Elgin Six Scout and

Popular Features

Aside from the usual curiosity caused by
the. debut of few makes of entirely new
companies and number of radical model
departures by some of the older builders,
comment on comparative car values ex-
pressed at the Grand Central Palace will
tablished types of vehicles which have bee
Itablished types of vehicles which have been
gathering much impetus to their populari-
ty during the last two or three years.
These are the five-passenger all-seasons'
enclosed job, and the four passenger open
sport model.
Representative Of these and especially
noteworthy because of the distinction
which they hold as being high quality
brand" in the moderate price category
are the Elgin Six Sedan and Victory
Scout models.
One source Of distinction enjoyed by the
Elgin Sedan comes from the fact that 1t
expresses admirably very modern ver
sion of correct design. In view Of this
the Elgin has influenced the choice or
some OF the most discriminating buyers
who, in many instances, could we'll have

it is because of the sensible and commod-
ious arrangement and the substantial as
semblage of its carriage work which

out the garnut of medium priced car
buyers
An elite type Of open car, from the COM
bined standpoint of design, finish. capac-
ity and size. is exemplified in the four
passenger Elgin Six Victory Scout. AS a
majority of Scout owners have said, the
price of this fleet and distinctive vehicle
is hardly an honest indication of its value.

WORN OUT TIRE
MAY BE REPAIRED
SUCCESSFUL
While 1t Is Possible to Have a Worn
Out Shoe Repaired, Few Men
Can Do the Job Well,

can your worn or injured tire be sue
cessfuliy repaired? To this question the
answer experts OF the b. f. Goodrich
Rubber company's tire repair school is
Yes" But II you asked these same ex-
perts whether the average tire is always
efficiently and successfully repaired the
answer Is Immediately reversed.
Careless ard unscientific repairing. the
Goodrich company points out, is respon-
sible for the loss Of hundreds OF thousands
OF dollars 10 American car owners each
year. And to this should be added the loss
incurred by neglected repairs-tires thrown
away whose life could have been pro-
longed.
What is the most frequent mistake made
by repair men and how avoided? The
company's experts reply is:-Faiiure to
remove worn fabric from injured portion
OF tire and the practice of adding rather
than replacing layers of fabric.
The above illustration tells the story
Here are shown three views of a four
inch, five-ply fabric tire, which was re-
paired by adding eight plies of new fabric
to the tires five plies Of worn fabric
After running a few hundred miles the
tire blew out. The motorist went to re-
pair man, who said:-"Why. the blowout
occurred fifteen inches from the repaired
part The tire originally was defective"
The car owner then laid the blame with
the manufacturer. The truth Is the repair
and not the tire was at fault. This Is what
actually took place. The eight plies or ex-
ira fabric was found. upon examination
to extend to the point Of the blowout. In
a "hinge" was formed at the
merging point of the five and fifteen ply
sections. The hinge constantly worked
back and forth. thereby overworking and
the fabric. A blowout resulted.
The eight added plies had formed a stiff,
section that refused to work in
harmony with the rest Of the tire.
The lower picture shows a tire stripped
back in the approved factory method OF
repair. All except enough fabric for a
foundation has been removed. The fabric
is removed in steps. thereby avoiding a
sharp break between the old and new
fabric. New fabric replaces and is not
o dded to the old worthless fabric. Then

BriScOe Line
for 1920 Includes
-Four Models

The feature OF the Briscoe exhibit is
the 1920 sedan. which has been awaited
with a great deal of interest. owing to the
fact that it was expected to include many
features heretofore considered exclusive
to the higher priced cars.
The car itself fully lives up to its ad-
vance notices. The body, OF ma ssive
straight line design. is finished in special
shade. which has been christened Briscoe
True Blue. 1t is at once distinctive and
restful to the eye.
The interior is upholstered in very at
tractive mohair velvet, with the excep-
ton OF the drivers seat, which Is finished
In leather tex to conserve wear. An ex-
ceptional amount of room per passenger is
provided, and there are four doors. each
fitted with lever operated disappearing
window An apparently successful attempt
has been made to carry out the en-
closed car builders ideal-the perfect car
for all seasons and all weathers
The touring car carries out the same
body lines as the sedan. An added feature
III cars OF this type is four weather proof
curtains opening with the doors. Another
feature is the attractive instrument board.
which contains, in addition to the usual
switches for ignition and for operating the
lights, a pressure oil gauge, a gasolene
gauge and an ammeter. No-glare head
light lenses are regular equipment on all
models.
There is no radical departure mechani-
caIly in the 1920 car. The efficient Briscoe
unit power plant motor is used, with four
point flexible suspension, and there Is a
three bearing, scientifically counterbal-
anced crankshaft of unusually heavy de-
sign, thus providing unusual pickup and
getaway. The drive is of the genuine
Hotchkiss type through the rear springs.
Further advances have been made in
the settled Briscoe policy of eliminating g
weight wherever II Is possible to do SO
without reducing strength. This has been
applied especially TO the reduction of
weight below the springs, where it bears
most heavily on tires and working parts.
The frame-seven inches high-gives an
impression OF exceptional strength.

SATURAT|ON
POINT STILL IN
DIM DISTANCE
e. w. Hurd, General Sales Manager
of Premier Company, Explains
Why 1t Is Not Near.

Judging from the number OF fine cars
sold in 1919 and the outlook for 1920 re-
Elected In the quantities contracted for by
distributors, the point of saturation in the
automobile field is some years distant,
said T.. w Hurd. general sales manager
OF the Premier Motor Corporation.
Let us aralyze the situation. During
1916, 1917 and 1918. the lean years in motor
car production, the number of potential
buyers did not decrease when compare1
with former years. On the contrary, the
number was greatly increased, because
of the unusual amount of money in circu
1aGon due to highly paid labor, large crops
at high prices and the many businesses
converted to war purposes that produced
large returns TO their owners. The pro-
duction in 1917 and 1918 was largely alb
sorbed by the government and the few cars
left had to spread very thinly over a de-
mand that exceeded the supply at least
eight TO one in 1917 and twelve TO one in
1915
Each year a certain number Of used
and rebuilt cars result from one of two
causes. either the owner buys another
class or feels his old car has outlived its
usefulness so far as he is concerned. In
normal years these cars have a fixed re-
sale value. there being schedule on
which the average dee Ter will market this
used product. However. in 1917 and 1918
the price of cars that had seen two, three
and even five years service sold at prices
better than obtained for them when new.
These cars, together with the cumulative
wear Oh all models prior to 1917. that
would naturally have been scrapped, had
there been normal output. continued in
USE This very wear based on six million
cars now In use means that not less than
twelve per cent. or 10000. must be pur-
chased each year to replace those used
TO the point OF destruction. For two
years of lean production we have re-
placement necessity OF 100000 cars worn
out. and another 720Coo worn out in 1916
and not replaced, or a total of 200, 900
cars OF which less than thirty per cent
were purchased In 1919.
1--WE have in America about fifteen
million prospective automobile buyers.
with only one-third of the number sold.
This leaves ten million potential owners.
Assuming that ten per cent will buy each
year, then the 1920 demand in connection
with the renewal market will be con-
servatively 2.540O0o cars. This does not
contemplate the new buyers created each
year from the growing population or those
who purchase more than one car.
Considered from the angle of positive
demand, the stability of our national
wealth, the earning power of our people,
I cannot see. despite the largely increased
production predicted for 1920, any possi-
bility for saturation either in that year or
for ten years to come"

February is THE Leap Year month
of Leap Year.
Foo February is the month that

which there could be no Leap Year.
And February brings st. Valentines
Day, day more productive OF mar
riages than any other day, a day when
the youthful heart takes courage.
when eyes talk. and timidity vanishes.
The notion that certain times o;

riages than others, had its origin in
the days of ancient Rome. June and
February were the two luckiest hy-
meneal months.

| An old astrological almanac gives
the following as lucky days on which
to be married: February 1, 8, 10. 10, 20
and 20. The other days in the month,
intimates the same almanac, are good
proposing days.
Cielo suggests some excellent reci-
pes for those maidens who would &C
quire husbands:
"slices of wedding cake passed
through the brides wedding ring and
eaten by the bridesmaids will bring a
husband within year.
"a piece of wedding cake should
be put under the pillow of maiden

marry him within a year.
Crumbs of wedding cake, il care

It was only desultoryi attempts at
