JORDAN URGES
ACCEPTANCE OF
OPEN CARS NOW
Spring Deliveries to Be Re-
tarded by Big
Demand

Edward S. Jordan. president of
the Jordan Motor Car Company,
urges Jordan dealers to safeguard
their spring business by taking now
all Jordan cars they can get from
the factory. Mr.. Jordan sends this
message from England where he
went to attend the Olympia Motor
Show and visit the principal foreign
motor car factories.
1--WE are now producing 500 cars
a month" says Mr.. Jordan In his
message to dealers, with orders
from dealers for immediate delivery
of ten months production at this
rate. There is every indication that
the demand will increase steadily
throughout the winter.
''The closed car situation from
the standpoint of deliveries is most
discouraging. No one can begin to
produce enough closed cars to meet
more than a fraction of the de-
mand. No one could possibly have
anticipated such q demand. Even
If it could have been an
ticipated, producers of plate glass
for wind-shields, top lights, and
closed car windows would be un-
able to supply sufficient glass for
months to come. Furthermore, the
production of closed car hardware
is far too limited to satisfy the de-
mand. Besides all this, the num-
ber of body manufacturers is very

Two hundred and sixteen types of
passenger automobiles and trucks
were represented in the $4,000 ma
rhine purchased by the War De-
partment during the recent emerg-

small roadster of about a half
ton to the lotion portable crane.
The Automobile Ambulance Unit.
S. S. u, No. SAG, was recently del
corated with the Croix de Guerre
and hte Medal Militaire and Four
ayers. 1t was the first time in hiss
tory of the French army that unit'
of this kind has been given such high
honors. The unit was originally
known as the Formation Harles,
and was the first American motor
unit to participate in the world
war.
Garage dealers in Clinton, ILL.,,
have installed q nickel -in-hte-slot
device for supplying air and water
to motor vehicles. For five cents
a driver may obtain enough air to
initiate his tires and enough water
to fill his radiator.
The latest production Of motors in
England is a passenger car rated at
100-horsepower at $500 revolutions.
To handle this power four forward
speed gear sets are employed.

NEW NASH COUPE
IS SHOWN HERE
Four-P Passenger Six, the Latest
Word in Nash
Models

The new Nash coupe is here. The
lateness of it's coming, due to tardi-
ness in production has in no way
allayed the many luXuriant and COM
Portable appointments of its interior
nor the beauty of it's streamline body.
1t is the last word in Nash models
and in keeping with the fineness of
former Nash cars. There is ample
seating capacity for four people. The
motor is of the latest improved six
cylinder type. valve-in-head and with
the spark plugs entering the head
of the motor.
The new model is now on display
at the salesrooms of the Myers Mo-
tor Sales Company, local Nash dis
tributors, 1910 Penn street, near
Broad.
Mr.. Myers in speaking of the coupe,
says: I'm the construction of the
Nash six four passenger coupe no de-
tail that might provide for comfort
or convenience has been overlooked.
The seats are wide and comfortable
and their arrangement makes it easy
for passenger to enter or leave the
car under all conditions. Permanent
seats are provided for three with the
drivers seat a little forward of the
others This arrangement, while leav-
ing the drivers seat close enough to
the rest of the passengers to enable
him to carry on a conversation with
no inconvenience, gives him more
than ordinary driving room and al
lows him unusual freedom of move
ment.
Windows in the Nash Six coupe are
adjustable by the turning of a
nickeled handle. Adjustment may be
made to any position of the window
desired The plate glass windows
securely fitted have no interstices
through which the wind or rain can
penetrate, shutting out the elements.
Because the door supports are built
permanently into the car there is no
body vibration or rumble at any
speed.
illumination is provided by two
sunken lights at either side in the
rear of the car.
1T is upholstered in beautiful taupe
colored mohair. The cushions are
wide apart, broad and deep, and the
seats have the comfortable resiliency
of springs which add so much to the
joys of motoring and rob it of
fatigue"

Every Mysterious Box

Andrew Redmond, local Chandler
distributor.
Production troubles in Chicago.
where sockets and plugs for Chandler
headlamps are made, caused a serious
shortage recently of these small but
very necessary articles. Things
looked bad at first. but finally almost
normal production was resumed, and
everything would have been fine-eX-
cept for the need of fast transporta-
ton service between Chicago and
Cleveland"
Efforts to get these parts through
speedily enough to catch up with pro-
duction were to no avail. Regular
special delivery mail. railway ex-
press and even baggage were not
adequate because the sockets and
plugs weren't being made fast
sufficient frequent intervals.
Some other method of transporta-
ton had to be found. And it was.
For now these parts are coming
through by airplane special delivery
mail, and this shortage has now been
practically overcome.
There is nothing particularly
startling about all this. perhaps. eX-
cept that 1t illustrates vividly the
determination with which manufac-
turers in the automobile industry
have been working, throughout the
year, to overcome production diff
ficulties. No effort and no reason
able expense have been spared.

small considering the demand, their
facilities are limited, and they can
not secure enough men qualified to
build high-grade closed bodies.
"It will be impossible for any
factory to include closed models in
their shipment of open cars. Any
dealer who shows any inclination to
hold up shipments of open cars for
closed cars will have to pay the
penalty in the spring through the
shortage of open cars when he most
needs them. We therefore urge all
distributors or dealers to safeguard
their spring business by preparing
for 1T as we have prepared for it
by notifying ali of our suppliers that
we are ready to take any quantity
of material they can ship at any
time.
There is already a shortage of
one million cars. There will be a
short period during the winter when
every dealer cannot sell every car
he can get for immediate delivery.
But deliveries this year will be so
widely distributed and production
so far short of demand that no
dealer or distributor can accumu-
late any quantity of cars.
There are 10000 dealers in the
United States. IF each dealer Sc
cured only one car for storage, the
factories would have to produce
surplus of 10000 cars beyond the
present demand. That is entirely
out of the question.
Il expect to see the demand for
cars increase after the New York
show the first week of January, and
see 1t pass beyond all possibilities
of production following the Chicago
show.
we realize that we cannot give
our dealers all the cars they want,
but we plan to have our cars widely
enough distributed so that each
dealer will have an opportunity to
share the success which will GER
tainly come within the next six
months"

They are all specialists, in the treat
ment of certain diseases. They treat
without surgical operations diseases
of all internal organs, stomach, in
testines,. constipation, piles, liver,
spleen, heart, nerves, skin, rheuma-
tism, sciatica, goitre, tape worm, leg
ulcers and all long standing, deep
seated diseases. Many years exper-
fence. The complete record of
thousands of cases successfully treat
ed prove that their methods are
right. They were among the first to
earn the name
"BLOODLESS SURGEONS"
Each staff member has at his COM
mana the knowledge ana resources OF
the organization. Many people suf-
fer from diseases that can be allevi-
ated just because they cannot afford
to go to high priced Specialists and
Hospitals long distance from home.
No community has a sufficient num-
Der suffering from these diseases to
support special hospitals for their
treatment and cure. The United
Doctors have solved the problem.
Their highly trained Specialists go to
each community and will advise a
proper course of treatment for the
sufferers and instruct them how to
take care of themselves at home.
No matter what you have been told or
the experience you have had with
other physicians, consult him on this
visit. 1t costs nothing. If your case
is incurable he will give you advice as
may stay and relieve the disease.
