MANY NEW NASH HAVE BEEN SOLD New Model Has Strong Appeal For Careful
 Buyer -

Many more new model Nash cars were sold in August than we could deliver" remarked P. R. Mccormack, of Mccormack Bros. Motor company, during a discussion on business condi- tions. Everything leads us to be- lieve," continued MT. Mccormack, "that us. We have never sold a car which had such a strong sales appeal as the improved 1925 model Nash.
 "Ihe public has been quick to ob- serve the many exclusive superiorities of the new Special Six and Advanced Six series Nash cars. The splendid values offered in these cars have at tracted scores of motorists who have heretofore used only the more expensive makes of cars. In fact, these values are so apparent that even the inex- perienced motorist can readily appre- ciate them. Of course, we are still selling cars every day simply through our reputation for reliable and efficient service, and the wise motorist appre- ciates the value of this feature >ot Nash ownership, but this wonderful new car would sell almost without serv. ice like ours behind it.
 We have sixty cars, in addition to our regular allotment, scheduled to ar. rive this month, so we hope to catch up with the demand for new Nashs al least temporarily. However, at the rate we are taking orders for these cars there will be few, if any, left for imme. diate delivery. We would like to urge all our friends to see these cars as soon as possible so that we can make ar. engagements which will insure prompt delivery on the particular model which best suits them"

DRIVING HINTS
By BARNEY OLDFIELD

During the pleasant autumn days that are now at hand I know that thousands of my readers are planning to embark on the road for a jaunt and I want to give them some hints on driving drawn from my own experiences of many years.
 Some time you may come to hill so steep that you can't climb it even in first. i; I have. Do you know how got upN it? backed up. Reverse gear is even lower than first and you can back un any hill that donkey can climb.
 In hill climbing always keep well to the right. This is good practice because the rise of the hill above you may obscure your view, so that you will miss a car coming toward you and find yourself in a collision. Then too drivers coming down are usually travelling pretty fast and consequently take up a little more room than usual
 .. In descending steep grades, particu- larly long ones, always throw the gear lever into second or first. Most drivers know this trick which is good safety practice and in addition saves brake | lining. To add further braking effort, throw off the ignition, when the rear wheels turn over the engine and fur ther factor of resistance is created. In this way it will be necessary to use the brakes only occasionally for a moment or two to pull down the speed.
 In some parts of the country tour ists are certain to encounter heavy, sandy roads. If the sandy stretch is long and looks dangerous wrap your tires with burlap bags or with ropes, in case you have no burlap in the car. Sometimes it is necessary to deflate the tires until they are very soft and spread out over a big area. If you get stuck in the sand don't spin the rear wheels. This only digs a deeper hole and you are worse off than be- | fore. If you see that you are not mak- ing any progress, shift into neutral and get busy at the rear wheels. If you can get boards or even a fence rail, put them under the rear wheels and reverse out of the sand.
 When you are approaching a sandy stretch, it is best to speed up and try and breeze over it, but keep good grip on the steering wheel, because deep sand makes the. wheel hard to handle.
 Muddy roads are negotiated in very much the same way as sand, but you will find that your tire chains usually will pull you through mud. As a gen eral thing mud in the road is not very deep and when the wheel sinks through tho ooze. the tire chains catch in the

 RADIO CONCERTS
 AT LAMBERT co.
Trublpruf Tire Concern
 Reports Interest Tn Department

With the advent of cooler weather, interest in radio is becoming more marked and radio bugs are beginning to look around for the latest develop ment in this science. In this connec- tion it is worthy of note that much interest is being manifested in the new radio department conducted by c. W. Eyck, at the store of Lambert Trubl- pruf Tire company.
 MT. Ten Eyck gives nightly con- certs at the Trublpruf store and a really worthwhile entertainment is thus available without charge and also the opportunity to inspect and examine the new Radiola which is creating so much talk in radio circles. The concerts be- gin at 8 o'clock every night and the public is cordially invited.
 The company is doing something diff fefent, in that they are offering free service for year to all purchasers of radio sets from them, and c. W. Ten Eyck, radio engineer, in charge of the department is capable of rendering ex- pert instructions and service on the sets. si .5 Likewise all parts necessary for the proper maintenance of radio will be carried in stock by the company and as aerials are not necessary for the ra- diola, demonstrations will be- made in the homes on request.

 He was designer and works manager

 Willys-Overland's experience with the
 Lanchaster balancer comes as the re- suit of suggestion to President Willys by Charles Y. Knight, inventor of the sleeve-valve type of gasoline engine which bears his name. Two of the companys leading engineers were sent abroad in the fall of 1923 to visit both Paris and London automobile shows and to investigate the performance of the new balancer. One of these was incorporated on Willys-Knight at the 1 plant of the Willys-Overland Crossley, LNd., at Manchester, England. The re- sJts were so remarkable that further Exhaustive tests were made both in England and America, with the result that the mechanism is now being in- corporated on all Willys-Knights being built.
 Pursuing it's policy to test improve
 ments with utmost care, President
 Willys placed Willys-Knight sedans, equipped with Lanchester balancers, in
 the hands of such engineering authori- ties as Glenn Curtiss, of the Curtiss Airplane company, Hiram F. Maxim of the Maxim Silencer company, Mau-
 rice Olley, production engineer of the
 Rollys-Royce company, and W. B. West
 of the Remington Cash Register com
 pany. After rigorous driving, this quar-
 tet of experts rendered hearty approba-
 tion of the new equipment. In his
 statement Mir. Maxim declared enthu-
 siastically that in his opinion the
 Willys-Knight was smoother than most ] of the six and eight-cylinder cars on the road. From 15 to 50 miles an
 hour with absolutely no vibration was
 their remarkable experience.
 All Willys-Knight models leaving the
 Willys-O Overland factory since August l5 have been equipped with the Lan- chester balancer and with 33x4.95 bal | loon tires on closed cars.
 In addition, certain changes have been incorporated in the timing of tht ! sleeves. size of the pu, engineering refinemcnts, with the result
 that the already abundant power of the motor has also been augmented

 NeW Lanchester Balancer
Elimination Of All Vibration Is Achieved By
 Invention

Complete elimination of the annoy ance of all motor vibration in its Willys: Knight models is achieved by Willys. Overland by the addition of the Lan. chester balancer, new British inven. ton, as standard equipment, in all flu. ture production
 This remarkable device, which has been the sensation of European motor ing circles for the past, year, has been used with phenomenal success on the other side of the Atlantic by leading motor car builders. Willys-O Overland has been able to ob- tain the American rights to the bal ancer by special arrangement with its inventor, Dr. F. w. Lanchester, r. R. S., a British engineer of outstanding genius.
 Ever since the first days of the mul- tiple-cylinder motor car, automotive en- gineers have endeavored to conquer vi- bration. In the beginning when the multiple-clyinder car had replaced the old one and two-lungers, the vibration in the engine passed almost unnoticed. The transition from one to multiple cylinders was such an improvement in itself that the latter type of engine was regarded as approximating perfection. It was the introduction of the closed car that necessitated greater refinement in the engine.
 The Lanchester balancer is based on purely scientific deduction with refer ence to the, causes of vibration in a mo- tor, and is applied in such a manner as to counteract this vibration at all motor speeds. It is a simple corrective device of two small gears attached to the center main bearing of the motor, driven in opposite directions by third and larger gear at twice engine speed. The third gear is part of the crank shaft. This rotation of the smaller gears, which are drilled in order to dis tribute their weight unevenly, gives equivalent, though opposite movement to the mass of the pistons, neutralizing the vibrations which these set up. This device was first tested by Dr. Lanchester in the cars which bear his name. Results were remarkable, but not long after this factory turned over it's entire capacity to the production of engines for aeroplanes. After the war the Daimler company, builders of Knight-motored cars in England, adopt ed the balancer. At the present time all Yauxhall cars are also equipped with this mechanism.
 Dr. Manchester, inventor of the bal ancer.. which bears his name, is ranked among England's foremost engineers. In the British ''Who's Who" he is

WOFFORD OFFERS DEMONSTRATION Free WashOut With WOcO Three C. Features
 Event

The Wofford Oil company's annual fall motor-washout campaign, when motorists of the Birmingham district are offered chance to have their crank cases washed out free with half a gallon of Woco "Three C. Crank Case Cleanser started Saturday and will run through this week. Hundreds of car owners took advantage of the occasion on Saturday to have their motors "freshened up" for the winter season.
 At the start of each season the Wolf ford, Oil company stages similar crank case demonstration to encourage motor ists in keeping their crank cases clean CT and thus insure better performance. Woco "Three c" Crank Case Cleanser was developed to aid this, being a spe- cial preparation which thoroughly cleanses the oil, dirty wornout oil from the crank cases but does not cut the lubricating quality of the fresh oil that is poured in. Kerosene used to be in general use for this washout purpose but Woco 'Three c" Crank Case Clean ser has practically supplanted it.
 The Woco dealers are engaged in a Woco Club contest under the, Make It A Million" campaign being run by the company and a great deal of interest IS being taken in the crank case demon stration. Cash prizes are offered to stations making the best showing in each class during the demonstration.

.DUCO FINISH FOR
 CARS AVAILABLE
Drennen Motor Co. Has Shop Using Factory Methods And Men

The Drennen Motor Car company is the first concern to be designated as an official service station for the new automobile finish "Duco" and this an. nouncement of the new method of paint ing is sure to receive an enthusiastic reception from motor car owners in this territory. The Duco system oi motor car finish is an innovation of the present season, the basis of which is an entirely new type of material. It is compounded of pyroxilin base and is not paint or varnish in any sense but is more of lacquer.
 This new finish is impervious to rain or snow or blistering sunshine it is not damaged by dirt or dust and will last for many seasons.
 The operatives at Drennen's who ap- ply the new Duco finish are experi- enced and may be relied upon to give a satisfactory job on any car entrusted to the paint shop and upon which the Duco finish is ordered. A pleasing range of colors is available.

firm ground below and continue to give you traction.
 Incidentally if you are taking a trip through a. sparsely settled section of the country where the roads are not of the first order, you should carry one of the devices now on the market for pulling your car out of mud or sand by its own power. They are not expensive and in time of need they are worth their weight in gold.
 One piece of advice I would give and that is never try to ford stream without being positive beforehand just how deep it is. I would rather go to the trouble of wading across myself than to have the car disappear under me in some hole did not know about.
 Another useful hint is to have your local club, the American Automobile association, your travel bureau, or some other authority, give you a report on the condition of the roads in the ter ritory you. expect to travel through. These organizations keep constantly posted on changes etc., and you can find out from their report just what preparations you had better make.

For those who desire the added safety ot four-wheel brakes. this equipment is now provided as optional with the new 1925 Cleveland Six. As a double factor of safety the emergency brake on the new models is located at the rear of the transmission. The result is that breaking action is exerted through the propeller shaft and rear axle differen- tial, thus equalizing the breaking ac- ton, even in slippery weather.

The new 1925 Cleveland Six is the first car to adopt automatic chassis fabrication. It is known as the "One Shot" system. Those in authority pre- dict that the introduction of this sys- tenn heralds the era of : automatic chassis fabrication. Every car owner appreciates being relieved of the task of manual fabrication.
