LONDON CONCERN TO
HANDLE COLE CARS

Of the multiple-cylinder cars, they
have favored the eight, They have
seen both the Dedion and Sunbeam.
Both have made excellent impress
sions. But in the Cole Eight I be-
!lieye that we fidd the ideal high grade
car for the greatest number of mo-
florists in the colonies. Conditions
there are. similar to those in .Ameri-
ca, and the Car fits their require
ments as well as 1t does those of the
American motorlst.
"They will appreciate the magnifi-
cent beauty OF the car and the fine
attention to finish and detail. which,
in view Of the price, is really revel-
elton. OF course, the car will not sell
for $1,595 abroad. We have to add
about $3.50 for freight. Then there's
$50 duty on the body, irrespective of
its type. Add to this the duty on the
chassis and the accessories and one
can appreciate how the price mounts
upward. For that reason car that
sells for medium price in this coun-
try becomes a high priced car when 1t
is exported and one that has the class
Of the Cole Eight Is bound to give
satisfaction"
Mr.. Chapman was most enthusiast
tic about the prospect for the Cole
line in his field. The first shipment
Of cars will go to the two colonies
within few days.

London, Australia and
New Zealand.

One of the most convincing indi-
cations of the popularity Of the Cole
eight Is the demand which the car has
created In, foreign countries. AS q
result Of It's impressive performance
and the interest manifest In 1t abroad,
the Cole Motor Car Company has been
swamped with requests from various
importing concerns throughout Eu-
rope and South America, aud through
the negotiations which have followed,
has been able to add extensively to
Its list OF foreign representatives
One OF the most important connec-
lions OF this kind that has been made
since the announcement OF the Model
$50 Cole eight is that which was con-
sumated last week with Chapman,

of. international reputation, with
branches in Australia and New Ze-
land. The company will represent
the standardized plant and handle
the entire line in these two British
colonies.
Through the arrangement with the
British concern, the Cole will have
dealers in Sydney. Melbourne. and
Perth, Australia, and in Wellington,
New leland.
H. n. Chapman, representing the
British importers, visited the Cole
plant last week to make final arrange
ments for taking over the line. Mr..
Chapman Is q man Of wide experience
in the motor car field abroad and has
very prosperous in spite Of the war
an important connection with the
allies in securing for them trucks for
war purposes.
In speaking of conditions in the
British colonies, where he will un-
dertake to introduce the Cole prod
uct, Mrl Chapman said:
Australia and New Zealand are
very prosperous in spite of the war
end the absence of more than 100000
Of their men, or one-tenth OF their to-
tai population. Not that these men
have been sacrificed In the battles
along the western battle line. They
have not. But they are at the seat
of war and no longer contribute to
the prosperity OF their country.
"Those who remain are working
diligently, making up for the loss
Good seasons in wool and crops with
accompanying good prices have ADDED
much wealth within the last twelve
months. Depending as they do on
America for a great deal of their bus
mess, both countries have been
to handle their affairs in the regular
routine way despite the war In Eu-
rope, and It is because of the, rela-
ton with this country that is con-
stantly growing closer and warmer,
That the American motor car is gain
ing correspondingly better foothoid
in both Australia and New Zealand.
Nor was It queer that out OF the
whole field Of motor cars. we should
come way out here in the middle
West, as they say. to secure the rep
resentation otfthe Cole Eight. Multi
pie cylinder cars are not new TO the
Australians and New Zealandera, and

The King Motor Car Company. Of
Detfoit displays for the first time at
the automobile show the new eight
cylinder line up of its product for the
coming year. Manufacturing two
chassis that will accommodate either a
hYe. passenger or seven passenger
touring car, five passenger roadster
or i've passenger sedan.
The i've passenger eight cylinder
King Is a continuation Of the last
years product with the list price low
cred. But the higher priced eight
cylinder King has many improvements
including newer construction and
large units.
The product makes Its debut at the
show after being put through Cruel
ling engineering tests in different
parts of the country. Under the guild
ance of Assistant General Manager ].
B. Slegfried, FIVE engineering test cars
have been whipped through gumbo
mud in various parts OF the country,
over level road for speed tests and in
the mountains OF the East and West.
Climbs Mountain on High.
The last test was through the Col
orado Rockies where the big KING
eight climbed Lookout mountain, over
six miles to an altitude of 1900 feet
on high gear. This feat was followed
by what Is said to be one OF the most
gruelIlng tests ever according motor
cur. Chief Engineer L. P. Chase and
his experimental crew sent both King
models over Lookout mountain, Cen
essee mountain and Berthoud pass I'M
der the most trying conditions and a
terrible snow storm. Facing a fifty
mile gale, zero temperature and q

its naelstrom OF the air the King
ploughed new trails through the I'M

snow banks ten feet high. The car
was given power and hexlbllity test
such as could not be staged unless
the same kind OF storm set into the
mountains again with an engineering
test party awaiting It.
Aluminium PistOns Used.
Officials of the King Motor Car Com
pany were anxious to test the units
thoroughly in the new car. They have
much confidence in this big 100 inch
wheelbase King that carries a three
inch bore and five inch stroke motor.
The cylinders are staggard, aluminium
pistons arc employed. Many unique
and novel arrangements are made for
the employment of the huge power
under the cars bonnet and considera-
ton for the safety and comfort OF the
cars passengers.
The new seven passenger King has
graceful lines following along the
styles OF the White and Mercer which
has caused such favorable comment
In the automobile market generally.
The lines merge from the hood TO the
cowl gradually slipping upward and
outward till they end in full rounded

!. TIRE SERVICE.
Is Wonderful Thing for Auto.
/ mobile Owners Who Drive
Their Own Cars.

If you had tried to explain free road
tire service to a Clarksburg motorist
Of few years ago he would have
reached for the telephone to call a
policeman to take you in charge. That
an automobilist having tire trouble
could simply go to the nearest tcle-
phone and have q fast tire service car
beside his machine In less time than
he could change the tire himself would
have sounded like fairy story. If
you had told him in addition that 1t
was free. day or night, that would
have clinched 1t. The bug house" for
yours.
Free tire service Is simply mani
festation OF how the service idea is
keeping pace with the increasing NUM-
Der OF automobile drivers having no
mechanical inclination. Time was
when puncture was a calamity. es-
pecially for a woman driving alone.
Now she simply calls a service car.
According to Mr. Garrett, of tho
Clarksburg Tire Company, their now
greatly enlarged service rooms in Sec
ond street and additional service cars
will do much 10 add to the pleasure
Of motoring in Clarksburg this sum-
mer.
