pany is sharing in the prosperity in
a big sort of way
''The fact that we are the only
manufacturer exhibiting two eight
cylinder models on two distinctly diff
ferent chasses at two widely varying
prices has helped focus attention on
the Jackson line. This company has
always been regarded as ultra con-
.servative, thus its entry into the field
of eight cylinder manufacture in such
broad fashion, while at the same
time presenting a four that is max
ing a wonderful record for itself,
marks year of progress and pros
perity for the Jackson Company that
pleases every Jackson dealer and dis
tributor," says Treasurer and Sales
Manager Howard A. Matthews.
That Jackson dealers are taking
full advantage of the situation is evi-
denced by report from the distri-
butor at Harrisburg, Pa, who holds
the record retail sales for that city in
cars of the Jackson price class, maxi
ing five retail sales i'm one day-on
Tuesday, December 21st. And these
cars We're not only sold but actually
delivered on the one day.

Jefery Company Enjoys
Unparalleled Prosperity

American automobile manufacturers
are racing one of the most unusual
situations in the history of the busi-
whelming demand for motor cars and
trucks in the face of shortage in steel
and other materials.
Never before since the inception of
the AUTOMOBILE business has there been
such an unrelenting period of buying
not even letting'up during the winter
months as has been the case this year.
In recent interview on the subject
Charles T. Jefery, president of The
Thomas 3. Jeffery Company. Kenosha.
have been feeling a tremendous demand
for pleasure cars and trucks, not only
in this country but originating in those
foreign nations which are at peace.
I'VE were fortunate in having bought
large supplies OF materials before the
shortage came and before the raise in
featuring practically the entire Jeffery
car beneath our own roof even to aXles,
bodies, tenders and other parts usually
bought from special makers.
Yet even with these facilities we have
been compelled to strain every muscle
to the limit in the attempt to keep up
5000 men this winter during what is
usually slack season s compared to
1900 year ago. Our shipments from
nearly trippled during the months of
November and December. Yet even
with this great increase we have been
unable to supply Jeffery cars to all
those who wish to buy
1--WE now have under way plans for
two large new buildings-one to be
height and to be used for body build
ing purposes, and the other an enlarg-
ed foundry. Many of our departments
are working day and night.
''The demand in this country has
come from every section. Dealers in
every State report the greatest pros
perity which they have seen in years.
That there is going to be a shortage
next Spring. is certain. We have been
wholly unable to store a sufficient
number of cars to begin to take care
of the Sprnig demand In fact we have
been unable even to fill our present or

with full load, turning around at the
bottom and driving up again without
changing gears; running in high and
necessarily starting at the bottom of
the hill by reason of a sharp turn, at
seven miles an hour and finishing at
seventeen miles an hour at the top:
driving down the hill again with five
passengers and turning around and
driving up again, all the way at five
miles an hour on high gear.
Then just to show that this was
not real test of the Grant Six quail
ity, but easy work for it, the car was
driven out the "Hill of Despair"

gear, a grade so steep that no brakes

High Tribute Paid to
Maker of the Cadillac


Two men, both of them prominent
in the motor car industry. both of
them intimately familiar with nearly
every make of car on the road. were
riding from Detroit to an Ohio city
last Fall in a Cadillac roadster which
one of them had just purchased.
When they reached the top of a
hill lovely stretch of farm country
spread out before them. The dull
brown fields were pumpkined with
color; and away in the distance a
grove blended into the autumn haze.
They passed an old farmer in crawl
ing wagon. He was whistling. And
up on hillside some farmer women
with gaudy shawls were gathering
hickory nuts in baskets between in
termittent showers of nuts occasioned
by a lad who swayed in the uppermost
branches and yelled, cit our of the
way down there, all of you. Just look,
I'm goin' up higher yeti"
Autumn sunshine and tingling life
autumn color-firm, smoth roads
and a Cadillac.
The two manufacturers, both of
them poets in spirit, sat in perfect
content held by the spell of the scene
and the charm of the car which was
carrying them so quietly, so easily
and so swiftly
When at length one of them spoke,
1t was the younger. His remark is
destined to live as long at the Cadil-
lac itself. Turning to his friend, he
said enthusiastically, at Is worth
while to have lived and made a car
like the Cadillac"
That night the elder of the two men
sat in the warm library of his home.
The expression of his friend came to
his mind, accompanied by the image
OF Henry M. Leland's strong and kind
ly face
1T is worth while to have lived and
made car like the Cadillac" he
mused, and wrote down the inspired
remark. Emerson said that "every
great institution is the heightened sha-
dow of one man."
The great Cadillac institution is
measurable by the shadow of influence
cast by its president, Henry NJ. Leland,
a man whose business capacity and
inventive genius are surpassed only by
his probity, man whose life has been
worth while because he has proved
that great institution can be an hon
est institution; because he has given
the world a car which has made it a
better place to live in.

on low gear. Mulnix & Rario start
cd out to demonstrate that the Grant
Six was one cf the most flexible and
powerful slX-cylinder cars in the
world. And they proved this to the
satsfa ction of uenveritcs.
Just prior to going cut to the chill
of Despair" by way OF practice and
TO show what the car could do in
the city, the car was first put through
d few stunts such as accelerating
from q standing start. going through
three gears and making the twenty
five mile an hour mark in 10 3-5 sec
ends; accelerating tc the twenty-five
mile an hour mark from five miles an
hour in high gear in II seconds fiat;
driving down six per cent. grade

will hold a 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 passengers, Mr.. Null
nix unloaded the car and with him
self at the wheel, successfully negoti-
ated the grade on high gear, break
ing all records on this hill. This was
done in the presence of representa-
tives of the Denver Post and other
motor enthusiasts, creating a big stir
in motor circles.
Since the Grant Six made the test,
during the past four weeks many
other cars have attempted to equal
the record without success.
