Cameron St., after March 1 ■ m~ ■ CASE NOW MAKES BUT ONE MODEL Devotes Entire Time to Four- Forty at $1,090; Touring Car Body, Only Announcement has recently been! made of the new Case "Forty" by the J. I. Case T. M. Company of Racine, Wisconsin. The price of the i new car annovneed by the Case Com- ! pany is 51.090, a marked reduction «>ver the price of their former Forty, which sold for $2,300. Last year the Case Company devoted a good share, of its activity to a car of smaller type. ! Its decision to devote its entire time to the larger car indicates the return of the demand from the smaller types. "Born and bred in the midst of Case ideals, it looms forth as the car i that is bound to carry the Case stand- : ard muher and hiKher," is the way the announcement pints it. This car is put out on the reputation of the Case | Company—a company known and re spectecf since 1842. As a product of one of America's pioneer industries, it is boinwi to be met with great ap proval tty the automobile trade. There are many talking points in the new announcement. The wheel base of 120 inches is exceptionally long fofr a car of this price. The en- i gine which develops from 40 to 45 j horsepower, is designed with 3*&-inchj bore and t>-ineh stroke. Westinghouse i ignition, starting and lighting equip- ; ment are used, and the lubrication is an especially designed force feed type, j Jpann*, jfepilf 4 nrril^ A ROOMY.

W. H. SCHUE Distributor 2412 NORTH SIXTH STREET SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 19, 1916. The gasoline is carried in the cow!, so the feed to the carburetor is by , gravity. The clutch is of the cone type, J of special Case design in construction. | An interesting feature in this car is j the deep section of the frame, its greatest depth being at the point of suspension of the cantilever spring. 1 These springs are attached beneath the frame, to do away with the usual I overhang. They are attached to the rear axle by an exclusive means of construction. A ball and socket joint j is used, which does away with all ! side strain and allows the springs to j do only spring duty. The body of the J car is all steel, and here agajn the | Case Company Is marking a departure ■ in the way of doing things. The up- ! holstery is of removable genuine grain 1 leather, which means that an owner can have as many sets as his personal taste requires. There are so many times when a change in color scheme I is most pleasing and restful, besides ; offering an opportunity for easy cleaning, that it is expected that this feature will cause a great deal of fa- ; vorable comment. The front seats are divided and adjustable backward and | forward, as are the. clutch and brake j pedal. The lines of the car are some- I what unusual, as its designers have 1 kept away from angles. All of the lines of the car are curves, from the broad fenders and cowl to the grace ful slope, of the rear of the body. One j of Chicago's well-known automobile newspaper men. who has made many trips in this car, pronounces its per formance "little short of marvelous," j and believes that the performance of the'car justifies the company in de- j scribing it as 'the Car That Makes Ex- ! tra Cylinders Unnecessary.' " The representation for the Case i Forty was recently placed with Con over & Mehring, as the Case Com pany intends to further the interests of the motorcar department apart from the other lines of machinery. OLDS EIGHT AT A POPULAR PRICE Reputation Established Years Ago Adds Prestige and Invites Confidence in New Model Success for the new Oldsmobile's models has made this company one of the most important of those who have , brought about the present remark able resolution in the motorcar in i dustry, with its sensational lowering :of prices, improvement of types and resulting big sales. Finding a genuine demand for the eight-cylinder car. the Oldsmoblle Company was quick to produce one at a popular price. At $1195. this car ! represents one of the most important idevelopments in a year of radical ac -11 tion. I F. S. Gans. manager of the East End Auto Co., describes the types for | this year and their popularity: "The Oldsmoblle Company have i also reduced the price of the Four from $1285 to $1095, and are now securely fixed in the popular-priced tield where there is the most, action. Our six-cylinder model we have drop- I ped. It is on the Eight and the Four I that we will base our appeal to the public. I 'The Four at the reduced price is ! not a car lowered in quality. In fact, it is a better machine than the one we sold for the higher price. We are in line with other standard makers, in | that we have recognized that it is not enough merely to reduce the price of a car. The quality must also be main tained. "As a matter of fact, this is a bet ter car than our Four of last year, in spite of the lowered pric°. The power unit is identical, but the wheelbase and body room have been increased. 'Changes had to he made to meet the increased wheelbase. T he helical gears on the car axle are driven through the springs instead of the 1 torque rod. This results in much easier riding. Based On High Reputation 1 "The special strength of the Olds mobile appeal, lies in the fact that this company has a reputation. It has been established many years. It has made high-class cars. Its merits are known. It is no mushroom con cern. "Therefore, all question of experi ment is eliminated. The buyer takes ino chance when he trusts our new eight or buys our reduced cost four. It is not to be forgotten that our com pany has been in the business of mak ing gasoline motors since 1880. We rank with the very oldest. "In presenting an eight to the pub < lie we have no intention to reflect on j the six. AVe are simply catering to a strong demand. "Our eight gets under way with a | velvet smoothness and hardly a <sug i gestion of applied force. The accei i eration is swift as lightning. The car shoots out like an arrow, and is so sensitive to the throttle that it seems to be alive. It offers an almost total absence of sound and vibration, a new lightness, a new compactness, j "All this is combined with a most surprising economy of maintenance. "The power plant occupies very little space in comparison with its i horsepower. The bonnet is no higher or wider than tor our four. The ! smart, low lines are retained, i "The car is light. Its consumption of gasoline compares favorably with I four-cylinder cars. Its power is steady j smooth and strong. It takes on the 'high' hills that an average car would hesitate to ascend in low or inter mediate. I "In appearance, the car gives no \ hint of its small first cost. The body is splendidly original. The lines are strikingly low, the type being much |in vogue. The body sides are high, I seats deep, cushions soft, and there is I ample leg room. Comfort speaks for itself in every feature of this car. The | solid-cast aluminum running boards i and toe boards, the long and buoyant springs, the clear, seasoned hickory wheels in natural finish, the interior woodwork of the Circassian walnut, the lockers in the dash, are all de tails that enforce the admiration. It is a complete, perfect car. With the car comes every essential equipment. | It is a car ready for the road, and destined for long service on the road ; when it passes from maker to user. I "Similarly, there is wonderful value in the four for $1095. i "This is a large, smooth-running i car, comfortable as a divan. The doors arc full 23 inches in width. There is unusual room in the tonneau, 47 Inches from the rear seat to the I front seat. The front compartment [measures 41 inches from the inside of j the back seat to the clutch pedal. Tliees are dimensions that show what an effort has been made for comfort, i "The body indicates a car for S2OOO or s3ouo. if is solidly built, luxurlous |ly finished and permanently silent. I Strips of felt distributed through the I body at proper points eliminate all noise-producing frictions." Makes $119,050 on SI,OOO of Reo Stock in 11 Years j Here's an Aladdin's Lamp story I that comes out of Lansing, where Reo cars are made. Every man who travels Michigan knows the Downey House, one of the most famous liostelries in the entire 1 State. Any one who has ever stayed at the 1 Downey House knows genial "Billy" i Grove. "Billy" is now manager of | the Downey House—Chas. P. Downey ; has long since come to leave every, j thing to "Billy." But in 1904 when I the Reo Motor Car Company was ! first incorporated, "Billy" held the j position of clerk. i "Billy" was one of the many Lans i ing people who had implicit faith in the men who were then starting in ; the new enterprise, and he invested the, to liiin, large sum of one thou : sand dollars, in Reo stock. 1 Recently when the Reo stockhold ; era met and decided to increase the i capitalization of the company to j $10,000,000 at the same time voting a 100 per cent, stock dividend, "Billy" i sat down and figured up how much ' his thousand dollar investment had j deevloped into in the eleven years since the inception of Reo. He found j that it now amounted to one hundred nineteen thousand and fifty dollars. In order to understand this tre mendous increase one must remem ber that the Reo Motor far Companv , was originally incorporated for only t five hundred thousand dollars, then | increased to one million, later to four millions and now to ten millions; and ! that beside the stock dividends de clared at those various times, there has been something like fifteen lmn ; dred per cent, in cash dividends dis s bursed among the Reo shareholders. I "Billy" Grove's original thousand j dollars' worth of stock has developed into twenty-four hundred shares. This lat the present market value, 35, plus i the cash dividends he has received | gives him a net earning on his orig inal thousand of more than one hun dred and eighteen thousand dollars. "And best of all." says Lonald E. ' Bates, secretary and treasurer of the Reo Motor Car Company, "is the fact that "Billy" Grove's story is preeise- Ily the story of a great many other : Lansing people who had confidence ;in the men who* organized the Reo j Company, and whose confidence has ! been justilied and so handsomely re- I warded."
