MOTOR INCREASING
INTERSTATE TRADE
Auto Builds Civic Pride and
Booms Business, Says
Official.

Main street Is being beautifIed
through the automobile" said H. H.
Rice, president of the Cadillac Mo-
tor Car Company. in commenting
recently on the great increase in
interstate touring by automobile
owners.
The man who travels retains
many memories of civic beauties
when he return from a trip through
some other part of the United
states" asserted the Cadillac OFF,
cial. "He is anxious to have his
own town transformed into a place
which invites tourists. He votes for
better pavements. boulevard lights
and modern school and municipal
buildings His pride in civic af-
fairs can often be traced directly
to the trip he took with his wife and
family through some town in a diff
ferent State"
States are becoming neighbors
through the motor car. Another
link in our democracy has been
welded by the automobile which
brings officials OF the State and
nation together while solving the
problems OF good roads," stated Mr..
Rice.
Pointing out a specific instance
of the great gain in touring among
people of different States. Mr.. Rice
told how while driving through
New York. a friend counted license
plates from thirty-six States on
one stretch of highway.

900, or around 75 per cent of the

mean a somewhat larger output
than In the third quarter Of 1891.
which was the best of that year.
Automotive manufacturers are
not as much disturbed about their

DETROIT. Aug. s.-The motor

ss.ooo.ooo at bankruptcy sale.
while the reports are AZ yet un-

them. the fact remains that they
appear to be founded on accurate
facts and the. leaders In the auto

as they dislike the medicine which
Ford Is said to have in store for

MODEL PRODUCT
Peerless Motor Car Com

In Two Weeks.
NO DETAILS AS YET
r. H. Collins and Associates
Secretive About Newest
Achievement.
NO DETAILS AS YET

At last II has been definitely stated
that the Peerless Motor Car Conn
pany is about to announce . new car
and the trade IL aroused In conjecture
and speculation to q greater extent
perhaps than at any time during the
last half-score Of years.
Ever since r. n. Collins and his
associates took over the Peerless busi-
ness last fall. those who knew Col
iins best have insisted that one Of
these days he would come out with
as startling developments In the
Peerless line as those which he had
introduced In past successes.
At the same time. so remarkable
have been the Peerless strides for
ward during the last year that many
had come to the perfectly logical
conclusion that Collins. with the ex-
ceptionally good product that Peer
less had demonstrated itself to be.
would continue the current line for q
long time to come. But that would
not have been typical Of Collins and
the organization he had formed around
him. His past performance Is proof
Of the fact that as long as improve
ments are possible in automotive en-
gineering and designing. he will in
corporate them in his product. For
that reason. 1t Is claimed. he probably
carried with him a larger force Of
highly trained automotive engineers
than any other individual automotive
organization.
Not a word was available from the
factory this week as to the actual
description of the new car. 1T will
be very East. very powerful and very
beautiful car" was all that Mr.. Col
lins would say. Likewise. other ex-
ecutives Of the company and particu-
larly the engineers. were equally
reticent in discussing the subject.
incidentally. they cannot conceal the
smile that goes with the more or less
secretive achievement of a really i'm
portant task-as much as to say:
You'll like it when you see It.. It's
the best job we've ever done"
Two weeks from today the public
will learn all about the latest Collins
