PEERLESS CHASSIS
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
The Later Models SHOW No Radical
Changes but Many Improve
menis Have Been Made.

Although the later Peerless mod
ele are practically the same In all
essential features that have char
acterised their general make up
and are entering their third season,
there have been many improve
'ments made on the sturdy chassis
which have made II more conven-
lent and efficient.
When this two-power range eight
was first shown at the New York
show at the beginning OF the 1915
season, both the officials OF the
company and the public were so
strongly impressed with It's possl-
billtiea that during the following
seasons there has been no necessity
for making any marked changes in
either chassis or design. However.
the engineering department has
been at work during the succeeding
seasons. adding every improvement
that would tend 20 increase tho COM
fort OF the motorist or the economy
OF operation.
To provide for the better oarbu-
retion OF low grade fuel now IN use
the gas mixture IL heated by passing
II through the exhaust manifold.
This heating process quickly vapor-
lies the gasoline an II passes into
the intake manifold and results in
getting the full force OF the explos-
I've mixture even with the lower
grade gasoline.
Looking nj the purely technical
changes which have been made in
the past season. tho most note
worthy IL the elimination of the
rocker arms In the valve operation
and the substitution OF straight line
valves and push rods. This mlnlm-
izcs wear gives greater clearance
and makes the action practically
nolselcss. Another Improvement has
been the change in the cahshnft
ana cam design This change pro-
duces slow and constant speed lift
nt the time of contact. This makes
the valve adjustment an easier mat
ter. II also adds greatly to the
power
Atwater- Kent closed circuit sys-
tenn Of ignition IN used instead OF
the open circuit SYSTEM, This type
OF systems II used on account OF its
simplicity OF design and depend
ability at high speeds. These
changes have been made after two
aud u half seasons OF laboratory
tests but the Peerless Is IN all its
main points the same car whose
great popularity was evident from
the start and whose performance
since that time has been up TO the
high standard originally set for Il
by It's designers.

day he is waiting for instructions as
to where he should go. His talks will
deal entirely With urging his people

The whole object of the order is
to get as many people as possible TO

summer. Every one is urged to place
his order for his winters need of coal
at the earliest possible moment. In
so doing. he will avoid The winter coal
shortage caused by railroad conges-
