Packard Breaks
The Track Record

The Packard aeroplane twelve ex.
ceeded the speedway record at In
dianapolis by one-half second. This
is the first time that lap OF the
two-mile track has been made by a
300-in motor at more than 100 miles
per hour. The unofficial time was
/ minute, 29.32 seconds. The best
previous time for motor under 500
cubic inches was that of Boillot in a
Peugeot, minute, 30.l3 seconds, in
1914.
This is the same car that J. G.
Vincent, vice president OF engineering
of the Packard company, had at New
York during April and May this year
with the exception that new intake
header had been added for better
performance at high speeds. The car
was driven by RAIDER, who carried a
mechanic and ten gallons of gasoline.
This is the first of series Of tests
which are to be made by the cngi-
neering department to demonstrate
the efficiency of the small bore
twelve. Mr.. Vincent states that the
twelye-cylinder engine was of great
advantage at indianapolis as the
steady torque made the car hold the
turns at the high speed.

Bolton Secures
Full Control of the
Omaha Chandler Go.


Announcement was made yesterday
to the effect that Cue Bolton has
purchased the interests of A. d.
Northrup in the Omaha Chandler
Co. The partnership of Bolton and
Northrup was formed several months
ago under the name of the Omaha
Chandler Co., for the purpose of dis
tributing Chandler automobiles in
western Iowa and northeastern Ne
braska.
According to Bolton their business
has assumed very promising proper
tons and in view Of the good stand
ing OF the Chandler in this community,
the 1917 season gives promise OF
being very profitable.
THE Card-Adams Motor company
OF Lincoln, Neb., state distributors
for the Chandler, has already gained
very enviabe reputation as Chand-
Ter distributors and this connection
is decided asset to the Omaha
Chandler company" says Bolton.

September Biggest Month
In History of the Empire

September, with shipments for the
first fifteen days near the record for
any previous full month in the eight
years history OF the Empire Auto
mobile company, will be the banner
sales period for this most successful
factory. Demand for deliveries, the
sales department records show, are
not limited to any one section of the
country, but bring a general distribu
ton from the east to the far west
In addition to the domestic shipments
over fifty more Empires will go
abroad before the end of the month.
Within the last two weeks several
attractive new sales connections have
been effected for representation in
new territory. These have had ma
terial influence in booming Empire
totals for the month.

Paige Makes New Record for
Months Volume of Business

August is not usually record
breaking month from the factory
standpoint, but nevertheless that
month closed by winning distinction
for the Paige Detroit Motor Car com
pany. August, 1916, for the Paige
not only was the best month Of the
year, but it surpassed in volume of
business the record of any other
month in the entire history OF the
company.
The amount of business transacted
in the thirty-one days totaled $2,020,-
200, which is pretty fair indication Of
several things--how the Paige Skies
stand with the public, the success the
factory has attained in solving pro-
duction and meeting demand and as
reflection on the general state Of
the industry.

COLE AGENT FILLS
RUSH ORDER ON TIME
Rides 637 Miles of Ruts and
Mud with Small Gas
Consumption.
TRAYNoR is MUCH ELATED

Out of the wesi comes another
story of the efficiency OF the mod
ern motor car and the enterprise
OF the alert automobile dealer. When
Lou J. Traynor OF the Traynor Au-
tomobile company OF Omaha one
Thursday noon recently received a
rush order for a Cole light car to
be delivered in Chadron, 657 miles
away, he did not stop to think OF
roads which faded away as the jour
ney continued. On lie other hand,
with full confidence in the Cole, he
started out to fill the order.
And he delivered the car on time.
Without the slightest damage to the
car he negotiated the o37 miles over
the almost indispensable roads and
eullies with gasoline consumption
averaging better than twelve and one
half miles to the gallon and with an
oil consumption averaging better than
800 miles to the gallon. There was
plenty of power, but no trouble, no
over-heating, no mechanical trouble,
speed beyond all requirements and
all of this in spite of the fact that
the car was brand new and never had
been driven before. Traynor left
Omaha Thursday evening and
reached Omaha Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, an average OF more than
BIS miles day. ...
Meets Stalled Motorists.
From Omaha to Sidney the Linz
coin Highway was followed and with
the exception of dry, choppy roads,
there was clear sailing. However,
plenty OF fresh graded sand roads
were found all along the Platte river
and Traynor encountered many mo-
florists who were stalled in the sand,
either because OF lack of power or
ovcrheated motors. The Cole light
nevertheless experienced no difficulty.
Leaving Sidney at 6 a. m. the coun-
try next to be traverscd looked very
unattractive to the average motor
list. Altogether there were l63 miles
OF unmarked COW trails between Sid
ney and Chadron, that portion be-
tween Bridgeport and Alliance being
especially bad owing to the fact that
about forty fence gates had to be
opened and closed. Those gates were
located in all sorts OF undesirable
places, some of them in deep sand
where starting was most difficult,
Others on rough, rocky surfaces and
still others on short steep hills.
Car Like New.
"Whcn | reached Chadron,' said
Traynor, "the car looked just like
new, ran better than before, had more
power and there wasn't a single
scratch on it in any place. During
the trip was told time. and again
by natives OF the country that the
car could not be driven through that
country on account OF high centers
in the undeveloped sand hills and
country roads, but not once did it
falter or lack clearance enough to
forge ahead. The taking OF car
through such a trying test and its
instantaneous acceptance by the
buyer speaks volumes for its quail
ity. For endurance and efficiency
the Cole Eight is absolutely unsur-
passed"

In a Cadillac From
Vancouver to Winnipeg

From Vancouver to Winnipeg was
the feat accomplished for the first
time by motor car, when H. W..
White OF the former city, recently
made the trip and won the gold
trophy offered by the Vancouver All
tomobile club.
The car in which Mr.. White
achieved this record was Cadillac.
He was accompanied by his wife and
daughter.
The total distance travelled was
1758N miles, of which 1,005H, be-,
tween Vancouver and Calgary, was
made in sixty-four and one-half hours
actual running time-nearly sixteen
miles an hour, an unusually good rec
ord in view of the road conditions.
