Los Angeles Dealer
Guarantees King For Year

So successful has the Leach Motor
Car Company, the largest automo-
bile distributors in Southern Cali
fornia, been with the eight cylinder
King product that they have pub
licly announced a years guarantee
with each King sold.
Like all other automobile factor
les the guarantee on a motorcar is
for period of ninety days, but
the Leach Motor Car Company an
nounces through the Los Angeles
newspapers as follows: THE famous
King has reached such a degree
of mechanical perfection that we
now feel justified in backing this
remarkable car with full years
guarantee. This is the best and
strongest evidence we can possibly
submit of our confidence in the per-
formance of this car"
While this is the first instance
that the King factory officials have
of one of their dealers making such
broad statement on their own re-
sponsibility it is not the intention
of the factory to change the regu-
lar 90 day factory guarantee which
is the standardized form used by
the automobile manufacturers who
are members of the Automobile
Chamber of Commerce.

next, then the wheels, the sod pan,
the steering gear. battery installa-
ton and wiring connection. AS the
frame work leaves the electricians,
1t stops under the motor which is
suspended above 1t by crane that
has carried 1t in from the machine
shop.
The motor having been placed in
the frame, the gasoline tank comes
next and the car emerges complete,
as far as chassis is concerned.
Then comes an exhaustive test on
a half-mile brick track encircling the
main factory.
This test completed, the chassis is
rolled into the chassis paint room
a big department entirely devoted to
this task. No sooner has the paint
dried on the chassis than it goes
forward to meet the body, already
completely painted and upholstered.
The body department has finished its
work, and so has the chassis depart
ment, and the two elements are
quickly combined into the finished
product. .
Although a similar plan is fol-
lowed out in scores of other factor
les, often there is such evidence OF
haste and such apparent anxiety to
break previous production records
that the visitor is confused and won

there Is no sign of confusion and

every detail of the work. That is

of their production department

Motor Trucks Solve
Coal Delivery Problem

Besides facing shortages and un-
certainty about prices this year, re-
tail coal dealers are up against a
new problem in distribution because
of unprecedented conditions in their
market. The approach of cold
weather makes this a more and
more important questions for the
coal man.
He is finding that five to ten
times as many trips are required to
deliver 20 tons of coal to one Gus
toner this year than he ever had
to count upon before. He has not
himself been able to fill up his yard
to capacity, and his customers are
not disposed to load up with q wint-
er's supply while there is the pros
pect of a lower price in sight.
The result of all this is the nee
essity for making hundreds of deliv-
cry hauls that never before were
necessary. All over the country
hundreds of dealers who have been
using the Autocar two-ton motor
truck are adding to their fleets, and
other coal men, finding the horse
unequal to the heavier burden, are
beginning to use the Autocar be-
cause of its speed, sturdiness and
dependability.

The many visitors who daily go

easy, methodical way in which the
workmen labor at their tasks and the
surprisingly big results accom-
plished in short space of time.
Every detail in the building of q

The motors and machinery parts
are made and assembled, as far as
possible, in the enlarged machine
shops of the main factory. A few
feet away is the new building where
the parts meet the frame work OF
the chassis and the car is put to-
gether.

chine shop into the new building he
finds himself at the starting point oi

Owners Prefer to Drive
Closed Type Of Car

Throughout the country there is a
decided trend among automobile
buyers towards the type of closed
car that can be driven by the owner
himself. Motorcar authorities at
tribute this to the fact that chauf-
feurs, young men as class, are in a
large proportion subject to the Sc
lective draft for the new National
Army.
Owners who are thus deprived OF
II chauffeur are, however, seeing re-
lief in the convertible touring Sedan
and they are in sufficient number to
give a recognizable impulse to the
demand for cars of this type.
I'VE are already experiencing a
demand from owners who have lost
or are going to lose their chauffeurs," !"
said ]. A. Bentz, of the Bentz-Landis
Company, local National Highway
motorcar distributor for the new
National IL and 6-cylinder Sedans.
This car, with its airplane type 12-
cylinder or powerful 6-cylinder mo-
tor, is so easily handled that no
woman finds the work eXhausting.
1t is easily and quickly converted
from the closed Sedan to the open
touring car model-without stepping
out of the car. Protection against
rain without the bothersome work
of putting up curtains, and absence
ofna lot of work removing and hous-
ing top or parts of the top meet
about ever yother demand, so that
where chauffeurs have been sum-
moned, touring Sedan provides n
way out of the difficulty. With the
Sedan the driver is with the rest of
the passengers just the same as in a
touring car.
1t is also true that our touring
Sedan gives a wider range of vision
than the cloth tops, which many
motorists never lower, anyway, be-
cause of the bother. There is less
overhang-it is not needed for our
tain attachment-and the back win
dow is larger than in most cloth
tops.
Thus the man or woman who de-
sires all-year driving need not de-
pend on a chauffeur. The touring
Sedan, sans chauffeur, answers all
requirements, summer or winter.

Is PROVING IT'S
GENUINE VALUE
Motor Car Has Become a Dual
Necessity and a Great
Source of Pleasure

This season has proved to AM
erican motorists the real value of
the automobile" says p. Driscoll,
distributor of Studebaker cars in
Harrisburg and vicinity.
= Never before has the worth OF
the motorcars as dual business
and pleasure necessity so forclply
been brought home to the man or
woman owning a machine. In this
stirring time of business and the in
creasing shortage of labor the man
with the motorcar has been able
to do twice and in many instances
many times as much work as he
was formerly able to do. The time
saved in going to and from the Of
fice and to and from appointments
has been one of the big features OF
the use of the automobile in busi-
ness. And the man owning motor
trucks, while his competitor still
sticks to the old method of horse
drawn drayS and trucks, has found
| the going" and the business re-
suits far in advance of his neighbor
But the big feature of owning
a motorcar lies in its adoption fol
touring about the country. we have
greeted more Studebaker owners
from many states of the union here
this past month than we have fol-
many ponths preceding. The own
ers almost without exception de-
clare that their cars have proved
the means of giving them an op-
| portunity to learn more about theil
own country in a short space o1
time than would be possible over
three or four times the same per.
iod-and riding on a train does moi
| permit of the exploration of the
interior of historic places that is
possible through the use, of the au'
! tomobile.
THE education that the car pro.
vides also cements a stronger feel
ing within every American to see
America First, and once having
seen much of their native land tC
go back home and redouble theil
energies to do their bit for Uncle
| Sam.
so, the man of moderate means
can find it very profitable from
many angles to own a Studebakel
and learn more of the land in which
he is living besides using it in his
business life every day.

EFFICIENCY IN
PEERLESS SYSTEM
Production Methods Result in
Utmost Efficiency for Build
ing More Perfect Car

The outstanding feature among all
the interesting and original factory
methods employed by the Peerless
Motor Car Companys of Cleveland,
Ohio, builders of the famous two
power range Peerless Eight, is. in
the opinion of many, it's production
system.
With recent large additions to the
factory, the company is able to work
its hobby-painstaking manufacture
ing-to the limit.
The method itself is based largely
on the progressive production sys-
tenn which has revolutionized auto
mobile building during the last few
years. However, the Peerlss way of
doing it differs greatly from the
average way. Progressive produc-
tion was first attempted largely for
quantity production purposes and
for elimination of wasted time. In
the Peerless case, it was not adopted
solely for quantity's sake nor to
speed up the work on the individual
|cars.

I'VE recently demonstrated" con-
tinued Mr.. Lee, that the front
wheel drive is more effective than
the rear wheel drive, and at the
same time substantiated our claims
that the four wheel drive principle
is superior to either the rear or
front wheel drive.
During the eXcavating for the
foundation of a local factory, the
eXcavated material was hauled away
with Duplex 4-Wheel Drive Truck
The runway from the pit to street
level was rather more than a 33 per
cent incline, which-together with
the fact that the truck was haul
ing 5000 pound loads-was a severe
test of the pulling ability of the 3 u
ton truck.
ITO settle a matter then in ques-
I ton, the contractor decided to sat
isfy himself which represented the
greatest hauling factor-front wheel
pull or rear wheel push. He disen-
gagged the front wheel drive shaft
in consequence of which the Dup
lex had no more or less hauling
power than ordinary rear drive
trucks of the same rated capacities
But the load and the incline proved
too much for the rear wheel push
the truck refused to bulge.
Then the front wheel drive shaft
was engaged and the rear wheel
shaft disengaged. With only the
front wheels at work the Duplex
truck negotiated the incline without
difficulty.
"On the second trip. under identi-
cal conditions, the truck was stopped
half way up the incline, then start
ed again, and as before, it made
the balance of the grade without a
hitch.
This test thoroughly demonstrat-
ed the effectiveness of the four
wheel drive principal and perhaps
makes it more readily understood
why the government favored four
wheel drive trucks in it's recent or
der for motor vehicles to be used
in Army service"
