THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 8, 1917, One of the most interesting ad vertising campaigns of many a season is that now being followed out by the Chandler Motor Car company of Cleveland, manufacturers of ' the Chandler Six. Mr. R. R. McNemar, ocal Chandler distributor, says that le never had any doubt of the value of newspaper advertising, but that his conviction as to the value of such advertising is greater now than ever before. "Chandler advertising this spring," said Mr. McNemar, "has been what the factory calls a fact campaign. Not that Chandler advertising has not al ways been based on facts, but that the advertising this year has empha sized and reiterated certain simple fundamental facts about the Chand ler car which very largely are exclu sive Chandler facts. Valuable Features. "The Chandler offers numerous fea tures found on such cars as the Pack ard, Pierce-Arrow, VVinton, White, Stutz, Mercer and Cadillac. Among them are a cast aluminum crank case, which extends from- frame to" frame at both the front and rear of the mo tor, giving oerfect rigidity to the en gine mounting and saving it from the rack and stress of the road; a silent chain drive; Bosch high-tension magneto; light-running, annular ball bearings in transmission; differential and rear wheels; full floating rear axle with silent spiral bevel differen tial; two-unit starting and lighting systems and many other features of proven excellence. Chandler's Fact-Motor. "Through four years of conscien tious effort, backed up by a previous experience of many years in the build ing of high-priced sixes, the exclusive Chandler motor has been developed and refined to a point approximating perfection. It is a fact-motor, not a claim-motor." The Chandler company in its ad vertising minces no words when it says that not to its knowledge has a professional motor car driver ever made a record with a Chandler Six, but that all the thousands of owners of Chandler Sixes every day are mak ing the kind of records that count records of satisfactory service. Breaks Long Distance Record for Motorcycle The world's record for continuous riding on a motorcycle was broken by Allen T. Bedell, Redlands, Cal., riding a Harley-Davidson twin-cylinder stock machine, fully equipped. Bedell circled the Los Angeles Ascot speedway for a total of 1.153J4 miles in twenty-four hours, breaking the previous international mark set up by "Cannon Ball" Baker in Australia. Bedell also broke the 1,000-mile rec-, ord when he reeled off that distance in 20:42:30, or twenty-one minutes better than the previous time. At the conclusion of his long grind. Be dell felt fine and said that he could continue for another twenty-four hours on the same machine and bet ter his time. If " . I i- s Mr I C S.

AUTO BUYERS NOW GET COMPLETE CAR Standard Equipment 'Includes Many features That Were Formerly "Extras." PATHFINDER AN EXAMPLE It is surprising to those who recall the motor car of some ten or twelve years ago, to note the radical changes that have taken place in what consti tutes "standard equipment." The pur chaser of a car, but a few years ago, found that he had bought the chassis and-body only. Before he could op erate his car with any degree of com fort or safety it was necessary for him to purchase even such essentials as lamps, horn, top, etc However, in these days manufac turers are vieing with each other in the marketing of cars that are com plete as to everv Dossible detail of equipment, so that, instead of spend ing several hundred dollars for items that were once termed "extra equip ment," the purchaser now finds him- selt in possession ot every practical accessory to the requirements of law, convenience, comfort, safety and ap pearance. The Pathfinder touring roadster, from the Indianapolis plant of the Pathfinder company, is a notable ex ample of what, in these latter days, is considered the completely equipped automobile. Of course there are a full complement of electric lamps for front, rear and tonneau, starting and lighting batteries, speedometer, clock, gasoline gauge, electric horn, wind shield and tool equipment. Then, each Pathfinder is equipped with Hartford shock absorbers, thermo stat to - control water temperature, motometer to show that proper mo tor temperature is maintained, Delco starting system, Silvertown cord tires and tire pump.

W. Litchfield, vice president and factory manager. Instructions is to be ' given under the supervision of ex-army officers of long military experience. , The Goodyear factory is in opera tion twenty-four hours of the day, di vided into three eight-hour shifts. The classes in military training have been arranged that each shift of workers may have two hours of drill each week. The company's policy is outlined in the following statement by Mr. Litch field: "The introduction of the eight-hour day into industry sets free additional time for a man to use as he may de sire. He may waste it and spend on extra amusement the money he has tamed, or he may use it for his men. tal and physical development, making him a more efficient and useful citizen. Military Drill Added. "In extending our educaticnal and training courses for those of the lat ter class, we have recently added mili tary drill. We are among those who believe that only by having a demo cratic citizenry, equipped and trained in the use of arms, can we insure the safety and- honor of our republic from foreign aggression and the peace of the future, such as has been our heritage in the past. "Conditioni of the past, which hap pily made military preparedness unnecessary for us now have changed. Depending upon mere untrained num bers to defend our homes against the present forces of other nations, would be as foolish as starting to complete in the manufacture of tires without buildings.-tnachinery and tools or pre vious training." - Dundee Presbyterians ',.'.

EASE at the Wheel . - .. -A , x . In the journey of life there are many short turns, and unless you have self-control you're likely to get into trouble. ' And as .it is in life so it is in an automobile. You must have your controls simple, and close at hand. Place yourself at the wheel of a Marmon 34. You will see at once that to shift your gears you don't have to shift your position. You will find ignition and light ing convenient neighbors and the emergency brake ready for instant use.' This hand-brake enables you to control your car, comfortably and expeditiously, without lifting your foot from the accelerator. It's an ever-ready, every-day brake, emergency or no emergency. The Marmon 34 is as easy to , manage as a kodak is to snap. It starts without a jump and it stops without a jar. It responds to the wheel's slightest hint, and, regard less of speed, holds snug to the road. This spells economy in main , tenance and efficiency in opera tion. And it gives to the hand at the wheel that assured sense of perfect control which makes driv ing not a strain but a relaxation; not a task but a pleasure.
