JORDAN CAR FOUNDED
ON PERMANENT IDEAS

! The Jordan Motor Car Company, &C
cording to its president, Edward 5. Jor
dan, was founded upon an idea. That idea
grew and flourished and has won its right
TO a permanent place IN the Jordan
scheme of things.
In the first place, the Jordan organiza
ton Is built up of a group of young and
able men; men who have proved their
worth and who have learned through ex-
perience the selling value of quality IN q
motor car. The first car sold and the last
car built were Inspected and tested just as
carefully as the first model.
II was a part OF the Jordan idea to
build a chassis of finished mechanical
excellence, provided with a choice of dis
tinctive and comfortable custom style
bodies 10 suit the taste of the buyer.
Hence the Jordan chassis Is built Of
standard units OF good reputation and I'M
questioned superiority, purchased IN an
intelligent way from only reliable con-
Germs By adopting standard units they
have recognized the best ideas OF others,
thus saving the time and expense OF work
ing out problems Others have solved.
II is also an important part Of the
Jordan idea TO finish a completely
equipped car.
An these things have spelled success to
the Jordan idea, and Will he continued.

AUTO INSURANCE

suits the individual case.
IL il well recognized that much of every
mans misfortune comes from causes
bcvond his own control A man instinct

power, such rs keeping his furnace hire from
starting an outside blaze, and using an
electric scarchlight when Investigating

has TO delegate these duties TO others and
as these others are his agents, he has to he
responsible for their acts, whether they be

tree or rock by the roadside or break
spring in roadway rut, he is liable to be
the target for some runaway OF otherwise
misguided machine that bumps HIM IN
traffic or at the curb.
And then there is the ever present
spectre of theft looming up when he is at
home or abroad, against which so many of
the mechanical devices are only futile pre-
cautions
The dealers fully realize the advantages
of this form of protection by policy, so
that many purchasers on deferred pay

sometimes without knowing it, until their
payments are completed.

MARMON INNOVATIONS.

Exhibited for the first time in the
Grand Central Palace Show, the new
series Marnon - has high efficiency
motor that secnls ar pronounced u novelty
as was the first Marmon "a, shown foar
years ago, with its radical departure from
conventional design. The lightweight fea-
lures, deep thin section frame, extensive
employment Of alloy steel, and the Use Of
aluminium in motor body, Tenders and
gcarset and differential housings are con
tnued. The body lines Of the open cars,
though modified and ernbellished here
I'D there, still retain the vigorous char
acteris tics that have given them in
dlviiuality.
The high efficiency motor IL n trifie
shorter than previous models, but the six
cylinders have the same bore and stroke,
and the same principles Of design are
found throughout the power plant. The
manufacturing of the engine, however. has
lpen changed to the new standards Of pre-
cision that were learned by the company in
producing aviation engines for the govern
ment. The dclicacy Of the machine work
and the close accuracy and precision Of this
power plant is suggested by the splendid
external finish Of the motor.
A -four passenger touring car bas been
added 10 the line Of open cars offered by
the Nordyke Il Marmon Company. This
touring car follows the general lines Of the
regular seven-n passenger touring car. IL
has four doors, but the tonneau is some
what shorter and the rear scat narrower
than i'm the seven.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT
ON "COIE" LINE

A part Of the standard equipment of the
Cole Aero-Eight that contributes much
10 the pleasure OF motoring Is the motor
driven tire pump This pump, equipped
with long air hose and gauge IS furnished
on all models and is located under the
drivers seat on the left hand side, IL
operated by a small lever also found
under the front seat. the pump IS always
connected for instant Use and all that Is
necessary 10 initiate q tire IS to connect
the air hose 20 the tire valve, start the
motor and pull the lever.
To initiate a tire, whether on the road
or in the garage, the motorIst Is called on
for practically no effort. 4 33x5 inch tire,
with which the Aero-Eight Is equipped,
may be inflated in less than FIVE minutes
with the motor doing the work. The con-
struction Of the pump is such that IT
takes UP very little space and will give
indefinite service.
Although the original tire equipment Of
the Aero Eight viii give u wards Of
$4,000 miles, it sometimes becomes
necessary To place some air in tire and Tor
this reason the motor driven tire pump

"a prominent doctor has declared that
the increasing number of motor trucks and
the decreasing number of horses on the
streets today, not only makes city so
per cent cleaner, but is n big aid to the
public health, says a kissel man.
''Immagine what the big thoroughfares

motor trucks were removed and the same
number of horse drawn vehicles replaced
them. Imagine the dirt, dust and the con-
fusion, loss OF time, not TO say limited

 But the modern woman's figure, and the way she carries herself. has some thing to do with the way clothes ana hats look the woman declared, "and perhaps is responsible for what you call funny looking styles.

To Relieve Catarrh,
 Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness, who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises will be glad to know that this distressing affliction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medicine that in many instances has ef- fected complete relief after other treat ments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing re- stored to such extent that the tick of watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises catarrhal deafness. cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf ness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made follows:
 Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Parmint Double Strength). Take this home and add to it k pint of hot water and little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times day.
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear. and the results it gives nearly always quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrh in any form. or distressing rumbling. hssing sounds in their ears, should give this re- cipe a trial.--Ady. f
