Place of Honor Given Car for Third Successive Year At Big New York Show.

For the third successive year the Wlllvs-Overland company will occupy the position of honor ht the New \orK automobile show to be hold at the Grand Central palace from December 81 t0 January 8. This was definitely decided at the meeting just held in New York by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce.

The «pao« allotments are based entirely upon the volume of business dona by the oompanies affiliated with the National Automobile chamber of oommerot. This organization includes *11 but one of the prominent pleasure oar manufacturers In the United

HJvery member of the organisation le required to submit a rrorn atatement allowing the actual amount tmslnesa done during the year. The fact that the Wlllye-Over-land oompany has won the coveted honor three tlmee running, leaves no room for doufct a* to which oompany la doing1 trie laryeat rolume of bUBi-

A* one of the highest honors which the National Automobile Cham'ber of Oommeroe oan bestow, It laone for whloh competition Is keen. Each company Is anxious to seoure that particular looatitm in the show which by virtue of Its atvanta«res points out to the puhllo the company's position. It is In reality an official announcement of the fact that the first position winner has sold more oars than any other manufacturer exhibiting at the Grand Central palace.

These big sales ha~ve forced extensive factory additions during the past year at the Overland plant. One of these new buildings alone will contain twenty acres of floor space and will tre nearly three times the size of the original Pope plant when taken over by John N. Willys eight years ago. I

In June, 1915, the factory buildings contained a total of 79 acres of floor space. "When the new additions' are completed there will be 103 acres of floor space available for production purposes. At present the Toledo factory is shipping in excess 500 cars a day and the increased facilities of tho plant will shortly enajble them to reach the 600 mark.

EDISON PREDICTS CHANGE. Some months ago, It was published throughout the united States, that Thomas A. Edison, probably the best known inventor in the world, made the statement that within- a short time, there would be more electrlo current Bold for the charging of storage batteries in elcctric vehicles than was now being consumed for house lighting purposes.

Further, Dr. Charles P. 8teinmets, the electrical wizard, recently made the statement that within the next ten years over a million electric cars would be sold. These prophecies at the time they were made, seemed impossible even to many of those who were olosely allied wltn the industry, as the character of the electric car as made at the time these statements were offered seemed to prohibit the realisation of Jthese prophecies. However, the character of tne electrio car is rapidly changing. Its mileage and speed have been lnoreased and its price greatly reduoed. while its general quality of excellence has been maintained-

This tact Is forcibly In evidence when the product of the Anderson Electrio Car company. manufacturers of the Detroit eieotrlo Is oarefully oonsldered. ry and vast amounts of

DETROI1 Oct. 23.—That America will soon own bodily the entire automobile trade c" Great Britain and such parts of contii.Tjital Europe aa are open to commerce la tiie confident declaration of Ernest A. De Lorenzl, of the Maxwell Motor Co. of London, England, who has been for several days in conference with American officials ol' the parent company.

Mr. De Lorenzl believes that Hie Maxwell company should expand the scope of its export campaign, even to a greater extent than the normal rate of increase provided for in the ailotment of cars in the season's schedule "Euro-pean factories are producing virtually no passenger carrying cars at all for,private consumption," says Mr. Do Lorenzi. "Most of them are working solely on government contracts, building cars adapted for war purposes with various types of body. Some of them are changing their entire plants over to the production or aeroplanes. Touring cars of British make are produced only in such a limited way as to create no impression whatever on the market.

Makers Handicapped.

"British makers are still rurther handicapped by the fact that, unless a re in tracts, they have only the lame, the I halt and the blind anions the na- I tion'S' workmen. The plclc of tlie) British mechanics are all either at the front or at work on government enterprises. "To still further increase the handi-

Stop your car at all boulevard crossings. Watch your speedometers and have them te3ted every 10 days.

Procure and study the city ordinance and the laws of the state pertaining to vehicles.

Stop 10 feet back of a ear while same is discharging or taking on passengers.

What Other Car Could Cold Reason Choose Today?

list put aside your natural enthusiasm for the wonderful performance of'the Cadillac Eight. Forget, if you can, your admiration for its beauty, your longing for its comfort, your confidence in its goodness. Ignore, if you please, the fact that it's wise to choose the car the whole world is copying. Clear your mind of. every old prejudice in favor of the Cadillac and let cold reason choose f©r you. Cold reason says, buy an up-to-date1 for your pocketbook's sake. Cars depreciate fast enough anyway, so avoid the car of a dying type, whose former chief advocates have already discarded it. Today cold reason choose^ a car with V-Type motor. Cold reason says, let the other fellow do the experimenting. It requires more than a desire for more business to perfect a new product in any line. What one concern took years to develop is not likely to be equaled by newcomers in a few months' time. You will note by observation that other manufacturers are finding it out. So cold reason says buy a car with V-Type motor or pay the penalty in depreciation. And buy a car of proved dependability or run the risk of probable dissatisfaction. If cold reason rules, there's only one car for you today—the Eight-cylinder Cadillac. There is simply no other up-to-date car whose performance is really established, ,,
