New Body For National
Six-Cylinder Model

National dealers all over the coun-
try were given pleasant surprise re-
Gently. when the National Factories
at Indianapolis announced they were
pi.tting on the beautiful new luxurious
body. without extra cost, on the new
Highway Six-Cylinder model.
The National factories explain this
rather unorthodox departure from the
routine way of automobile factories,
by saying that the calendar does not
limit them to changes or improve
ments.
This new body is offered in either
blue or gray, and is of similar de-
sign and arrangement that is used on
the successful National Highway
twelve cylinder model.
This admittingly is much more
costly body than has heretofore been
put on a siX-cylinder Chassis, but the
National factories claim they are able
TO do this without extra charge, due
to the tremendous increase of cars at
the National factories.
There are two compact parcel COM
partments; tilted windshield. which
decreases wind resistance and abol-
ishes annoying reflections; and ignit-
ion lock: doors that swing open with
storm curtains adjusted; new type tire
hanger with Yale lock and an aisle
way between front seats, which has
Eeen a National attribute for three
years.

Premier Company Now
Has Active Production

The Premier Motor +. corporation
has graduated from the prospect into
tie reality class. Twenty-one cars
were shipped in n single day last
week, and the daily average shipment
for the week was twelve cars per day.
schedule of twenty five cars n day,
it is said, will be reached before Feb
ruary first. over one thousand men
are now employed at the Premier
plant.
Fresh from the New York show.
where Premier scored a tremendous
hit, p. ID. Stubbs, general sales man
ager of the Premier Motor corpora
ton, reports the biggest week he has
ever known, since he has been in the
motor business. The crowning
achievement of the week was the
closing with the j. w. Leavitt COM
pany for the handling of premier
cars out of San Francisco. The ].
w. Leavitt company, until recently,
handled Overland cars in the Pacific
Coast territory. Their sales amounted
to over 5000 cars in 1916. They are
building new home in San Francis
co for Premier. which will contain
$4,000 square feet of floor space and
is said to be the finest sales and SER
vice building on the coast
D. w. Leavitt is president of the
company which is to handle Premier
and a. ID. Plughoff is vice-president
and general manager. The deal is
probably the biggest pulled off, at
the New York show.
I'VE are gratified," says Sales Man
ager Stubbs, "at the astounding re-
ception which Premier is getting from
coast to coast. The product is re-
markable in many fundamental ways
but there must be something in our
favor beyond mere mechanical ex-
cellence. We have gone about this
proposition very conscientiously. We
have put man-power above all else,
and the type of men who constitute
the Premier factory personnel must
have had tremendous influence.
Then. too, do not overlook the in
huence of the dealers who have been
attracted to the Premier's standard.
Men like Jim Levy, of Chicago, are
typical of the class which is introdc-
ing the Aluminium Six to the Ameri-
can people-and men of the Levy type
attract and inspire men of the sLeavitt
and Plughoff type with confidence in
the product.
1T was hardly reasonable to eX-
pect that we, even with most re-
markable car, could build up a first
class countrywide representation in
SIX months-but that is exactly what
has been accomplished / take no
credit for this achievement-the car
and our organization deserve all the
praise. one thing is sure-Indianapolis
now has still another big, f1ourishing
motorcar factory-Premier is not GO
ing TO be success-it already is a
success"

Application of Brakes
Makes Tires Wear Uneven

1t is often that the motorist upon
inspecting his tires finds that one
rear tire is wearing very much faster
than the tire on the opposite wheel.
Very likely both tires were put on at
the same time and had the same mile
age. The right rear may wear out
little faster than the tire on the op-
posite wheel because of the fact that
while the motorist pulls out to the
side of the road in passing other We
hicles, subjects this right rear tire
TO the unimproved road. But there is
another reason, according TO MT.
Mosher, manager of tho local branch
of the Fisk Rubber company, which Is
usually the cause for one of the rear
tires to wear faster than the otner
and this is due directly to the brakes
not being equalized. BY this is meant
that one brake-drum does not take
hold IN exactly the same time ana
with as much force as the brake
drum on the other wheel.
An occasional inspection OF your
brakes should be made, in order TO
reduce your tire cost per mile ana
TO make your brakes dependable.
For the inspection of the brakes.
Jack up the rear end of the car so
that both tires are clear of the
ground, start your motor and throw
in the clutch. start both your rear
wheels spinning. now apply the foot
brakes TO determine IL both brakes
act alike on the wheels. il one wheel
stops and the other revolves, you
have located the cause, for one tire
wearing quicker than the tire on the
opposite wheel. as the brakes that
drag will cause excessive strain and
shorten the mileage life of any tire.
Inspection of the brakes should be
made at least every thousand miles.

Overland Country Club Is
Feature of Annual Shows

The Overland Country Club road
ster is attracting more tnan the usual
amount of attention at the various
auto shows throughout the country
demonstrating clearly that this small
est member of the Overland family is
going to be one of the best sellers of
the 1917 line.
When the WHY'S s-Overland COM
pany staged the biggest dealers con-
vention ever held in the history of
the automobile industry at Toledo last
month, one of it's chief attractions was
the complete line of new Overland
and WHY'S Knight models on exhibit
ton at the factory's showrooms. The
convention had been in session less
than a week when it became evident
to officials OF the company that the
entire production of Country Club
roadsters would be insufficient to meet
the demands of its dealers.
E. NJ. Bachrach, the Overland deal
er at Manila, travelled thousands of
miles in order to attend the conven-
ton. He brought with him to Toledo
a certified check for $4,000 and was
so enthusiastic over the appearance
ana performance of the Country Club
roadster that he was half inclined to
invest the whole amount in this one
nolel alone. TO-
Mr. Bachrach's enthusiasm over the
Country Club sport model was shared
by every one of the 5000 dealers who
attended the Overland convention.
Every man who observed it had some
thing good to say about it. Those who
cared to, tried 1t out over the country
roads and the city thoroughfares and
We're delighted with its performance.
It's light weight and short wheelbase
enabled them to handle it easily in
any kind of traffic. The powerful four
cylinder motor gave them all the speed
they were looking for.
"One would think that the Country
Club roadster is curiosity of some
kind, judging from the attention it is
attracting says John n. Willys.
president of the WHY'S Overland com
pany.
In way it is a curiosity because it
is the only real smart sport model in
tie low priced class, but it is a prac-
tical car in every detail 1t is a quail
ity car from base to top, designed to
answer the requirements of an army
Of buyers who want distinctive med

Haynes Is an All-Winter
Car That Appeals to Many

The day when the motorist. figur-
atively speaking. puts moth-balls in
his motorcar and shelves it away for
the winter. seems to have gone into
the discard. At any rate such is the
case if the sales of Haynes cars to
users is any criterion.
With an output three times as great
during the winter months this year,
Haynes officials expected that they
would be able to store up u few
cars against the spring rush. But
Haynes owners have been driving
their cars in cold weather so much of
late, and have been experiencing so
little inconvenience in so doing, that
numerous folks who had made up
their minds to buy Haynes cars, de-
cided not to wait until everybody else
was of the same mind. And so the
orders have been pouring in through
out the dead of winter.
1t is more of a habit than anything
else to postpone buying cars until
spring. That is, in those localities
where the roads permit of winter
driving as they do in many places.
In by-gone days the motorcar was
more or less of n delicate flower and
wintry blasts and frigid temperatures
caused 1t to wither when it came to
snowstorm performances.
But to-day light car of great pow
er such as a Haynes, works as nicely
as in the balmy days of summer, due
to its mechanical perfection. Little
extra attention is necessary. This is
one reason why a whole trainload of
Haynes cars was recently shipped to
one point, Kansas City, to fill orders
for winter delivery.
To paraphrase the Christmas slog-
an, only few more days till spring
Buy now and avoid the rush" seems
to be ruling factor in speeding up
sales at this time.

Automobile Recognized
as Legitimate Security

According to Walter H. Afford,
president of the Nash Motors
Company. formerly controller of the
General Motors company, and close
ly in touch with financial matters.
the motorcar dealer no longer has
difficulty in negotiating sufficient
loans to finance the purchase and
storage of cars during the winter
months
Heretofore, right in the midst of
the spring and summer selling seas
ons," declares Mr.. Afford, "motorcar
dealers have lost thousands of dol
lars in sales because they were un-
able to secure sufficient cars to fill
their orders. That was because eth
er through their inability to finance q
proper stock of cars in the winter, or
because of lack of foresight they lad
not laid proper plans at II time when
they could have secured these cars
from the manufacturer
There is only excuse for car
shortage today and that is lack of
foresight, for the banks now rank the
motorcar among their best securities
and are ready and eager to extend
reasonable loans to the dealer.
The automobile today is a real hu-
man necessity. an inseparable part of
our civilization. Competition has done
away with wildcat manufacturers
who do business on other than a
real business basis. Consequently alb
normally large profits no longer eX-
list and the selling price of the auto
mobile represents much more near
~ its true mmercial value.
In order to exist bank must de-
pend upon two classes Of customers:
depositors and borrowers. Without the
first no institution could maintain suf-
ficient funds to supply the latter
Without the latter the interest on the
depositor's money would eat up the
institution.
"Inasmuch as the moneys which the
bank lends are not the property of
the institution it would be n breach
'of trust to loan it without properly
securing the amount of the loan.
The automobile is now universally
recognized in banking circles as legiti-
mate security of the first quality and
consequently it is an easy matter for
a dealer of good standing in his COM
munity to properly finance his busi-
ness at regular banking rates of in

Saxon Dealers Enthusiasm
Inspires Increased Sales

Announcement of the new series
Saxon cars has been followed by
most enthusiastic reception, from the
Saxon dealers all over the country
and, according to the reports that are
coming in daily to the fatcory, the
new machines have already found q
distinct place in the eyes of the mo-
tor-bnying public.
After two seasons or success, before
unheard-of in the motor car indus
try, the present Saxon motor cars rep
resent the finest product that present
engineering skill and manufacturing
can produce. Already long and tried
service in the hands of thousands of
owners has won universal recogni-
tion for Saxon cars as automobiles of
unflagSing performance, economy of
upkeep and lasting efficiency. The
new series, to which many improve
ments and refinements have been
added, have, in consequence, impress
ed all who have seen them as cars of
exceptional merit.
No sooner had the Saxon Motor
Car corporation made public the new
series than dealers commenced a
clamor for cars that taxed the factory
to Its utmost, and the factory produc-
ton was In smooth working order be-
fore the new series was offered to the
dealers, One dealer drove away four

The dealers, as well as the public.
considered the series of the season Just
passed as one of exceptional value and
the new cars with more improvements
and refinements have amazed them,
Some of the dealers have written to
the factory saying they cannot under
stand how it is possible to produce an
automobile like the new series for
the price at which 1t is offered.
This time OF year, when most motor
car dealers are retrenching against
the coming winter, finds Saxon dealers
ordering more and more cars. They
say the fall trade resembles the spring
business of other years.
