TALCOTT SINGS

PRAISE OF NEW OVERLAND GAR

; The TalcottOverland company, .local distributors of the Overland automobiles. Is enthusiastic over the prospects for the coming season and the fine line of models offered under the Overland name. ; The company's salesroom Is located at Twelfth and Main, streets where machines can be displayed to good advantage. One of the talking points used by

the Talcott people Is 'the easy control of the Overland which permits the women members of the family to handle the car with such ease and safety. ; Speaking of the comfort and luxury of the Overland, Mr., Talcott says: "As soon as you sit back ' In the deep, soft seats you realize- how skilfully the upholstery Is shaped, to conform to the body how accurately the seats are tilted to the degree which allows greatest relaxation. You notice that the deep- spiral springs be neath the upholstery have just the right "give," neither resisting stiffly nor yielding too readily to your weight. And you mark the abundance of elbow- and leg-room. ' 1 "Rut it is when you ride In the car that you realize fully how complete and satisfying this comfort is. Part of this smoothness of riding is due, of course, to the large tires; part to the correct distribution of weight In the chassis. Dut most of It is due to the cantilever type rear springs." i Of the motor he says: "You will find that, the Model 75 rnotor gives you, to an unusual degree, the abundant power, the economy, find the simplicity which are the principal characteristics of the long-stroke bloc type motor. J "You will find, too, that it Is remarkably quiet in operation and, Tenia Ins bo. The valve' mechanism is all eJnolosed, although readily accessible.

and silent ctialns are used Instead of g;ears." 200 JEWS ORGANIZE i VOLUNTEER COMPANY

FIGURES THAT TELL GROWTH OF AUTO

The progress of the automobile Industry since Alexander WInton sold first American-made motor car to Robert Allison for $1,000 to its position in. 1916, when 707,527 automobiles were sold for a total of $573,000,000, is illustrated by "Theodore H. Price in the Outlook. Fully one-half of the cars sold In the United States during the last year were bought by farmers. In the four years from 1911 to 1914 the number of cars registered in the grain states, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Kansas and Oklahoma Increased from 130,000 to 560,000 and one-half are said to be owned by farmers, who paid $250,000,000 for them. There are 30,000 automobile dealers' garages, repair shops and charging stations in the country. , More than 2,000,0Q0 motor cars were registered in various states in July; 1915. r r ".... ,, Manufacturers believe that-the demand for popular . priced. tQurlngNrs will continue to increase.

DRIVERS APPROVE GRAVEL HIGHWAYS OF WAYNE COUNTY

Wayne county has been . the most consistent booster of the dragged road of any county in the state and as a result, the highways taken as a whole are considered by motorists as among the best, in the state. County Road Superintendent Jones, who is a strong exponent of the gravel road, believea that for easy , riding surface qualities; the gravel road is surperior ' to any that can be buil',., ;' ; "iCiv Because of the high cost of -brick or concrete improvements, Wayne county has never entered rinto ah extehslv

system, of hard surfaced road Improvement. Many automobilists, however, believe that the good roads of this county must be attributed to the care given them through the road department.?- . If the desires of a large majority of the taxpayers of Jackson and Center township are realized, tourists through this county will find the first strip of concrete road on the National highway through Indiana. . ; ;' . ..

$3,000,000 WORTH OF CARS UUFACTURED IN THIS CITY

-' . That Richmond well deserves the reputation it holds as an automobile manufacturing center is shown by the fact that during the season 1915-16, local firms are anticipating the manufacture - of approximately 3,500 automobiles. Practically "all types and models "of automobile are manufactured in Richmond with the exception of electrics. - ' , Officials of .the four leading automobile ' companies of the city state that '. this season has ' heen a record breaking year and that practically all of the local output has been contracted for.; , ' ' ' . - : : The automobile industry in Richmond-'' amounts. ; to approximately

The Greatest Car of All Time

All Other Cars Outrivaled At Sheepshead Bay, under A. A. A. supervision, a 7 -passenger Super-Six stock car excelled all former stock ears in these tests. 100 miles in 80 min., 21.4 sec. averaging 74.67 miles per hour, with driver and passenger. 75. 69 miles in one hour with driver and passenger. Standing stent to BO miles an hour in 16.2 sec. During these tests the car was driven 13 SO miles at top capacity, at speed exceeding 70 miles per hour, without discoverable wear on any pari.

ANEW monarch appears in Motordom this year. It is a light-weight Six, simple and economical. No added cylinders or size. Yet it shows 80 per cent more efficiency than like-size motors heretofore delivered. 7 ;It means that a Six the ideal type of motor has outrivaled Eights and Twelves. Its records have never been matched. And this Super-Six is a Hudson invention, controlled by Hudson patents. So, for the first time, an epoch-making feature is found in but one car. 76 HORSEPOWER The Super-Six motor is small and light The size is identical with our former Light Six. But that size heretofore', at its best, delivered about 42 horsepower. In the Super-Six it delivers 76 horsepower. That is, the Super-Six is 80 per cent more effi

cient It is the most powerful stock motor ever known, cylinder capacity considered. THAT 80 PER CENT WAS WASTED Note that this motor has no extra size. There is no extra fuel consumption. One result is the smoothest-running motor that you ever knew. The car seems to move by magic. The vast reserve power creates a marvelous performer. One may creep on high gear, and instantly dash to speed. Hills or hard roads do not tax the motor. Even under hard conditions, the motor is seldom run at more than half load. That means vast fuel economy. The motor's endurance is almost doubled by eliminating wear. This motor has been through the hardest tests that a stock motor ever stood. And no part or bearing has shown discoverable wear. HUDSON NOW SUPREME The Super-Six motor makes the Hudson car supreme. A man who buys a fine car, and who knows the Super-Six, is bound to choose the Hudson. This extra efficiency of 80 per cent is too great to disregard. And the Super-Six looks its supremacy. Six of the finest bodies ever built have been created for it. Come see this matchless car. Then let us show you by a ride how much this motor means. You will never forget the experience. 7-Passenger Phaeton, $1375 at Detroit Five Other Styles of Bodies HUDSON MOTOR CA5 CO., Detroit, Mich.
