them In various forms.
The office of public loads was estab-.
Untied by the government for the purpose
of collecting and disseminating useful In
formation In regard to road building. The
rxhlblt Is Intended to illustrate the work
of this office, and la especially designed
.to Interest and Instruct farmers and road
officials In proper methods of road, con
struction. ,
The exhibit consists of a number of
models built on the scale of one and a
half Inches to the foot and illustrates the
construction of fifteen standard types of
roads in use in various parts of the I'nlted
States.
One of the most Important features of
the exhibit Is that which show the use
of asphalt, oil, tar and similar compounds
as dust palliatives and preventives, and for
the preservation of macadam roads sub
ject to fast automobile traffic. The ex
hibit Includes a miniature crushing plant
and steam roller In actual operation, a
well as a complete outfit of earth-handling
machinery.
Tho model earth road llluatratea the ef
fects of good and poor drainage as well
aa the' benefits resulting from the use of
road machines for construction and split
log drags for repair.
Model of Road.
A model of an oiled earth road shows
how this kind of road Is built and Includes
a section of old dusty road, another sec
tion where the road has been plowed and
ready for oiling, another where the oil
has been spread on the plowed , surface,
one uhere the oil and eai-th has been
mixed together ready for rolling and an
other section showing the finished road.
This method of construction is adapted
especially to the far west and southwest,
where asphaltlc oil can be easily secured.
The sand-clay road model shows the
building of a sand-clay road, and rfpre-
sents a section of old sandy road treated
with a mixture of sand and clay. This
method of construction Is cheap and In
expensive and Is especially designed by the
office of public roads to meet condition
In the southern and southeastern states,
where sand and clay are found In close
proximity.
Two models are used to Illustrate the
construction of gravel roads, one where
the gravel is placed and the foundation
prepared In the same manner as fo,r a
macadam road and the other where the
gravel Is spread on the prepared road
surface from ditch to ditch.
Th Telford model ret n sents a stone
road built with a foundation of heavy
rock set on edge lengthwise across the
road and having rtgular macadam sur
face. A special type of conhtruction In use for
several years In Massachussetta. and
wl Icb. Is Intended to take the placa of
Teirutd" construction la shown by anotlvr
model. This melhod Is called the V
shaped foundation 'road, on account of the
fuel that the foundation slopes toward the
center . Instead of towards the sides. The
foundation is built of field boulders, or
any kind of Inferior rock available. II
Is surfaced with crushed stone ss In
macadam construction.
Barnt Clay Roads.
The burnt-clay model shows the various
steps taken In the building of this type
of road. The burnt clay road was. designed
by the office of public roads for the
Mississippi and other sections of the coun
try, which have an abundance of gumbo
or buck-shot soil and where stone, grav-il,
and other road materials are scarce.
A model fourteen feet In length and three
feet In width Illustrates the construction
of the macadam road according to the
standard fixed by the office of public
roads. This model shows the prepared
foundation, the first layer of crushed
stone, properly rolled, second layer of
smaller material thoroughly rolled, and '.he
finished surface sprinkled with water .nd
thoroughly rolled with a steam roller. An
exact model of a steam roller Is In i p
eratlon on this section of the road.
Near the macadam road model stands
the miniature crushing plant with a quarry
face In' the back-ground. Thla model In
cludes crusher, elevator, screens and bins
for three sisea of stone. The crushes is
In actual operation.
On account of the fact that fsst auto
mobile traffic Is Injuring macadam ruala
throughout the country the office of public
roads has devoted . considerable attention
to the study of various substances which
can be used to ' prevent dust and to
preserve the surface of such roads. K,m.
models are devoted, to this subject. One
showing the surface treatment of an oil
macadam road, one the penetration method
another the macadam saud-lur method,
while the fourth shows the Qladwell
method which is in extensive use In
England. Sections of tar macadam road
built In Washington. l C, in ls72--;-o.
and which are still In use represent the
life of this elass of construction
A series of enlarged photographs, ar
ranged on the walls shov.s roads and
bridges of various types of construction
throughout the United States.

will eclipse any former exhibition of motor
car, motor-cycle and HCiejsorles ever
held In the famous building Is positively
assured by the official list of exhibitor
Just Issued by the Association of Licensed
Automobile Manufacturers und"r whos
auspices tha show is held. The list shows j
a total of different displays of which
there a:e fifty-four exhibits of comple.t ,
cars, berldes 141 exhibits of accessories and i
parts, and twenty-three motorcycle exhlbl'.s. j
Kven with an increase over last year of,
more than M feet of exhibition space, !
which the show managers by ingenious i
methods were able to squerza out of the
garden Interior, there Is not one fool of
space available for exhibition purposes to
be bad in any part of the building at
pres. nt iind there Is a Ion; walling list
of manufacturers who are unxlous to
"climb over the garden wall." This situa
tion is Indeed a striking commentary on
the growth of thj Industry, when It Is
realised that at the first automobile show
In the country, in 1X0. there were, only j
sixty exhibitors who displayed their prou-'
net In the garden.
As in previous years, this show of the ,
standard nmkeis of licensed cars has been
deparimentlxed so that visitor may find
more readily those things which most in

The old days when the motoring

dispatch from London.
. This winter will be remembered as hav

of the Improvement which has been made

furs, such as mink or sealskin, are not
considered hardy enough by the women
who makes a hobby of her motor car and
drives hundreds-of ml es a week. The
most up-to-date coats are made of tiger,
panther, lion or leopard skins.
"Motoring outfits nowadays art- almost
regal," acconllng t a dealer on auto
row. "Every one ran realise how hand out
a leopard skin coat will be If the markings
are arranged to the best advantage.
Some clients ar having their coats mude

that they can be worn In or out of the cur,

The coming out of this car at $1,350
, Is the biggest event In the automobile
world.
You cao't understand the full force
and scope of this statement until
you know what has gone into the
making of thfe "Everitt 30."
The newest factory and the oldest
builders tells the story in a single
phrase.
Experience In building is the only
left-over factor that has gone into
the construction of this car every
thing else brand new! No old ma
chinery has been used In tho build
ing of this car, merely because it
was on hand, and had to be utilized.
The Metzger Motor Car Co. starts
out with a clean slate.
Its officers are the pioneers of the
automobile business. Mr. Wm, Kelly,
i who designed the "Everitt 30,"
worked on the first automobile built
in Detroit.
The officers of this company have
been foremost fh every movement
which has made Detroit the greatest
automobile manufacturing city in the
world. The maohines made by these
men have made gopd on every road
and every kind of a road in this
country. Their names are on the
maker-plates of the leading American
successes.
They saw that a change was com
ing in the automobile business.
They recognized two things of prime
importance.
First, that the demand of 1910
was not for a cheap car,' but for a
high-class car at moderate yes at
lOW COBt.
Second, that the time had about
passed when the automobile manu
facturer could dictate to the public,
owing to the excess of demand, and
say: "Here is the car you get take
it or leave it."
Seeing these two things clearly,
these pioneers sold out their old con
nections, lock, stock and barrel, and
started a new factory to make the
"Everltt 30." '
Perhaps you don't realize what a
brand new factory means to you.
Machinery has to be specially built
to. make the parts of any automobile
model. This machinery is surpris
ingly expensive. Naturally manufac
turers hesitate about improving any
part of their models, because any
change, however small, means tho
change of costly machinery the
throwing out of an expensive ma
chine into the discard, and replacing
it with a still more expensive one.
That is why old established auto
mobile factories often cannot see

their way to making improvements
in their cars which would lessen the
original cost to those who buy them,
lessen the cost of operation, and
make the cars better in many ways.
So, you see, the manufacturer's
stock of machinery is a big element
in blocking progress of Improve
ments, both for himself and for you.
Dut the Metzger Motor Car Co.
made a clean, new start without this
handicap of old machinery. They
were not loaded down with a bolt or
a screw that had to be used, because
they hated to throw it away. They
made their plant and their machinery
to fit the model which they wanted
to produce.
Then these progressive pioneers
woke up to another important angle
of the situation. ': ' -:' , ,
They saw that in the new condi
tion of things the public must be
represented. So they sent out to
the various parts of this country and
called in twelve of the foremost dis
tributers and sellers of automobiles
In the United States. This move is
bound to become historic in the auto
mobile business.
Tt Is the first Instance of the pub
lic invited to participate In the man
ufacture of an automobile.
You know these men. If you do
not know them personally you know
them by reputation.
They are the largest automobile
sales agents and dfstrlbutors in this
country. They have sold annually
for the last ten years an average of
eight million dollars' worth of auto
mobiles. They know every success and
every failure in the business every
kink and quirk, and every kick that
the public has made on every car
from the most expensive foreign im
portation to the cheapest American
model.
These men, whose names appear
below, were Invited to come Into the
enterprise with their knowledge of
conditions, their knowledge of cars,
their knowledge of men and their
capitaj. They were invited because
the prime movers in this enterprise
believed the knowledge of these men
was necessary to the making of the
ideal moderate priced car for 1910.
The "Everitt 30" is the result of
the combined focused knowledge and
experience of all these men.

There is nothing marvelous about
its production. It is only logical and
simple and this is the reason why
it can be sold to you at $1,350 in the
year 1910. Probably in a year or
two from next January it will be
produced or paralleled by every au
tomobile manufacturer in America,
but that cannot happen this year..
For 1910 this car will stand out as
the King and Standard of Its class.
Until the other manufacturers can
discard their old machinery and over
take the "Everitt 30," It must re
main the car by which all others In
its class are measured and judged.
With present equipment no other
manufacturer can produce it or any
thing like It for its price of $1,350.
Every "Everltt 30" that can be
turned out in 1910 has already been
demanded and allotted to the men
whose names are below.
And what are the special merits
of this car made by the oldest build
ers in the newest automobile factory
in America?
Simplicity is the key note of this
car. Its mechanism has been slm
pllfled at every possible point.
Things which could not bo elimin
ated to the clear working advant
age of the car have been consolidat
ed. The "Everltt 30" motor contains
150 fewer parts than Its closest com
petitor. THINK of it 150 less
parts. What does this ele
ment of simplicity mean to
the man who buys the car
and runs it? A much lower
original cost without any
cheapening in the quality of
materials for the manu
facturer can and does put
the same materials into this
machine that you find in
$5,000 machines.
It means simplicity and ease of
operation.
The "Everitt 30" is so simple that
any man' can run it; that the hiring
of a chauffeur is pot a matter of
necessity, as with a car of complex
mechanism, but a matter of conve
nience only. To save a chauffeur's
wages means in many cases the
difference between having and not
having a car.
Again, this simplicity means
grreatly reduced liability to Injury
to parts and greatly increased euse
in making repairs. '
The machine of many parts and
that means our nearest competitor
is a bewildering puzzle to the ordin
ary garage mechanic, to say nothlpgof
the man in the car. Out it is different
decidedly different with the
"Everltt 30."
Suppose one of the connecting rods
needs attention you do not have
to spread down a cloth and establish
a picnic machine shop by the road
side. Hy removing just eight bolts,
the lower half of the crank case is
taken off, and immediate access giv
en to all of the working parts of the
engine, the connecting rod and piston
f. f ,..
removed without disturbing the cyl
inders. One casting for the upper half of
the crank case, the four (4) cylin
ders and the water jacket!
And this element of simplification
of consolidation, of combining two or
more parts into one casting is con
sistently carried out through the car.
The repair bill and the irritating
delays of the road are reduced to a
minimum with the "Everitt 30" be
cause it is so simple and so sound in
its parts.
The double -drop frame is another
important feature. Some expensive
machines have it, but none has car
ried it to quite the perfection of the
"Everitt. 30" which has a five inch
drop, as against 3i inch for any
other competitive ear.' " .'
, This puts the weight of the "job,"
the load, tha center of gravity, close
down to the ground so that the
car will stick to the earth, and not
skid or overturn.
The road traction is an important
matter, and in no other car is it so
perfected as in the "Everltt 30."
On the other hand, the man who
runs on country roads wants a free
clearance. This is accomplished by
designing our axles and steering
mechanism, so that they are not
as near to the ground as are those
of our competitors. In a word, this
car Is made for every kind of driv
ing. It has a geographical adapta
bility that no other car of any price
possesses.
Tkke the matter of weight that,
too, is important in more ways than
one. The "Everitt 30" does not weigh
to exceed 2,20ft pounds or about 300
pounds less than its nearest competi
tor. Tire manufacturers prescribe
weight limits for cars without their
loads.
The "Everitt 30" will take Its load,
and still be almost under 'the pre
scribed limit of weight. You know
what that means it costs a lot less
for tires. And, by the same token,
this light car will run the same dis
tance in the same time as the heav
ier car, and at much lower cost for
fuel. .

can you got so much automobile for
your money as in tho "Everltt 30."
Remember, it la not a cheap cur
elaborated; it is a coutly car focused
by adroit engineering, by skillful cor
ner cutting, by pprcial advantage of
the newest factory and the oldest
builders, down to the low cost of
$1,350. And this has been dona
without the sacrifice of a single
point In quality. Absolutely the b"nt
is to bo found In every part of the
"Everltt 30." It Is nut an uKaembled
machine. It is built In its own fac
tory by specially designed machin
ery, and under the watchful eye of
those who must and do stand back
of it.
This warrants the standardization
of parts, und enables you at any dis
tant time to replace Instantly any
part in your car without special fit
ting. Here Is a car which Is worth w ait- ,
ing for.
Once more we say that the
"Everitt 30" Is the greatest event in
the automobile world. Look into it.
