JORDAN CARS MN NAY MID LARGE
 TAXICAB SERVICE

The Walden w. Shaw company of Chicago, said to he the largest taxicab and automobile livery company in the United States, has recently added the Jordan automobile to the 1.200 to 1500 cars which it already has in service The sale of ten seven passenger JOr- dan touring cars to the Shaw company was made by Chicago Motor Car Com pany. Inc, Jordan distributors in the Windy City.
 The Shaw concern not only maintains a completely equipped repair shop but also a factory for the building of cars for it's own use. Inasmuch as the com pany caters especially to the highest class of trade and because it has such vast resources at it's command for the selection or building of the highest class of motor cars, the Jordan com pany regards the choice of its product as real tribute to the merits of the new Jordan car.
 Paul GeNSer. superintendent of the Shaw company's manufacturing plant and repair department, is an autOmo- bile engineer of long experience and he had much to do with the adding of the Jordan car to the Shaw equip ment. He explained that he was first
  composed of only the highest grade of mechanical parts obtainable in the parts market or through the leading parts builders of the industry Its fashionable lines also appealed to him, he said.
 Although the Jordan car is less than a year old it is already a familiar ob- ject around the fashionable hotels ana clubs both in the cities and in the eX- elusive suburbs.
 The Jordan car has been a most agreeable motor vehicle for introduce ton to the Chicago public" says O. G. Heffinger, president of Chicago Mo tor Car Co.,, Inc "The taking over of a new line of motor cars is much like taking a stranger into your club. If he is not attractive in appearance; if h, has nothing to offer in the way of in telligent conversation, and if he has no family or performance back of him it is most difficult to get him any sort of acquaintance with the other mem bers
 "On the other hand, if he has some thing to distinguish him from being just an ordinary man, everyone is glad to meet him. The same situation ap- plies to a new line of motor cars. Ii they have nothing to offer Tn the way of new lines. equipment or perform ance, the public will not bother with them.
 ''The Jordan not only presented the extreme in fashion in medium priced cars but it was made up of the stand ard parts which are known the world over for their merit and excellence That is why the public wanted to meet it and why it became acquainted with it in short order. And that is why the Shaw company chose the Jordan, fn- stead of building more of it's own cars or selecting a certain make in the vasl field of different cars"

SlGVAL SYSTEM E
 AIO ID POLICE IN
 DEPICTING THEfTo

Automobile thieves and joy riders have recently become so numerous and bold that car owners are obliged to safeguard their interests by equipping their machines with devices, something that will prevent miscreants from spiritinS away their cars.
 In the days gone by in our western territory thieves were hung for horse stealing. We cant very well hang auto thieves, vet they must be dealt with The Auto Theft Signal system is one method of solving the problem
 The fact that police have no way of distinguishing the owner of a car, makes a thiefs work easy. A crook can pose as the owner of a car and drive off with it.
 The Auto Theft Signal identifies the , owner of the car which it is protect ing, while it's conspicuous position on the right front wheel of an automobile offers little chance for a thief 70 tam peI with it without attracting the at tention of passersby and police. who have been made acquainted with the reward offer made by the manufac- turers.

F0RD STEEL MUST
 PASS HIGH TESTS

! The Ford Motor company has recOg- nized along with other motor car man. ufacturers that quality in the automo- bile chassis is determined by the strength of the material of which it is constructed and the simplicity of de- sign.
 The correctness of Ford design is demonstrated in the fact that since 1908 more than 100000 Ford cars have been built on the unchanged model T chassis.
 For strength of material the most important factor in a motor car is the character of steel that goes into it's working parts.
 In the case of Ford steel the mate rial is f!rst tested at the sourse. Steel in the great rolling mills, still in billet form, must conform to very definite re- quirements if it is to become a part of Ford cars. That is why, nearly every day, a shipment of samples taken from each heat at the steel mill, arrives at the laboratory ir-Detroit to le analyze by the staff of chemists and physicists.
 The results determine the fate of the

PAIGE ROADSTER SETS RECORD IN
 5TRENOU5 TRIP

A travel-stained but agile roadster rolled briskly into Los Angeles the other day with a record that will doubtless warm the pride of it's maker and also arouse the envy of many a motorist who is longing for various reasons to go out and do likewise.
 Tine car bore MT and Mrs. Everett T. Moore, of Newport Vt, who an- nouuced that they had just completed 8 leisurely conducted jaunt of some 6.5G0 miles across the continent, dur ing which they had not once spent a night under a roof.
 Tn october, 1915. Mr. Moore bought a Paige. but finding that in six weeks Cr SO the rigors of the New England CIiFna zz3'would make motoring dis agreeable if not impossible for many months. he determined that as soon as convenient he would motor away from there to the sections of the coun- try where the delights of the automo- bile can be enjoyed the year around.
 Consequently. in June, 1916. Mr. and Mrs Moore started oUt on their long iaunt which was eventually to take them to the southern sections of the country and finally to the Pacific coast After camping for several weeks at various places in the White Mountains of New Hampshire they started on their way westward. Wherever a spot looked good to them they stopped and camped until the spirit moved them to go on.
 The most interesting experiences of the trip were encountered in the southwest and the travellers found Q great deal of pleasure in overcoming the obstacles that were occasionally presented. On the trip from Flag staff to the Grand Canyon it was necessary in several places to ford streams where the water came up to the bottom of the radiator There was also a great deal of mud to buck at times but in every instance, Mir Moore reports, the Paige came through in fine shape A shovel and a Full-U-Out were the only equipment carried and they were never used No adjustments or repairs were re- quired. Even the heat caused no an- noyance as the water did not at any time boil in the radiator

DEALERS IF TODAY
 MAY RISE TO H|GH
 FACTORY POSITIONS

If such a thing as continuous civil service development in the automobile industry were practical. the statesmen and deelers of today might be the presidents or general managers of the big motor ear manufacturers plants tomorrow
 But, as one man who has risen from the salesman's position to the executive head of a great factory naively puts it: ''f 4'1~ef here ire not enough executive positions to go around so a lot of men will seek their success in life in being the best dealers in their territories. But it is 8 mighty fine community of interest feeling that obtains when you can say as president when you clasp the hand of one of your dealers: I was dealer in a big city and now l con- slider the dealer organization of my company the foundation of the con- cern's success
 Twelve years ago President Otis c. Friend of the Mitchell Motors Com pany, Inc, was a salesman marketing "Ntomofile- The business ohsessed him and he grimly remarked that he would be a major league city dealer if he had to work day and night. Then he accomplished his desire and there's an old sign still hanging, bearing his name as dealer. Subsequently, Mr Friend became general sales manager of the Mitchell company and made the point of personal contact with Mitchell the arrest and conviction of any per son caught tampering with the device or trying to move the car so equipped The device in combination with the reward offer constitutes the Auto Theft Signal system.

And when MT. Friend

And when MT. Friend says: We have material bought and stored for the output of 20G00 Mitchell cars for 1917 and will make deliveries as per our contracts with you says one deal CT, thers is not a dealer in the country wide organization that does not real ize that MT. Friend means every word he says. They have thirty-one extra features of great value in the Mitchell this year, but there are 131 features of value that President Friend displays to the loyal and energetic dealers of his company's selling organization.

 "Yes I became keenly alive to the problems of dealers says MT. Friend Tt was work of pleasure to get to know the boys who were disposing of our output, even to knowing them all by their first names-yes. even to their nicknames among the men of the in dustry in their respective neighbor hoods
 Today that list of Mitchell dealers is one of the most remarkable lists of loyal, enthusiastic and earnest men that it is the honor of any manufac- turing company in this country to have. l pride myself upon remembering these men and never miss an opportunity to cement a friendship with the newcomer
