Three Markets For
Auto Distribution

Recognition of three separate and
distinct markets is made by the
Paige Detroit Motor Car Company,
controlling to Il large extent its pol
icy manufacture. according to Harry
NJ. JeWett, president.
Mr.. Jcwett, in several addresses be-
fore dealer bodies. at the time of the
announcing of a new Jewett 6, dwelt
at length on the distinction between
these three markets. The Paige Com
pany which was started in 1909 with
less than a quarter million dollars
capital investment, has grown until it
has today assets of more than $1o,-
100000.
The genuinely strong financial posi-
ton all through these years could not
have been maintained, in the belief of
the officials of the company, unless
the various classes of purchasers were
definitely grouped and the dealings of
the company carried on with those
groups which it had products for.
The Taige president told of man,
conferences held by the executives
over these thee buying classes. He
said in part:
First, we considered the purely
transportation class. This includes
the buyer who purchases the cheap
est form of transportation. 1t was
obvious that entering this price class
would be like buttins our heads

The Old Mechanic Says:

Too much system doesn't pay in
tskin' care of a car. l know it for
a fact because l see what happens to
to lot of cars that are serviced
accordin to logic and system.
You can carry good thing to ex-
tremes same as anything else. It's
all right to make it part of a system
to inspect the spark plugs every SO
often. but you go a step too far
when you try to save labor by TAX
in the condition of one plug as an
indication of what shape the rest
are in.
There's a car that illustrates the
whole point. The owner spends a
lot of time on it, but he's gone too
far with system. Whenever he sets
out to inspect the plugs he makes it
a rule to examine two of them be-
fore divin' into the job. He is sys-
tematic about this, and up to a GER
tain point he Is sensible.
For instance, he looks at the
plugs of one Of the end cylinders
and, then, at one of the plugs toward
the center of the engine block. The
idea of this is to make sure that in
judgin' all the plugs by the one he
examines he isn't maxim the mis-
take of overlookin' the difference in
fuel distribution. Sometimes the
center cylinders will get a richer
mixture than the end ones or more
oil, dependin' upon the motor. the
adjustment of the carburetor and
other matters. His little system
helps him up to this point, but then
he makes the mistake of carryin' it
too far.
I've just towed his car over here
because it would not run right. He
said the trouble couldn't be due to
the plugs, but when he told me
about his system that was the first
place / looked. He forgot that
rings, cylinders and pistons do not
always wear evenly, and that any
one of four, six or eight cylinders
may foul its spark plug quicker than
the rest.
His system cost him a repair bill
! a lot of trouble and worry. Some
times it's best to do a little more

Three Traffic Tricks

If pedestrians do not respond to
your horning when driving about
the city after dark try switching on
the headlights an instant when ap-
preaching a crossing where YOU have
been granted the right of way.
When the headlights are on a
pedestrian loses conception of the
speed of Your car and gets out of
the way in the belief that you are
travelling fast. If there arc rules
against using the headlights i'll the
city just Il mere flash now and again
will be construed as a mere accident
on your part. The police would
rather have you do this than raSp
them with that ever -lastingly noisy
norm.
Always signal your intentions of
stopping or turning when approach
ing city crossing even if traffic is
light and you see no car in your
rear-vieW mirror. Many crossings
are complicated to a point where
there may be another machine COM
ing down a street to your rear that
Goes not show in your mirror.
Remember that in the city there is
always someone to measure the
marks of your sliding tires on the
pavement should you be involved in
an accident. From this they can
ascertain whether or not YOU were
keeping within the speed limit.

Free speech knows no limitations
with regard to motor matters.
Everyone seems to have something
to say on the subject of traffic,
safety and the future in motordom.
But anyone can criticise them, so
that helps. Here are some of the
latest views for your acceptance or
rejection:
DR.. William Mather Lewis, presi-
dent Of George Washington Uni
versity says that fifty years from
how people will be going to business
on motor roller skates. He believes
that the parking problem will force
IL upon us.
A motorist suggests that all the
small license numbers be reserved
for drivers who need watching. He
thinks that even the victim of an
accident has a better chance of
catching "91" than of remembering

ed for exemptions from technical

mobiles. In the interests of the

often necessary for postal drivers

rules.

easily determined. But all this is
impossible with cars that do not
slide because their four brakes do
not lock.
How are they going to tell how
fast a motorist was going prior to
a collision? The emergency brakes
still lock the rear wheels. but few
motorists use these in an emergency,
and the four wheel service brakes
would complicate matters anyway.
What's the Answer
I. What is meant by the
term "servo" with reference to
brake systems for cars?
2. What is "banjo" type
axle housing?
3. Why should the car be
used directly after adding water
to the battery, and why should
the engine be warm before SER
vicing the battery?

Better Railway Brakes

that they are not as up-to-date IN
this respect as the automobile. How

dents, for instance, are directly the
result of the inability of stopping
