Engine for
Owen Cars

Admirers of the Owen Magnetic
found last night at the show that in
the new 1913 series the car had been
noticeably improved and refined. Not
only has a more powerful engine been
substituted but the body lines have
been made more graceful and attrac
tive.
"The new series Owen Magnetic, with
its valvein-head engine, its 142-nch
wheelbase and it's new bodies, is GER
tain to make strong appeal to the
Ernest S. Partridge, local manager.
"The Owen Magnetic is now on exhibit
ton for the fifth season. Each year the
makers have placed on view a car that
has commanded the attention of the
critical buyers, and it's growth in popu
larity is evidenced by the increasing
numbers to be seen on the streets.
Confronted by Shortage
~ cannot help but feel that we will
have easy sailing this year in disposing
Of our allotment. We are taking with
as good grace as possible the shortage
that confronts US and other dealers on
account Of the war work our factories
are turning out for the government.
There is no other reason for shortage
we could approve half so quickly, for
we motor men are ready 10 sucriice
to help win the war.
"There is no doubt in my mind that
this will be year of early orders. The
public realizes the great part the auto
mobile industry is playing in furnish
ing the government with men and parts
and material and understands thar
there undoubtedly will be consequent

A. NJ. Dean. More than two years ago
he began working out his four-cylindcr
gasolene engine. At a test made in
the shops of the Ferro Machine and
Foundry Company the power curve
showed straight line from 400 to
1900 revolutions minute, and reached
a maximum of 43 horsepower at 2,100
revolutions on the dynamometer. In
view of its piston displacement of
1868 cubic inches, 3$sinch bore by
51a-inch stroke, the result of the test
was considered remarkable.

Motor Car Market
Shifting Its Base

cts an i'll wind that blows no one
good. The aggressive dealer who six
months ago thought his time had come
is now reaping the industrial benefits
of the unfortunate circumstances
which upset the organization of the
country and threatened to ruin his
business" says w. b. Riley, sales man
ager, Jordan Motor Car Company
"Thc working class Of people are
making more money than they ever
made before, while the farmer, with
production of S26,5oO 100000, which is
nearly. seven billions more than last
years production, is deriving about 100
per cent profit.
"Such conditions. of course, have
brought about a marked change in the
location Of ready money The man
who formerly had a great deal and has
bought many Liberty bonds is now pay
ing higher discount and is paying
more for tho luXuries which he for
merly enjoyed and has less to spend
for them. But his place is being taken
by the farmer and the worker, Who arc
bcnctitlng by the large expenditures of
money by the government and spend
ing their surplus for the luxuries for
merry denied them
Hence new and virgin class of buy
crs has emerged from the usual condi-
tons Of war times. At first the dealer
was bit confused, because the people
who formerly had the money to BUY
hesitated and the new class Of BUYERS
had not yet made itself felt. He was
startled at the aspect of Jones, who
lives on the Avenue, conserving, while
Smith, who works on the farm, was
just beginning to look around for his
car. And when Smith bought it was
either good low priced car or a better
car in the upper medium priced class,
There is nothing so inspiring to the
dealer as to contemplate the opening
up of a new field for selling. The trad
ing situation is rapidly improving, not
only tor this reason but because the
manufacturer is now limiting his pro-
duction to take care of his own govern.
ment orders.
"Anothcr improvement that has
given the dealer cons iderable encour
agemcnt is the longer profit on each
car he sells. While all cars aye gone
has remained the same, so that, al
though his sales are fewer, he realizes
a greater profit on each unit, and il
he trades intellgently he will make
a better profit in the end.
at is true, of course, that some deal
ers. encouraged by large quantity sales
have built up large service depart
ments, and have engaged expensive
salesrooms on the principal avenues O
the big cities. These distributors will
merely have to adopt the same policy
as that which is being adopted by tn,
most widely experienced of the manu-
facturers. They will reduce thei
overhead and encourage the manufac
turer if he is 20 get higher price, t,
make the car more attractive so as t,
warrant the price"

Business and professional men,
through the saving of time which the
automobile makes possible over any
other means of transportation, are able
to do moro work in shorter time and
with less expenditure of energy. The
unlimited power Of the automobile and
it's flexibility in crowded streets enable
owners to cover three blocks in the
same space of time it used to take to
cover one. This economy of time has
in many instances made possible men
having a multitude of interests, due to
doubling the number Of minutes in
their working hours.

done for business men and women. |

years to the fact that people have been
able, through the automobile, to &C

time, as the growth of any concern or
city depends upon the activities Of its
employees or population.

been reduced to such simplicity that it

and girls, as we'll as elderly people, sit

Heretofore the wife had to do her shop
ping either on foot or trust to the un-
