NEW ROADSTER FOR 3 PERSONS GAINS IN FAVOR

"Many automobile companies are Including three-pasenger roadsters in their- prodflction for 1916," states Earl O. Spangler, distributor for the Haynes Light Six. "The three-passenger roadster is the ideal car for the small family. Dur inar the dav It may be used as a bus

iness car. In the evening when business cares are forgotten the family may use It as a pleasure car, so that

it really serves a double purpose. "The heavy demand for such a car

which has been felt for the last few

years, has led to the announcement

of several different types or wis ae sign by different makers.

"All types involve a third seat, some of which are so arranged that

the third occupant seems apart from

the other two. In the better designs, however, the three seats are so group

ed that they make a very sociable ar

rangement.

"Such sociability may be obtained

by separating the two front seats and placing the third seat between them and slightly to the rear. This design

allows the incorporation of two large carrying spaces, one on either side of the third seat. These are in addition to the extra large space on the rear,

which is suitable for suit cases or other baggage, making a very desirable car for touring. "The three-passenger roadster so admirably serves the double purpose of business car and pleasure car for the small family, that it is rapidly displacing the older two-seated design in public favor."

NIEWOEHNER'S HILL IS EASY; SHOW US A REAL FOR SURE HILL" CRY WESTCOTt MOTOR OFFICIALS

t, The officials of the Westcott Motor Car Co., are laughing yet over the information they have just received, that various local agents and owners of automobiles have been trying to climb Niewoehner's hill on high gear and that quite a dispute has arisen and wagers staked on the ability and inability of certain motor cars to make the climb on high gear. The Westcott crowd are asking, "Why all the fuss over a little hill like Niewoehner's?" About a -year ago while searching for a- suitable test course the Westcott Company came across this hill and hit upon it as a fairly good test route and since then every machine that Is turned out of the factory has to go over that hill on high gear. "This so-called feat is an every day occurrence for Westcott cars," said H. P. Mammen, General Sales Manager for the company in an interview today, "and the fact that the climbing of Niewoehner's hill on high gear has

been the source of such a controversy and has been regarded as such a feat and that motorists are terming the hill a bug-a-boo really tickles us. "Of course we realize that Niewoehner's is somewhat of a task for the average car, for not long ago we made a comparative test on this hill with an eight cylinder car of national prominence, which resulted victoriously, as usual, for our Westcott Six while the eight cylinder car 'stubbed its toe about half way up the hill in a number of - repeated attempts to 'make the beastly climb and finally gave up in despair. "Therefore it might be rightfully termed a hill. But as a matter of fact we are looking for something real hard to climb, something that will make Niewoehner's look like an ant hill. . So if any one knows of a real hill around here anywhere show us where it is and we'll show you the climbing qualities of our new Westcott sixes."

ELECTRIC MACHINES OVERCOME ADVERSE CLIMATE CONDITIONS

TAOBE CHALLENGES AUTOMOBILE AGENTS TO CLIMBING TESTS

One of the most remarkable changes wrought in electric car building has been in the matter of batteries. It is often noted and commented upon that electric automobiles of today show greater speed and endurance than ever before. Another noticeable feature is the ability of electric cars always to run satisfactorily regardless of the weather conditions. These improvements are largely due to the advancement that has been made in storage batteries. It used to be that thirty miles was as far as an electric could travel on a single battery charge. By contrast the modern electric car can cover eighty-five miles or more, the equivalent of several days of, usual service on one charge of the batteries. Then, too, facilities have been improved by reason of conveniently located . central . charging stations, which make it practicial for any electric owner to get quick service.

POSITION OF PLUGS DETERMINES POWER

- An open challenge to meet any fourcylinder automobile within $150 of its price, in a hill-climbing contest over any hill in the county, has been issued by P. B. Taube, local agent for the Pullman. Taube claims that there Isn't a hill in the county that he can't negotiate on "high." The price of the five passenger touring car, with which he would make the test, is $740. "I am having great success with the Pullman," said Taube today. "The Pullman has more power than any other car of its class and this is what the prospective automobile purchaser wants." . During the past week a five passenger touring car was sold to Frank

Geers, South Thirteenth street and Philip Rose, North Twenty-first street. As soon as he is able to get them from the factory, two Pullman Cloverleaf roadsters will be delivered by Taube. Immediate delivery, however, is guaranteed on the touring cars, he said.

ORDERS FOR SAXONS COMPLETELY SWAMP AGENTS It) RICHMOND

Following the announcement of the lew 'series Saxon 6-cylinder and .7 4cylinder cars the Saxon Motor company of Detroit has begun quantity shipments of both models, and dealers all over the country are rapidly being supplied to take care of .the large number of orders for quick delivery. Among these are the Irvin Reed & Son, Richmond representatives of the company.

At the close of the month of September, which was the biggest in the history of the Saxon company there were on hand orders for more than 3,000 cars. Dealers have beea writing and wiring and in some cases

making personal visits, to secure j greatly increased allotments declar-i ing that they have sold many cars

merely by specifications.

The new series of Saxon models has added fresh impetus to the increasing sales. The new 2-unit electric starting and lighting systems, proved body finish, increased, roominess and other features of the latest six-cylinder models, have created wide-spread Interest and the demand is heavy also for the new 6-cylinder roadster model.

M'CONAIIA USES WIRE TO SELL STUDEBAKER

TOURS IN HUPP AUTO

Lee Anderson, sales and advertising manager of the Hupp Motor Car company, left Detroit last week on a fortyday trip through the northwest, Pacific coast and southwest, to return by way of St. Louis and Chicago. Mr. Anderson will call on all the large Hupmobile distributors en route and will arrange for winter Hupmobile business. He will visit Chicago, Des

Moines, Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake

City, Spokane, Portland. San Francisco, Los Angeles, El Pasa, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Kansas City and St. Louis.

ELECTRIC CAR SHOPS COVER ELEVEN ACRES

While Detroit is famed as the center of the automobile industry, it " is perhaps not so well known that for years that city has held within its bounds the largest factory in the world devoted to the manufacture of

electric pleasure vehicles. This plant is that of the Anderson Electric company, builders of the Detroit Electric. In this plant-covering eleven acres of floor space are produced more than one-third of all the standard electric pleasure cars built today. Not only is this factory the largest of its kind, but it is also the most completely equipped with up-to-date machinery and devices for securing accurate and rapid production. It compares favorably in equipment with any gasoline car factory that can be named.

" Selling a 3-passenger Studebaker roadster without talking to or seeing the purchaser was the experience of the McConaha company this week. The cash sale was made to F. J. Goodwine of West Lebanon, Indiana, and the deal was negotiated by telegraph. Mr. Goodwine has not come to Richmond to take possession of his new car. . Other sales made by the McConaha company during the last week were

the following: O. S. Beck Loan company in Colonial building, a Maxwell. William Flook of Centerville, a Studebaker and Mrs. Schlenker, east of city, a Studebaker. Arthur Cheesman of Centerville. bought a used car this week, making his third purchase of the McConaha company. Mr. Livingston of the Studebaker corporation visited in Richmond last

Friday and promised to the McConaha

company immediate delivery of a car load oi cars. . He promised too, to Increase the allowance of the latter company, twenty-five more . cars for the year. The local company received word that a carload of Maxwell machines in which one roadster will be Included, was shipped today.

Great Demand for New

Constipation Remedy j

They any that the advent of the. "aentaBel tablet" as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. It ccems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with ehronte ronsttpation, who were quick to recognise its advantage over calomel and the usual laxatives. . Sentane! tablets, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency to aid in bringing about natural functioning instead of encouragingthe "cat hart its habit." Also; Instead cf injuring the membraneous lining of the organs Involved, they exert a healing Influence. Instead of weakening, they add tone to the Intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are of course preferred on this account to the Violently acting purgatives. Their tnexpensiveness Is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets. One need procure only a dime's worth, and take nne tablet upoq retiring, to be convinced that the Ideal remedy for constipation, torpid liver, and their many evil consciences, has finally been found.

Locating the spark plugs on the motor has always had very careful attention of automobile engine designers. In the L-head motor the conventional design places the spark plug over one of the valves in the L. The manufacturers of the Marmon car have deviated from this practice by placing the spark plug in the center of the combustion chamber over the renter of the piston. They claim this allows the flame to spread more rapidly and ignited the gas more quickly, giving more power.
