JACKSON CAR IS
IA YEARS OLD

p. III. keboch, 15 South Third street,
= who is exhibiting the Jackson at the
local Auto Show, to-day had the fol-
lowing to say to a representative of
the Telegraph:
This car is the growth of fourteen
years. 1t was in 1902 that the first
Jackson was put on the road and such
roadsi-for the car was a product of
Michigan and the Michigan roads are
the antithesis of the Lincoln Highway.
So that is why this successful bit of
car building earned the right to SQUAD
the slogan, No hill too steep; no sand
too deep
George A Matthews was the max
er of the first Jackson; and he is wor-
thily succeeded by three sons who
now occupy the executive offices of the
company, and also succeeded to the
energy and ideals of their father,
showing their superlative effort in the
1917 line, exhibited this week at the
Auto Show.
Wolverine 349' is the high light of
the Jackson quartet this year, and the
one model on which the factory seems
to be concentrating. This chassis is
shown with touring body of five-pas-
senger and seven passenger; four-pas-
senger roadster; two-passenger road
ster. This is an eight-cylinder car, 49,
inch wheelbase; unit-power plant;
valve in head; thermo-syphonc cooling;
Zenith duplex carburetor; force-feed
lubrication; rear tank; full elliptic
springs, rear and front; adjustable
worm and gear steering; electric auto
light starting and lighting.
The equipment of the Wolverine
is very complete, including one-man
dreadnaught top; Collins curtains with
curtain openers on doors, rain vision
windshield: Stewart speedometer driv-
en- from transmission shaft; electric
light on instrument board: electric
horn; oil pressure gauge; Detroit de-
mountable rims; footrail, coat rail,
tools and jack; mechanical tire pump
attached to motor.
THE whole line is one four-cylin-
der model and three eights, represent
ing the very best construction in each
class.

BIG PRODUCTION
CUTS AUTO COST
P. Driscoll, Studebaker Dis
tributor, Tells of Benefits OF
Quantity Production

One of the most impressive develop
ments in the automobile industry has
been the advent of large scale produc-
tion, enabling motor cars of quality at
tion, enabling motor car manufactur-
ers to offer cars of quality at prices
several thousand dollars below what
those of similar value would have
cost a few years ago. And with the
developments of the modern motor car
to it's present state of perfection there
has come about an explosion of an old
idea that a motor car had to be heaNy
and large in order to stand up under
severe road strains.
'If you could see some of the auto
mobile of five or ten years ago be-
side the Studebaker now on. exhibit
ton at the show you would see very
practical change that has been
wrought in the automobile industry"
said p. Driscol of the Driscoll Auto
Sales Company, distributors of the
Studebaker line. ITO see some OF
those old cars now would make you
wonder why you ever gave them the

second look on the road years ago.
simply WOnueEIul tllen.
Quantity, production and modern
methods of manufacture have solved
the big problems for the motor car
maker. And now cars of comparative
1y light weight may be made of steels
of greater strength. toughness and
shock-resisting qualities than the
steels in cars weighing several hun
dred pounds more
The story of how steel can be
strengthened by alloys and heat
treating is fascinating. The results
are marvellous. The making of the
higher grades of steel, such as are now
used in Studebaker cars, has been
revolutionized and in no other branch
is it so evident as in the motor car in
dustry. The metallurgist, of whom
little is said these days, has been quite
as great an influence as the designer,
for upon him the inventor has depend
cd for steels to meet the unusual
stresses and strains of that wonderful
vehicle of the twentieth century, the
sturdy, lightweight automobile"
THE heat treatment of the steels
used in the manufacture of Stude-
baker cars requires scientific accuracy
At the Studebaker automobile factor
les, in Detroit, which are typical OF
the best methods in motor car con-
struction, the engineers have carefully
worked out specifications for the heat
treatment of all parts"

working by this modern method for

applied and measured with the most
minute accuracy"

HARRoUN's INVENTION

An automobile bumper-the first on
the records of the United States Patent
Office-gave Ray Harroun his start to
fame and prosperity. The fact was
admitted by Harroun, who also added
that the invention had turned out
profitable enough to have made him
Independent, had he chosen to retain
his rights in it.
"Ten or twelve years ago motorcars
began to get thick i'll Chicago" said
Harroun, land the traffic laws of the
day gave but little protection. The
bumper idea came to me, and I built
UP a model. The patent was easily
secured, and the article marketed un-
der my name. The company cleaned
up lot of money, but I sold my
rights early for enough cash to build
my first racing car"

BEST WAY FOR CHILDREN
TO AVOID ACCIDENTS

Here are a few instructions which
should be followed, thereby avoiding
serious accidents
Keep on the sidewalk.
Cross the street on the crosswalks.
Look UP and down the street before
attempting to cross.
Don't play in the street.
Don't "catch on teams, wagons or
street cars or run in the street behind
them.
Don't jump out suddenly into the
street from behind teams or automo-
blles.
Before stepping off any street con-
veyance look up and down the street.
Remember that the street is a place
of danger; the sidewalk is the place
for children ION foot"

DOES A MOTOR
CAR HAVELFE?
According TO Harry L. Myers,
Battery Is the "Life"
of the Car
Does an automobile have a life?

Does an automoblle nave lie!
In speaking of the life of an auto
mobile, we usually refer to the length
of time that elapses, or the number of
miles it covers, between it's delivery to
an owner and its consignment to the
junk heap. But Harry l.. Myers, of
the Excelsior Auto Company, says
that an automobile does have life,
and the storage battery is that life.
Picture to yourself a modern
equipped automobile standing inani-
prietors residence; at will he can take
his seat therein, one touch. and Presto
tho car is full of life, the lights are
lit! the engine purrs! the horn blows
to hurry up the tardy joyriders.
Whence comes all this life and mo-
tion? The answer, from the Exide
battery
The Excelsior Auto Company, dis
tributors for The well-known EXide
batteries, are just about to move into
their new addition which is a fire.
proof, brick and concrete building,
and which added to the one they now
occupy will give them total of over
ten thousand square feet of floor
space.
In addition to specializing on bat
teries, starters and electrical equip
ment for which they have special ma
chinery and appliances, they will do
all manner of automobile repair work,
and have one of the best equipped
shops for this work.
They do not intend taking the
agency for car, as has been rumored,
according to Mr.. Myers, but will give
their customers their undivided atten-
ton.
This new building is located at the
foot of the Mulberry street viaduct in
Eleventh street, and Mr.. Myers says
they are sure of having a few Gus

There are few of. these roads still
in existence, where toll is charged
in the Maryland, Delaware and Penn

ever. have been eliminated on account
of the State highway appropriation

To travel on these improved high
ways, charge was made for all sorts

was made so high that in few years
