NEW CLEVELAND SIX
MAKES FINE RECORD
Makes Trip From Cleveland
to Fresno, Cal, in Nine
Days.

E. R. Hunnewell. the local manager
for the Cleveland Six. received word
yesterday that L. S. Cobb of Fresno.
Cal, has just completed a drive of 3,259
miles in a Cleveland from the factory
in Cleveland, Ohio. to his salesrooms in
Fresno, and on this trip drove a large
part of the way over desert sand. tortu-
Gus mountain trails and every condition
of highway.
On this trip Cobb also made what
he declares to be a stock car record be-
tween Chicago and Fresno. his time for
the run being nine days.
Prior to this trip the Cleveland Six
had not been driven any. except the
usual distance required in final factory
testing. The car made a remarkable
economy showing on fuel and oil con-
sumption and arrived in Fresno as fresh
as when it left the Cleveland factory

HE MAKES CAR BUYING EASIER
Well Known Automobile Man Has
Interesting Plan.

An extraordinary plan, which enables
any reputable New Yorker to purchase
an automobile and pay in cash but
small portion of its cost, has been
evolved by Harry NJ. Lasker of Column
bus Circle, who is we'll known in the
automobile industry.
The purchaser may pay as little as
33 1-3 per cent. cash and Mr.. Lasker
will furnish the balance required to pay
the dealer cash in full
The motor car dealer thereby receives
full cash and no favors need be asked
of him. If the purchaser has a used
car to trade in he is sure therefore to
receive the highest allowance from the
dealer. and such allowance is computed,
by Mr.. Lasier as part of the purchasers
cash payment.
The cash advance for the account OF
the purchaser is repaid in as many as
ten monthly instruments. so that he is
now enabled to pay for his automobile
out OF his monthly incomei and in such
small amounts that 1t will prove Of no
inconvenience as compared to paying the
ertire cost at one time
Mr.. Lasker furnishes to the purchaser
fire and theft insurance and collision, II
desired. His charge varies according to
the amount he advances and the number
Of months over which the accommoda-
ton runs. In each instance the charge
Is equal 10 the published rates for the
insurance plus interest at the rate of
per cent per annum plus approximately
per cent. additional.
Therefore the average business man
will now find that it Is less costly to
him to pay part cash rather than all
cash for his motor car, for he can earn
much more than 2 per cent. above bank
ing interest by using the money in his
own business, and would therefore ac-
tuallv entail loss by taking the money
out of his business to pay cash in full
for his motor car.

INCREASE OUTPUT
OF AMERICAN SKIES
New Factory Building at Plain
field and Assembling Plant
Down South.

An unusual demand for American Bal
anoed Six automobiles. the product Of
the American Motors Corporation. has
necessitated an expansion of its manu-
featuring facilities in Plainfeld. N. j..
and of its distributing facilities in the
South. Ground was broken last week In
Plainf1eld for new factory building
that will contain 22,so0 square feet of
floor space, practically doubling the
plant capacity. This building is ex-
pected to be completed in sixty days.
Following the establishment Of very
close connection with large Southern
financial interests, which are represented
on the corporations board of directors
by c. B. Penney Of Greensboro. N. c.,
the distribution of American skies
throughout the South has increased so
materially that something must be done
to handle the situation down there from
central distributing point. 1t Is re-
ported that plans are completed for the
establishment of a separate assembling
plant In that territory to supply cars
for that territory alone.
Being what may be called "a New York
product" because of the location of its
factory in a New York suburb, the Amer

events en- route.
The log of Cobb's trip would make in
teresting data for those who are now
doing their utmost to bring about MAJ
tionalized, improved highway system.
For days the Cleveland struggled
through mud, deep sand and over noun
tain trails.
After his speedometer recorded S45
miles at Clinton. Ia. Cobb wired the
factory: "Gasolene average sixteen and
a half miles per gallon road conditions
unusually bad; car has remarkable
power on high; riding cannot be sur
passed"
Again Cobb wired from salt Lake
City. his chief complaint being that the
roads were nearly impossible. He also
stated that he was maintaining his aver
age OF sixteen and a half miles per gal
lon of gasolene over the extremely bad
roads encountered. and added: "Cleve-
land Six has withstood all this abuse
without once wavering."
Leaving Salt Lake City Cobb started

ert and mountains between Salt Lake,

the prospect of a boiling radiator and
suffers himself from the relentless sun
and the white heat of the desert.
Scarcely has the car passed the terrors
OF the desert near the Nevada line than
he begins to climb over or drive around
mountain range after mountain range,

heartening frequency until Carson City,

reached.
However, Cobb detailed little of these
conditions in his dispatches. Instead, at
the end OF his trip he wired this rather
prosaic report to Sid Black at the Cleve-
Land factory:
from Chicago. AS far as we know is
best stock car record. Roads all but i'm
passable. Covered 3,259 miles. Car in
excellent condition"
Cobb's trip proved to the satisfaction
OF the factory and its dealer organiza-
ton that the makers of the Cleveland
Six have built into the car the elements
that make for efficiency and durability
OF the highest order. 1t is the first trip
of its kind ever made in a Cleveland,
and the car survived the test without
mechanical difficulty of any sort and as
we'll showed economy in operation.
