In the cw S'ork metropolitan

surpassed the mark of good esteem
in which it lias always been held,
and the , same condition exists

This It a Picture of the Car That Did 20.7 Miles on a Gallon of Gasoline,
After receiving several threatening
letters from the president of the
Bootleggers' union and being carded
with the list of prospects on file at
the office of the Highjackers, Limit
ed of Omaha, Dean Weaver, sales
manager of the Scott-Bury company,
decided it was high time "to "declare
himself" as to the purpose of the
suspicious looking container which
is attached to the side of a certain
Packard single six, seen on the
streets of Onuha often.
In order to dispell all doubts and
eliminate, the ray of hope which has
sprung up in the minds of the thirsty
ones. Weaver had an explanation
printed on each side of the con
tainer. .- '
The message reads: "Nol This is
not a private still nor a patent gin
mixer merely a container for one
gallon of gasoline, officially proven
to be enough to run a Packard single
six more than 20 miles."
The container which caused all the
disturbance is connected with the
carburetor through a coiled copper
tube, and when anyone doubts the
mileage which Packard single six
drivers obtain from a gallon of gaso
line the aforesaid suspicious looking
container is filled' with gasoline and
the car driven until this gasoline is
consumed. Recently, with a party
of newspaper men as guests,- Pack
ard single six registered 20.7 miles
before the gasoline was consumed.

national automobile shows, an honor
conferred upon Buick by all other
automobile manufacturers "who are
members of the National Automo
bile Chamber of Commerce, in rec
ognition of the fact that Buick had
done the greatest volume of busi
ness during the previous year.
As each year has since rolled
around, BuicK has been in the lead.
Not only for, a short period does it
lead all others, but year after year
its business . constantly increases,
with the result that the Buick ex
hibit will be found this year occupy
ing the same space at the shows it
has occupied for the past few years.
It is significant' lo' note that the
figures on which the award for the

builder of six-cylinder cars" in the
world. ,'.

Automobile Business in
Johannesburg Improves
General business is languishing in
Johannesburg, but there is an up
ward trend in the demand for motor
cars, with country districts display
ing more interest, according to the
National Bank of South Africa, Ltd.
One of the most substantial and
encouraging evidences of a return of
better business conditions in the
south is furnished by the tralnload
order of Reos which has just been
placed by the Reo;Va:n Motor com
nsnv rf Tirlcsonvilte. According to
advises received by J. M. Opper of
the ones-UDoer company, ra-
mediate shipment is requested nd it
is understood that the units will be
about equally divided between speed
wagons and passenger cars.
The Jacksonville distributors have
consistently refused to admit that
there was any business depression in
their territory and they have gone
ahead mo'st optimistically with results
which are really remarkable.
A trainload of motor cars sent
southwards would be a significant
event under fairly normal conditions.
A trainload of automobiles and trucks
sent into the Jacksonville territory at
this particular time, when it is gen
erally admitted that business in the
southern states is not all that it might
be, lends a most encouraging aspect
to the order.
Harvard Graduate Becomes .
U. S. Motorized Minstrel
Charles Sceger, Harvard '08, com
poser, and brother of Alan Seeger,
late war poet, has become a motor
ized minstrel, .according to the New
York Times. He and his wife, who
is a violinist, have been touring the
country with their three boys in an
automobile with caravan trailer.
They have been giving concerts
along the broad highway, from
North Carolina to Maine.
New Jordan Car,
Motor, Speeds Up
Plant Production
Announcement of the new Jordan
car, including a new and exclusive
motor at lower price, has resulted
in doubling the production of the
Jordan factory at the season of
the year when production usually
falls off.
The Tordan comnanv Is regulat
ing production in accordance with
salts reported week by week by dii-1
tributors. The production for 0i
tobcr and November will exceed by
30 per cent the total production of
tne tniru quarter ot tne year.
Confirmed orders from distribu
tors indicate that the production for
the fourth quarter will be about
twice that of the third quarter.
New Machinery and Lower
Wages Cut Auto Repair Co6t
Installation of new repair and
overhauling and a reduction in
wages to mechanics have resulted in
t great decrease in repair work
charges by the J. . Hansen Cadil
lac company.
Tower hoists have been installed
which lilt up cars so that mechanics
can stand under them and make re
pairs. A pneumatic gasoline spray
system is used for cleaning mechan
isms. Springs are greased by expand
ing the leaves instead of by dis
mounting them.
These ,and other improvements
have resulted in a cutting of time on
repair and overhauling, 20 to 25 per
cent, with an even larger cut on
prices charged.
Mexican Automobile Market
Is More Than Double 1920
Exports of motor cars and trucks
to Mexico for the first eight months
of 1921 are 237 per cent of the same
period last year, says United States
Department of Commerce.
For delivering bricks, a . motor
truck has been designed with a bodv
that travels in such a way as to un
load its contents neatly piled. .
