Willys Leading Producer.

The WHY'S Overland Company was
awarded the position OF honor Mt the
automobile show this year for the third
successive season. This was definitely
decided whom the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce made known the
fact that the Toledo concern had done
greater volume Of business during
the last year than any one Of the other
companies affiliated with the organi2a-
ton. As the chamber includes every
one OF the automobile manufacturers
exhibiting at the Palace, and all but
one Of the prominent pleasure car
makers in the United States, this fact
IL particularly significant.
The choice Of space allotments at
the show is one Of the highest honors
that the chamber can bestow, and con-
seauentiy one for which competition
among the various manufacturers Is
exceedingly keen. Each company ~
anxious TO secure that particular loca-
ton which by virtue OF its advantages
points out 70 the public the company S
position in the manufacturing world.
The fact that tho Willys-Overland
Company has won this coveted honor
three times running leaves no room
for doubt as TO which member OF the
organization is setting the pace IN the
automobile industry. The National Au-
tomobie Chamber Of Commerce bases
its selection solely on facts and figures.
No other evidence is considered

Non Skid Insurance.

The memory OF one bad accident is

ure of the mOtorist, and II is therefore
n matter of first importance 10 take all
precautions TO guard against even the
semblance of disaster Of any knde
Mechanical advances in construction
have so improved the automobile that
there is little excuse for smaShes. Per
haps the only risk that cannot he en-
tirely eliminated comes in the use Of
the car on wet and slippery streets.
which brings to the fore the peril Of
skidding.
The skid is one OF the most nerve
racking Of experiences.
There is nothing that makes man
lose his nerve so thoroughly as bad
skid that ends in a broken wheel
against curb or that makes matters
far worse by "side--wiping moving
trolley car.
Here the accessory manufacturer has
come TO the rescue with the invention
of the non-skid chains.
II took American inventive genius
10 discover that If there was sufficient
pressure on a chain IL would take tons
Of effort 10 slide u over wet pave
ment or the muddiest OF dirt roads;
and that the weight Of any car itself
automatically supplies more procure
than is ever needed effectively to stop
a tendency to slide on the part OF the
slippery rubber surface of the tire.
Il was then only a question of max
ing a coat of chain mail in such form
that il could easily be put on and taken
off the wheel
Probably no other device has done
so much to raise the factor Of automo-
bile safety

Goodrich Touring Service.

Motorists appreciate the work of the
Goodrich National Touring Bureau; no
stronger evidence of this could be
wished than the thousands upon thou
sands of requests for assistance which
IL has received during the last year.
"No less than three hundred thou.

Yule. Goodrich New York manager.
"By distribution of two million trip
cards through dealers and two hundred
and forty-nine thousand route books
and maps through branches, Goodrich
Touring information has penetrated
every nook Of the United States.
AT Akron headquarters we have
cared for nearly sixty thousand re
quests for route books and special rout-
ing Some days we had more than
seven hundred letters requesting aid.
while the Goodrich National Tour
ing Bureau has been engaged in dis
tributing material which II has at hand,
IL has also increased the scope oil IT'S

lished, until to-day We have forty dill
ferent publications, each embracing
from twelve 70 three hundred and fifty
different route descriptions, with accu-
rate maps and road logs.
more than sixteen hundred and fifty
different route cards are available for
free distribution. No other organiza-
ton, either public or private, has even
approximated the comprehensive work

complished.

Maxwell Breaking Records.

Daily kilograms from Los Angeles
bring news of steadily increasing rec
ord for the Maxwell car which, having
run uninterruptedly since November %,
has already eclipsed all existing marks
for motor endurance.
At the Maxwell headquarters, on the
first floor Of the Biltmore. dealers and
factory representatives agree that, in
case the run rs not purposely ended, 1t
may very possibly continue until to
tai of fifty thousand miles or more
has been covered without motor stop.
The last message from the Coast
gave the new motor nonstop record as
close to twenty-one thousand miles.
performance best appreciated in the
light Of the fact that the former best
record 2,A049 miles-had stood for
more than three years. This message,
however, limited that, from motives of
craftsmanship, it Is very possible that
the run may be stopped in the near fut-
ure. II is felt in Los Angeles that the
Maxwel's performance is likely to end
nonstop competition for all time. az
the present endurance champions per
Torrance is so impressive as 20 dis
courage any rival attempt. To prolong
the run would certainly have such
result, Pacific Coast sporting circles
declare.

usually these upward extending pipes

thus improves both the weight, cost

I'm the Molinc-Knight and in the
Marmon cars we find a little used but
very good rear spring construction. II
consists OF two semi-elliptic springs
placed across the rear OF the car and
the lower one attached by its ends
near TO the wheels. At its centre Il
supports the other back TO back with
its ends attached 20 the body. Be
tween them Is wooden stop block
which is of some length, and so shaped
that as they straighten under load II
supports them for a greater length and
thus in effect adjusts them 20 the
load. This arrangement permits easy
riding under light loads with light
springs. and yet insures that they are
strong enough to carry heavy loads
when required

The WillyS-K

One Of the chief attractions Of the
WHY'S Overland exhibit at the show IL
tie WHY'S knight car that created such
a sensation last July when it made its
bow 10 the public. This car is par
ticularly interesting to show-goers, as
IT'S price Of SLIPS is lower than that
offered by any other manufacturers
using the Knight type motor.
Heretofore knight type motored cars
have been looked upon as belonging 70
a "de luxe" field all their own. Their
sale has been restricted TO the com
paratively few people who could afford
70 pay high price for the advantages
and comforts this motor affords.
Like most other Improvements that
have been made in the automobile, the
knight motor upon its introduction was
obtainable only at a high price. Its
superior qualities, however, have caused
d widespread demand among all classes
Of motorists, and it is 10 meet this de
mand that John n. WHY'S has brought
this popular type motor within the
reach Of the average pocketbook.
The remarkably low price Is made
possible only by the great manufactur-
ing facilities of the Overland plant and
the fact that the car is being produced
in large quantities.
