RICKENBACKER HAS
STOPPED VIBRATION

Nowadays, a person buying a car
expects to get something more than
mere vehicle says J. j. Hunt, presi-
dent OF the Hunt Motor Car Company,
metropolitan distributors for the Rick
enbackef car. "He or she wants
car that will give not only recreation
and diversion, but one which viii be
time saving and economical as well.
In short, the modern car must now
meet modern conditions. The makers
of the Rickenbacker realized what the
public wanted-a 'stay-put' car that did
not develop rattle Americana one
which could be driven without physical
effort by the average man or woman.
Vibration has been the cause OF many
Jared nerves and is one of the most
unpleasant things to contend with In
a car. Sooner or later the vibrat ting
machine will cause parts to loosen and
then squeaks and rattles become un-
bearable. There is no period of vibra-
ton in the Rickenbacker because OF
it's mechanical construction. Capt. IL.
". Rjckenbacker has given considerable
attention to this particular point in the
manufacture of his car, and the double
flywheel one of the unusual features
of design in the 1922 cars. is the re-
suit.
THE Rickenbacker motor car can be
turned over at the speed of a slow
walk. then speeded up by slow or fast
degrees mile after mile up to better
than go miles per hour. and there will
be no trace of vibration"

zone of the most perplexing problems
confronting the automobile manufac-
turer is that of suitable combination
of beauty in appearance with mechan-
zeal goodness says Henry j. DeBear
president and general manager of the
Maxwell Chalmers Distributing Cor
Doration. "And this is especially true
in the light car class.
AN unusually beautiful car-especal-

though it may deliver remarkably fine

Probably the most impressive auto

OF the York Motor Corporation-New
York home of the Lincoln-at PIT West
Fifty-seventh street. Here one finds
building of unusual design. which was
the private riding ring of Frank j.
Gould before society became more in
terested in motors than in horses. De-
signed by one of the city's best archi-
tects and constructed of imported stone
and brick. this building was for years
a place where the citys most fashion
able lovers of saddle horses gathered
as the guests of Mr.. Gould
This beautiful building readily lent
itself to the few changes necessary to
transform it into a remarkable show
place for the display of high grade auto
mobiles. The main floor is 50x1OO feet
and it is SIS feet from the floor to the
highest point in the ceiling. Here the
complete line of Lincoln cars may be
shown without the slightest suggestion
of crowding. 1t is dignified setting for
the beautiful cars shown there.

When he became metropolitan distrib-
utor for the Lincoln in the spring OF
1920 he quickly got possession of this
unique made-to-order show place and
Just as quickly had it suitably prepared
for occupancy. 1t instantly attracted
the attention of the well to do who had
pleasant memories of the place when
Mr.. Gould owned it. Mr.. Budlong, In
one stroke. introduced the new Lincoln
successfully by associating it with
something that specially interested the
people who were to become his Gus

Those who knew Mr.. Budlong and G.
l.. Frederick, vice-president of the cor
poration, and long time associate of
Mr.. Budlong, expected that the Lincoln
would be properly presented to New
Workers and ably sold and serviced.
They have not been disappointed. These
men undertook the task when conditions
were not favorable for such big
undertaking. But their faith in the pro-
duct and the future of business and
their natural ability carried them ahead
at a great rate, and the momentum
gained in this way also carried them
successfully through the trying period

was later removed, made it seem almost

STEINMETZ ELECTRIC
SHOWS AMAZING POWER

The new Steinmetz electric truck gave
a very convincing demonstration of it's
power last week by making sensa-
tional climb of the famous Miller ave-
nue. hill in Brooklyn through deep snow.
1t not only made the climb in seven
minutes, but stopped midway in the as
cent and then resumed its trip without
any trouble.
This truck was designed and perfected
by DIR. Steinmetz, the internationally
known electrical wizard. He was ably
assisted by Donald c., Stoppenbach, su-
pervising electrical engineer and for

NASH OFFICER ENTHUSES
OVER BETTER BUSINESS

'The position Nash occupies in the
automobile industry is decidedly
healthy" says c. 3. Voorhis. vice-presi-
dent and general sales manager of the
Nash Motors Company. THE over
whelming Endorsement of the Nash prod-
uct at the Chicago and New York
shows. as well as at other shows held
so far this season throughout the couu-
try, is the strongest possible testimonial
to the value of Nash cars.
"The Nash Motors Company went Into
the shows this year with a new line of
cars at prices reduced to rock bottom.
Thus, while we are deeply appreciatiyc
of the public response. l cannot say we
are greatly surprised at the large num-
Der OF show orders taken. The spring
selling season is just at hand. and Nash
dealers in most sections of the country
are ordering cars for early delivery, and
report they are making plans for an un-

Italian Boy, Newly
Arrived in Richmond,
Shoes Love of Flag

Whitewater has a new playmate!
He is little Nicholas Basclli, who
came from Naples, Italy a couple
weeks ago with his father. He is
just nine years old and as yet he
can not speak very much English,
but he has learned to count up to
nine. He still dresses in the Nea-
politician garb, which is composed
of very tight trousers, full blouse,
and a little cap, somewhat like
scull caps At first, Nicholas was
afraid to come, over to the play
grounds, for he was frightened By
the different sorts of playground
equipment. However, he soon grew
less fearful and now isn't at all
afraid. The other boys are trying
to teach him how to play baseball,
and Nicholas just couldn't for the
sake of his life" understand what
an out was.
Nicholas likes America very
much. Before he came here, he
used to go to school in Naples, and
was in the third grade. One morn
ing, when Miss Crabble was raising
the flag, and the children took off
their hats, little Nicholas went up
to the flag and kissed it to prove
his loyalty to it as his father had
taught him. Lucy Nufrio who is 10
years old ac1ed as interpreter for
Nicholas, when Junior reporter
interviewed him.

The Liberty Bell which thous-

western states requested sent to
the Pageant of Progress which is
to begin in Chicago on July 20,
is not to make the trip on account
of the refusal which the Council
of Philadelphia which is in charge
of the famous bell, felt it had to
make at this time. This decision
will be disappointment to many

through which the bell was to
have made its journey but they will

Payton Interested
Fifth Bible Grade

The fifth grade of the Bible
school of which Miss Stafford
was teacher, studied the life
Of John Gibson Payton, one of the
early missionaries to the South
Pacific Isles. The students
found II so very interesting that
some of them even wanted to stay
in from recess to hear more about
him.
Payton was really the one who
introduced missionary work into
the isle of Tanna When he went
there he was handicapped on ey-
cry side as he had 10 build his
own house and even tools with
which he made 1t, though now the
missionaries have their houses
ready for them when they arrive.
Besides inhabitants of Tanna
were all canibals, and often he
would see a native devour one Of
his own race in front of his own
door. Finally things got to be so
bad that Payton had to escape
from the island secretely, other
WlSC lllo lllC WOulu nave UtCll lOSl.
From Tanna, Payton went 10
Australia where he finally secured
a mission ship, which took food
and clothing to people on Different
islands. After during this. he went
to Aniwa where he spent the re-
mainder of his life. For a little
while, he had some trouble with
the natives, as they became very
much prejudiced against the white
man. This was due to the fact
that French traders and seamen
would often come TO the islands
and treat the natives cruelty. Once,
they brought a whole shipIoad OF
people who had the measles and
deposited them on thE island, thus
exposing the people to the disease.
The natives, who thought that the
"doings of white men" were the
same, became more bitter against
Payton than ever, but he showed
them difference by his kindness
to them.
Civilized people considered the
people of these islands as beasts
because beasts were distinguished
from men as having no spiritual
guidance at all, but Payton proved
that they did have although it had
been kept a secret. The natives
really worshipped idols, but they
had done it secretly as sometime
in their history they had been
laughed at by white people
1t is very interesting to know
that now Tanna is quite civilized
and Payton's efforts brought re-
suits.
