BABY Of PILOT FOLY OOUTAinS STURDY STUFF

Small Car to Retail at Lower Price Shows Some Staunch Qualities Which Made Reputation.

George Seidel Announces Change in Selling Plan . Under Management of Joseph W. Conner. Richmond and Wayne County motorists will soon bare the pleasure of seeins and testing the new Pilot. Six unquestionably the snappiest,, classiest car ever turned out by an ; Indiana manufacturer. The first sample car will be completed, tested and ready for the road in about two weeks. In producing this smaller greaterdemand type of six cylinder car that will retail at $1100.00 the Pilot Motor Car la not deviating one lota from the standard policy that has made for Pilot success. It will be built of only the best materials and will receive the same care and attention to detail as the Pilot Six Fifty-five and Six Seven-ty-five which two latter cars are recognized as second to none regardless

or price. Contains Good Stuff.

Tti n "RIt TPnrtv-fivA" to use the

trade name given it by the manufac

turers, must not toe classed witn me large number of so-called "light" or "cheap" sixes with which the auto market is now swamped. True, the car is comparatively light in weight it will tip the scales at approximately 2400 pounds but it is Just as staunch and sturdy and possesses as much reserve power as any Pilot car ever built. In general exterior appearance it represents the "last word" in motor . rnr dMlarn. The bodV is the full

streamline called "yacht line" by

some and this effect is further heightened by keeping the top of the back of the front seat on a level with the cowl and the sides of the car. The hood is long and tapering. Furthermore, every buyer can follow his own taste in the finish of the car. In short the new Six Forty-five is destined to be an "individual car." Design Are Latest. It will be made In two body designs one a five passenger touring the other a three passenger or "get chummy" roadster in which the third passenger rides on an individual seat in the body of car directly back of the driver and passenger in front. Both body designs are the very latest and are sure to meet with popular approval. The price list of $1100.00 is of course a big innovation for Pilot the lowest previous price at which any Pilot car ever was sold being $1885. Buyers of the Six Forty-five will at once discover, however, that the Pilot standard of quality has not been lowered. The new figure of $1100.00 is made possible through a trebled output, short cuts in manufacturing and the smaller size of the entire car. Change Selling Plan. Coincident with the production of the new Six Forty-five comes an important change in the sales department. Heretofore Pilot cars have been sold through the Pilot Car Sales Co., the Pilot Motor Car Co. being the manufacturers only. This arrangement has now been discontinued and henceforth Pilot cars will be marketed through branches and distributors established by the Pilot Motor Car Co. direct, Mr. Seidel has assumed active management of all the Company's business and Joseph W. Conner has been appointed Sales Manager. Mr. Conner was formerly advertising manager for Apperson Bros, at Kokomo and more recently district sales manager for the Leyman-Buick Co. of Cincinnati, Buick distributors for Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. He has a wide and varied experience in motor car selling and has a large acquaintance and friendship with motor car dealers throughout the country. Pilot sales are to be vigorously prosecuted and in a large way a limited advertising appropriation has already been set aside but in this field the Pilot Company will move conservatively and carefully, preferring to add to the already large Pilot following thru Car Value and Pilot service and satisfaction to Pilot owners rather than thru extravagant advertising.

RAIN PUTS DAMPER ON BASEBALL PLANS FOR S. A. L. NINES

These are indeed hard days for the baseball managers. Rain has put the kibosh on the games, and if the present weather continues, it will be a hard matter to pl&y Out the schedule. Apparently it was a wise move on the part of the S. A. L. to cut its season down to fifteen games and if present conditions cfintinue they will have difficulty in

finishing that number before the snow flies. . . . .. .... .

All hope of playing: today was abandoned at an early hour. Had the sun come out strongly it .would not

grounds were seaa 01 mud.

Local fans were disappointed that they did not get an opportunity to see the West Baden Sprudela and Richmond teams get together yesterday, but again rain dominated and- drove the Sprudels to Cincinnati, where they were booked to play today. It is possible that the Sprudels may return here at a later date, i Weather permitting, Richmond will , play Williamsburg tomorrow at Ath

WAYNE WORKS ' BUILDS LIGHTER STRONGER CAR Manufacturers of Richmond Auto Eliminate Many Parts and Simplify 1916 Brake Construction.

. Production is being rushed as much as possible at the plant of the Wayne

works on the 1916 model car, the de

mand for which, even this easly In the season, is overwhelming.

' The Wayne works' engineers have

paid particular attention this year to

wards developing the type of car

wbic his - acknowledged to be the standard car of the. future; namely, the car of reasonably light weight, but with no sacrifice of power, comfort, strength or durability. The lightening of the weights has been the chief focus of attention of automobile engineers for the last year or so and the Wayne works' 1916 design, although not yet publicly announced, shows to what an extent this factor can be secured by clever engineering and the use of materials which, while lighter in weight, are. at the same time, actually stronger than the heavier materials used in the past. The chief points which are noticed in the new Wayne works car which reveal the purpose of the engineers in designing a compact car free from excess weight, are these: Parts Eliminated. 1. In the new Wayne works power plant, . the transmission is bolted through to the fly wheel housing, thus insuring absolute alignment and enabling the use of a transmission with shorter .shafts and much lighter case. 2. The starting motor is bolted through a flange direct to the arm of the crank case, thereby eliminating the weight of the starter case, plate, chain housing. 3. The use of the new pressed steel frame of special analysis steel reduces the weight of the frame greatly, while in no way lessening its strength nor rigidity. 4. A new layout of the brake rods with absolutely straight pull from the equalizer bars,"; -:;does entirely away with the brake counter abaft with its arms and levers. ' 'v ' 5. A great many body parts formerly made of wood are now made of

pressed steel, making the parts much lighter in weight and yet is actually several times stronger than the previous construction. 6. The 1916 chassis shows a great improvement over the 1915 in its simplicity, clean-cutness and accessibility.

FORT WAYNE BOXER WILL ENTER ROPES WITH YOUNG SMITH

Arrangements are about completed for the first boxing show of the season by Manager Billy Benson and it will be held at Eagles' hall during the week of September 12. Kid Nichols of Fort Wayne, has been matched to take on Cy Smith if the latter is in condition to fight. While in training for a fight at Cam

bridge City, September 2, Cy dislocated his shoulder and was forced to cancel the date. He expects, however, to be in shape to battle here at the opening show.

Clyde McHenry of Lima, O., will go

on with Jimmy Oakley and these boys

should put up a rattling good go. Ray Jeffries will be one of the stars

at the opening if some good scrapper can be secured to meet him. Jeffries has started training at Abel's quarters, over the cigar store, for bis engagement at Portland on September 2, and will be in first class condition when the date for the local show rolls around. Some surprises are in store for fight fans if they show a disposition to support the game and some corking good boys will be brought here. Oval water pipes are now being made as a provision against freezing.

DRIVE THREE AUTOS HERE FROM DETROIT FOR EAGER BUYERS Three new Maxwell cars arrived at the McConaha garage on Thursday night. They are the first Maxwells that have been received in several weeks and were only secured by sending three men to Detroit to drive them here. The trip was made in one day and the machines showed no effect from their long drive. Maxwells are being turned out at the rate of two hundred and fifty a day and the demand for them is so great that the company does not have to 6hip them by freight. Every day there is a big line-up of men and as soon as a car is tested out and finished there is a man ready to jump into the driver's seat and whirl it away. Mr. McConaha has been promised three more cars next week if he sends men after them and he will do this. The demand for this year's model is unprecedented, and the cars are being sold as fast as they are received.

TELLS SPRING VALUE 'The advantages of the semi-elliptic springs are recognized by automobile designers both in this country and In Eureope. states Earl O. Spangler. of the Central garage, distributor for the Haynes Light Six. "The semi-elliptic is so termed because it la a half-ellipse. It supports the frame of the car at either end and is fastened to the axle housing at the middle of the spring. This construction allows, extreme resiliency and ease of riding, at the sam time preventing any side-sway of the body on the chassis. :

DAVIS PLANT SHIPS FIRST 1916 MODEL

The irst 1916 Davis light six was shipped out of the factory to Philadelphia this week. After giving the car a tryout of over two hundred miles over the roads, the decision of those who made the trip was that , the new six was - the easiest riding car they had ever stepped into. It was agreed by all that this was the finest model ever turned out of the Davis plant, and that it would be the biggest seller on the market this year. The car stood up wonderfully under the severest tests- it was put to, and the speed shown was a surprise, although it was known that the car would go at a rapid clip. DETROIT ELECTRIC PROVES POPULAR

-Builders of enclosed cars throughout the country have all remarked a noticeable increase in the call for insidedriven automobiles. The Anderson Electric Car company, builders of Detroit electrics, who are world's largest manufacturers of enclosed cars, have been forced to extend their production plans for this coming season to provide for more than twice as many cars as they built in 1915 and many of these cars Will be used by Richmond people, for the local agent, the Richmond Electric company, has already booked a number of orders.

TAXPAYERS DEMAND GOOD GRADE ROADS

, Everywhere the taxpayers are not only - asking, but demanding ' better roads and more of them, in return for the millions of dollars of, their money which is being- spent annually for road construction and road maintenance, and they see the means to this end in the organization and affiliation or a state-wide chain of local clubs composed of automobile owners and good road enthusiasts. 'Indiana is yearly paying out more money for roads than any other State to the union, regardless of size or wealth, not even excepting New York, with eight times it resources. The people of Indiana are 'spending about $15,000,000 annually for roads, which amount is more than all the expenditures of the state put together. While the taxpayers have zealously provided for the economical and efficient expenditure of the money which they pay annually to run the state and its institutions, they have made no such provisions for the supervision and economical expenditure of the much

no more like the electric car of a few years ago than the Mauretania . is like Fulton's steamboat. Each passing year has marked a far advance in electric car construction. The Detroit Electric of 1916 is a modem, powerful automobile in every sense of the word. It is a car with all the speed you really need. It is a car with battery capacity which guarantees yon greater mileage without recharging; than you ordinarily use in a day's motoring. It is a car with plenty of power to climb hills and pull through heavy roads. Yet even while the Detroit Electric has steadily advanced in value the price has steadily declined through the economies of greater prod ucQon. 1916 Detroit Electric Prices Model 61 4-paaa.
