To take rare of what Is expected to lie the greatest demand for Its product in its history along the At lantic seaboard, a demand presaged by the remarkable popularity achieved by Overland and Willys-Knjght motor cars during 10"3, Willys-Overland an nounces the acquisition e»f a new plant in Philadelphia in which 100 Overland cars a day ifre to be buijt within another four or six weeks’ time. This announcement makes Phila delphia a greater automobile center than ever before, inasmuch as it is anticipated that the output of the new factory will take < are of the hulk of the demand within the 15 states and the District of Columbia contiguous to the Atlantic coast from the New England states to the Caro lina s. The new Willys-Overland plant was built In lots, and during the war was used hy the federal government. With its ideal railroad and river front age facilities, the plant is ideal. The actual floor space to be used will he 161,000 square feet, which does pot Include the platforms which surround all the buildings, nor rail road trackage, etc. New Function for Advertising One of the most unusual tributes that has ever been paid to advertis ing was disclosed recently during an interview with C.

Motor Car Traffic Is Com pared \^ith Steam Road A census of the railroads' rolling stork for all of the steam roads in the United Slates shows, at the closi Of 1923, 2,400,000 freight cars, i.7.000 passenger cars and liS,000 locomotiv of all types. There are then To more than five automobiles for ev> i freight car, passenger car and 1 ■ motive in the United Slates. Motor trucks alone carry about un eighth of the tonnage carried by the Rail roads, while the passenger automo biles transport as many passengers annually as are transported by the railroads of the country. Balance Necessary in Tire-'. To the Intensive research and ex perimental work that has been car ried on at several automobile fac tories under the supervision of the engineering departments, the United States Rubber company attributes the radical Improvements now Incor porat'd In its balloon tires. One of i be most important dlseoverles made is the necessity for balance In low pi essuru tires. 'iil«h Klectecl President »,!'

ATlantic .r»065 Killy Motor Co., Asnociato Dealer - -———————m——————— Chrysler Motor Is Big Change from Old Styles •> Complete New Factory, Model of Efficiency, Is Built to Make Production Con dition's Ideal. Walter P. Chrysler'* new motor ear, the Chrysler Six, Is being built and distributed by a now motor ear com pany, the Chrysler Motor corpora tion, an associate of the older Max well Motor corporation, and Chalm ers Motor Car company. Wholly new machinery, tools, dies jigs, etc., necessary to build a motor car, have been Installed in the. great plant of the Chalmers Motor Car com pany, which has been completely re equipped. Maxwell-Chalmers dealers throughout the country will handle the car. The remodeling of the Chalmers plant makes it one of the most effi cient, If not actually the most effi ctent, in the entire industry. Ilngl neers, who have seen it, marvel at the completo changes made. Mr. Chrysler gave his production and lay out men the same free hand in re building this plant for the efficient manufacture of Chrysler cars as he gave his engineers in designing the Chrysler Six itself. Details of construction of the Chrysler reveal even more advanced innovations in design than were in corporated in the first statement of the car. They disclose more clearly, that scientific applications of numer ous fundamental engineering prin ciples were contributed to It In ways not heretofore brought out in any other motor car. Cylinders of the Chrysler Six are of the D-head type, cast In one block with the crankcase, with casting de signed to insure no possibility of ob structed or constricted water pas sages. Kach valve seat Is com pletely surrounded by cooling water. The engine has a 3-inch bore and 4 3 4 Inch stroke. Pts'nn displace in»nt is 201 cubic inch.es. Vet so well Is gasoline dlstribna ,d to all cylinders, and so completely is power utilized through weight dim In ition, reduction of friction and per feet balance of all reciprocating parts, that Ibis small power plant develops 43 horsepower. Engineers also sa> that there is absolutely no vibration The result makes possile the maxi mum speed of more than 70 miles ut hour from the small motor, with mini than 20 miles per gallon of gasoliic given throughout its tests. Such a. tonlshing results have been seedier only through the new application o: recognized fundamenta's in engim r ing design. Cadillac Sedan to Be on Display New Lpw-Priccd 7-Pas^enger (!ar Has Attracted Con siderable Interest. During the coming week, a new type low-priced Cadillac seven pass enger sedan will be on display at the showroom of the J. II- Hansen Cadillac Co. This car *is being pro duced in conjunction with a new type low-priced Victoria coupe which will be shown at the Cadillac show room soon. These two new body styles of Cadillac have created an un usual Interest where they have been shown and at the new low figure they should be quite a stimulus to Cadillac sales which have already \ been far above expectations. The public is invited to view this new sedan. Accident Prevention Not ^ ar Motor accident prevention does not in any sense mean a war on the automobile, Richard K. Kropf, su preme regent of the Royal Ar canum, said In an address here. "The automobile traffic problem is capable of solution,” Mr. Kropf said, “in touching upon the plan of life con servation through accident preven tion begun by the Royal Arcanum among its 125,000 members. Stewart Reports Business Boom Tour of Nebraska Shows Im |»ro\c<l (hmriitions—Fac tories W ork Full Time. "Tin? business outlook for 1924 Is 1 lightening perceptibly," according to Cuy E. W'ost, manager of the Slew rt-Warner products service station, distributors of the Stewart line of speedometers and auto accessories. “I have reached tliin conclusion only after a careful study of condi lens by personal observations on a trip throughout the state and reports from our representatives who cover the entiire. state of Nebraska and ad joining territory. “Two outstanding reasons are re sponsible for the splendid increase in our hus'ness for 1924—the decision1 of dealers generally to carry onl dependable quality, highly advertised products and to avoid a condition they met with a year ago, for not be ing able to secure merchandise promptly when the demand wa* made upon them—hence the increase of orders coming in to us for future shipment, thus far showing a marked Increase over the first quarter of last year. "Our factories are working at full speed to meet the demands of theli many distributors throughout the country.” This condition will be apparent In all lines within a very short time, is ibe belief of Mr. West. Motor Outlook Good. Never has the outlook been better for the automobile seller and buy*' than it is for 1924. Closed cars with ih* Ir added comfort and utility ar** growing more popular. We now have In the Ks.«ex roach the only five p tusenger enclosed cur at lesa than $ 1.000. _ Special Values Re-new-ed Cadillacs Type 59 Victoria A beautiful re-new-ed enclosed model exceptionally low priced. Can be purchased for a payment of less than $1,000.00 down and the balance monthly. Type 61 Phaeton .Just like new and has had less than 10,000 miles of « service.

HA 0710 Farnam St. at 26th How We Spend Your Money in building Studebaker cars Why people buy 150,000 yearly Ii is true that we spend lavishly on Studebaker cars. But it’s all to your advantage. It is by that spending that we give you the greatest value in the fine-car field. We offer prices no one matches on any comparable cars. That lavish spending led people last year to pay $200,000,000 for Studebaker cars. And that volume brings our prices down to where they are. $50,000,000 in plants Studebaker assets are $90,000,000. In modern plants and equipment we have $50,000,000. Seventy per cent America. The Light-Six more than any competitive car within $1,000 of its price. In closed cars wscoffer wondrous luxury. The lining is Chase Mohair, made from the fine fleece of Angora goats. Velour would cost about one third that, saving up to $100 a car. Note those • bumpers, that steel trunk, those extra disc wheels with cord tires on some models. Note that extra courtesy light. Think what they would cost if you bought them. The cost of care The unvarying standards in Stude baker cars are fixed by a department Then we pay extra for continuous service. Last year. 13,000 men in our factories got anniversary checks — total $1,300,000. After five years of service those checks amount to 10% of their wages. We spend $2,000,000 yearly on our co-operative work for men. Every year we give factory em ployes one week’s vacation with pay. That cost us $225,000 last year. We sell them stock on attractive terms. We retire old employes on pensions. All this to keep men happy, to foster morale, and to keep men with of that amount was spent in the past seven years. So it represents the last word in equipment. $8,000,000 in drop forge plants, so every vital part is made to Studebaker standards. $10,000,000 in body plants, so Studebaker ideals may be shown in every body. All that is staked in a permanent way on satis fying fine-car buyers bet ter than our rivals. I What extras cost Lack of vibration is a famous Studebaker fea ture. We get that by ma chining crank shafts as they were la Liberty Air plane Motors. That extra cost is over $600,000 reerly. Don’t Buy Blindly Studebaker is today the leader in the fine-car field. It has made this concern the largest builder of quality cars in the world. You can find nothing in cars at $1,000 or over to compare with Studebaker values. , Studebaker sales have almost trebled in the past three years. The growing demand is the sensation of Motordom. For 72 years the name Studebaker has stood for quality and class. But never so much as today. Then don’t buy a car at $1,000 or over without learning what we offer. us when they develop efficiency. Not extravagance Do such things seem extravagant? They are not. All those extra dol lars save more dollars for our buyers. They result in the cars you see, in the prices and values we offer. Nothing else in the field can com pare. Those values have re suited in a demand for 150,000 cars per year. That volume cuts our costs in two, as compared with limited production. The cause of over prices — under-values —■ is not lavish expenditure. It is Matchless endnrance Is another famous feature. One Studrbaker Six, ■till in active use, has nm 47WOO miles since 1914. We get that through costly steels. On some we pay 15*/, bonus tomakersto get formula* exact. Beauty of finish is another su premacy. But that finish requires many operations, including 15 coats of paint and varnish. Our real leather cushions cost $25 per car over imitation leather. Every Studebaker car is Timken equipped. The Special-Six and the Big-Six have more Timken bearings than any car selling under $5,600 in of Methods and Stuardi It ta enormously expensive. Our constant improvements sre due to ceeseleaa research. 125 ex perts devote their time to the study of betterments. They make 500,000 tests per year. That reliability ia doe to 12,000 inspections of the material and work manship in each Studebaker car be fore it leaves the factory. This re quires 1.000 inspectors. Bring generous with men We pay maximum wages—at least as much as anyone else will pay. Limited production. Heavy overhead, OntofdaU machinery, ^ methods, N on-economical plants. Transient labor, workers. We’ve eliminated thoee things. We've done it at what seems to you a heavy coat par car. But each of those extra dollars saves $5, we be lieve. Note what values and what prices have resulted. Note the amaz ing demand—the overwhelming de mand—it has brought for Studebaker cars. _•_ LIGHT. SIX 5 Pass. 112' W B 40 H. P.
