CONTROL OF SAXON
TO HARRY W. FORD
Hugh Chalmers Disposes of His
Holdings in Company to His
Partner.
CAB SCORES BIG SUCCESS
A deal of bis; slsnlflrance in motor
manufacturing circles has become known
In the announcement by Hugh Chalmers
and Harry W. Ford, that Mr. Ford h
purchased all of Mr. Chalmera' holdings
In the Saxon Motor company. By so do
ing Ford becomes the largest Individual
stockholder and the dominant figure In
the successful Saxon company, which he
lias served as president and general man
ager from Us organisation.
The big stock purchase (Involving a
cash transaction of pOO.OOO) establishes
the Saxon company as an Independent
Institution which. In the space of eight
een months, since It began shipping cars,
has risen to the position of seventh
among all Detroit motor companies, and
tenth among the motor companies of the
entire world In the number of cars built
and sold annually.
The Saxon Motor company was Incor
porated November 1. 191J, by Hugh Chal
mers and eight members of his Chalmers
Motor company organisation. It being Mr.
Chalmers' Idea that his company would
prove a successful buslnes venture and
that the Baxon holdings of his younger
associates would prove valuable and
profitable to them. The original organ
isers, besides Mr. Chalmers and Mr.
Ford, were Lee Counselman, Percy Owen,
George W. Dunham, H. H. Ptnney, C. A.
Pfeffer, a A. Woodruff. O. C. Hlnokley.
Messrs. Finney, Pfeffer, Woodruff and
Hinckley sold their interests some time
ago. Mr. Owen Is vice president of the
Saxon company, and Mr. Counselman j
ana air. uunnara are aireciors, dui noi
actively engaged In the management of
the business.
"I have every confidence tn the suc
cess of the Baxon company," said Mr.
Chalmers, "My only reason for selling
my Interest was to be perfectly free to
give my entire time to the Chalmers
company. Upon deciding to sell my Saxon
stock, I was delighted, in view of my
long association with Harry Ford and
my friendship for him, to give him an
option to buy it. Harry Ford, I be
lieve, Is already recognised by those who
know hhn as one of the best all-around
executives in the automobile Industry.
For rapidity of operation, skillful, and
efficient use of all the materials given
him to work with. I think few have ex
ceeded In this line of work the record
made by Ford. His showing with the
Saxon company speaks for Itself, and
I am proud to have a graduate of the
Chalmers' organisation score such a
success.
The various officials of the Chalmers
company, who with Mr. Chalmers . or
ganized the Saxon company, were unani
mous in selecting Mr. Ford as president
of the new company at the time of its
organisation, and have loyally supported
him In his work throughout.
At first the company specialized , on
the Saxon roadster, a two-pa ssnnger car
selling at S396, then the lowest-priced
automobile made. Since that time,, the
manufacture of the roadster has been
continued, but the line has been widened
by the addition of the 7K6 Saxon six
cylinder touring car. This latter car was
brought out at the New Tork show last
January and created as big a sensation
as the Baxon roadster did the previous

OODRICH Tires have thus far been ' 'knovm' '
only to People who used them.
Tn thpafl t.hflv have hfn known chieflv
by the uniformity of Mileage they delivered, per dollar
invested by the user.
Also by the "Fair List" price Propaganda, of
the B. F. Goodrich Co. which this year saved some
$25,000,000 to U. S. Car-Owners, through uncovering
the "Padded Price-List" imposition on Tire Consum
ers and Dealers.
BUT, henceforth "Goodrich Tires" will be
known at sight even to people who never
hope to own a Car.
Known by the fact that the standard Goodrich
Fabric Tire will have the same stylish BLACK Tread
appearance as the aristocratic "Silvertown" Tire (which
cannot yet be turned out in half the quantity the
Market calls for.)
No increase over the reasonably low Goodrich
Fair-List Price as established, is asked for the new,
and highly distinctive, Goodrich Black Tread Tire.
So, why not have your Car Up-to-the-minute, when
you can equip it with these very " smart" Gobdrich
Barefoot'7 Tires.
AND here fs how these Barefoot Tires act
in Automobiling,
When the weight of the car bears on
the clinging, "Hyper-Rubber" in their Tread3, and the
power is applied to go ahead or reverse, the stretch in
the "Hyper-Rubber" Sole of the Goodrich "Barefoot".
Tire acts as a sort of Lubricant between the Fabric
Structure of the Tire and the Road,
Then the Hyper-Rubber "Toes," of the Goodrich
Safety-Tread Tire CLING to the pavement (instead of
grinding against it) just as your Bare Foot would cling
to a slippery surf ace without Grind, and so, with the
minimum of Frictional Heat or Wear for maximum
Traction.
Goodrich "Hyper-Rubber" is also made into Good
rich Motor Cycle, and Bicycle, Tires, as well as into

Just !U arrests were made ameng

Ixua. Mo., for violation of the heal
light ordinance. St. Louis' law. In sub
stsnce. reads: "The light from the auto
headl'ghta must be directed toward the
ground, so that It will not be more than
three feet high seventy-five feet in front
of the car.' The polloe order suwle
mentlne. this, Is: "All motorists must
go to the city hall and hare their lamps
adjusted and get tag to show t!iat the
adjustment has been made."
The Omaha ordinance differs from the
St. Louis law, by allowing a slit foot ele
vation to the shaft of light at not to
exceed 100 feet. There's room for Im
provement In the Omaha law, aa the Kt
Louis ordinance Is a copy of the Cleve

considered the best ever written.

More Good Clefc Work.
"Maine convicts do as much work as

sortatton. "I consider the working of

able to do a day's work whan they get

Here's the wsy a foxy motorist evaded
the traffic law In an eastern city: Jones
stepped Into a shoe store to get a pair
of shoes, leaving his oar parked In front
of a fire hydrant, which was against the
law. Coming out of the store he not lord
a cop taking his oar number. Jonee took

chief that his oar was stolen, and then
beat It down an alley to his office. Ten

that the car had keen driven TS.Ooft miles
and was "still a dam good car." His
friend laughed and aald it would prob

Mclntyre said, "Here's W that 111 gam
ble that I can drive up Davenport hill

took the car out The car never balked
at any point, but Junt rolled right along
as If It were a brand new model.
"This la a credit to any automobile,"
said Mclntyre's friend, "and I am sur

have learned something about automo

won't question the ability of the Stearns
products, at least. In the future.'
