THE US. CHAIN TREAD

One of the few tires of which it may
be said that they deliver economy
year in and year out and tire after tire.
The U. S. Chain Tread gives
sufficient traction on all ordinary
road surfaces. 1t is probably the
handsomest, and by all odds the
most popular, of the whole U. S.
Fabric Tire line.

cylinders are divided into two blocks of
three cylinders, each with carbureter
In the centre Of each block and the two
working simultaneously. The big ad-
vantage in this arrangement is that q
better control OF the gasolene mixture
is obtained because It enters the cylin-
ders direct and does not have to be
carried a considerable distance to the
first and sixth cylinders as in the former
model. where only ono carbureter was
used in the centre Of single block Of
six cylinders.
In tests made on tho other side this
model readily did eighteen miles on q
gallon Of gasolene. As a matter Of fact,
the big purpose in the design and con-
struction Of this model was to develop to
a very high degree efficiency and econ
omy. BY effectively combining lightness
with strength and devising new methods
Of construction here and there the pur-
pose Of the builders has been fully real
lied. For example, much thought was
given to ways and means to make tho
rear end hold firmly to tho ground at
all speeds. So In this model tho rear
spring Is shackled at tho front end in
stead Of fixed to the frame, which per-
mits tho wheel to take up road shocks
without transmitting them to the frame.
In the matter of bodies, too. nothing
has been spared to make them tho best.
They will be specially designed by J.

SO definitely established its superiority
over any Rolls-Royce car built before
that, in its present form, it is considered
by all who have become acquainted with

mechanical perfection yet attained.
Its chief claim TO superiority does not
lie In any one quality. 1t Is the wonder
ful combination of all the essential quail
ties which enables the car to perform
equally well under varying conditions.
Whether the car is being driven in dense
traffic or at speed in the open country or
climbing the hills, In fact, under no mat
ter what conditions it is worked, Rolls

not only to improve the chassis but the
comfort and beauty Of the body work,

BIDDLE. .

You pay more for Biddle as COM
pared with other motor cars OF it's size,
not so much because the material Is bet

with the same care and skin as are de-
voted to the construction OF the two or
three big cars generally acknowledged
to be the worlds finest. True. the diff
ferept parts cost from two to five times
as much as the same parts In cars priced
only little lower, but the big thing, the
thing that makes the Biddle stand out,
Is the old fashioned honest craftsman
ship which goes into its making.
A sturdy. low hung chassis of 1875 inch
wheelbase, powerful. fast and safe,

DORRIS.

The sedan oody on the Doris chassis
built by the New Haven Carriage Com
pany is remarkable not only for it's con-
tour and beautiful finish but its strength
OF construction, designed to overcome all
rumbles. squeaks and rattles. Recesses
around the door and window openings
consist of aluminium castings to cover
all joints and openings which prevent
the joints from cracking and checking.
The soft roof construction Is remark
able. as 1t is panelled the same as a
drawing or ball room to eliminate rum
bles and beautify the interior.
Very soft and comfortable seat and
back cushions to fit the owner and
chauffeur's specifications are furnished.
Regulator for side windows as well as
the glass division are standard equip
ment The roof and chauffeur's COM
partment are covered with genuine hand
buffed leather instead Of a substitute
material
The New Haven Carriage Company
has been building high class coach work
since 1897 and has given it's whole
factory over to the construction of auto
mobile bodies from 1897 to 1921. I'm
doubtedly the first automobile that you
rode in was equipped with New Haven
