Motor Car Company realized that in
placing sales and distribution OF cars
outside of the United States and Canada
in the hands of the New York company
they would have the benefit of this ex-
tensive knowledge and experience in for
eign business, which should rapidly make
II possible for the Stephens company to
secure tho volume of business abroad
which they are justified in expecting.
AS to the metropolitan district 1t is the
aim Of Mr.. Cole 10 give the best service
possible to all Stephens Six owners.
With this in mind he has opened large
service station at 123 West Sixty-fourth
street, where full and complete line
OF parts will be on hand at all times.
This department will be In charge OF
Roderick Luttgen. we'll known in the
auto trade and formerly with the Cadil-
lac company. Agencies have already
been established. in Brooklyn, Mount
Vernon. Hartford. New Haven. New Ro-
chels and on the Grand Concourse, New
York Dealer connections will be estab-
l;shed In all cities in the outlying terri
tory. w. G.. Cole will be in charge OF
sales. He was formerly connected with
the A. G.. Kaufman Motor Company as
sales manager.
During the past year there have been
many downward price revisions OF the
Stephens Six car TO total of SSO5 less
than listed about one year ago. The
present list price of the touring car Is
$1.595 T. o. b. Freeport. Ill. As the
last price reduction was effective May
s the Stephens company has anticipated
the recent reduction applied by many
manufacturers. There has been no
change in the quality of the Stephens
car due IN fheSe rpvigiOns

has been brought out as an addition to
their line. 1t is identical with all other
stephens models, but will carry factory

ALL METAL SPRING
COVER PERFECTED

For many years, automotivc engineers
have admitted the necessity OF better
protection and fabrication of all motor
car springs. Being constantly *
posed to dust, grit and water IN sum-
mer. and slush and ice In winter. springs
ordinarily are the most abused part
OF an automobile
How TO avoid the rust and grit that
cause frozen" leaves. with resultant
breakage--kecp the springs flexing as
they are intended to do---has bothered
car owners. designers. and builders for
years.
1t remained for men who have made
chassis fabrication their exclusive study
to develop type OF spring cover tnat
would not only protect tho springs. but
would provide a means OF keeping the
leaves fabricated without the big cx-
pense of dismantling leaves, shaczles
and clips. Their latest product Is the
Alemite Lubricating Spring COY er.
which completes the Alemite High Pres
sure Lubricating System now standard
equipment on 95es of all the different
makes of passenger cars and trucks.

NASH TEST LEAVES
NOTHING TO CHANCE

A circular road, half mile in diam
eter, which lies just back of the long
rows Of saw tooth buildings that COM
prise the Kenosha factory of the Nash
Motors Company typifles the fact that
in the production OF Nash cars nothing
is left to chance" That road is just
as much part Of Nash manufacturing
equipment as are the battery of electric
furnaces in the heat treating department
and the marvellous drop hammers of the
forge shop.
The fact that close inspection follows
each operation throughout the factory In
the manufacture of parts that go into
the completed car and that each part is
reinspected after II has been assembled
with a coordinate part and that the en-
tire car Is inspected after II leaves the
Q ssembly line does not satisfy .he Nash
Motors Company. Before a Nash car Is
shipped to a dealer to be turned over by
him to the buyer the company makes
sure by first hand information that the
car is In perfect condition.
Thus after the Nash Six leaves the
final assembly and trim shop and Is COM
p,ete IN every detail 1t is taken imme-
6iately out on the testing road. where in
the hands OF q mechanic trained by long
experience 10 uelcct the slISnleSt iHulcA-
tion OF improper functioning Of any part
of the car Il Is given g. rigid test
The tester after driving the car out
onto the circular road puts It in low
speed. then in second and finally into
high. He circles tho road many times
{, equently alternating these speeds and
as frequently going into the reverse.
II he detects the slightest inaccuracy
in the functioning OF any part he takes
the car TO the hospital" a special adj
Jrsting department where the trouble Is
Immediately remedied.

With the announcement OF the now
car pictured above this week. the fact
was also mentioned that new dis
tributor has been appointed for the
Stephens Salient Six in the metropolitan
territory. This company will operate un-
der the name OF the Stephens New York
Motor Car Company. Inc. with head
quarters at 1853 Broadway. r. S. Cole
is president of the local corporation.
Their territory consists OF all of New
York city, Brooklyn, Long Island. Staten
Island, all of Connecticut. except the
counties of Windham. New London and
Tolland all OF New Jersey as far south
as Atlantic City and all of New York
State as far north as and including
Columbia county.
In addition to the local sales the New
York company will handle all the ex-
port business OF the Stephens Motor Car
Company. In this end of the business
Mr.. Cole is peculiarly fitted to increase
the foreign business OF this line. He was
for twenty-one years connected with
the Singer Sewing Machine Company.
the last four years of which, ending
February. 1915. he spent as their gem
eral manager in charge OF their business
in Japan, Korea, Formosa and Man
churia, with headquarters at Yokohama.
which position he resigned to become
Oriental sales manager for the Hupmo-
bile Motor Car Corporation. In 1915 he
formed partnership with III. F. Robert

representatives and financing dealers In
all foreign countries.
During the three years ending Decem-
Der. 1920. when practically all foreign
business came to standstill owing 70

ported over $4,000 motor cars, acting as
exclusive factory representatives in diff

cars and trucks. among the principal
ones being Hupmobile. Paige Marmon.

ROLLS-ROYCE SHOWS
INCREASE IN SALES

Gratifying reports come from Rolls
Royce. Inc. at Springfield. Mass. show
ing very closely paralleled percentages
OF Increase during the second quarter
of the year In both sales and output,
over the first quarter.
The sales increased 233 per cent over
the figures for the first quarter of the
year. 1t is particularly interesting that
this percentage of increase held good
throughout July. which is almost in
variabiy a low period In automobile
sales. indicating sustained interest In
this car.
The output showed a satisfactory In
crease in the second quarter over that
of the first, as additions to the works
force were made at intervals during
May and June.

POERTNER SUGGESTS
UNIFORM SIGNALS

"If the Police Department. after II
gets all the operators registered for
traffic warning cards. will issue some
special rulings on signals for driving
which the public will understand, 1t will
Be great relief to tho general motor
list. and relieve him in a good many
cases of blame for accidents" says w.
c. Poertner. Metropolitan distributor
OF Durant and National cars.
'The average motor car driver In sig
mailing does so in a manner that the
man in the car behind him has no idea
as to whether the chap ahead intends
to go right or left. or whether he Is
going to stop entirely"

CHALMERS SIX NOW
AT LOWEST PRICE

"The announcement of the reduction
in price of the Chalmers six to s1,1S5 is
one Of the most important Of the recent
price changes. as It establishes new
low mark for this fine six cylinder car
says William Colt OF the Colt-Stewart
Company, local distributors.
"The policy of the organization now
producing the Chairners six has been TO
make the car an outstanding value.
Under price conditions that have pre-
vailed for the last year the value OF the
Chalmers has been Sery pronounced.
"The new price makes II available to
a still greater number Of people who
appreciate really fine six cylinder
car"

TREND OF MANUFACTURE
TOWARD CONSERVATISM

That the modern automobile manufac-
turer has definite demand to meet. and
that this demand calls for conservative
ideas In design and construction, Is
pointed out by J. A. Mellish or the
Auburn Sales Company. Inc, local dis
tributors. Mr.. Mellish recalls the early
days of the industry when the motor car
was a novelty and the public welcomed
new ideas.
To-day the motorist knows the me-
chanics OF an automobile" said Mr.
Mellish. "He knows what II must do
and what kind of mechanism will best
give such service. He wants quality
first, durability. reliability. He wants "A
car that viii travel at "A reasonable rate
of speed over the normal kind OF roads
and keep at It, OF course. there are car
owners who want something different
from the standard designs. and for these
the higher class or sport ears, such az
the Auburn sport, are satisfactory. But
these better sport cars are not in any
way frcakish. They are simply different
and distinctive

Bells With interesting Histories.
The bells OF the old missions along
the length Of California must have In
teresting histories, but, there is little,
5of an authentic nature concerning
them. One Of them at Santa Ysobel,
San Diego, lacks but seven years of
being two hundred years old. It Us
Garked "N. S. de Loreto, 1882" which
means Our Lady of Loreto. The real
origin Of this bell is not known, but
IT is said to have been In service in
Lover California where the missions
were established 100 yeas before the
mission fathers invaded Alta, Calf.
These bells must haye been power
ful aid to the fathers La gaining fhe
attention and interest OF the Indians
and It seems that some facts concern
ing the castings should have been
kept, but there appears to be nothing
like an authentic record.
