900 persons.
The main advantage to the Cadillac
Motor Car Company will be the ac-
QUESTION of facilities adequate to han
die its growing business. and the
grouping OF its various departments In
one great plant. At present its main
plant is at some distance from Its
foundries. it's sheet metal divisions.
and It's body building plant. Since the
Cadillac Company produces nearly all
parts of it's cars. and builds. finishes
and trims the bodies. etc. the central
| ization of its operations will tend to
increase the efficiency Of an institu-
tion already recognised for high eff
cheney.

manager will have his office at the Con-

station will still be located at the Twen-

given, for the move are that the old loca-

1917 WINSTON CARS
To SHOW NO CHANGES
Models 80 and 48 Will Remain Same,
General Manager Announces.

The Winton 80 and the 4S will be con-
tinued in 1917 without change.
We reserve the right" says General
Manager Churchill, "to increase the price
Of either or both models without notice,
and we may be forced to announce an
increase at any hour. But that is the
only change We contemplate.
THE plan OF bringing out new models
annually has been discarded by the man
ufacturers of hallmarked cars. It is no
longer good form, SO to speak. Socalled
new models have reached the point
where they consist chiefly of mere
changes in size or OF alterations made
to affect selling prices. Body styles
change from time to time, and some max
ers take advantage of new bodies to an
nounce new models, but the W1nton
Company is not dependent upon new mod
practice Is to give each buyer precisely
what he most desires in body style, color
effects and appointments at any time.
The result is that Winton Six cars have
outgrown year-marks. Inasmuch as every
Winton Six is individual in its appear
ance, the car owner himself often for
gets the year OF his cars birth
"Our 4S model is now in its tenth year
and our 33 is now in its third year. The
4S holds the worlds record; no other
single model the world over has so many
years of continued success to its credit
And our experience with the % assures us
that this desirable model is here to stay
for a long period"
