The Brò k Automob ile Company Figuring On Their Car.

Brook Reporter. Mr. Porter, of Chicago, was ,*Mnt Monday, jlle .is an automobile .designing .pxgext, and. has been under the employment of .the largest manufacturers in the country and he knows the business from the ground up. The committee went over the plans with him and expressed their views and be will blue print .them. The way the committee have worked out the plans, the car will be something along the line of the Chalmers-Detroit and E. M. & F. but a really better looking car than either, and Just as good if not' a better constructed car. They have finally derided to adopt a 35-horse power motor, 112 inch wheel base, 3% inch tire, and 34 inch . wheel, Parklson transmission gear, syphon cooling system, steel body, fenders and running board, and added to this will be a few special features designed by the committee. They will manufacture the five passenger car for a try put, but later will make the surrey and runabout. The powerful motor in this car will be a drawing card and one that will appeal to automobilists. The four cylinder 35-40 horse power engine that they will-use is the same size that is used in ninetenths of the seven passenger cars for five passenger work. As soon as she material can be secured, which will probably be another two weeks, work on the first car will commence.
