COLE COMPANY OFFERS V DISTINCTIVE NEW MODELS

it's new all-season lotor Car company pre-

announcing Motor Car company of automobiles Which

cars, the Cole sents a series afford distinctly new advantages In en closed car design.

They are a marked improvement over the conventional types of the past, and give to the" enclosed equipages characteristics which formerly were s#sociated only with cars of the open type.

There are six models in the line of Cole Aero-Eight all-season cars—the Sportosine. the Sportsedan, Sportcoupe, the

spoi

tt\e Toursdean, the Tourosins and the TOwncar. The obvious newness of these six cars, which more than substantiate Cole's reputation for building automobiles which are a bit ahead of the times, is revealed in the flush panel construction employed throughout. This eliminates the overhanging of the superstructure, adds strength to the design of th« cars, eliminates permanently many of the Inherent limitations of enclosed car use and introduces a new beauty line that if Instantly appreciated.

In appointments, the new AeroEight all-season cars are a decided departure by way of completeness. Automatic window regulators are used throughout, and so cleverly are the glass panels Installed that they may be dropped down Into the lower body panels, and the car thrown almost completely open for summer driving. Other refinements are numerous. The upholstery is tn mohair velvet, and in every case Is of a color to harmonise with the exterior finish of the car.

The Sportsedan is a swagger creation. It is a four-door, four-passenger model, in which the rear quarter sections are solid and have octagonal windows. The Sportosine comblpes the dignity and comfort of a toy limousine with that of a diminutive sedan. It is distinctly a sport car and the adjustable glbss partition between the front and rear compartments is a novel addition It has a seating capacity of six.

The Aero-Eight Sportcoupe is entirely new in Its conception. There Is space for four passengers in it. In design it strikes an entirely new note.

The Tourosine is essentially a chauffeur driven car. The partition between the front and rear compartments insures tonneau privacy, although It may be lowered completely out of view into the back of the front seat. The Tour sedan is a spacious famtlv sedan— counterpart of the Tourosine with the exception of the central glass partition.

Both the Tourosine and the Toursedan embody the new Cole vacuum storm proof windshield. So designed that there is always an unobstructed vision space on a level with the driver's eyes, this windshield Is so constructed as to create a suction of air from within the car, assuring perfect ventilation regardless of weather conditions.

The Towncar Is' custom-made throughout, and reflects the personal taste of the, owner. It is one of the most distinctive exponents of serotype design.

The new Cole Aero-Eight all-season cars are furnished either in American nag blue or aero-srray, with upiholstery to match. And those who drive them are not confined to driving on boulevards, for their new construction makes them practicable for touring as well.

AIL ABOARD THE TOLEDO DOINGS

It is only a little jaunt to Toledo from Terre Haute, so If this is a pretty good description of you, pet "out your tweed suit, your golfing cap and the old traveling kit—not forgetting your Keeplt Kold bottle well filled with iced tea and hop to it. It is a simple jaunt when you know how. If you have an automobile blue book, of course it is easier, for you can figure your running time, your stops, your hotels, your gasoline expense and other incidentals of your trip from soup to nuts. The route to Toledo will take you through Indianapolis, Muncie, Collna. Ijima, Findlay, Fostorla and then right up to the big arena. Reports received at the Tribune office regarding the roads to Toledo say that they are in fairlygood condition, and that fast time can made the entire distance. •I

NINTH STREET CORNER HAS

NEW SIGN

rge Fischer, of the "Busy Ninth Corner," has a niw si«u hanK«id

Geor

Street Corner, ing on his building at Ninth rf!id Wabash avenue. It conveys the word to passing motorists that Fisk tires are now sold by Fischer. (Jeorge has just recently added the complete Fisk

line

and he will sell t-hese in connection with the Michelins that he has had for the past year. Fischer is very enthusiastic over his good fortune 0n obtaining the agency for the Fisk, and says that there is no higher tire quality than the Fisk. The t^g button tread on the Fisk gives the motorist real anti-skid protection at afl times, while additional safety against side slipping is provided by a rib of rubber that extends around the tread on both sides. Fisk non-skids are the only automobile tires made that furnish such complete antl-skld protection on all kinds of roads in

all

kinds of

weather. Mr. Fischer says that he has added many new accessories to his already large stock in the last few weeks and will continue to stock everything lines and general good looks o£ the easy for the car owner.

FEERLESS FORD STARTERS ABE SELLING FAS?

Mr. K. H. 8nyder, who Jost a ehort time ago opened a sales room at 327 Ohio street for the sale of the Peerless starters for Ford cars, says that he finds It impossible to g*et enough of the starters to supply the local demand. The Peerless has been on the market for some time and In other parts of the country where It has been on sale for a longer time than it has here it has proven to be one of the most popular accessories on the market. Many people object to buying a Ford for the reason that it has no starter and do not want to be bothered with th© inconvenience of cranking by hand, but sinbe the Peerless has shown its real worth as a never-fail-ing means of getting the engine to performing its duties regardless of weather conditions the Ford is more popular than ever. Mr Snvder savs that the difficulty of obtaining starters will not last much longer, as he received word that the factory is now working nicht and day to fill orders. Labor conditions are reported much better by the manufacturers and the failure to secure morkmen for the factory that has held up production is now past.
