land Automobile Sales Corporation busy
explaining Its many One points to hun
dreds of enthusiasts. This car, which
nas hurriedly assembled at the factory
In Cleveland to keep Its appointment
ulth the New York public on Thursday,
was driven over the roads from Buffalo
Ir. high sear all the way, and averaged
better than fifteen miles 'per Ballon of
rasolen. In performance, appearance
and appointments It exceeds even the
expectations of those who had looked for
something unusual, knowing It Was the
product of the men who helped make
the Chandler one of the leaders through
out, the country.
The Cleveland five passenger touring
car has a wheel base of 112 Inches and
Fells (or $1,385 at the factory. At first
glance one Is Instantly Impressed with
It i fine straight Hnos. Us underslung
rear springs and Its fine hand bulled
upholstery. It has the' lithe, thorough
bred lfok of the Chandler In fact. Its
close relationship to the larger car goes
further than appearance only. The per
sonnel of the Cleveland Motor Car Com
pany Is that which helped make the
Chandler famous. These men are J. V.
Whltbcck, president, formerly chief en
gineer of the Chandler Motor Car Com
paiyi Sid Black, vice-President, for
merly assistant sales manager of the
Chandler Company; J. I. Krall, secretary-treasurer,
formerly assistant treas
urer of tho Chandler Motor Car Com
pany: F. C. Chandler, chairman of tho
board, president of tho Chandler Com
pany,, and Samuel Rega'r, chairman of
the finance committee and treasurer of
the Chandler Company.
It requires only a glance at Its erp"'
flcatlons and general equipment - ja
that Its parts are standard p-'l ' tho

Positive character Is dominant In this
car. Strong sturdlness and unusual
comfort and roominess are united with
narked economy of operation. The
faith of dealers all over the country In
Its value Is Indicated by the fact that
hundreds of the most responsible of them
signed up contracts and made cash de
posits without seeing the- car or knowing
l's price. They were perfectly willing to
trust the known reputation of Its mak
ers for giving the utmost for every dol
lar. The reception tho car has received
during the past few days by tho New
Tork public Indicates the demand there
will be for It when deliveries begin.
There are four models five passenger
touring, Ave passenger sedan, three pas

A motor trip to Norfolk, Newport
News and Old Point Comfort, the objec
tive of this week's tour, is teeming with
historical legend, unsurpassed natural
beauty and present day achievement.
The trip affords the tourist side visits
to Baltimore and Washington, which In
themselves abound In Interesting sights.
After entering the great Southland one
of the most famous cities along the
route to Norfolk Is Fredericksburg, Va
in this quaint old city, the scene .of some
of the fiercest battles of tho civil war,
la located the famous Stonewall (Con
federate) and National cemeteries, the
latter having IE. 300 graves, Here also
may be seen the homes of George Wash
ington and John Paul Jones, the Revo
lutionary naval hero.
Richmond, the capital of the Confed
eracy. Is undoubtedly worth a day stop
over. Among Its many points of civil
war fame are tho old home of Jefforson
Davis and Robert E. Leo and Stone
wall Jackson monuments, Washing
ton's headquarters, known as "Stono
House," Bell Tower and Washington's
monument. Petersburg, located 100'
miles north of Norfolk, Is famed as the
greatest pxportlrtg point of maufac
tured tobacco In the United States.
At .Norfolk Is located tho greatest and
most commodious harbor In the United
States, the famous Hampton Roads.
Approximately twenty-six steamship
lines enter this port regularly. In 1862
Hampton Roads was the scene of the
celebmted battle between the world's
first two Ironclads, the Monitor and the
Merrlmac It was from thlR great port
also, that the American fleet, after be
ing reviewed by President Roosevelt,
started on Its famous trip around the
world, In December, 1807.
At Newport News, located on the
north side of Hampton Ttoads, Is the
largest shipbuilding plant In the world
and the greatest single railway terminal
In the world. At Portsmouth, Va., also
opposite Norfolk, is located the United
States Navy Yard. It covers 211 acres
and has three large dry docks, a plant
for the construction of steel Vessels, a
naval magazine and the United States
naval training .station.
Old Point Comfort truly lives up to
Its name. It Is one of the most famous
resorts on the Atlantic coast. Here Is
located Fort Monroe, tho largest
and best known fortification In America.
It covers eighty acres of ground and
represents a cost of moro than $50,000,
000. It Is garrisoned bynhc largest ar
tillery force in the United States. There
are dally drills to which visitors are
admitted. The Interior of the fortress
contains, among other things, a museum
where trophies, relics of the battle of
Torktbwn and the casement where Jef
ferson Davis was confined as a prisoner
of war. Other nearby summer resorts
are Pine Beach, Ocean View, Wlllough
by Beach and Virginia Beach.

DORT COMPANY
OPENS BRANCH
F., L. Sanford! Is General Man
ager at 58th Street and
Broadway.
One of U10 most Important develop
ments In nutomotlvo circles during the
last week is tho announcement that the
new Dort branch, Broadway and Fifty
eighth street. Is now open to the public,
F. I Banford, well known to the New
Tork trade, has been' selected as general
manager of the new branch. Mr. flan
ford was for several years manager of
the local Studebakcr branch and has
had a wealth of experience In market
ing motor cars In this territory.
Carrying out the Dort color scheme
of bluo and gray In the salesroom, a
quiet dignity of decoration 1b at1' once
apparent. This Is supplemented with a
generous sprinkling of taupe rugs on .a
field of highly polished floor and a
background of palms and ferns that
add greatly to the attractiveness of the
setting. Tho Dort showroom Is one of
the finest In the city.
Announcement comes from the fac
tory at Flint that It Is not now and
never will be the policy of the Dort
Motor Car Company to establish
branches, tho. New Tork branch being
tho outgrowth of a peculiar situation
which calls for factory representation
tn New Tork. From developments dur
ing the last few months and particu
larly with the signing of the peace
treaty It Is a recognised fact that New
Tork has now becomo a world trade
centre. With this In mind the Dort
company has opened Its new branch and
Is now prepared to give export custom
ers, dealers and Dort owners every ad
vantage In service and cooperation that
would not be possible under any other
plan.
Simultaneously with the opening of
the new branch Is the establishment of
a new service and storage depot at
Fifty-fourth street and Eleventh avenue.
This Is a large, modern concrete and
brick structure, with 10,000 square' feet
of floor space and a storage capacity of
approximately 200 cars. With the
thought In view that this storage space
may not take care of tho tremendous
Dort requirements In the metropolitan
and foreign districts, a number of other
stations have been established In the
vicinity of the main depot.
The personnel of the new organization,
both In the Bales and service depart
ments under the management of Mr.
Sanford, Is one which has enjoyed a
very wide experience In the Industry.
The service department Is manned by a
largo corps of expert mechanics, with a
manager who has had many years, train
ing In the care and maintenance of Dort
cars, while the sales force consists of
men well known to local motor car
enthusiasts.
From the new branch the territory to be
supplied Is tho same as that formerly
held by tho New Tork distributers,
namely, Manhattan, Ixng Island and
portions of Connecticut and New Jersey,
together with overseas customers who
will make the port of New Tork their
headquarters.
GLOBE'S BIO MILEAGE.
Actually Gives MorJ Service Than
Is Gnaranteed,
A particularly Interesting phase of
tire selling was 'brought out recently In
a talk with President J. B. Llnerd of the
Globe Rubber Tire Manufacturing Com
pany, New Tork. Mr. Llnerd stated
that while tires In general were sold on
a mileage basis, the, mileage guarantee
was no Indication really as to tho ulti
mate cost per mile to the user. Some
fires give a good account of themselves,
others do not. He pointed out for ex
ample, that' though a Globo fabric tire
Is Bold on an adjustment basis of 8,000
miles, this la no Indication of what the
Globe actually gives In service. As a
matter of fqct no mileage at all ought
to be specified, for less than one-half
of 1 per cent, of the users ever come
to tho Qlobe company for adjustment.
The mileage mentioned In the guarantee
Is merely to give the user some satis
faction In knowing that his cost per
mile shou'.d not be below a certain
figure.
Operated under proper conditions as
specified by the Globe company, a Globe
casing will give two ,to yiree times tho
mileage guaranteed, as so many thou
sands have done and are doing. That
Is why. President Llnerd stated, those
who buy Globe tires buy tiro service In
stead of a piece of rubber, and canvas.

New Case Six A Seven Petssenger Car Arrives
The All-Amerlcan Sales Corporation
1 showing the new Case Six car at 183S
Broadway. RoMert S. Otto, is president
of this concern and J. J. Johnstone, Jr.,
Is general manager. A fine service sta
tion Is In operation at It West Slxty
socond street. ,
The return of the Case Six to( Broad
way after a short absence) following the
retirement of the H. A. Banders Motor
Corporation from the automobile busi
ness Is welcomed by many New Tprkers
who always have had a high regard for
the product of the Cose Threshing Ma
chine Cn, of Raclna, Wis., ono of
trio largest manufacturers of machinery
In the world. The return of Mr. John
stone to the Row Is equally welcome, be
cause he made many friends as sales
manager for the Sanders organization
and gave up a contract for a factory
position to represent the car here.
The Case Is built In four 'models:
seyen passenger touring; selling for
(2,200 at the factory: four, passenger
sport model, selling for $2,100;" four
passenger coupe. J!, 850, and seven 'pas
senger sedan, 23,000.
The Ultimate in Mileage
HIS name Is Jim Rynders and he
a)ways has been a genius at
converting old and apparently
worthless articles Into things of .use
fulness again. His fame as a handy,
man at any Job la known throughout
Greenwich. N. TM and the surround
ing farming country. His latest
achievement breaks alt records and
apparently solves the problem of get
ting the very last bit of Bervtce out
of an automobile tire.
Jim has half soled his old working
shoes with pieces of the non-skid
tread and body of a Goodrich tire. It
is his contention that If theso Good
rich tires are guaranteed for 8,000
miles on an automobile weighing two
tons or more, there Is no telling what
mileage ha will be able to get out of
them with his weight of only 140
pounds. He has figured this mileage
all tha way from 60,000 to 100,000
miles and Is wondering It ho Is going
to live long en6ugh to wear out his
shoes.
"And I want to tell you young
fellow that these are non-skid In
any Held," he said. "There Is many
a hillside on which tho other boys
can't keep their footing after their
soles get shiny. But you ought to
see my non-skids hold me up there.
They call me 'Old Non-Skld,' but I
don't care. They may make me pay
more for my food and clothes and
other things these days, but they
can't put anything over on me when
It comes to shoes. I'm sure I'll be
burled with these Goodrich non-skids
on my feet and they may even help
mo climbing tip tho golden stairs."

lllirh Truck nates in Oil Itttrlon
Told by federal Officer.
Ono hundred and two dollars for a
haitl of forty-two and one-half miles
would bo considered a pretty good wage
for motor truck drivers here, but It Is
just art ordinary day's return In the
newly opened olt fields of northern
Texas, according to L. B. Dudley, ad
vertising manager' of the Federal Truck
Company, who has Just completed an In
vestigation of tho truck needs of oil pros
pectors In that section of tho country.
But then the trucks do not do an ordi
nary day's work. Hauling capacity
loads over prairies and plains where tho
only road Is perhapa a trail and where
the storms of tho Panhandle region add
misery to the ordinary discomforts of
the trip Isn't a Job for the driver or
truck either, which lacks, er viscera.
It may ha worth even the high wage of
z cents per mils hundred weight, which
lucky trucksters of the oil region aro
getting from the ever eager oil pros
pector.
' While the rates charged by drivers
vary somewhat In the different fields.
they seldom fall below those given
above, and In view of the difficult tasks
which must be performed by both tho
drivers and the trucks It Is extremely
unlikely that these prices will be lowered.
In addition to the capacity toad of the
truolcs themselves, practically all trucks
take trailers also. With these trailers
the trucks carry the long oil well cas
ings. Many of these trucks and trailers
are now being equipped with' collapsible
bodies which will be used to haul grain
on the return trip, thus adding mate.
