CAR WITH LONG LIFE
DEMANDED BY PUBLIC

"a review OF 1921 in the automobile
Industry" Edward S. Jordan, president
of the Jordan Motor Car Company, said
yesterday. together with a sound fore
cast for 1922. points out conclusivcly to
me that the public wants car of ex-
tremely long life.
Personally my ideal In a motor car
is one that will run 100000 miles with
proper care and without losing so much
of its original newness in appearance
that the owner will be ashamed to drive
IL. In many instances a. car of this
type may pass from one to two. three,
four or even five owners, and where the
manufacturer has protected his future
by adhering to continuously conservative
lines in body design, each owner will
derive that satisfaction and pride OF
ownership to which he is rlghtfully en-

NO VIBRATION IN
RICKENBACKER CAR
New Method Of Balance Makes
Smooth Running Motor.

The Rickenbacker car has no period

That. in one sentence, tells the story
of the rema rkable new motor car named
in honor OF Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker.

daring on the speedway and his seven
teen years of achievement in manufact-
uring and selling motor cars.
At any speed. from two miles an
hour 20 over sixty. no vibration de-
velops. All this is possible through
new method Of balance. which Is readily
understood by consideration OF the
specifications Of the Rickenbacker car.
The Rickenbacker plants are now in fun
operation and production is increasing
every day.
The motor has a cylinder block
casting consisting OF six cylinders
of 3is inch bore, cast integral with
the upper part OF the crank
case. which is a very deep section. af-
fording unusual rigidity. This block
casting is so designed that che chain
case and the fywheel housing are bolted
on. thus simplifying the casting and the
machining process.
The crankshaft Is unusually large at
the bearing diameters and is dynamic
ally balanced to insure smoothness of
operation. The cranlSshaft is drilled
with oil leads and q high pressure oil
system is used, supplying oil to all main
bearings and connecting rods. The bear
ings are of unusually large proportions
and an extra bearing Is provided at the
extreme front end Of the shaft to sup
port small balancing flywheel which
eliminates all vibration and smooths the
motor out at any speed. This gives the

The automobile as an accepted vehicle
celebrated its twenty-first birthday in
1921. The automobile industry found
that this age of majority brought new
problems of business adjustment. In
solving these problems in 1921 the in
dustry made its most notable advances
ls placing sales and production methods
upon sounder foundations.
The establishment of these new stand
ards in sales and production admins
tration brought the industry through
the year in far stronger condition than
many anticipated.
The courage and resouFcefuneSs of
Americas bankers and business men in
sustaining the motor car industry de-
serve the admiration OF every Anlcri-
can. When it is remembered that the
automobile industry to-day provides
employment for the heads of very
nearly one million American families,
rs well as taking large shares of the
production of such allied industries as
the leather. cotton, textiles. &c, one
may judge the part it plays in advanc-
ins Americas prosperity and the stand
ard OF living of Americas citizens.

electric motor because It operates so
smoothly.
The connecting rods are made of a
very light section drop forging with a
heavy babbit liner at the large end. A
special process of grinding the small end
is used TO insure absolute alignment of
the connecting rods. The process was
never used in engine building until il
was developed by several manufacturers
in grinding connecting rods of aeroplane
engines. The perfect alignment which
is obtained by this process means the
elimination of side friction of the piston,
which in turn inSures an easier and
smoother running motor and has a great
deal TO do with the elimination OF scor-
ing, which Is so frequently caused by
the poor alignment of the connecting
rods.
The pistons are of special cast iron
made By a patented moulding process,
have an unusually long skirt. and are
extremely light in weight. The front
end drive is by silent chain running
over three sprockets, one on the crank
shaft, another on the camshaft. and the
third on the generator and water pump
shaft.
The ignition distributor Is placed on
top of the cylinder head. and is driven
by the same gear which drives the oil

Of burning the clutch are eliminated and

So well has the automobile trade met
the difficulties of readjustment during
1921 that the world to-day can continue
10 look TO America for the best in auto
motive transport. Moreover, because
the automotive industry is the faithful
Barometer of sll business. ii can now
be said with reasonable confidence that
1927 will approach business as usual"
II promises to be year of normal pro-
duction.
II Is through study of all classes
of the motor buying public that one
best obtains a basis for discussing the
probable automobile sales in 1872. or
course one may err one way or the
other in naming figures, but the ma
iolty of manufacturers. because of the
slackened sales in the latter half OF
1920 and in 1921, will err on the con-
seIvative side.
One of the best prepared analyses Of
the probable market 1 ever saw was
that laid before me at the opening of
1920. 1t was prepared by independent
agencies quite outside the automobile
business. Its final conclusion stated that

Facts you should know

No one receives anything gra-
tuitously in this world-don'x
be misled by false allowances.
We believe that any sales policy
which encourages the giving Of
fictitious values for used cars rs
an injustice to the public
We wish to establish definitely
the fact that tho Buick Motor
Company has never followed
this policy-rather has always
based the price of its product
upon actual costs and when
costs come down correspond
ingly reduced the prices Of its
cars to the public without any
can7oufaee whatsoever.
The New York herald., 1922-01-08


The question of greatest impor-
tance is not what you win be
allowed for your Old car but the
price you pay for the new car
and the value received.
You are money out If allowed

A purchasers loss is only post

are made above a used cars real
value. The deal that may ap-

the most expensive in the end.

SAFETYDEPARTMENT
WARNS FOOL DRIVER
Days Checking on Missoula

Is Startling

Motorists who take a chance" at
railroad crossings on the Northern Pa
cific will receive written notice and
warning from the company.
The indifference with which the
average person in an automobile re-
CARDS the hazard to life and limb while
approaching or passing over railroad
crossings has resulted in so much loss
of life and in SO many persons being
manned that it is becoming a subject
of serious concern for us as we'll as ma
tional concern for all the railroads.
said Fred NJ. Metcalfe, superintendent
of the Northern Pacific safety depart
mcnt. -.
For the purpose of a~scertaining
what cars are being driven over these
crossings in a careless or thoughtless
manner the Northern Pacific is having
trained observers check important
crossings during the present 6O-day pc
riod. With a view of conserving life
and limb. the owners of such cars will
receive written advice from us as a re-
suit of this check, in which they will

ing price, resulting in economies which
Dodge Brothers are passing directly to
the purchaser. Wood is practically
eliminated from the construction Of
this car" said George Prentice, the To-
cal dealer. Even the framework and
panels are of steel, and the natural re-
suit is a lighter, quieter and more dur
able car. Steel prolongs life and re-
duces the possibility Of squeaks and
rattles.
The business men of America have
been expecting such a coupe and Dodgs
Brothers have given it to them.
The change of design in the other
Dodge Brothers cars indicates that
while Dodge Brothers have always adj
hered closely to the practical they are
also progressive and abreast of the
time. 1t is their policy to make i'm
provements year after year and month

step forward"

be told if drivers took the trouble OF
having their cars under perfect con-
troll when approaching crossings, and
looking in both directions before .et-
ting on the track, practically all Of the
1000 casualties happening yearly
would never occur.
ION the N. P. system there are
about 10000 crossings, over which rush
thousands of automobiles, often with
out their drivers looking to see whether
a train is approaching. Illustrative OF
this lack of care recent observations
showed that at one street crossing In
Missoula, Mont, and one in Fargo, n.
D., there were respectively "a and 26j
machines driven over it in one day be-
tween S a.. m. and 6 p. m. without the
least precaution being taken by. the
to insure their own safety or
the safety of those who were riding
with them. In some of these 319 cases
the crossing flagman's stop disc, dis
played when trains are closely ap-
preaching, were total disregarded and
the machines were saved from being
wrecked and their occupants killed OF
injured only by existing circumstances
and not by any c~autionary act OF
theirs"
Mr.. Metcalfe said the Northern Pa
cific has made a careful study for years
of the causes of railroad crossing &C.
cidents, to prevent which it has erect.
ed conspicuous signs, installed many
electric signals. eliminated many dan
gerous crossings by costly construc-
ton, and is constantly striving to edu-
cate the public to the fact that a grade
crossing should always be considered a
hazard and cannot be made fool-proof
State authorities are awakening to 8
realization of this hazard and are CO.
operating with railroads in their edu-
cational activities. said Mr.. Metcalfe.

be no worse off than l am IN trying to
guess at your cars trouble. However,
IL the knock is in the motor, it may
be caused by looseness of some part.

He claims a test of IS on the high

The high test gasoline will be better
all around-produces less caroon

less crankcase dilution, etc.

at this place the oil is thrown by the

The leak at the generator is at the
front underneath hole in the body. close
to where the generator attaches to the

In running 200 miles I used about
seven quarts Of cylinder oil, more than

I caught a quart in a can placed under

Can you tell me how the oil is get

The trouble at the generator is due
to worn generator front bearing which
permits the oil to work into the gen

If oil is getting out of the engine
compartment l would suspect a worn
