BRISCOE NOW BUILDS
ALL PARTS OF AUTOS
Ten Factories Turn Raw Material
Into Finished Product.

ofAciaI announcement is made by Ben
jamin Briscoe, president Of the Briscoe
Motor Corporation. through the latter's
local representatives. Miller Bros, that
the big Michigan company has taken over
the operation Of practically all plants
making parts entering into the Briscoe
car. Cars are now being completed in the
ten titanic Jackson factories. The plan
has been IN operation for several months,
but the news had not been given out for
publication until today.
The announcement contains the .infor-
nation, that motors, frames. transmits
sions, forgings, axles, tenders, tops,
steering gears, and practically all other
parts of the car, with the exception Of
a few accessories and specialties, are now
being created from the raw material to
the finished product on the car by the
Briscoe people instead OF depending upon
parts makers.
The overwhelming demand for Briscoe
cars over all the country, called for this
action in order to speed up deliveries.
The announcement was made coincident
with the election of s. H. Humphrey to
the ONCE Of vice president in charge Of
manufacturing. Mr.. Humphrey was for
merly vice president of the Chalmers Mo-
tor Company, Detroit, Mich, and Is well
known in automobile circles as one OF the
greatest quantity producers in the in
dustry. being one OF the originators Of
the progressive" methods of manufac-
turing.
The ten Briscoe factories cover over
thirty-four acres of ground. Automobile
authorities sayNthat this system Of oper-
alton will ultimately insure the Briscoe
Motor Corporation being the third or
fourth largest automobile producer in the
United States.
Mr.. Miller said today: This announce
ment will be received by motorists Of this
city and surrounding territory with much
enthusiasm and satisfactio for the rea-
son that people are simply hungry for
this wonderful Briscoe car. which con-
tains Benjamin BriscOe's half million
dollar motor, created in Europe by Mr..
Briscoe and a number Of German, French
and Swiss engineers.
No car that has been placed on the
market in the past few years has made
the tremendous impression that this
Briscoe has. At S625 it is the superlative
value Of the year. However, apparently
the Briscoe Motor Corporation. in its en-
deavOr to satisfy demand. finds that 1t
could not do so without building the car
from the raw material to the finished
product. 1t took a herculean effort to
Put this policy into operation, but it
means that Briscoe purchasers will be
taken care Of with more speed, and will
come nearer satisfying the demand for
cars
1t is the belief Of Benjamin Briscoe
that no company will permanently sue
Ceed in the market unless it aims to build
al its parts In factories which 1t owns.
The BriscOe Motor Corporation now has
complete control OF everything that goes
into the car. commencing with the raw
material. 1t means increased quality in
the car. better workmanship and thor

CHEVROLET 1917 PRICE
CREATES SENSATION
Four-Ninety," with Electric Light,
and Starter, at $490

There has been no end of favorabIa
comment in automobile circles over the
unexpected and rather sensational an
nouncement Of the Chevrolet Motor Corn
pany that from August IS its famous
''Four-Ninety'' model would be reprIarIv
equipped with electric lights and starter
at the $3.50 price.
II was at the Automobile Show NJ ra15
IN New York that this car was first in
troduced to the motoring public. II Was
then priced, with electric Hgbts en5
starter, at $50. The Chevrolet Noto-
Company stated. however, that the nsnos
"Four-Ntnety'' was really intended tn aY-
press the price of this car. and that as
soon as the company's manuSacturInv ?
facilities and production justified II fbs
price would be s490.
In the meantime. the CheyroIet Mo.or
Company has completed what IT claims
Is the best motor plant in this country
has built and equipped an up-to-the-rnin-
ute axle plant, has acquired a cornplsta
transmission plant, and has in opera tion
seven large assembling plants. In addj-
ton volume OF production has been
reached, which. with the greatly increase
manufacturing facilities, enables the
Chevrolet Motor Company to make good
It's original promise
At the new price the Chevrolet ''zopr-
Ninety" is, by substantial margin. the
lowest-priced electric-lighted and started
car in the world. II has a number Of
other features generally associated with
much higher priced cars, such as its pov@.
erful valve-in-head motor, selective slid
ing gear transmission with three speeds
forward and distinctive appearing body.

HAYNES new ROADSTER
FOR four NOW READY
Designed for Town Driving and
Country Touring.

The Haynes Automobile Company is
making deliveries of a new four-passen-
ger roadster, which is offered on either
the Haynes Light Six" or Light
Twelve" chassis. The new small party
car is the successor to the Haynes three
passenger "'So-Sha- Belle" roadster, an6
in body lines and general appearance it
resembles the former Haynes model to
a great extent
The front seats OF the new car are d.
vided. and the aisle between them affords
quick and easy passage to the tonneau
The rear seat is amply wide for two
passengers, and when circumstances re-
qure, it will accommodate three per
sons. The rear passengers are given an
extra amount of leg room by sloping the
backs of the front seats downward and
forward. The seats and the sides Of the
tOnneau are upholstered in hand-buffed
leather, which in turn is covered by wa
ter-pToof seat covers cut from a soft
gray cloth. The car is low hung and
evenly balanced. and the running boards
have a ground clearance of ten inches.
The new car has a wheelbase of l21
inches on both the Light Six" and
Light Twelve" chasses, and a turning
radius slightly under twenty-one feet.
The twelve-cylinder roadster has cord
tires, shock absorbers, and wire wheels
as regular equipment.
The comfort Of the driver has been
given especial attention, and by group
ing the cowl instruments on an instru-
ment board, the controls are brought
within easy reach.
On account of their wide range OF
speed the Haynes Light Six" and Light
Twelve" motors are particularly adapted
for roadster service. For town driving
their ease OF control appeals to the large
number of women drivers, while their
pulling power and easy riding qualities
mark them as favorites in overcoming
the varied road conditions in cross-coun-
try touring.

PACKARD TWIN SIX
ADAPTED TO POOR GAS
Improvements in Motor Construction
Offset Effect of InSerior Fuel.

The motoring public will ha~ oppor-
tunity within the next few days to see
and to witness in operation the first cars
Of the new series Of Packard Twin Six
automobiles Demonstrating cars are
being shipped in increasing numbers from
the factory in Detroit, countrywide to
the dealers.
Some OF the dealers already have their
first cars on exhibition. Fifty more cars
are in transit BY September 10. pro-
vided factory expectations are realized,
all the dealers will have the new model
before the public. Meanwhile, the plant
Is being visited daily by delegations of
statesmen, seeking to become familiar with
the mechanical detail Of the latest Pack
ard.
Certain improvements in motor con-
struction have been effected in the new
car, largely. for the purpose Of adapt,
ing the engine to the use of the present
low-grade gasoline. The engineers be-
heve that the new Twin Six engine is
pre-eminently capable in the handling OF
the poor gasoline with which motorists
practically all over the country now are
familiar. High test gas is not easily
ootainable In the most favored localities
nowadays. The fuel commonly available
Is casing head gas. In the Twin Six en-
gine, the arrangement for heating the
fuel, the position Of the intake manifold
and other features Of motor design are
perfected with the present situation in
gasoline particularly in mind
Economy Of gasoline consumption. ran

new JEFFERY SIX
MAKES RECORD RUN
Car Covers 493 Miles From Dawn
to Dusk.

From Milwaukee to Houghton. Mich.
IN single day, a feat that has been
tried unsuccessfully many times by many
makes of cars, has just been achieved by
the new Jeffery Six. The Jeffery, a
brand-new stock car In every respect, de-
livered In the ordinary routine of busi-
ness the day before the start covered the
tS5 miles between the two points in ex-
actly II hours and Al minutes running
time, averaging S36 miles per hour.
The record-settlng Jeffery was driven by
\. E. osmond. Milwaukee distributor of
the Jeffery line. With him were three
passengers. including George II. MoelIer,
0f the Milwaukee Sentinel, who acted as
official observer and timer.
The combined weight OF the cars four
occupants was 732 pounds. while 1856
pounds OF luggage were carried. From
Menominee, Mich, on the car carried Ave
passengers, E. c. Hansen the Jefrery
dealer at Houghton, joining the party
there.
The car had regular stock equipment
throughout. At least a third of the jour
ney was over exceedingly bad roads. In
fact. for about thirty-five miles between
Escanaba and Marquette Mich. and for
about thirty miles between the latter
town and the finish. the roads were moth
ing but NARROW, winding wagon trails
through "OOueQ WliueTneSS.
Gasoline consumption averaged u 1-2
miles to the gallon while only half a
gallon OF oil was required for the whole
trip. This Is a most economical show
ing, considering the fact that the car
was pushed over the road with utter dis
regard for fuel economy. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the gasoline con-
sumption of the same car averages a
gallon to every fifteen or sixteen miles.
The entire trip was made on high
gear. As for the motor. 1t was left abso-
lutely to itself from start to finish. 1t
required no attention; not the slightest
adjustment Of any kind was made. If
anything, the motor was in better shape
at the finish than at the start.
Another unusual feature of the run was
the comfort with which the cars occu-
pants made the trip. This was due both
to the quality of the upholsterfng job
in the new six and to the diversified. in
herently balanced crankshaft inhibiting
vibration at all speeds.

DEMAND FOR AUTOS
WILL EXCEED SUPPLY
Makers Scout Idea of a Glutted
Market.

Frequently the fear is expressed that
the market is becoming glutted with au-
tomobiles, that the time is not far dis
tant when the supply will be far ahead
of the demand and that the motor car
industry. upon which many thousands of
persons are dependant for support, will
stagnate and wither from its present
proud eminence.
That such predictions are groundless
and are not based on the actual condi-
tions in this country, is the statement of
Walter E Flanders, president and gen.
eral manager OF the Maxwell Motor Com
pany, Inc, who backs up his belief with
a series of statistics that are of interest
to the industry.
These show that the doubling Thom-
ases who are making predictions of the
future of the automobile are speaking
without a knowledge of the situation, or
If they have that knowledge, they are
ignoring facts.
There is a good reason for the in
creased production in the Maxwell fac
tories,' said Mr.. Flanders. That reason
lies in the fact that there are at least
100000 owners of homes and 1000 600
farmers in the country who are not
owners of motor cars and who are nat
ural prospects.
This takes no account of hundreds of
thousands Of nome renters who are well
able to buy the kind of a motor car they
desire. There you have q minimum Of
100000 who will buy cars within the next
four years. This means that /, $50 900 will
buy each year.
We have in the United States Il.oO0
cities and towns of 500 or more popula-
ton and in these cities and towns are
900 home owners, Of whom annually
1000 900 have bought cars.
There are 6,50O,000 farmers in this
country. Their average income last year
was s1,552. OF this number, 1000 900 now
own cars, while 100000 are poor or illit-
crate. This leaves 100000 farmers un-
sold.
Approximately 100000 cars are owned
and in use in the United States. The life
OF the average car is flve years. i man
who has once owned a car will never ee
without one. That statement will stand
with but Isolated exceptions. Assuming
that the life of a car is five years, then
the annual recorder market is 20 per cent
or 100000 cars yearly.
with the yearly market 1750OO0 hud
the present recorder market 100000, ire
