but they call that racket as we would
say, concert. They all make asr
much noise as they can, and each
thinks he can drown out the others

hearing their own voices, but they

of all he didn't want to squeal, and hes

But Grandpa Pig only got all the

EIGHT Cylinder CAR
meets With SUCCESS
New Type Motor Combines
Flexibility, Durability
and Stability

Today two OF the largest automo-
bile manuiacturers-the Cadillac and
the King are taxing their capacity
in big production for eight cylinder
cars.
So successfully have these two
manufacturers been fifth their eight
cylinder motor cars that the number
Of automobile builders TO introduce
oight-cylinder motors during the past
year have been greatly increased.
Today nearly two score of auto
mobile manufacturers are numbered
among those having an eight-cylin-
der product, or just announcing one.
and there are reports of many others
joining into this class Of automobile
manufacturers.
Various reasons are given for the
success of the oight-cylinder motor
car. There is no disputing the fact
that it is an ideal and economical
motor to manufacture The hexibil-
ity OF the multiple cylinder motor is
something that has instantly appeal
ed to the motor car enthusiast as
soon as he drives or rides behind the
motor. The attempts made TO deride
the eight cylinder as being eXpen-
sivc Of operation were dispelled when
a number of these cars went into op-
Grafton,
With the American public demand
ing power, flexibility. dependability.
stability and durability, the eight
cylinder came in at the oppOrtune
time. While the eight-cylinder motor
has shown nothing phenominal in the
way of speed the race pilots of ma
tional reputation who have investi-
gated. claim that this is only a mat
ter Of gear ratio and a few detail
changes. The American public to-
day is demanding more power i'm an
automobile than speed. The manu-
facturer is bowling to this demand.
There is no denying the fact that
the. automobile manufacturers have
had less trouble in producing an
eight-cylinder product without what
automobile engineers determine
bugs than with any other type Of
motor. The fOur-cylinder motor has
passed through many stages of de-
velopment. today il has settled itself
down to the thousand dollar and be-
low price class, where it performs
with much credit. The siX-cylinder
motor advanced the public a further
step, giving them more power, fexi-
bility and motor touch but with tho
introduction of the eight-cylinder, the
industry was set agOg. Attempts
were made TO discredit the eight, but
there is no denying the fact that it
has come 10 stay. The manufacturers
today look upon the four-cylinder
motor as an ideal power plant for the
small car. there will always be a de-
mand for the six by certain people
The market for six is productive
but manufacturers of motors arc
looking more and more with favor
on the eight-cylinder motor.

Grant SIX BREAKS ALI
RECORDS ON DENVER HILL

Sales Manager, George S. Waite, Of
the Grant Motor Company, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Mulnix & Rarie,
of Denver, Colo, telling him Of an ex-
traordinary feat performed by the
Grant Six at Denver under the au-
spices of the Denver Post

knows. the "Hill Of Despair" just

cally all ears arc forced TO negotiate
it on low gear. Muinix & Rarie start
ed out to demonstrate that the Grant
Six was one of the most flexible and
powerful six-cylinder cars in the
world. And they proved this to the
satisfaction Of Denverites.
Just prior to going out to the Hill
of Despair" by way of practice, and
to show what the car could do in the
city. the car was first put through a
few stunts. Then lust to show that
this was not a real test of the Grant
Six quality. but easy work for it, the
car was driven out to the "Hill of
Despair" which even the highest
priced cars find il difficult to nego-
tiate in second gear, a grade so steep
that no brakes will hold car, and
after making the grade in second
gear with ease, r. c. Mulnix, who was
driving the car. conceived the idea OF
driving it on high gear. After two
attempts with the full load Of passen-
gers, Mr.. Mulnix unloaded the car
and. with himself at the wheel. sue
