PACKARD TWIN SIX
is Is MONTHS OLD

About eighteen months ago the
Packard Company created a sensation
by placing before the public the Twin
Six, on which it had been working
quietly for several years. The new
2-25 and 2-35 Twin Six cars are the
result of an added years experience,
study and research. The most notice
able improvement in the case Of the
Packard motor is the removable head
attached to each block of cylinders.
This makes for greater accuracy in
manufacture and for greater conveu-
fence in keeping the motor well
grcomed.
One of the most important problems
the motor engineers met was that OF
building the ear 90 perform success
fully on the low grade gasoline which
has been on the market for some time.
Greater efficiency in use Of such fuel
has been accomplished by the improved
arrangement of the gas intake passages
and by locating the thermostat at the
outlet of the water circulating system.
where it controls more definitely the
temperature of the engine.
The new cars are lower than the
previous Packard model Tho body
lines are more flowing. Cushions
are lower and easier. The new pleated
upholstery is smoother, handsomer and
easier 10 keep clean. The choice Of
bodies is wide. There are twcnty-one
styles OF open and inclosed carriages,
all built I'm The Packard factory
There il ono new body which has
created a great deal Of interest the
2-2j four passenger runabout. II has
individual front seats with a passage
way between. The rear compartment
seats two passengers comfortably and
is constructed SO that there is plenty
Of leg room.
The complete line Of open and in
closed cars ranges in capacity from two
10 seven passengers.
The 2-2j and 2-35 are identicsl OK
cept in size. the former having wheel
base of 126 inches and the latter l3J
inches. There is no difference In quail
ity and the unit power plant. compris-
ing motor, clutch and transmission, is
interchangeable.
The Packard car is built throughout
In the Packard shops. No other auto
mobile, it Is stated by this company, is
80 thoroughly factory product Of the
company whose name it bears.

HIGH COST OF
STOPS AND STARTS

The average motoTist, who Is con-
stautly complaining about the high cost
Of operating his car, probably does not
stop 10 consider that he may be largely
responsible for such a condition. He
would DO well to study the problem
and see if there are not ways and
means Of affecting a saving Of gaso-
lenc, oil, tires and lessening the gem
croi wear and tear on the car. After
sixteen years of experience in the
automobile business, B. W. Twyman,
general manager Of the Interstate
Motor Company. has picked out some
OF the more important causes Of the
high cost Of motoring which can be
overcome by each individual
THE motorist who has his car at
his door practically all of the time, and
who jumps in and uses it to run one
hundred yards down the street, or on
quarter or half mile trips TO execute
little household errands or deliver
messages, must realize that such driv-
ing can produce nothing but waste and
high average cost of depreciation" he
says. with gasolene soaring as it
has lately, it bChooves every driver to
cut out short trips. IL is said that the
biggest expense i'm running train is
INC starting anu stopping. ne same Is
true Of an automobile, and the larger
the car the more expensive it is TO
start and stop it.
1T is on the long journeys that the
motor car scores. 10 scores over the
bicycle and all other forms Of locomo-
ton 100 speed and in avoidance of IA
tigue over long distances. Again. econ
omy can be effected by an amendment
Of driving methods. Tire economy is
secured by moderate driving, by care
ful starting and stopping and by close
scrutiny Of the road Drivers, who are
I'm the habit Of speeding up between
trcct intersections and slowing down
Nruptly at The street crossings are
abusing their tires.
"A maximum Of twenty-five miles an
hour when such a speed is permissible
is judicious driving. Perfect control
of every adverse circumstance without
injury TO the passengers, tires, on
mechanism can be maintained IL this
speed is never exceeded. 1t has very
wisely been said that any old car can
so fast. but it takes a good one to run
slowly"

using a lightweight, or a car Of the
Brscoe type, as sort Of an auxiliary
TO the big car.
/ can give you the names Of many
men who, after they purchased the
big car and because it was IN use 50
much by the family, purchased light
car, with the result that after having
driven it for a time you could not get
them 70 use anything cise, for they
much prefer TO drive the smaller car
themselves than TO be driven in the
big one.
When such men decide to purchase a
light car they do so with the intention
of having it handy should the big car
be in use by other members of the
family or for use to and from the
office.
Il isn't long before you will find that
the light car is getting the greater
usage. The family find that any one Of
them can drive it without difficulty.
The women folk like it because il is
handled so easily in crowded traffic and
takes no effort at all TO shift gear or
to operate the brakes or clutch, while
Dad likes the saving effected by the
greater mileage out of tires, oil and
gasolene.
Just look around for yourself little
and you will find that this thing / am
telling you may be actually verified,
ey~~ among your own friends and
acquaintance.
I'm other words, while the light car
was purchased to be used only now
and then, when occasion demanded the
use of two cars, that, after the family
had become acquainted with its merits,
it was getting the most usage. because
a car like the Briscoe is a surprise TO
both the man who can afford the very
highest priced car and the man who
must coniine himself TO the more mod
crate priced equipage. They find in IL
riding comfort, a Probability and an
case Of operation that they had not
expected.

Taking Care of Extra Riders

Il has been thought that an auxiliary
seat was necessarily more or less I'M
comfortable, and people have avoided
riding in them just as much as possible.
The new Premier is said TO have aux
Mary seats that provide almost rs much
comfort as the tonneau seats. OF
course, the upholstering on any auxili-
ary seats cannot be made as deep as
that on the other seats in the car. but
the Introduction Of springs and the
proper construction Of the seat itself
tend 90 overcome the drawbacks of the
spare seats and to make them more
desirable

CHALMERS EXHIBIT is
ONE OF MANY COL0RS

Six Of the seven current body styles
in Chalmers touring and closed cars
for the 1917 season are on display at
the Grand Central Palace this week.
The exhibit ranges from a snappy two
passenger roadster with white wire
wheels to passenger limousine FIN
ished in snow white. with black top,
tenders and trimmings.
Finished in a handsome maroon, the
five-passenger touring car at the show
il the model which was first brought
out in November. 1915. A wo-passen-
ger roadster, finished in Chalmers blue
with white wire wheels, forms another
attractive feature Of the exhibit The
seven-passenger limousine, finished in
pure white with black top and trim
mings. has slanting windshield and
white wire wheels TO set OFT the ex-
terror. The interior is furnished with
silver gray upholstery.
Another closed car model Ia the
Chalmers town car. The drivers com
partment is open, allowing unobstruct-
ed view in all directions. In warm
weather the door windows con be low
cred into panels or adjusted 10 any po-
sition by an automatic regulator. The
interior finish on doors and division Is
of inlaid mahogany.
In designing the passenger touring
sedan Chalmers tried to steer between
the freakish and the stereotyped. The
sedan is enclosed almost entirely in
glass. The front door and the rear
windows can be dropped into the body,
transforming the car from winter
limousine to a cool vehicle for summer
driving.
The seven-passenger touring car on
the l22-inch chassis has proved a popu-
lar car for the family man in need Of
extra carrying space. Special efforts
have been made 20 avoid crowding in
the front compartment.

p..i4o,t Hmm Motor Car Corporation
During 1916 the Hupp Motor Gar
Corrora9ion has achieved almost the
i,onossible by doubling the capacity OF
lie nlant. increasing its production Dy
over 90 per cent and still maintaining
tho quality of the Hupmobile, IN the
face of inadequate and difficult ma
terial and labor markets. Only those
familiar with the material ana TABOR
situation can appreciate what a gigah-
tic task this has been.
II speaks well for the efficiency OF
the HUMP organization that the dlrh-
culties OF the last year have been met
without lowering the Hupmoblle stand
ard. We have more than doubled the
capacitv Of our plant, which now covers
over 2SOOOO square feet. Up-to-date
labor and time saving devices have
been installed. and the factory IS now
eouipped to turn out cars at rate
proportionate TO the demand for a car
Of Hupmobile class.
As president of the company, | take
pride in the fact that quality and
reputation have been maintained
against great odds. We not only have
continued 10 Use only the best ana
highest grade materials in producing
our cars, but We have made many i'm

gineers. In the Hupmobile perfected
four, which we are now offering, there
are twenty-five improvements which
make for simplicity Of the motor and
refinement Of the car.
The Eupmobile has always been a
car Of quality and performance. In
our new factories we are prepared to
build the ideal car. We have held fast

gained has all been put back into car

sons note rejecting the pope's peace

president makes it clear that last
