There can be but answer and that is an emphatic

ways superior to a centralized show. During the past

PHILADELPHIA. March II, 1919
I'oom the balmy spring days of Wash

reIphia, within four short, hours is
ONE achievement, yet this is my ex-
,psrience on my trip to Philadelphia
ran into a blizzard. No damper,
however was placed on the automobile
SHOW by the bad weather, and as far
as I can learn. the show has been
crowded day and night ever since it
opened.
This is Philadelphia's eighteenth
automobile show, and it certainly has
reached the high water mark of motor
c2r displays the city has ever had. The
silow is held under the auspices tf
Tie Philadelphia Automobile Trade
- Ssociation, who have already con-
61cted fifteen similar shows.
The committee conducting this eX-
lsibit Is composed of the following Cf-
ficers: Albert E. Maltby, president; S.
II. Block, vice president; J. E. Gormey'
secretary and treasurer; also John II.
sAassitt and Lee ]. Eastman. All OF
bthom are well known in automobile
circles, not only in Philadelphia but
elsewhere.
This show is peculiar in one respect.
If one was not attracted by automo-
sSIes they could amuse themselves be-
fore entering the quotation, big ten

fractions at the commercial museum
guiding, in which the automobile
show is an adjunct In other words,

Noticeable that the visitors to the au-
tcmobile show linger to and from the
main exhibit in the museum. The au-
fomobiIe show itself does not meas
ure I'D in either its decorations or
displays to the Chicago or New York
slows, and to me was far inferior
10 that which I have seen in motor
CIR displays, and 1 want to say right
here that 1 believe our progressive
Fay King show far exceeds the
Philadelphia exhibit. The following
ere the list Of exhibits:
Lsxfngt0n-The Lexington chassis
mounts eight different body models
and representative types will be seen
: e the show. Features upon which
emphasis Is laid are the Moore mul.
tiple exhaust system. which provides
separate exhaust outlets so that back
pressure from the exhaust is mini
Iufzed, an ingenious and effective
unit frame construction, an emer-
geney brake that Is so easily oper-
a4ed that 1t Is termed a zone finger
brake, and nonmetallic universal
jofnts. The Lexington Company was
one OF the few to make early an
nouncement Of its 1919 models, which
include five-passenger touring car
with two auxiliary seats; five-pas-
senger tourabout, five-passengeI
convertible sedan, three-passen-
ger couplet, four ur-passenger coupe
four-passenger sedanette, five and
seVen-passenger salon sedan, town

turers lay stress on the fact that

its manufacture are on a large scale

car embOdies light weight. short wheel
base, high road clearance, easy riding
and good appearance. Its extremely
light weight is the result Of SIMPLE
fed construction. Strength and RI
gidity have been applied at those
points which sometimes have given
cause for complaint in very light
cars, with the result that tests have
shown this car to be remarkable In
its sturdiness. The wheel base Is only
100 inches, yet the new three-point
cantilever spring suspension, which
applies an old principle in a new
way, gives this car the body suspen-
sion effect similar to that OF a 130-

chassis model is 125 inches and all
bodies are fitted to this chassis. The
bodies include a seven-passenger

Paige-The Paige is presented the
public this year in a new SERIES
which has just made its debut. Judg-
ing from the enthusiasm Of the deal
ers who have already seen these cars,
the motoring public will find line
of automobiles which will not only
compel their attention, but which
will be found TO be far superior to
any other motor cars that have hjth-
10 borne the Paige namepiate- The
Paige is built on q single chassis
which carries no less than nine body
models-LinWOod, Glendale, Essex,
Larcfimont, Cabriolet. Sedan, L.m-
CUISINE, Coupe, and Town Car. The
Paige split chassis is a show fea-
ture that always attracts thTOngs be-

OIdsmobile.-There have only been
minor changes in the various Olds-

Liberty-Additions and detail i'm
provements in the Liberty line viii
add interest to the exhibits of this
popular car. The line has been made
more complete by the addition Of a
coupe and touring passenger model
the latter built on what are usually
termed speedster lines. The Liberty
hood has been somewhat changed,
and, in particular, the number OF
leuvres on each side Of the hood has
been more than doubled so that the
ventilation of the engine space has
been considerably improved. to the
benefit of the cooling of the engine.
The sedan, in its new form, has four
doors, and has been made more roomy'
and there are many improvements in
details. The complete line consists
of six bodies on a single siX-cylinder
chassis. The body types in addition
to the sedan and coupe are touring
car, two-passenger roadster and four
passenger speedster.
Locomobile-The LocomobiIe Com
pany of America, in its current prod
uct, still holds high place among the
luxury cars. There is, however, no
change in their new series four model
over their series two, which was made
in a large variety of body types, open
and closed. They include the four
passenger touring, six-pasenger tour
ing, seven-passenger touring, limou-
sine, landaulet, and inclosed drive
limousine on both the "3S" chassis
and as" chassis. which have, respec-
lively, a wheel base of 139 inches and
142 inches, with other important dit
ferences in mechanical construction.
Marmon-Thorough Standardization
of a remarkable design is found in
the Marmon "34." The car is big and
powerful, with a six-cyIinder engine
3&x5h and a wheelbase OF 136
inches. 1t is characterized by, an en-
Eine that is mostly aluminium, by the
cylinder block and the upper part OF
the crank case being a single casting
Of the light metal. with east-iron
liners for the pistons to work in The
frame is Of z shape Of great depth
and Is formed in a unit with the run
ming boards. The whole construction
is so worked out that a great deal OF
weight is saved without sacrificing
strength. A single chassis model is
built which carries a number of open
and inclosed bodies. The standard
closed coach designs comprise the
Limousine, town car, four-door sedan
and the landaulet types. In addition
to these standard types there are a
number of special limousines and
town bodies with bodies by such coach
artists as Rubay, of Cleveland; Der
ham, of Philadelphia, and others. Ir
their open models, too, they adhere tC
the highest standards of excellence in
design and finish.
