AUTO TRADE GROWTH
DUE TO ADVERTISING
Newspaper Publicity Cause Of Rapid
Development of Industry.

1t is only as far back as 1894 that El-
wood Haines drove the first "horseless
carriage" down the streets OF Kokomo,
Ind, and 1t was not until 1900 that the
automobile business was fairly launched.
What other industry can boast of such
a phenomenal growth in sixteen short
years?
No one thing has been such a factor
in popularizing the automobile as news
paper advertising. 1t has been the one
great force that has made of the automo-
bile business what it is today. 1t has
spread the story of the automobile to
the most remote corner. From an un-
known factor of few years back, ad-
vertising has proved to the farmer that
he can't afford to be without one. 1t has
shown the tired business man that his
car is a pleasant bridge between home
and office, and the doctors buggy" is
now almost a curiosity.
Where Europe numbers the output of
its automobile factories by hundreds, We
count them by tens of thousands. News
paper advertising has made this possible,
and the entire country has benefited.
Good roads and fine inns have followed
the auto. The great Lincoln Highway.
now under construction. is perhaps the
greatest testimonial of what the motor
car has done for this country. 1t is only
a matter of time when we will have a
splendid highway linking Maine and Cali
fornia, with thousands OF cars making
the trip each month.

CROE-ELKHART CO.
Will enlarge OUTPUT
Firm Aims to Produce 10000 Cars a
Year-Growth Remarkable.

One of the most important announce
ments Of recent months, in the automo-
bile trade, is that of the gigantic eXpan-
sion arrangements being made by Crow
Elkart Motor Company of Elkhart, In
diana.
\ production OF 10000 cars a year is
the first objective point of this now sue
cessfUl concern and the management feels
that such production will be more than
eaten up by waiting consumers of the
pOpular-priced and satisfactory Crow
Elkhart automobiles.
But $1,000 cars a year will not commence
to supply the demand for Crow-Elkhart
cars, based on all present indications as
viewed by the officials of the company,
and provisions are being made and plans
laid for doubling the production of $4,000
cars a year, If sales warrant 1t, as an
ticipated. -
Probably no automobile company in the
United States has been more conservative
ly and more successfully managed than
Crow-Elkhart Motor Company. Estab-
lished with a small beginning in July,
1903, as the Crow Motor Car Company,
by DR.. E. C. Crow and his son, Martin
E. Crow, this concern has gradually
worked its way up to one of the capac-
ity producing automobile companies OF
the country. and now it must increase
its capacity, the officials say, to keep
pace with the constantly increasing de-
mand for its product. Thus the first OBJ
jective production point OF $1,000 cars
a year and then to double or more.
Such are the plans Of the company
under its new name of Crow-Elkhart Mo-
tor Company. The new name came with
the big expansion plans. It was sug-
gested by the name Of the company's s
product-Crow-Elkhart automobiles, one
OF which sells at S975-a f1ve-passenger
car. The other one is three-seated car
(clover-leaf design selling at $S45 and
conceded to be one Of the most beautiful

new PREMIER MODEL
wins BROADWAY FAME
Artistic Lines and Modern Attachments
Make Machine Extremely
Popular.

What New York says of play. Amer
lea accepts. The same is true of a motor
car.
The reception accorded the new Premier
In New York is growing in intensity, and
promises to develop into the greatest ever
accorded motor car on Broadway. while
Premier's aluminium motor and Cutler
Hammer gear shift continue to evoke the
great volume of comment the work done
on the car by Charles S Crawford,
Premier's assistant chief engineer, is COM
ing in for a tremendous amount Of praise.
Earl G. Gum, Premiers chief engineer.
and Engineer Crawford have collaborated
for years on motor car production, in
which they were mutually interested.
Gum is recognized as one of the greatest
motor builders that the industry has ever
produced. Crawford, one the other hand.
is recognized as the greatest chassis and
body rcfinst that motordom has ever
seen. Born OF a family of artists he car
ries his art into his engineering, and the
new Premier shows it.
Crawford was the first engineer in
America 10 put four doors on the roadster
type of body. His cars have been invsri-
ably beautiful. and the new Premier is
hts masterpiece. Its body lines are dis
tinctly CrawfordesQue. Minimum wind
resistance has been the basic thought
which is not new; but by faithfully copy
ing the lines OF a prOJectile, Crawford has
evolved a new note in motor car style,
and Premier's bullet body lines" promise
greatly to influence future motor car de-
signs
The new Premier undoubtedly estab-
fishes refreshing vogue. Its gun metal
velour body finish is a touch that only an
artist could have conceived, but the
crowning feature Of the Aluminium Six
so far as Crawfords influence goes is the
remarkably short turning radius of the
car and the way in which he has made
room for seven persons on a reasonable
and wieldly wheel base. In these two
directions he has broken all records. The
new Premier turns in a thirty nine foot
street without touching either curb, and
every passenger in the car has plenty of
leg room and travels first class, even on
long, all-day tours.
The Premier is represented in Wash
ington by the Ungerer Motor Company
which this week will have on display the
various models.

WINTER AUTOMOBILNG
POPULAR in CAPITAL
Moderate Climate and Modern Attach
ments Make Motoring Delight.

That winter driving has not been more
popular in years gone by has been due to
two reasons; first, the automobile dealer
himself, and second, the failure on the
part of the motor car manufacturer to
provide suitable bodies for bad weather
driving.
1t is but natural for the prospective
purchaser of car to buy when touring
conditions are at their best. He gets the
fever from hearing his friends talk about
the fine time they have had while away
on tours and perhaps he himself has been
on some of them. The salesman, finding
his prospective customer imbued with this
spirit, encourages the idea, using his own
ina gination and experience to point out
some Of the delights of motoring through
the country. in addition to featuring the
benefits that are to be derived from be-
ing out in the open.
With the coming OF cold weather, the
prospective buyer permits his enthusiasm
over the ownership OF an automobile to
wane. When called upon by the car rep
resentative he brings up the point that
the touring season is about over, that
winter is coming on and that until next
spring he will not have much use for a
machine.
Instead of pointing out that in this
section of the country, especially, there
Is but very little time during the entire
year when 1t Is not possible to use car,
the salesman falls in with the idea and
agrees that after all there is perhaps
not so much fun to be derived from driv-
Ing in the fall and winter months.
AS a matter of fact, Washington win
ters are mild, and there is only an ocCa-
sional day now and then when a car
cannot be used to- advantage. With all
the appliances on the market even an
open touring car can be fitted up so that
on the coolest days it Is very comfortable.
Then the manufacturer has provided
closed type cars, either with a permanent
standing top, or one that can be fitted
to the body with little trouble.
The detachable top and sedan type
bodies are the latest in the way Of Of
ferings for the owners comfort. and arc
proving very acceptable. There are a
number OF firms that make a spec iaity
of building them for every type car that
Is at ali popular on the American mar
ket today. Many of the car manufac-
turers are advertising and showing them
on their cars. Those who do are fur
nishing them themselves Or recommend
ing certain types.
The man who uses his car for both
business and pleasure will find more need
of it during the winter months than in
summer. The days are shorter, and wet
weather is more frequent, with the con-
sequent difficulty OF getting around. BY
the use of an automobile he can come
and go just the same as on the pret-
tiest day of summer. With the universal
use of the self-starter. for today there
are but very few automobiles in use that
are not so equipped, there is no need OF
getting out in the snow and mud to spin
the cold motor.

SIMPLER AUTOLAWS
URGED BY H. NJ. rowe
Head of A. A. A. Would Revise Tangle
of Motor Regulations.

I'VE now have too much automobile
law. The next trend must be toward
the elimination of all unnecessary re-
quirements and the enactment of a few
simple rules and regulations that may
be easily understood. easily enforced. and.
as nearly as possible, universally OBJ
served. Such an elimination would in
many instances do away with about three
fourths OF our present laws"
President H. NJ. Rowe, of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, thus sets
forth the present problem OF the motor
car owner. Continuing, the head of the
national organization says:
But traffic rules and regulations are
yet in their formative period. Much re-
mains to be done before avoldabIe ac-
cidents may be reduced to a minimum.
The principal difficulty is the unwilling
ness of the public to accept and obey
such rules and regulations. While there
has been some change in its attitude
within the last year or so, there still
remains an immense amount Of education
al work before We can hope to secure
that cooperation from the public which
is necessary to the efficient working out
of any set of rules for the road and the
government of its traffic.
1T is needless to say that the motor
lists themselves deplOre most keenIy the
steadily Increasing number of accidents
and fatalities occasioned by the use Of
the motor car, but the people have not
yet come to fully realize that these
accidents are the result of negligence
on the part OF the public to observe the
simplest rules of personal safety rather
than neglect on the part of the motor
ist. The utter disregard Of his personal
safety shown by the average Individual
when occupying the public highways is
appalling.
1T is a matter of undisputed record
that between ninety and ninety-five per
cent Of all the accidents that occur re-
suit from the neglect of the Individual
pedestrian and less than five per cent
are caused by the direct fault Of the
motorist or the reckless use of the motor
car. Lying between these figures some
where are from three to five per cent
Of the accidents where both parties are
responsible"

SIX-CYLINDER OUTPUT
REACHES $4,000 CARS

-Four years ago only 24.O66 six-cylinder
automobiles were built annually, but this
years statistics indicate that the present
annual production will amount to more
than $4,000 cars. This means that the
demand for six-cylinder automobiles has
multiplied fourteen-fold since 1912.
At the time when only a small number
OF six-cylinder cars was being manufac-
tured, 1t was generally recognized that
the six-cylinder motor was a more fexi-
BILE source Of power than the four, but
the blending of power with economy in
the light six automobile has been the
chief influence that has radically altered
the purchasers mind in regard to the
number of cylinders that he should buy.
Along with the increase in motor car
production, the demand for four-cylinder
cars has quadrupled. Due to the fact
that the low-priced four-cylinder cars are
within financial reach Of a large body of
purchasers, the four has had a large sale

LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE.

l learn as the years roll onward
And leave the past behind
That much | have counted sorrow
But proves our God Is kind:
That many a flower 1 longed for
Had a hidden thorn Of pain,
And many a rugged bypath
Let to fields of ripened grain
The clouds but cover the sunshine,
They cannot Danish the sun,
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain Is done,
We must stand in the deepest sorrow
To see the clearest light,
And often from wrongs own darkness
Comes the very strength Of right
We must live through the weary win
ter
II we could value the spring.
And the woods must be cold and silent
Before the robins sing.
The flowers must be buried In dark
ness
Before they could bud and bloom.
And the sweetest and warmest sun
Comes after the storm and gloom.
So the heart from the hardest trial
Gains the purest Joy OF all.
And from lips that have tasted sadness
The sweetest songs will fall.
For as peace comes after suffering,
And love is reward OF pain,
So after earth comes heaven
And out of our loss the gain.
