PROOF OF CAR IS IN
 SERVICE II GIVES
Paige Sales Manager Is Interviewed as to
 Sales

When the car owner in purchasing his next automobile chooses the same make that he is driving, he bases his selection-not entirely on style impressions but largely on the day in and day out service he has already received" says Henry Krohn. sales manager of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company That is the supreme test-the best evidence that the owner is thoroughly convinced of the quality and value of his motor car.
 For that reason we feel there is con- siderable significance in the numerous repeat orders for Paige cars. We are gratified at the frequent declarations, My next car will be a Paige
 Large numbers of repeat orders for Paige cars have been received through out the country and these orders run from one to half dozen cars. In sev- eral instances Paiges have been sold in fleets of five and six to men who all ready were Paige owners and whose busi- ness necessitated the operation of a large number of cars.
 'There is a recent case in point which illustrates this tendency. About 10 months ago our representatives, Wetmore-Quinn, sold five Paige siXes to B. F. Taylor whose business is the development of suburban real estate. MT. Taylor main- taliS large IeeI ol carS TOT ms SaleS- men and in addition to his five Paiges las cars of other makes. Since pur- chasing these Paige sixes Mr. Taylor's men have driven each one of these cars between 15,000 and 20,000 miles.
 When the announcements of new mod els began to appear MT. Taylor made a study of what the new market was offering. He made himself familiar with specifications and other points and took many demonstrations. When he had fin- ished looking the field over, he put in

GOODYEAR FACTORY
 TRYING TO IMPROVE
 THE TIRES TT MAKES

For a long time we have carried to truck owners a campaign showing how proper care of tires makes for increased milage," says J. S. Taylor, branch man. ager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.
 "We are trying to build mileage into our tires, and have developed improve ments and features in them, in the last few years, which have resulted in mo- torists getting almost universal satisfac- ton from them. Common sense and good judgment are as prolific of good results fin driving a truck as in any other un- dertaking-and are just as necessary.
 For some owners Goodyear tires travel 15, GOO miles-for others 5000 miles. It seems to me that next to the tire itself, the care given 1t is the most important fac tor in obtaining the maximum mileage. Two tires may be made of the same material-yet one may give five times as much service as the other. The diff ference is that between a good tire plus tire care, and a good tire minus tire care.
 Now that the winter season is here and the dangers of sllidding on snow covered and wet streets multiplied, many truck drivers are using devices to over come the tendency to skid. Every type or nonskid device is, of course, more or less injurious to truck tires, but the least harmful is a loose chain which can work around the entire surface of the tread, distributing the shock. When sta tionary devices are used the shock re- ceved is concentrated at one point of the tire causing an unusually severe strain there, and resulting in the break ing and crushing of the rubber. The en- tire load is carried by a part of the tire equal to the size of the nonskid block or chain. The entrance of sand and gravel into the breaks of the rubber cause them to deepen and lengthen and the tire is soon reduced to scrap rubber.
 eff it becomes necessary to use some means of preventing slidding, whatever device is used should be applied loosely enough to prevent contact with the street at the same point on the tire at each revolution. If this is not done the tire is bound to suffer injury and it's life will be considerably shortened

F|RESTONE RIMS
 IN GREAT DEMAND
One Month Sees 4,OO0,O00 Pounds of Steel Made
 Into Rims

People interested ill the motor car busi- ness and the allied industries have SC long since gotten tired of gaping over DIE figures concerning tires that it takes something unusual to .tartle them. But most people do not realize that the rim industry, too, has had to make immense strides in order to keep within shouting distance of the tire business
 The Firestone Tire and Rubber com pany has recently issued some figures which very decidedly talk for themselves. For example, in the month of December. 1915, 100000 pounds of special steel were built into Firestone demountable rims.
 At the present time the Firestone rim plant occupies more space than the en- tire Firestone factory did five years ago, and in addition a new increase to the buildings 800 feet long and 1o0 feet wide, is under construction.
 The F'irestone company announces that contracts for the coming year include @ of about 125 car manufacturers in the United States who use demountable rims as standard equipment The years out put will be close to 100000 demountable rims.
 One of the big points being emphasized by the Firestone Tire company this year is the necessity for representation all over the country if the car owner is to be taken care of. With this idea in view Firestone representa- lives have been increased until today they number over 1900 well chosen and well distributed service stations throughout the coun- try.

NOTHING BUT SKIES FOR TIE PAIGE %.
A New Model at $105O That Resembles the Famous
 Fairfield

On general policy the Paige Detroit Mo tor Car company stands pat for the new season in spite of all exceptional condi- tions in the labor and material market and unmoved by tendencies here and there to experiment. with ia .:cles in design and mechanics.
 The Paige claim of a resounding hit in the field of sixes seems justified in view of the popularity 0. us car and the fact that six months ago rapidly eX- banding business compellu~ the erection of a large addition to the new factory that had just been entered and prepara- ticns for new manufacturing methods and greater supplies of materia.
 The Paige is confining itse.r exclusively to the six field, in which it has made it's overwhelming success and this con- pany opens the year 1916 with two models the five-passenger six '3S' selling for $1O50 and the seven-passenger six "46' selling for $1Z95. For the latter chassis however, there are several additional body styles; the Cabrioet at $1600; the coupe at $17O0, the sedan at $500, and the town car at S2250; also d limousine soon to be added. This is the Paige line and the company's exhibits at all automobile shows for the year will be based on these models and body styles. The announce ment is also made that the company has figured on a production of about 20,000 cars and is guaranteeing it's 1J00 dealers immediate deliveries
 Of the two basic models of the Paige line, special attention is caHed to the light six, the Fleetwood six ''3S,-. a five-pa ssen- ger car at $l050, because the changes and improvements i'll this are more marked than in the larger mode, the Fairfield seven-p passenger six "46.' The Fleetwood six "3S," which replaces the Hollywood, last seasons light six, is offered as better car with greater values from every angle. 1t is described as a car with bigger roomier, more beautiful body, with a larger, more powerful und smoother running motor, and Wi-n higher quality upholstery, paint and finish In every important feature this newest addition to the Paige line possesses the goodness of the six '46.'' adjusted to fit all the of a five-passenger car.

DODGE BROS. SHOW
 LARGE PRODUCTION

According to Automobile Topics, a trade authority, recent figures sub mitted to Wall street interests with regard to the volume of business done by the various motor car companies during the first nine months of 1915, put Dodge Brothers in fourth place.
 Dodge Brothers have no dealings with the financiers. as the business is owned entirely by the brothers John F. and Horace D., but the figures were submitted by another company Which placed itself considerably further down in the list.
 The accomplishment of Dodge Broth- CTS in one year of starting the manu- fracture of motor cars and then jump ing into fourth place in the nation is regarded as the most amazing per- formance in the industry, which has al- ways been full of surprises.
 No announcement on production plans for next year has been made by Dodge Brothers, but it is known that several new buildings are. being rushed to completion and that the total floor snace of the plant will total more than so acres when these new buildings are occupied.

TRAVEL OVER THE A.C.H|GHWAY SHOWS
 LARGE INCREASE
Nearly a Thousand Miles of Automobile Road From New York to Jack
 sOnville, Fla.

Washington. January b. (Special) Road travel over the Atlantic Coast highway, which is the recently adopt ed name for the Quebec Miami route, increased so rapidly in the late fall and early winter that the touring Information board of the American Au tomobile associaton-to satisfy the multiplying demands for the latest in formation about the main artery be- tween the north and the south-sent two of it's touring experts from New York city to Florida in a trip which proved exceedingly Illuminating. F. L. Ferguson of the Washington headquar ters and J. A. Hemstreet of the New York bureau, who have been over the route several times, found that won derful development had taken place during the past year.
 By careful selection of routing from point to point, in some places making slight detours to incorporate com p1eted highways rather than take more direct line over short cuts of un- improved roads, an itinerary of 1000 miles from New York city to Jackson vile was ladi out in which less than 150 miles of uncompleted highway are included. This 150 miles is made up of stretches varying from one mile to 27 miles in length, all of which is graded and some of which is being sur faced with wearing materials.
 In the entire route from the Hudson to the St. Johns there is only about 25 miles unprovided for as to com pletion of surfacing, the grading hay ing been done and fully one-half of the mileage is at least fair. There are only two very short places which would be ban in continuous wet wealth CT The result of the surveying trip will be put into detailed form to be issued as a special route book connect ing the north and the south.
 Florida now has a state highway commission and the state is busily at work in the accomplishment of a con nected system of roads which will in crease its winter visitors many fold. Both the east and the west coasts are equally energetic and within com paratively short period the Land of Flowers" promises to be gridironed with improved roads, which work will proceed quite rapidly as the need of grading is at minimum because of the topography of the state.
