DAVIS OAR GO. ADOPTS EVERY PRACTICAL IDEA

The inherent habit of the Davis Motor Car Co. to adopt new and practical ideas, imbedding the latest results of inventive genius in their products, is proven, in one instance, in the center control set built on the transmission, declares the company's president George W. Davis. It was in August. 1910. that T. W. Warner of Toledo, Ohio, began the manufacture oi center control set 'nnnntat nn trnnnmisKlnTi Which made ' it nnsRlhle to use both' front side doors of a machine. Every automobile manufacturer in the United States is now using Warner's products. The Davis company was one or me iirsc concerns in the inriuatrv in the United States to use this adaptible, practical arrangement. This invention simplifies the use of tne transmission, uauug u uue uun. . . 1. 1 u - .Mf lall 11 Bu wur&eu uui wuuawuriuj is proven in its general use. Before it was invented, the Bide control system . was in vogue. Another similar practical and new arrangement in the Davis cars is the divided front seat, according to Mr. Davis. All the 1916 models have an adjustable, sliding type of seat for the . . I 1 A. 1V1. , MM. ariver, maiung ioBmtj iui uy length of driver to sit comfortably at the steering wheel, operating the clutch and brake pedals, easily, These advantages, declares Mr. Davis can i be accomplished in the stationary front seats. The right hand seat of the Davis car is a revolving type of seat on the order of a parlor car chair, pereither the front or rear. There is also ,, kAtwaan ,Vi frrtnt n nrl rear seats. These features, which Mr. Davis says are exclusively in the company's latest models, are the most attractive nollinir nnints.

WILURD BATTERY TESTED TO ENDURE JOLTING ON ROADS The motoring public is tnorougniy familiar with the fact that Dractically every bit of steel used in the construction of a car is tested with ex treme care by the manufacturer, even thnnsh in kottip pases it concerns the little parts, the breaking of which would not cause danger or inconvenience in operation. The public does not realize, however, the rubber parts In a storage battery should also be tested for tensile strength and that it Is really -more important than In the case of many steel parts, since the breaking of a jar may cause serious delay and inconvenience through the stalling of the motor. The jolt of crossing car tracks is so severe that it sometimes breaks the springs and will sooner or later prove , too much for any cheap battery jar. The Willard storage battery comnany specify Jars which must have 3,600 pounds tensile strength to the square inch of cross section and keep their product rigidly to this standard by the most searching tests. While that might be considered excessive by some, the Willard company feels that it must give its users an absolutely sure margin of safety. The Richmond Electric company is the local agent.

Pilot Gar Makes Hit Leading Big Pageant

i .

Not so long ago, but what mosi;o&, us can remember, the automobile at the circus divided interest only with "Jumbo," the big elephant and the "man eating" tiger. The same -is true today with a difference. Formerly the automobile was a curiosity. Now it is but an added attraction. No longer do we pay "two bits" per ride, proud of our nerve to tackle the monster .and scared half to death at the same time. Not sor Today we say merely "Isn't she a beauty" and speculate as to how much the cruiserlike, racy looking car can exceed the speed limit, Thursday was no exception, A big Pilot Six Fifty-Five, carrying the HaAUSTRALIAN VISITS WESCOTT FACTORY AND PRAISES AUTO 1T. M. Orr, a member of the firm of Richardson Orr & Company of New York and Melbourne, Australia, was one of the most interesting visitors at the factory of the Westcott Motor Co. this week. Mr. Orr was . entertained on Thursday by officials of of the company. ' The purpose of Mr. Orr's annual visit to the Westcott factory was to renew his firm's contract for the sale of Westcott cars .in Australia, ' New Zealand and South American points. In addition to the South American cities, he will be the representative of the company in Argentine, Chile, Equador and Peru where an extensive propaganda for the sale of the local company's products will be inaugurated. The South American campaign this year will undoubtedly produce satisfactory results according to F. T. Robs, publicity manager of the Westcott. Under the personal supervision of Mr. Orr, the agent in the South American countries are expected to sell quite a number of the new models. Mr. Orr is a Scotchman by birth but has resided many years in Australia. Mr. Ross says he is not only a man, thoroughly acquainted with the automobile industry but possesses a hobby for raising pigs and owns a farm of 200 acres near Melbourne where he pursues this diversion. Mr. Orr was enthusiastic in his praise of the Westcott cars and predicted a large foreign business. DRIVE TO PLANT FOR FOUR CARS With the view of inspecting the factory and making a more detailed examination of the merits of the car, Earl Spangler of the Spatogler i& Jones Auto agency, will leave for Kokomo, Ind., Saturday with four "prospects." "We expect to take four men up there in one car and bring four men home in four cars," said Spangler. "We are especially pleased with the Haynes cars that we have received and have sold."

genback-Wallace manager led the parade through town ; and later both in afternoon and evening headed k the grand march inside, the "big top." As the march started , and wound its way around the arena appreciative comments on the handsome appearance and unusual distinctiveness of the Big Pilot Fifty-five were heard on all sides. It was fitting indeed, that, a Pilot car, highest representative of Richmond's automobile industry, should hold the center of the stage at the Richmond performance of the Hagen-back-Wallace circus the latter also a truly "Made in Indiana" entertainment.

FORD AGENTS SELL DELIVERY MACHINES ' : The past week was the biggest week j of the year for the sale of delivery cars by the Bethard Auto Agency. Six light delivery cars were sold during the past week. ."The Ford has a great advantage over other cars for delivery purposes," said Fred Bethard.

Bloemke, grocery ; Fred Lemon, flower shop; Richmond Baking company, for bread ; wagon ; Berheide Grocery, delivery. Another recent sale for quick delivery purposes was to the Lee B. Nusbaum company.

- The advantage of the automobile over the old fashioned train route for traveling men baa been realized by the Adam Bartel company and during the past week, three automobiles' were bought for the traveling salesmen of this company. ': - ' ..'-. .The aalesmen find that by traveling through the - country In automobiles they can reach the smaller towns more quickly and at less expense. - . r The Adam H. Bartel company now owns four Ford automobiles, three of which are being used by the salesmen. . " . FARMER WHO BUYS MACHINE DEMANDS MECHANICAL VALUE r "When the farmer buys a motor car he has 'to be shown, says the local agent for the Dodge Brothers. "He doesn't take anything on say so. And he particularly searches . for the hidden quality. The average city man is very strong for looks and' design, but only In rare cases is he possessed of much knowledge of mechanics and then, too, he is schooled in the proposition that even if something goes wrong vpith his car it is only a step to a garage. - v "But the country man adopts an entirely different attitude when he buys a car. Jifls usually motor wise. He has been Operating his farm machinery by gasoline engine and is familiar with the principle and operation , of motors. He has before him at all times the thought that he must have a car that will 'take him there and back.' In other words, he will not take chances on a car that may strand him ten miles from home and three or four from help. : "He Is a close reader of motor car advertising literature. ..In most cases when he plans buying a - car he has been giving the subject' thought for a year or .so and reading up on it. He keeps the salesman on his toes with his questions and he demands absolute frankness.

SPANGLED ADVISES AUTOMOBILE USERS ON GRADES OF OIL

"Buying a cheap grade of oil be cause of the low price is not true economy, but will eventually prove-to be a very expensive practice," states Earl O. spangler.aistnDutor;ior--tne Haynes light six. . ' "The principal lubricating mediums commonly used are fluid oil and semifluid nil nd sreaeea derived from both mineral and animal sources. GranhltA. nntt of the most important lu bricants known, is a form of crystalline carbon. The mediums best adapted differ with the nature of the work the carts are to perform. A oil that, is suitable for one portion of the automobile mechanism may prove actually Injurious to otner parts. "By adding about one teaspoonf ul of ground flake . graphite , to. every gallon of cylinder oil. it is possible to carry to all surfaces a material that la finer than the most minute pores of the metal and which will gradually cover the metal with a film which heat cannot easily destroy. The benefits derived from the use of graphite in , oil are accumulative, .for with continued use all the bearings, cylinder walls and piston rings are protected by a lubricant which impregnates the metal. All graphite .is not lubricating graphite however, nor is all lubricating graphite suitable for use in . cylinder oil. , Care must be exercised and only finely ground flake BRIEFS ; The celewated Harper whiskey, quart $1.00, gallon, $3.75: All brands of whiskey bottled in bond $1.25 per bottle.
