PROUD OF THE ALL-YEAR CAR
Xisiel Turn Out a Machine that it
Asserted to Be Most Attractive
that Has Ever Been Seen.
MACE IK HANDSOME DESIGNS
A considerable, but not too aweeptng
reduction In the prices of the successful
41-81 and JU-Four, an entirely new and
mailer chassis at a revolutionary price
for a KIsselKsr, and Improved designs of
the popular all-year car, are prominently
mentioned In the announcement of the
new KlesciKars.
The Kissels are very proud of the great
success achieved by the All-year car.
which they originated and Introduced
last summer, and naturally the new mod
els center largely around this feature.
The new All-year cars Include a coupe
top as well ss a Sedan top and both are
very handsome designs.
The new tops are attached by bolting
at ten points, at six points to heavy steel
brackets and at four points to the regu
lar top Irons of the touring car or road
ster. An Inverted top Iron la used, so
that when the top Is on, there la not the
slightest Indication of the parting line
between the two halves of the body.
The frames of the new All-year tops
are of heavy white ash and elm with ma
hogany sashes. These frames are cov
ered with sheet steel and aluminum after
the manner of the flneat limousine. The
roof la three-ply white wood, covered
with canvaa. The material and construc
tion ofrhe roof are of such a character
that peeling and warping are practically
out of the question.
Preach Plate Glass.
The window and door panes are French
plate glass set Into high grade hard
channel rubber, eliminating the possi
bility of leaking even In driving rains.
Eight panes of glasa. Including two oval
panea, are used In the Sedan top, alx In
the coupe top. The atandard tops are
trimmed with leather, but special ma
terial la provided, aa ordered.
There is a center dome light In each
top, the electrlo wiring being connected
automatically, aa the two halves of the
body are Joined by means of spring
plungers. Seventeen coata of paint Is ap
plied in twenty-one finishing operations.
The hardware la of the best pressed steel
hinges and door locks and brass handles
and window fixtures. The front and door
windows are divided and easily adjusted
for ventilation. There Is a drop shade
In the back window and silk curtains are
draped in the rear side windows.
Velie Increase
Changes Policy
The great Increase in Velie sales and
production brought about by the advent
of the new $1,065 Velie "Six," haa caused
the oompany to change it policy aa far
aa distribution of car through John
Deere branches is concerned, primarily,
that there may be no conflict or Inter
ference with the vaat implement organi
sations established these many years.
Hereafter the distribution of the Velie
cars In Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansaa City,
Oklahoma City, Denver and other citlea
where John Deere branches were formerly
used will be handled by automobile dis
tributors of high standing. Each will
carry large stock of cars and parts and
will be fully prepared to give the aupport
and service to automobile dealers ex
pected of the Velie company.
Corkhill Talks on
Spring Advantages
"The advantage of the aeml-elllptlo
springs are recognised by automobile do
signers both In tbls country and In Eu
rope." states C. J. Corkhill of the Ne
braska Hayne Auto Salea company, dis
tributer for the Haynes Light Six.
"The aeml-elllptlo is ao termed because
It la a half-ellipse. It supports the frame
at the middle of the spring. Thla con
struction allows extreme resiliency and
ease of riding, at the same time pre
venting any side-sway of the body on the
chassis.
"The three-quarter elliptic spring Is
anchored to the frame of the car at
the end and at the middle of the ellipse.
The full-elltptlo I fastened only at the
middle. Either of these types of con
struction permit a great deal of side
sway of the body relative to the chaasla.
which, of course, creates heavy strains
and etreaeea detrimental to the entire
car."

over a compliment paid them by H. K.

useful to the members, and to the tniir-
lata who have occasion to secure reports
on roea conditions.
