Advertising Essential to
Inform Public of Merit

This year as heretofore we will
continue our liberal advertising pro-
gram In national publications, farm
and trade papers and we will also
conduct larger newspaper campaign
than ever in the past" declared John
n. WHY'S, head of the great Willys-
Overland Company, of Toledo, in
answer to a question concerning his
future advertising plans. 1--WE find
our various models of cars even more
attractive than ever before; careful
and shrewd buying has fortified us
against any possible shortage of ma
terials; the country is enjoying an I'M
lprecedented wave of thrift and pros
perity, and our factory facilities-in-
cludlng new buildings and euuipment
are sufficient to warrant an output
of 100000 cars for the year"
Advertising is just as essential in
the modern manufacturing business
as Is the factory In which the pro-
duct is turned out" continued Mr..
WHY'S. IF you are building a pro-
duct of real worth and merit. II is
| obvious that you should inform the
public of that fact and thus build IN
market for your product The man
who has something worth while to
sell and does not advertise that fact
is hiding his light under the proyerb-
ial bushel and, nine times out of ten
he gets nowhere.
When I authorize an advertising
appropriation, 1 first make myself
absolutely certain that the models of
cars which we are producing are
worth talking about. I want to be
sure that we have something in which
every reader of advertising will be
especially interested. Then, too. one
must take into consideration the gem
eral conditions existing as to avail
ability of material markets, general
tone of prosperity throughout the
country - because if the people
haven't money, there is no use in try
ing to sell them automobiles = and
also consider our factory conditions
relative to the size of the output which
we can safely figure on turning out.
Il have just spent considerable
| time in looking into all of those
points have just mentioned and Won
can say for me that general condi-
| tions, affecting both the public and
the WHY'S Company, were
never more promising than they are
this Fall"

MOTOR VEHICLES
DHPLACE HORSE
Maxwell Co. Among Firms
Who Have Demand For Light
Commercial Chassis

This is a Golden Age for horses.
Theres nothing for them to do. Not
only has their usefulness in the social
sphere become thing of the past, but
now they are being crowded from in
dustrial activity. Look around the city
streets and you can't fail to observe
the scarcity of horses in delivery work.
The commercial motor vehicle is
rapidly coming into its own and with
its ascendancy, horses are becoming Il
negatiYe quantity in the great whirl
of city traffic.
Business firms and corporations hav-
ing great amount of light delivery
work are coming more and more to
the realization that the light delivery
car furnishes the solution to their
transportation problems. Not only pri-
Nate corporations, but great munich
pal, State and Federal departments,
are introducing them into their work
and 1T has been found universally serv-
iceable. economical and dependable.
An ever-increasing demand for. the
Maxwell chassis for light delivery our
poses is reported by the Maxwell Mo-
TOR Company, Inc, of Detroit. This
demand has increased correspondingly
with the great increase in the demand
for the standard Maxwell passenger
car models.
Recently four commercial vehicles.

department in Mobile, Ala. These
cars are used particularly for the
handling of the United States mails
10 and from trains and steamers and
also in the handling of the parcel post
delivery service.
Although these cars have been in
the government service but q short
time. it has been amply demonstrated
now they expedite the service. The
postal authorities at Mobile are we'll
pleased with the increased service
that followed the installation of the
Maxwell fleet.
The bodies are artistic and service
aole. Every piece is mortised and the
WIRE screens are adjusted so they fit
perfectly. Built on the Maxwell
chassis, each car weighs about 1900
pounds.
The low price of the Maxwell chassis
is made possible by the immense pro-
duction at the Maxwell factories. The
CHASSIS comes all wired and ready for
body to suit all light delivery re-
quirements.

Development of Transmission
AS Applied to Motorcar

Ihe essential problem in the de-
Nelopment of the automobile has been
not so much the production of power,
as controlling the power after it has
peen produced. Elwood Haynes ran
MS i1rst car without clutch or trans
mission, and it was necessary to solve
these and other problems of power
control before the automobile was
anything like a serviceable piece of
mechanism
Elwood Haynes himself furthered
the usefulness of the motorcar in
the early days of the Industry bv de-
signing the first working transmission.
Wn1ch was of sliding gear type. In
this the gears for the three speeds
We're operated by long fingers, actu-
ated in turn by the drivers hand le-
YER. Instead of a walking stick or
slot arrangement, the lever was pulled
Dack Tor reverse, and pushed forward
to the first, second or third notches
Tor the forward speeds. This type of
gear shift could be easily operated by
child, and after it's appearance in
1881, 1t continued in general use un-
I'll 1t was displaced by the selective
gear transmission in 1906.
The problem of power transmission
10 the rear axle presented problems
that We're no less formidable than
those of the gear box In the first
American automobile, the motor was
suspended on buggy frame so that
the rear axle was driven by a chain
and sprocket.
Actual practice brought out several
serious objections to this arrange
inent, and when the plan of suspend
ing the motor directly on the rear
axle was tried out, beginning in 1895,
direct gear drive came into use.
The vibration of the motor on the
rear axle proved so Objectionable how
ever. that the engine was suspended
on the springs with the body. The
new arrangement necessitated the
chaln drlVe, used by practically all
the motor car builders whose com
bined output in 1900 was 600
When the motor was placed at the
front of the chassis in 1903 and 1904
the shaft drive came into use, and
has since become a permanent fix
ture on every modern motor car.
