NEW ELGIN MODELS
VERY ATTRACTIVE

The very attractive exhibits of the
Elgin Six at the big Automobile
shows throughout the country, includ-
ing New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
and others, drew immense crowds.
The Elgin Co. this year had three
exhibits-a five-passenger touring
cara four-passenger roadster and
one chassis. The display clearly be-
spoke the powerful strides made by
the Elgin Co. during the past year.
Beginning with one car in 1916, they
are now building at the rate Of from
18 to 20 cars a day, and before the
close of 1917 they will be turning
cut 35 cars each "a hours. The COM
lany now has orders on it's books for
more than 5000 cars which must be
delivered before August 31st of this
year. -. i, .

salvation in the problem of its distri-
tuition. It has made itself popular
because of its many refinements, i'm

New Series II Elgin Six is the en-
bodiment of distinctive refinements
and genuine quality seldom obtaina-
ble in cars selling under $11OO. The
New 1917 Egin stands 3 inches higher
than it's predecessor of 1916. In ad-
dition to it's powerful 35 horsepower,
has an improved type velvet-acting
clutch, an exceptionally strong steel
frame, and powerful Torque arm
which absorbs all torsional strain.
This latter feature is claimed by the
Elgin people to be found seldom, if
even, in cars selling for less than
$1,000. The new series II Elgin also
is built with double cowl, giving the
car an individuality rarely found in
cars selling slogan at all shows as

fLC|N HAS BIG
ADVERTISING
SCHEME

In addition to using full page adver-
tisements nall the papers Of Chicago,
during the Automobile Show, the E.,
gin Motor Car Corporation, of that
city, made use of what is perhaps one
of the most novel means of advertising
ever employed. In their usual up-to-
the-minute advertising, the Elgin Co.
made arrangements with the War De-
partment to borrow one of the largest
nava! search-lights in the world. This
search-light was of The most modern
construction. 1t was designed and
built byengineers Of the General Elec-
trio Company. The Mangin mirror
alone of this huge search-light meas
ured 36 inches in diameter and cost
$4,000 The carbons used measured
1 1-8 inches in diameter and develop
ed $4,000 candle-power. The electri
cal consumption of this arc figured 80
amperes at 115 volts. On clear
night horizontal flash Of this power
full light has been distinguishedable
at distance of 80 miles.
The Elgin Company placed this
great searchlight on the roof of the
Chicago Coliseum, where the motor
show was held. Across the street from
the Coliseum was a large beautifully
colored sign picturing an Elgin Six
five-passenger touring car with an in
scription below it reading: "a Mil
lionaire's Value at Popular Price"
The operator would first flash this
pillar Of light into the heavens, shin
ing from cloud to cloud. He would
then slowly lower the light across the
city until it's rays were focused upon
the big Elgin sign across the street
from the Coliseum. People from all
corners of Chicago and it's suburbs
were attracted by this powerful beam
of light as the operator changed color
ed rays across the sky and wrote the
name "Elgin Six" or the face of the
lenses and flashed the brilliant color.
clouds.
At the conclusion of the Motor Show
the Elgin Company was obliged to
return the navy light to the War De-
partment. E,gin officials claim that
this novel means of advertising, back
ed by full page newspaper copy each
day of the show, brought them greater
results than they had anticipated.

HUMANE ASSOCIATION TO
FIGHT PRENDERGAST BILL

Members of the State Humane AS
sociation and unaffiliated animal low
ers from all parts of California are
gathering in Sacramento this week to
oppose the Prendergast bill, which, if
passed, would compel all public pounds
t. surrender unclaimed animals to
medical colleges for vivisection.
The Committee on Medical and Den
tai Laws of the Assembly will hold
public hearings on the bill and among
those who will speak in opposition to
it are Supervisor Edward l. Wolfe
of San Francisco, Matthew McCurrie,
secretary of the State Humane Asso-
citation; Hugh J. Baldwin, former su-
perintendent of San Diego schools, and
other prominent humanitarians.
James H. Wilkins, San Francisco
newspaper man, has prepared a state
ment outlining the position of the hu-
name societies, saying:
"In order to correct scandalous mis-
societies for the rreven-
ton of cruelty to animals have shoul-
Gered the administration Of public
pounds in most cities. 1t is work
to which many earnest and kindly peo-

MAXWELL HAS
INNOVATION
FOR 1917

Three bright, new Maxwell touring
cars, led out into the streets of Allan
ia, Georgia, early in January, and put
before the public in test that is with
out parallel in all the history of auto
mobile making, touched off the New
Year in a manner almost shocking for
automobiledom in Atlanta and through
cut the entire southeastern portion
of the land of cotton.
It was made known on Friday, JAN
uary 5, that three strictly new Max.
we'll touring cars would, the day fol-
lowing, go out into the streets of that
metropolis of the South for the pur-
pose of showing everyone and any
one concerned what mileage not one,
but three Maxwell cars could obtain
on a gallon of gasoline.
This announcement followed an in
vitation from James Headley, of the
Maxwell Motor Sales Corporation, with
headquarters in Atlanta, to the three
automobile editors of that city to walk
into the big Maxwell branch in AT.
lanta or the Maxwell retail branch on
Peach Tree street and choose for the
run any three cars they might see fit
to designate for the work.
This the automobile editors did.
They selected the cars from the stock
carried on the display floor at the
Peachtree establishment each car a
bright and new display model, with
tags all over it.
Despite the fact that they were
stiff with newness, their tires never
having run over anything other than
the long assembly tracks in the huge
Maxwell factories, the three cars, run.
ming separately, smashed all previous
gasoline economy records recognized
in Atlanta. Not one, but all three of
the newspaper automobile editors are
authority for the statement that the
record has never been equaled in the
state of Georgia.
Note the similarity of the mileages.
Those figures speak volumes for the
Maxwell practices, which is buildeI
upon the ideal of standardized and
economical automobile. Three brand
new cars, and the record shows them
to be almost uniform in performance.
No one knew what mileage they
would obtain-that is, no one outside
the family of Maxwell men, who knew
through experience hat one Maxwell
is full-blooded brother to all the hun
dreds of thousands of others, and who,

has received a small order for shells
from the Government to enable it to
put in sufficient equipment to train
employees for such work in the event
of war. This, coming in close con-
nection with the numerous offers
made by the motor car makers to aid
the United States in case of emer-
gency, is clear evidence of the value
which the industry will have to the
country if it is drawn into war.

effect, that all the pounds in the state
shall turn over their unclaimed ami
mails to the various medical colleges
of the state for the purpose of vivi-
section. Failure to do so involves fine
or imprisonment Or both.

course, terminate the present activi-
les of all humane societies which op-
crate pounds. It could hardly be ex-
