The highest honor conferred on any industrial
organixatson during the war was the award
of the Champion Liberty Motor Builders'
Pennant to the workers of Nordyke & Mor
mon Company. Awarded for October , IQIS %
Competition. Permanently awarded Nov. 16.
Enthusiasm over exceptional accuracy of manufacture and
noteworthy improvements is reflected in sales—-one hundred
and seventy-one cars sold at New York and Chicago Shows
T the New York and Chicago Automobile Shows, where are
/ % exhibited the latest achievements of automotive engineers
and manufacturers, the Marmon exhibit was one of those
which attracted most attention. Crowds surrounded the
booth all day long.
The remarkable accuracy of manufacturing which the Nordyke
& Marmon organization acquired in the building of aircraft engines
during the war created as profound an impression as did the intro
duction, four years ago, of the Marmon scientific principles of light
weight construction.
A REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION
The unique feature of the Marmon exhibit which drew so much
attention on the opening day of the Indianapolis Automobile Show
was the sensation of the New York and Chicago Shows.
Two men tear down and completely rebuild a Marmon high ef
ficiency motor in one hour and fifteen minutes.
It is not the purpose of this remarkable demonstration to show
great speed in tearing down and rebuilding engines. It is given as a
striking proof of the exceptional accuracy and precision which distin
guish the Marmon high efficiency motor.
Motor Age made the following editorial comment: “The Nordyke
& Marmon Company was able to stage this display because the war
taught that company the possibility and the advisability of working to
closer limits—a resultant of airplane engine construction. The Lib
erty motor contracts of the Mamion company called for both quan
tity production and hairline accuracy of work. And the lessons
learned redound to the advantage of the motor car industry.”
AUTOMOBILE AUTHORITIES ENTHUSIASTIC
The following excerpts from New York newspapers indicate the
impression made by the new series Marmon 34 at the New York Show:
The New York Evening Post: “The Marmon 34, with its
High Efficiency Motor, seems as pronounced a novelty as was the
first Marmon 34, shown four years ago, with its radical departure
from conventional design.”

The New York Sun: “Even veteran manufacturing head*
agree that it is the most interesting demonstration of close limit*
manufacturing ever staged at a national show. . . . New Mar
mon 34 spells efficiency. Splendid external finish of motor indi
cates its internal precision.”
The New York American: “The parts displayed at this ex
hibit prove that the internal finish of the new model is as splendid
as the exterior o* the Marmon, which has always been exceptional.”
IHE EVENING Telegram: “So accurately are the parts made
and finished that the two men can complete the tearing down and
rebuilding in less than one hour and a half.”
Enthusiasm reflected in sales
At all the shows the impression created by the new series Marmon
34 was reflected in the sales made. At the New York and Chicago
Shows alone, 171 of the new series Marmon 34's were sold by the New
York and Chicago distributors and by other dealers. Thirty cars were
sold at retail during the week of the Kansas City Show. At Phila
delphia, Milwaukee and other show's visitors gave concrete proof of
their enthusiasm by placing orders for new' Marmons.
given every afternoon and evening
These demonstrations will be given every afternoon at 3:00 o’clock
and every evening at 8:30 during the Indianapolis Automobile Show.
A detailed explanation is given during the demonstration.
All models of the new series Marmon 34, the high efficiency motor
and the various parts, are on display at the Marmon exhibit at the State
Fair Grounds. Factory experts are present to explain in detail the
various refinements and the improved methods of manufacturing.
Do not miss seeing this interesting demonstration and exhibit of
the new series Marmon 34, the product of a pioneer institution of
Indianapolis.
Or, if more convenient, visit the Indianapolis showrooms, Merid
ian and Eleventh Streets, where at your leisure you can inspect all the
models of the new series Marmon 34, and where you will gain much
interesting information regarding Marmon mechanical precision.
