E. L. Cowden Drives New
/. 1920 Apperson From Ind.

E. L Cowden OF the Keystone Sales
Company. 1os Market street, has re-
Gently returned from a six hundred and
fifty mile trip. from Kokomo. Indiana
The trip was made IN one of the new
1920 Standard model Apperson eight
cylinder touring cars, the journey which
included many hard, hilly roads, being
made entirely in high gear Mr..
Cowden kept a careful record of mile
age and gasoline consumption for the
trip, the results showing that over six
teen miles to the gallon of gas were
made. The trip was made via Colum-
bus, GAINESVILLE, Cambridge, Wheeling,
Uniontown, Cumberland and Hagers-
town.
Mr. Cowden left Kokomo at 1890
Tuesday morning and arrived in Har-
risburg at $40 Saturday evening. Mr..
Cowden, who has been so patiently
waiting for these new models to come
through their natural trip through the
factory just couldn't wait until the cars
took to the final checking station. but
| les went right in and took ii from
the finishing department" as he didn t
intend running the chance OF someone
else getting 1t at the delivery depart
ment of this great factory and when
he did get it he lost no time in prepar-
ing to start for home.
In speaking about his trip Mr.. Cow
den couldn't restrain himself in COM
plimenting the wonderful reliability of
this new Apperson model, for he was
positive in his statement that he never
saw an automobile perform with so
much grace, and ease in mounting the
long stretches of mountain roadway,
climbing grades on high that other cars
take on second and accelerating from
low to high speed without the slight
est degree of hesitancy, than this new
conner in motordom."
This trip has moro firmly welded
me to Apperson cars" continued Mr.
Cowden, and want everybody to know
that in presenting this car to the
motoring public we do not fear tell
ing what the Apperson can do-and
we're rot afraid of proving 1t, for there
has been a tendency on the part of
statesmen for certain cars to tell people
what beautiful lines a car had-and
quit The Apperson way of selling a
car Is decidedly different-we deal in
facts. for as Mr.. Jarrard, vice-presi-
dent of the Apperson Bros. Automobile
Company says-"Sell the Apperson on
its acceleration in high of one to forty
miles in twenty seconds, Tell about
the Apperson emergency stop from
forty miles an hour to a standstill In
four seconds-forty yards. -
The foregoing are excerpts from
a talk by Charles W. Nash, presi-
dent of the Nash Motors Company,
to students OF the University of Wis
consin.
Honesty, loyalty and energy are
the three necessary qualifications for
success to-day" said Mr.. Nash. "As
to honesty, it may be hard at times
to tell the truth, but I think there
is little difference between deceit
and a lie.
"At the Nash factory in Kenosha
we are a real family. Every man
in the plant knows he can come to
my Office at any time and be greeted
cordially.
TOO many OF US to-day measure
success by the dollar sign. II I
have to buy my way into any place
but a show. I don't want to get
there. Furthermore. don't see any
use in acquiring a great amount of
wealth. You can only wear one suit
of clothes at a time and eat only
one meal at time, anyway. If one
makes a success OF life, money is
very likely to come. But as you 20
along through life. see that those
who are working with you beneft
by you. 1t is worth more to a man
to be able to say he never did any
thing dishonorable in his life than
1t is to have lot of dollars behind
him.
