80 HORSEPOWER
AND ECONOMY IS
COLEJCEYNOTE
:14 Miles to Gallon Gas and
15,000 Miles On Original
Tire Equipment Other
Features.
j Striking individuality, involving a
touch of futurity, is exemplified in
the assemblage of Cole Aero-Eight
models, which are to occupy a place,
of prominency at the Automobile
show this week.
Not in many seasons has a single
exhibitor displayed a line of motor
cars embracing such startling inno
vations as are found in the Aero
eights, shown by the Traynor Auto
tympany, Omaha Cole distributors.
"The Aero-tight models represent
marked departure from the staid
conventions of the past, both in en
gineering and design," says Lou J.
Traynor, manager of the Traynor
company. "Each of the nine models
is a creation which distinguishes it
as a forerunner of a new. vogue in
motor car building and recommends
itseit immediately to .the discrimi
nating.
1 Eighty lforse Power.
A car of 80 horse-power, which
averages 15,000 miles or more on the
original tire equipment and travels
from 12 to 14 miles consistently on
a gallon of gasoline, naturajly is go
ing to gain widespread attention."
Originality is disclosed through
out the entire Aero-Eight line from
the twopassenger roadster to the
seven-passenger towing car. In
design alone each odel represents
the latest develop! nts in tnotor car
fashions, transcending all previous
Cole achievements. Mechanically,
they provide an expanded range of
performance and an increased scope
of possibilities at a far lower cost
of operation than heretofore has
been encountered, Cole officials de
clare. The lines of the Cole Aero-Eight
are distinctly aerotype. The large
radiator, the massive cowl effect, the
straight lines of the body and the
manner in which it rests upon the
frame, identify it and mark it as a
distinctive engineering advance
ment. Speed and Comfort.
'Hie Cdle Aero-Eight line com
prises three open and one all-season
models. The- open cars, namely
tourstcr, roadster and sportster im
mediately impress with their style
0;iul obvious power. -'
The Tourster, a sevcn-passcnger
model, bespeaks speed, comfort and
economy." Tin; Aero-Eight roadster
is replete with novel features and
conveniences which appeal to those
seeking a car with individuality. The
Sportster, as the1 name implies, is
distinctly a sport model, capable of
unusual speed and power and at the
same time providing ample comfort
artd luxury for four passengers.
The Aero-Eight all-season model
at the- show is the sport sedan,
equally adapted to touring on the
.open roads and to town driving.

Better Valve Action
At the same time that you grind
11 the valves, clean the stems of all
forcisn matter and make them
bright and shiny. . You will get bet
ter valve action if these oarts are
kept in good condition. A. good
wav to remove all Errit and carbon
from the. stems is to clamp the head
of the valve in a vise between two
blocks of wood and wrap a narrow
strip of emery cloth around the
stan. Pull the strip back and forth;
at the same time move it up atid
down on the stem. A few strokes
will thoroughly clean the stem, but
you must be careful not to score the
metal bv pulling the emerv cloth too
tight. Wipe the head clean of all
particles that might fall down on it,
before putting the part back in the
cylinder. Motor Life,

Production figures of the Cleve
land Automobile company of Cleve
land, O., makers of Cleveland Light
Six motor cars, show that twice as
many cars were produced during
January as in the previous month,
according to a factory statement) re
ceived by the Card-Adams Motor
company, 2421-23 Farnam street, lo
cal Cleveland distributors.
Every effort is being made to so
speed up production as to double the
January figures during February,
factory orhcials state.
Four-Story Addition.
A laree four-storv addition to the
present factory is nearing comple
tion and is expected to be ready for
use bv the middle of March, in
creasing capacity pi the original
plant, completed nearly a year ago,
by one-half. When this new annex
is in operation the Cleveland Auto
mobile company hopes to reach its
originally planned production sched
ule of ISO cars a day. j
The new addition will be, 200x80
feet, four stories high and this, with
the original plant, will give the fac
tory a four-story building, 800x80
feet, with 256,000 square feet of
floor space for manufacturing pur
poses. The plant is located on a
19:acre tract on the Nickle Plate
railroad main, line, with several spur
tracks runnihg around the factory.
Road-Tested Motor.
Because of its exclusive features,
power, efficiency, flexibility, beauty
of design and comfortable riding
qualities, the new Cleveland Light
Six occupies a conspicuous place in
the light car field.
The CleVeland motor is of ex
clusive design and is the result of
six years of careful study. This
motor was refined and perfected
while in successful operation on a
very large number of test cars not
merely factory block tests, but in
actual road tests wherever severe
road conditions could be found. The
motor embodies a great many fea
tures found in high priced cars.
Most Unmannerly
An English automobile publica
tion in a recent editorial thinks, "It
is time something was done about
the use of the cutout." Particularly
in London, the writer complains, the
cutout has become "most unman
nerly." Wonder what the writer would
say, at -2 o'clock in the morning,
if he lived in a New York apart
ment house with a public garage in
the back yard. Motor Life.

HERE is a powerful spotlight that can be reeled out
to a 'distance of 12 feet. Autoreelite fits any .wind
shield and lights up any part of the road.
Two twists oi the thumb and linger release the lamp
and the 'motorist has a convenient "trouble" light for
making repairs at night or in dark garages. The auto
matic reel works like an ordinary window shde. 1
Ask your dealer for -"Autoreelite," or if he cannot supply you, write
us direct. ,It serves a double purpose, yet costs no more than ordinary
spotlights. '

A Better. Battery for Less
18 Months Guarantee
Features Not Found In Other Batteries
The Chain Battery Inside Cover (a patented exclusive feature) prevents the acid,
from coming in direct contact with the outside cover. A plunger placed in the"
- i opening and held in place by the rubber vent is what prevents the acid from
i. spraying out ontqthe terminals and battery case. .'.'-
It is plainly evident that the life of the battery depends largely on the durability ,
of the plates-r-particularly the Positive Plates. Our positive plates combine the f
two absolutely necessary qualities, hardness and porousness of the active mate-;
rial. If they were not hard they would crumble quickly. If they were hard and :
not porous, they would buckle. With this combination our plates will stand up. ;'
WE GUARANTEE that the plates will not buckle within eighteen months. .
WE GUARANTEE that if you have any trouble with your plates buckling, 6r
shorting or any interior trouble due to buckling plates or. shedding material, we
will repair free, of charge. ' . . . ' - - ; .
