Yellowstone Tour
Marks Birth of New
Scenic Auto Route
Piloted by the Chalmers six-.?0.
which blazed the Twin-Cities to Yel
lowstone route two months ago,
eighty-five tourists in twentv-seven
cars checked in at Gardiner on the
evening of August 1 and enrolled as
enthusiastic boosters of the National
Park highway.
Most remarkable among the
features of the four was the fact that
many of the roads encountered had
been laid down almost over night.
When the Chalmers Pathfinder blazed
the trail in May, detours for wash
outs were a matter of course. Yet
six weeks later the big tour went
through on schedule over 1.200 miles
it road closely akin to boulevards. The
Chalmers six-jO, which piloted the
tour and the entire distance averaged
over twenty-three miles an hour for
the trip, although no attempt was
made to register unusual speed.
Studebaker Makes
Efficiency Record
Where 11,000 men produced 37,000
cars in 1913, today 7,000 men are pro
ducing at the rate of 100,000 cars an
nually. Such is the record in efficiency that
has been obtained in the Studebaker
factories. Between 1913 and the pres
ent date, as experts visiting the plants
have observed, a veritable transfor
mation has taken place.
One of the wonders of the automo
bile industry has been the advent of
large production, which brought with
it the advantages of quantity pur
chasing at lower prices, and made ad
visable the introduction of machines
that were expensive in first cost, but
more than paid for themselves within
a year in the savings they effected.
Quantity production such as the
Studebaker corporation employs not
only permits of lower prices, but also
better values. The overhead is cut
down, due to the fact that it is dis
tributed over a great number of cars.
The overhead on the cost of building
the present Studebaker models has
been reduced to a low figure, being
50 per cent of what it was three
years ago.
Packard Employes
At Plattsburg Camp
Twenty-five office and factory em
ployes of the Packard Motor Car
company reported at Platt.sburg, N.
Y., Friday to take the full four weeks'
course in military training. They
will receive their regular pay while at
Plattsburg, and those who are en
titled lo vacations will receive them

A special effort has been made to
se'ect mi ll who are fitted to become
good soldiers. Prophylaxis treatment
against typhoid fever is given to the
men at the factory before they start
lor the camp.
The Packard company early in the
summer donated ten specialty
equipped trucks and a crew of twelve
men to look after them and drive
them, tor use at Plattsburg. These
have been kept busy doing the heav
hauling for the camp and playing the
part that the motor truck plays in
actual warfare.

that is possible, the quality of Jeffery
cars and trucks."
Mr. Nash's friends, those closest to

Cole Company on
Market With Ail
Year 'Round Model
The Cole Motor Car company has
announced an all-year-round type of
eight-cylinder car that bids fair to
revolutionize the building of medium
priced motor vehicles. The Cole
Springfield body is designed to give
the owner all the advantages of both
a luxurious touring car and a costly
limousine in one car. which sells for
$2,195. This car, which is a seven-pas-scnger
automobile, is called the Cole
Springficld Toursedan.
There are two other Cole models
equipped with the new Cole-Springfield
body. One is known as the Tour
coupe, selling for $2,195, and the other
is the Cole Towncar, listed at $2,495.
"The Cole-Springfield 'Eight' is
merely another step in the manufac
ture of automobiles to satisfy the buy
ing public and give motor car pur
chasers the greatest possible value for
their money," said A. F. Knoblock,
general manager. "We have added it
to the Cole line, because it completely
fills a want long left by the motoring
public for a really practical and sen
sible, all-weather, all-purpose car.
"Besides its weather advantages,
one of its most important features lies
in the fact that there is absolutely
nothing about the body to warp, rat
tle or squeak, and it has none of those
annoying faults so often found in the
so-Called 'detachable tops' or the
bothersome, flapping side curtains.
The top of this car is permanent and
it adds a most striking, graceful ind
beautiful appearance to the car.
"For rain or snow or extreme cold,
the Cole-Springfield body is ideal. For
hot, stuffy days when relief can only
be found in driving through the open
air, this car, open at all sides, is un
surpassed for comfort. It's the car
which was used so attractively in the
winter time."

Paige Fairfield
Shows Mettle in
Endurance Tests
Paige men are pointing to two re
cent achievements that throw a flood
of light on the mechanical qualities of
I'aige cars. This summer a well
known Detroit owner drove his Paige
Fairfield for at least twelve weeks and
for a distance of about 5,000 miles
with only two quarts of water re
quired for the radiator in addition to
the initial filling.
The Detroiter's experience covered
long road tours that took him to New
York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and
oiher eastern points, and then back
to Detroit. The radiator cap, when
he left Detroit, was screwed down
tight with a Stillson wrench and
could only be removed with the same
tool a task that was performed just
twice in the time specified. In each
instance the radiator took only about
a quart of water.
The other achievement was the
well-known mountain climbing stunt
of a Paige Fairfield "Six-46" the car
that battled with blizzards, snow, 40
per cent grades and numerous other
obstacles in its ascent of Mount Hood,
Ore., reaching a point on the mountain
side three miles beyond that attained
by any other car.

Three Ancient j Stearns Keeps On
Autos Are Brought I Despite Fact That
Into Limelight Its Fan is Spiked
Three old Haynes cars, built before
the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury, offer some interesting compar
isons. These are cars which have
been offered for the new Haynes
"Tight Twelve," which the Haynes
Automobile company announced
would be given for the oldest car now
in service.
All the three cars resemble each
other, yet no two arc the same. In
the embryonic stages of the automo
bile industry, every car had enough
improvements for a present day new
model. Each car is built to accommo
date four passengers, and in appear
ance they are typical of the time when
the automobile was more a horseless
carriage and less a motor convey
ance. Each is in fact an old fashioned
surrey, reinforced in frame, and pro
vided with its own means of locomo
tion by a two-cylinder opposed motor
in place under the rear scat and ar
tacned to the rear axle by a drive
chain.
New Factory Manager for
Briscoe Motor Company
Announcement has been made by
Production Manager S. H. Humphrey
of the Briscoe Motor corporation ol
the appointment of A. C. Leverton,
formerly general superintendent of
the Chalmers company, as factory
manager. Mr. Leverton is well known
in automobile manufacturing circles
and is a man who has won a name for
himself in the production end.
.1. A. Mclntyre of the Mclntyre
Auto company relates an interesting
happening which concerns one of his
Stearns-Knight enthusiasts.
I 'iiiii purchasing his car the
Steams-Knight owner straight way
hied hiinsell to the Automobile club
tn purchase a shining Automobile
club emblem. In bis haste to get out
where he could step on the accelera
tor Mr. Owner neglected to notice
how long the bolts were which fas
tened the Automobile club emblem
to bis radiator.
After driving 600 miles with the
thermometer at 95 degrees to 100 de
grees, the owner came in to see Mac.
Said the car didn't seem quite up to
standard, but he couldn't rind out
what was the matter.
I'pon looking under the hood the
first thing they noticed was a long
bolt from the Automobile club em
blem which completely blocked the
fan.
All in all, the man felt pretty happy
when he realized that the Stearns
Knight cooling system was perfect
enough to keep the car running in
good shape during the extreme hot
weather with the fan spiked.

Michelin Tires Are
In Great Demand by
Automobile Owners
Mr. (ilassou of the Omaha Auto
Supply company, who have recently
taken on the Michelin line, says that
l lie demand for M iehelin tires and
tubes not only exceeds all expecta
tions, hut is actually larger than the
factories can a conn nod ate.
According to Mr. t llass-on, the
Michelin has an immense number of
followers:, who have been buying oth
er tires because their favorite was not
obtainable in Omaha, but immedi
ately follow ing their an noun cement
in The Miiiha Bee, they began to
lloi l around for tires and tubes.
"And the experiences they have hod
w ith Michelin," says Mr. GiasSuii,
"makes us feel proud to distribute a
line so well thought of. 1 have not
y t talked with a single Michelin user
who had a grievance, or who was not
satisfied with the quality and service
ot liis tire.

Special Heels for Women
Who Drive the Automobile
Superficial thinkers would he apt
tti assume that t lie woman who drives
her own car must be ''well heeled."
but driving a car has been found to
be very hard on a woman's shoes, and
the reverse has heretofore been the
case. The constant changing of the
position of the tret resulting in scuf
fing the heel and counter.
However, (hanks to the ingenuity
of a Los Angeles institution, it is
now possible for the woman who
drives to be "well heeled" sartorically,
as well as financially.
C. H. Wooltelt company, proprietors
of the Hootery, Los Angeles, retailers
of smart shoes for women, have per
fected and patented a little device
from their custom department known
as Johnson's auto heel protector,
which affords perfect protection for
both heel and counter. It slips on
and off very easily and is held in place
by atl elastic band in front of heel
and across instep.
