PAIGE HAS SKIES
ONLY THIS YEAR
A New Model at 81 ,050 With All
Good Points Claimed For
Fairfield "6-46"

on general policy, the Paige-Detroit
Motor Car Company stands pat for
the new season in spite of all excep-
tional conditions in the labor and ma
terial market and unmoved by ten
denotes here and there to experiment
with fancies in design and mechanics
The Paige claim of resounding hit
in the field of Skies seems justified in
view of the popularity of this car and
the fact that six months ago rapidly
expanding business compelled the
erection of large additions to the new
factory that had just been entered
and preparations for new manufac-
turing methods and greater supplies
of material.
The Paige is combining itself exclu-
sively to the Six field in which it has
this company opens the year 1916
with two models, the five-passenger
Six "3S" selling for S1,O5O, and the
even-passenger Six "46," selling for
S1,295. For the latter chassis, how
ever, there are several additional body
styles; the Cabriolet at $1,000; the
Coupe at s1,700; the Sedan at $1,000,
and the Town Car at S2,250; also a
Limousine soon to be added. This is
the Paige line and the company's ex-
hibits at all automobile shows for the
year will be based on these models
and body styles The announcement
is also made that the company has
figured on a production of about co.
600 cars and is guaranteeing it's 1900
dealers immediate deliveries.
OF the two basic models of the
Paige line special attention is called
to the light Six, the Fleetwood Six
"3S" a tive-passenger car at S1,050,
because the changes and improve
ments in this are more marked than
in the larger model, the Fairfield
seven passenger Six "46." The Fleet
wood Six "3S," which replaces the
Hollywood, last seasons light Six, is
offered as a better car with greater
values from every angle. 1t is de-
scribed as a car with bigger, room
ier, more beautiful body. with a larger.
more powerful and smoother running
motor, and with higher quality up
holstery, paint and finish. In every inn
portant feature this newest addition
to the Paige line possesses the good
ness of the Six "i6" adjusted to fit
all the requirements of Il tive-passen-
ger car.
Paige officials declare that the new

Makes $119,O5O on $1,000
of REQ Stock in IL Years

Here's an Aladdin's Lamp story
that comes out of Lansing, where REQ
cars are made.
Every man who travels Michigan
knows the Downey House. one of the
most famous hostelries in the entire
State.
Any one who has ever stayed at the
Downey House knows genial Billy"
Grove. Billy" is now manager of
the Downey House-Chas. P. Downey
has long since come to leave every
thing to Billy" But in 1904 when
the REQ Motor Car Company was
first incorporated, "Billy" held the
position of clerk.
BILLY" was one of the many Lans-
ing people who had implicit faith in
the men who were then starting in
the new enterprise, and he invested
the, to him, large sum of one thou
sand dollars, in REQ stock.
Recently when the REQ stockhold-
ers met and decided TO increase the
capitalization of the company to
$40, 100000 at the same time voting
100 per cent. stock dividend, "Billy"
sat down and figured up how much
his thousand dollar investment had
developed into in the eleven years
since the inception of REQ. He found
that it now amounted to one hundred
nineteen thousand and fifty dollars.
In order to understand this tre-
mendous increase one must remem-
ber that the REQ Motor Car Company
was originally incorporated for only
| five hundred thousand dollars, then
| increased to one million, later to four
millions and now to ten millions; and
that beside the stock dividends de-
elared at those various times, there
has been something like fifteen hun
dred per cent. in cash dividends dis
bursed among the REQ shareholders.
| BILLY" Groves original thousand
dollars worth of stock has developed
into twenty -four hundred shares This
at the present market value, 35, plus
the cash dividends he has received
gives him a net earning on his orig
inal thousand of more than one hun
dred and eighteen thousand dollars.
And best of ALL" says Lonald E.
Bates, secretary and treasurer of the
REQ Motor Car Company, 'is the fact
that Billy Groves story is precise
! ly the story of great many other
/ Lansing people who had confidence
in the men who. organized the REQ
! Company. and whose confidence has
been justified and so handsomely re-
warded."

The gasoline is carried in the cowl,
so the feed TO the carburetor is by
gravity. The clutch is of the cone type,
of special Case design in construction.
An interesting feature in this car is
the deep section of the frame, its
greatest depth being at the point of
suspension of the CantileVer spring.
These springs are attached beneath
the frame, to do away with the usual
overhang. They are attached to the
rear axle by an exclusive means OF
construction. A ball and socket joint
is used, which does away with all
side strain and allows the springs TO
do only spring duty. The body of the
car is all steel, and here again the
Case Company is marking a departure
in the way of doing things. The up
holstery is of removable genuine grain
leather, which means that an owner
can have as many sets as his personal
taste requires. There are so many
times when a change in color scheme
is most pleasing and restful, besides
Offering an opportunity for easy
cleaning, that il is expected that this
feature will cause a great deal of ia
vorable comment. The front seats are
divided and adjustable backward and
forward. as are the clutch and brake
pedal. The lines of the car are some
what unusual, as its designers have
kept away from angles. All of the
lines of the car are curves. from the
broad tenders and cowl to the grace
full slope of the rear of the body. One
of Chicago's well-known automobile
newspaper men, who has made many
trips in this car, pronounces it's per-
formance little short of marvellous"
and believes that the performance of
the car justifies the company in de-
scribing it as the Car That Makes Ex-
ira Cylinders Unnecessary
The representation for the Case
Forty was recently placed with Con-
over & Mehring, as the Case COM
pany intends to further the interests
of the motorcar department apart
from the other lines of machinery.

Six "SS" has every feature of design
and every element of quality which
won great success for the Fairfield;
the same beautiful European stream
line body; full 'U" shaped doors, the
same axle design, the same clutch, the
same transmission; unit power plant;
three-point suspension, the same con-
trail arrangements, the same design
of radiator, the same hand buffed
French glaze leather, the same Pan
tasote material in the top, the same
silk timing gear in the motor, the
same improved oiling system, the same
distributor drive.
The Paige seven-passenger Fair
field at S1,295 and built on the cele-
brated Six "46" chassis, is the car
that caused the Paige factory to be
oversold for the past year. This car
is already an established success hav-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-02-19

ing been thoroughly tried and proven
by the public. 1t is therefore a car
that has long since passed the expert
mental stage.
But the process of refining and per-
fecting has been going on continuously
and in the current series of the Fair
field Six "46" the designers and
builders of this car have brought it
up to the highest state OF perfection.
Paige executives believe that it is a
finished car in every respect-per-
fected to the current day and the
current hour.
George r. Bentley, of the Riverside
Auto Company, assisted by his son,
Paul H. Bentley, have the representa-
ton for the Paige line in the Harris
burg territory, with an excellent serv-
ice station, built and equipped with
every necessary mechanical facility.

ENGLAND MAY BAN
AMERICAN MOVIES
NjNE-TENTHS OF ITS FILMS COME
FROM UNITED STATES AND
FRANCE

LONDON, Mar. 14.-There is renew
ed discussion of the proposal that the
government prohibit importation of
moving picture films, both as a means
of national economy and as step to-
ward building up home industry in the
movie" field
Nine-tenths of all the films shown
in England are imported from the Uni
ted States and France. 1t is estimated
that the trade with American film pro
ducers sends to the United States no
less than $10,000000 year, thus help
ing to build up foreign trade balance
against Great Britain and taking much
gold out of the country.
England is taking to her economies
reluctantly and there is wide diver
gence of views as to the moving pie
ture or cinema" theaters as they are
called here. Several of the leading
London newspapers are advocating the
ban against the imported film and
have grown outspoken in their denun

States are meritorious they assert ina
