Gloomy Folks Find
Fears Without Basis

j. R. Findlater, vice president of the
Briscoe Motor Corporation, was in
town few days ago and said: 1.-THE
mark-timers, the wait-awhiles and all
the other doubtful gloomy, pessi-
mistic individuals who have been won
dering what was going to happen in
the passenger car business have been
answered..
The records Of the various shows,
national, As we'll as local, are in and
they show the most wonderful early
spring business that the industry has
known. Actual sales for early delivery
have been two or three times as great
as ever before, and every salesman has
acquired list of real prospects that
make certain an enormous volume bf
business during the months to come,
Another thing already apparent
is that the Briscoc is rapidly
assuming its rightful place in the
light car field. The shows this
year have been real selling shows
more than ever before, so that
it was easily possible for an observer
to watch. the trend of popular demand
and see how the public felt about the
various competitive cars in each price
class. From every city the report has
been the same that the Briscoc got
its share Of the business, and that the
bankroll Of the Briscoe dealer this
year is going to be large, round and
pleasant to contemplate"

Essex Car Is New
In Name Only.
Says Houpt
Automobile Which Made
First Appearance at Re-
cent Show Was Tested Oh
Roads Around Detroit

Judging from the comments of oui
customers" says Harry S. Houpt
president Of the Hudson Motor Car
Company, of New York, "about the only
criticism they hear of the Essex from
statesmen of other cars is that the
Essex is a new car.
Although it is true that it was dis
played at the recent automobile show
for the first time, the car is new in
name only, as it has been undergoing
tests in the hands of it's builders for
the last two years.
when the Essex first appeared like
a gray ghost on the roads around De-
troit' it earned for itself the title
of the mystery car because even in
that motor-wise city no one could
recognize. it's make. Clad in a mud
stained coat of factory gray, with its
bonnet tightly sealed and with no
name plate to reveal it's identity, for
months it haunted the paths most used
by factory testers. No challenge was
ever refused no matter how great the
odds, and many an amateur sportsman
or budding factory speed demon low
cred colors to that mystery car
THE Essex was not built for speed
alone, however, as comfort, reliability
and economy in upkcep were first CON
siderations. 1t was built to fill the
need for car of quality which should
still be light in weight and moderate
in price. The Essex at present is be-
ing built at the Hudson Super-Six fac
tory and was designed by the same en-
gineers who turned out the Super

Open Stake Body Now
Adapted to Ice Haulage
Maxwell Brings Out Something
New in the Way of Truck
for This Line of Work

"In addition to the many uses our
stock body worm trucks have been put
to-" says Harry J. De Bear, manager
of the New York Branch of the Max
we'll Motor Sales Corporation, at 1903
Broadway, "now comes the success
full conversion of our regular stake
gate body to the needs of the ice
carting merchants. On to a wide
platform with high stakes we have
built a strong yet lightweight canopy
supported by four uprights, attached
to the body without utilizing any of
the loading space. The job is COM
piete with waterproofed top and four
roll curtains of heavy canvas, but re-
tains the feature of speedy removable
ity for other purposes, although the
clearance allowed is sufficient with
this arrangement for practically any
desired work.
I'VE have now proved TO our salts
faction that our departure from the
customary closed in body for ice haul
ing is just as practical and is much
more economical. We have eliminated
the unnecessary weight of the heavy,
cumbersome body, and yet have not
detracted one mite from the neces-
sary strength Of the body"

Stowe Details the
Mitchell Betierments

"Although the new Mitchell Victory
Six contains more than 100 improve
ments and is one of the few new cars
on the market this year, it is selling
at pre-war price" says George
Stowe, president of the Mitchell Motor
Car Company of New York.
II believe it is the greatest bargain
on Automobile Row to-day, and all we
ask of prospective buyers is that they
make a careful examination of other
cars before inspecting the new Mitchell
1.-TWO years have spent in perfectng
this model. Many new specialists were
employed TO aid. During most of that
time the Mitchell factory devoted itself
to war work. SO the designers of this

More Dodge Brothers
Cars in City Business

y The speeding up of business in all
sections Of the country has been big
stimulus to the popularity Of Dodge
Brothers business car, according to tie
Colt Stratton Company, dealers here
in New York. During the war business
had the motor delivery habit more
firmly 4 implanted than ever, and the
service given by Dodge Brothers bust
ness car in all kinds of haulagc passed
all former bounds of demand.
In the First place the car meets the
attitude of the Northumberland motor
delivery. He wants good looks, de-
pendable, complete service~at fixed
low cost that can be carefully approx
mated for the year sThe- finish. of
the cars and equipment is of the
same quality as that which goes into
the passenger car. Both contain the
same electric lighting and starting
system. -
The simplicity of the cars and sd.
justment Of the Dodge Brothers Ell.
CINE, and the known freedom from re-
placements over a long period are an
attractive factor not only in the point
Of continuous service but also in the
budget of shop cost. The wheelbase
with its narrow turning radius enables
the driver to back in or out of tight
places, to handle the car with greater
ease in choked traffic and turn con-
veniently in narrow streets and abrupt
corners. The saving of time and the
item of speedwith- safety is most
important feature in the delivery OF
merchandise.
This car is particularly in favor
with florists, grocers, dairymen, bak.

Ford Plant on Jersey
Meadows Turns Out Cars
BY BECK

Out of the waste of meadows at
Kearny, N. j., on the Passaic River
where it enters Newark Bay, Henry
Ford, in the last three years, has
wrested from the deep an immense
tract of land. Two important opera
tions took place at the same tmr-the
Passaic River along the site was
dredged and deepened to a depth of
twenty feet and the material
was used to fill in the acreage, which
Is now safe from inundation.
On this site most ambitious scheme
in plant erection, even by the Ford
Motor Company, is fast nearing COM
pletion. 1t is only a matter of three
months since CASTOR Plaintiff, director
of Ford affairs in the East, set plans
in motion, and already scores Of acres
are built upon. 800 men are at work
and the production of Ford cars is now
going ahead at the rate of IT'S a day
One Of the great buildings, which is
now used for main assembly, is 900
feet long. Situated alongside the
docks, it will eventually be devoted ex-
clusively to the handling of export
business. There are 1900 feet of bulk
head completed. Ford lighters convey
the boxed machines TO vessels at Com
munipaw.
There are three buildings devoted to
body assembly, finishing and enamel
ling, and running, like the others, on
a twenty-four hour basis, which takes in
three shifts Of eight hours each. The
temporary power plant now in use will
be replaced in a few weeks by a per-
manent structure, giving ample power
for all the projected buildings.
The site upon which the Ford Motor
Company has launched this great man
ufacturing enterprise takes in 1913
acres. Approximately in the centre
and at right angles to the big plant
now under full Roadway en- the Pas
sale River, still greater building is
in course Of construction. When fin
ished it will be 900 feet long, $50 feet
wide and four stories in height. This
will mean the employment of thou
sands of more mex and correspond
ing increase in the, production of the
popular car. Eventually 800 Ford cars
a. day will be turned out of the Kcar-
ny plant.
Mr.. Plaintiff expects that as soon as
all plants are finished, manufacturing
of the various units will take place on
a scale sufficiently large to take care
of both the domestic trade in this ter
rltory and the growing export demand.
Until then most OF the essentials will
come from the w est. IS present 100

sary to produce Ford cars arc arriving
