DETROIT ELECTRIC
AT TOP OF FIELD
Dealer Says Every Big En-

Leader.

I'm every great enterprise there is
one leader who stands out head ano
shoulders above the field" said Il. NJ.
Griffith, local dealer for Detroit Elec-
tries. I'm the grocery business in any
town there is one firm that is consid-
cred best Others may be excellent,
but this one tops them because of
service. quality or the prestige or
years.
The same is true in the manufac-
turing business. In the electric mo
tor car field, Detroit Electrics stand
out above all the rest More than.
one-half Of the electric cars manu.
factured today are Detroit Electrics.
The Anderson Electric Car company
in ten years has become the undis.
puted leader of field of manuia,e
turing which has been entered by no
less than fifty different companies.
ITO appreciate the reasons for this.
one ought to see Detroit Electrics
built 1t can be summed up. how
ever, in a few words. The Anderson
Electric Car company set out to make
the finest electric car that could be
built, regardless of the cost. Then they
set price on it that was compatible
with the quality. They Offered IT just
as cheaply as they could without re-
ducing quality"

Then. Henry. suppose VIC do some
thing else this year. We've been 90

years now, and we've only had one
days vacation "a year out of it. Let's
spend the two weeks together, in rest
ing and playing"

get to the cottage you've got to get
the boat ready; you spenG tho first
day getting II into the water, then you
discover that it leaks, and you spend
another day getting it out again; then
you put in two days calking and paint

into the water; then you and your
brother tinker with the engine for II
day. and the first time you actually
matter. You have to go into the city
for new parts

HOW To BECOME
EXPERT DRIVER
Fred Shaw of the New State
Auto & Supply Co., Gives
a Few Pointers.

Almost anyone may become an eX-
pert driver, but very few do, mainly
because they do not appreciate the
necessity. Most men operate their
cars in a slipshod, half-hearted man
neT, sometimes because they believe
they cannot do better but more often
because they see no advantage in i'm
proving.
Perfection in driving is essential to
the man who desires maximum COM
fort, economy and safety.
Before taking the car out of the
garage an examination should be made
to determine that everything is in
readiness. See that there is sufficient
gasoline. oil and water and that the
tires are properly inflated. Take
nothing for granted; remember that
the habit of guessing that everything
is all right has no place when it comes
to caring for and operating an auto
mobile.
Look at Water Level.
Even if the radiator were just filled
a day or so ago, look at the water
level anyhow, as it is possible that
some of the water has Unexpectedly
boiled away or that there has been a
small leak-hardly enough to be no
tced, but sufficient to half empty the
radiator in the course Of several hours.
That is common.
BE sure that all tires are fully in
flated: actual observation of cars on
the road shows that not one out of
ten has enough air, and lack of air
means shortened tire life and frequent
blowoutS.
Raise the hood and glance over the
connections. 1t is easier to tighten a
loose wire than to stop on the road
and locate a miss. Also examine the
fan belt occasionally to see that it
Is tight.
Give all grease cups a turn or so
and squirt little oil into the various
oil holes; especially do not neglect to
lubricate the rockers if the motor is
valve-in- head type.
Starting the Car.
Throw on the switch and operate
the starting pedal but first close the
shutter on the carbureter intake II
there is one. If the motor does not
start Immediately, do not waste the
battery current by continued crank
ing, but throw off the switch and look
for the trouble. In cold weather it
may be necessary to tickle" the car
bureter or even to prime the cylinder
with raw gasoline
Push the clutch out all the way
and after waiting an instant engage
low gear.
Unless the motor is very cold or the
clutch grabs it will not be necessary
to speed the motor up very much
when the car in started. Most drivers
engage their clutches too quickly.
Act Promptly.
On level ground low gear is merely
to get the car rolling.
The usual way for drivers, especi-
ally those not very experienced, TO
make the shift is first to push out the
cultch and remove the foot from the
accelerator pedal and then reach for
the change gear lever. When the

Let us show you
why you pay $3.50
to $500 LESS
for a Studebaker!

Understand at the start, we don't mean that
you pay less for less value. Not at all. What
we'd like to do is to have a few minutes your
time to show you how and why you can get
POWER, roominess, comfort, luxury every
quality that you expect in car in the SER
les II Studebakers-at $3.50 to $500 LESS
than the price of other cars that equal them.
Detroit's judgment has testified to the mechan-
ica superiority of Studebaker design. Detroit
makes three-fourths of the cars produced in
the country-knows cars from the technical
side as no other city does. And Detroit
registrations during the year of 1915 showed
Studebaker far in the lead of any car selling
at over $500.
Likewise the State of California showed Stude-
baker at the top of its 1915 registrations for
cars selling at over $500. And California kr1o,p9
cars from the performance - having more
miles of good roads and more days of good
driving weather than any other State.
With such testimony back of the cars-ai1d =
price $3.50 to $500 LOWER than any otiier
cars of equal qualty-can you safely decide
on ahy other car? Come in and let us show
you the cars.
