Foresees Speedy Com

The automobile racing game may be
resumed In Philadelphia this year, after

the races will be held under ideal con-
ditions and not upon the tortuous road
way of Fairmount Park on which they
were held in 1911. The Philadelphia
Motor Speedway Association hopes to
have its hig racing oval near Willow
Grove completed by October. BY II
the association hopes TO draw to Phila-
delphia 100000 visitors elch year.
The speed that will be attained at
the new speedway, with its track two
by fours laid edgewise. like a huge
bowling alley and its curves banked
high in the air. will seem phenomenal
compared to the Fairmount Park races.
Engineers who have passed upon the
speedway plans declare that a speed OF
two miles minute may be easily de-
veloped In Its contests. The speed pos
sihlities Of the track may be attributed
to the construction of the track surface.
,ong-leaf yellow pine timbers measuring
two by four inches are laid on the edge
so that the whole track will be elastic
and resilient and as smooth as a polished
bowling alley. This construction reduces
to minimum the vibration set up by
the cars by the track surface and makes
lightning speed possible. The speed :

II expect to see one Of the best years

Overland branch in Philadelphia we have

Business is good. certain lines are
running to more than full capacity, big
salaries are being paid and thousands
of men who were not in the market
before for a car are interested now.
Business men who heretofore have
not used cars will find it impossible to
get along without them. due to changed
conditions, and these. men will be in the
market.
Indeed. the big problem Is not the
selling of the cars so much as is the
delivery of them. Persons who want
cars should order now. The automobile
companies throughout the country have
offered so per cent Of the use of their
