Couldn't Change Four
Say Jefery Engineers

In announcing it's plans for the
coming year, the Nash Motors COM
pany of Kenosha, Wis, states
that there will be no essential chang
es in the Jeffery Four, which for
three years has been rendering eff
cient service in the hands of thou
sands of satisfied owners.
Sixty days ago the Jeffery company
announced that it had added to the
four-cylindor model the same grace
full roll-edge feature that met with
such widespread popularity on the
Jeffery Six. In the course of redesign-
ing the Four's body there was some
slight change made in the radiator.
Otherwise it is the same -Four as be-
fore.
The Jeffery Four occupies a dis
tinctive position in the trade, it being
the car in which the Jeffery engineers
introduced to America the hgh-speed
long stroke, high efficiency type of
motor. This species of motor met
with instantaneous favor; and to-day
Its praises are sung by all the lead
in, manufacturers in America.
The roll-edge feature was added to
satisfy the demands made by hun
dreds of motor car buyers who saw
and liked it on the Jeffery Six. All
who saw the Six wanted it's beautiful
lines Incorporated in the Four.

These men will gather at the home

readiness to take them on their jour-

In the early part of the afternoon
these men will renew their boyhood
days and romp through ball games
and pitch quoits with all the joyous
spirits of youth. Later in the after
noon the party will journey to Cedar
Point near Sandusky where they will
be the guests of President Firestone.
After taking n dip in the waters of
Lake Erie, supper will be served at
the Hotel Breakers. After breakfast

from mingling in this fashion. In
previous years the outing has been

Mr.. Miller a visit and consequently
his farm was chosen as the main
gathering place.

Motorcycle Ambulance
Accommodates Two Persons

The recently perfected Indian Mo-
torcycle Ambulance which has Just
been announced by the Hendee Man
ufacturing Company, of Springfield
Mass, is far in advance of any other
vehicle of it's kind yet produced.
The stretcher carrier is of the dou-
bic decker type, accommodating two
persons each trip. Regulation
stretchers are used, but they are fitted
with special pedestals which set into
sections of the carrier frame where
they are clamped to prevent slipping
The chassis on which is mounted the
stretcher frame is of special reinforced
construction with such features as
Vanadium steel springs, and adjustable
tread.
The power plant of the outfit is the
latest Indian motorcycle with the ia
nous Powerplus motor. The Power
plus motor is one of the most Won
derful stock motors ever made. and
its popularity among motorcyclists
has increased by leaps and bounds
since its first appearance. It is cap
able of climbing the steepest of hills,
and 1t has speed up to sixty miles per
hour. Other features which make the
Indian motorcycle most adaptable to
ambulance work, are the Cradle
Spring Frame, three speeds starter,
double controls, and heavy duty
clutch.
Another feature of the Indian Am
bulance is the First Aid Cabinet which
is beneath the lowerstretcher on the
chassis. This affords opportunity for
the ambulance attendants to give
dressings right on the battlefield with
out the delay which would be occas-

two men were closing Premier terri
torial contracts. Homer Mckee,
Premier Advertising Director, has
been spending the hot weather up to
his neck in work. and it is thought
that his approaching campaign, in
behalf of the Aluminium Six. will be
the most noteworthy ever planned and
written by the author of The Stand
ardized Car" Mckee says it's lucky
that he caught the summer months
for the preparation of this campaign
because the days are longer.

reasonable conditions to which a mo-

say truthfully that the new Premier
Aluminium is the most successfuP car,
mechanically, with which 1 have ever
been connected. have never seen a
car with such pulling power at low
speeds, and the magnetic gear shift is
100 per cent. From a standpoint of
looks, it has no superior and few
equals. This feature of the car is due
entirely to Charles S. Crawford, our
assistant chief engineer. 1 believe that
Crawford knows more about putting
art into a motor car than any man in
the business. His most notable feat in
the new Premier is the obtaining of
as much room on a wheel base of
1851 inches as has ever been pos
sible heretofore on a wheel base of
1919 inches"

edge that the Goodrich Company is
putting the utmost possible into every
product-then he might revise his re-
marks.
The employees are the soul of the
Goodrich-their handicraft bears the
stamp of personal interest. For every
employe of the Goodrich organization
knows it as Our Company"
There's a little pride in that-not
vain glory, but the honest pride that
rests on self-respect which is justi-
fed.
I'VE might say that it is pride that
comes from being the greatest man
ufacturer of rubber goods in the
world Or we might say it is based on
the knowledge that Goodrich products
are anticipating the needs of the
greatest industries as no other prod
ucts can.
But all that-great as it isis real
ly not what makes the organization.
There is fine old saying. In unity
there is strength" And unity cannot
exist without a spirit-the spirit of
friendly cooperation. of enthusiastic
service built upon proven confidence
in the goods and in the men who are
the vital human element in that really
living entity which the world knows as
Goodrich"
The splendid part of it all is that
each one who has his share in build
ing and upholding the name of Good
rich knows that every other man in
the organization is working with him
and for him, and knows that he is CIV
ing that strength which is called forth
only by unity OF purpose and unity
of effort.
THAT is a spirit which cannot be
created but must be born OF belief
it's the life blood that surges through
the veins of this living organization.

part of such an organization that
prompts US to say Our Company,

Auto Dealer Must Attend
to Wants to the Car Owner

THE best definition of service. as
applied to my automobile business, is
the making OF satisfied users said
Carl Hanson, of the Overland Harris
burg Co.
The average car owner demands
nothing more than courteous treat
ment from the man of whom he pur-
chases his machine and if his needs
are taken care of quickly and econo-
mically, he will in almost every case
continue to favor the dealer with his
patronage.
I'm many respects automobile SER
vice is no different from that of ho-
tel service. A hotel may boast of the
best che in the world, but if the SER
vice is poor, the guests will soon be-
come dissatisfied and the chances are
that the next time those people visit
the town they will select a different
place. The relations between car
owner and dealer are very much the
same. The owner will continue to do
business with a dealer as long as he
receives proper treatment at his hands,
but If the dealers interest in his Gus
toner ends with the sale of car he
has little chance of selling him again
when the time rolls around for the
owner to invest in a new machine.
THAT is why it is good business
policy for the dealer to pay strict at
tention to the wants of the car owner
And if stranger drops in the sales
room to inquire about some mechan-
ical feature of the car you are hand
ling, make him feel before he leaves
that it is a pleasure for you to render
such service. A little attention and
courtesy on your part may mean the
sale of car later on.
The same treatment should be ac-
corded the car owner when he drives
in for any needed repairs or replace
ments. See that his wants are taken
care of promptly and efficiently and
that he is charged only a fair price
for the service rendered. By doing so
you will make of him a friend for life

All motors more or less good for the first

But the sliding sleeves of the Wi11ys-Knig

smoother. Each 1000 miles you run add to
it's economy and efficiency.
No Willys-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
The 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 thine-at
popular price.
No other car in the entire history of the auto

same price class ever sold so rapidly
