JORDAN

The Jordan line this year consists
Of six models a single standardized
chassis carrying the various body types.
The show cars include the seven-pas-
senger suburban. four-passenger sport
marine, brou CHAM and town sedan. The
Jordan chassis Is unchanged except for
minor details here and there in fact, 1t
has remained virtually unchanged since
1t was first brought out, the designers
having made strong point of producing
a car so good that nothing short of
radical undevelopments would make
changes necessary other than In minor
matters. The latest body is the town
sedan, which is of the four-door type
with straight lines and a very large
area OF glass. affordng adequate vision
in all directions. All bodies are OF
aluminium. Two Jordan features stand
out pre-eminently. The finish Is op-
tional, choice being given of a wide
range of colors to suit individual tastes,
and the equipment list Is an uncom-
monty complete one. They are exhibiting
a town sedan. q sport marine. brougham
and seven-passenger suburban.

KING

The latest King Eight models displayed
reflect the high standards and the years
Of persistent and consistent effort and
experience behind them.
The King light. one of the pioneers
Of the multi-cylinder car field has al
ways been a big factor in the high
grade car market and is holding TO that
standard again this year.
The King Motorcar Company has
believed in the eight-cylinder principle
and has devoted years of study to a
car built on this design.
1t takes time, money, experience and
persistence to develop any first class
mechanical device, especially an auto
mobile. and the King Eight today is the
embodiment of all of these. In addition
to perfecting the eight-cylinder principle
and other high grade mechanical fea
lures, the manufacturers have again
gone forward in the matter of body de-
signs, of which they produce this year
most attractive assortment in both open
and closed types. Their exhibit consists
of one foursome, one touring car and
one armored car. which is loaned by the
United States marine corps.

standardized mechanical features have
been continued. Convenience has been
cons idered, along with efficiency. in the
new and better bodies that have been
designed, and lighter, and stronger ma
terials are used. In their 1919 models
they have reached their highest state of
development Enough models have been

chassis construction remains the same.
Body design and retinements are as
follows: The sedan type for the present
season is even better looking and more
convenient than ever. The development
of the slanting "V'' windshield is an
other element which enters into the
broadening of the visiCn.
The limousine has changes. In the

windshield adds a touch of rakishness
which goes very well with the design.
The rear curtain is now carried around
the seat back as far as the rear bow.
The brougham is much like the sedan,
except ii is made for four people; design
being right in line to fill well-defned
demand. The four-passenger roadster
is a sociable roadster. but not a chummy.
Doors have been moved back two inches.

HOLMES

The Holmes air-cooled car is shown
in II seven-passenger touring car and a
fivespassenger four-door sedan, with the
new eightcen-valve motor. The changes
in this model are confined exclusively to
the mechanical improvements due to the
experimental work performed by Mr.
Holmes in connection with the manufac-
ture Of air-cooler airplane engines for
the United States Government In this
work he examined a number of air
cooled motors that were developed by
English engineers and have been used TO
a large extent on the western front. The
knowledge acquired by him has been
readily adapted to the automobile en-
gine. The new series Holmes car which
is displayed shows improvements which
have been wrouhgt in automobile con-
structon as a result of the world war.

finements would improve the opera

policy of tho Hupp Motor Car Corpora
tion. The upholstery in the open models
is leather. The color Is the standard
Hupmoblle midnight blue, with chassis,
tenders, hood and wheels In black. The

practice which they have followed for
years with eminent satisfaction.

MISSING GIRL
RETURNS HOME
AS SEARCH IS ON
LEFT HERE SATURDAY MORNING
WITH OTHER GIRLS TO WORK
IN GRAND RAPIDS

Grand Rapids police officials were
asked Saturday night to locate Miss
Gladys Jacott, pretty 16 year old
girl whose home was at Greenville
whose parents live there and had not
seen the girl since morning when she
left home with the intention of going
to Grand Rapids. Whether the girl
told her parents that she was going
to Grand Rapids or not is not known
but she was suspected of having gone
there and for that reason the family
asked the aid of the police in that
city in looking her-up. N
The Grand Rapids morning papers
carried rather thrilling tale of what
might have happened to the girl, sug-
gestions Of foul play and kidnapping
stunts were limited at and the same
implied in notices in regard to the
girls disappearance in the evening
papers. The Grand Rapids police re-
ported Monday night that they were
still unable to find any trace of the
missing girl.
Miss Jacott has been employed in
the silk mills here until Friday noon
when she in company with three
other girls, Miss Hattie Bowen, Ella
Gould and Ruth Holland, quit their
positions and went to Greenville.
where they spent the night. Early
Saturday morning, they returned here
and they were passengers on the
morning train for Grand Rapids,
where they said that they had po-
sitions and where they were going
to remain and work.
We wired this information to
Greenville parties and were told the
missing girl had just returned home
entirely unaware that near state
wide search for her was being made.
She is now at the home Of her par
ents in Greenville.
