Autoist Resorts to Novel Measure
to Secure Right of Way,
Passes Hint Along,
One of the summer touring annoy
ances is always the motorist who
monopnlizes the center of the hjgh
way, regardless of the rate at which
he is traveling, and thereby compels
these who want to pass him to do so
at either inconvenience or considera
ble risk.
Three or four such drivers, scat
tered along a dusty, narrow highway,
can remove from the motoring pleas
ure of others so much that there is
little left.
Since July 4, however, such expe
riences have not befallen “Uncle
Dan” Schnabel, a veteran motorist,
of Johnstown, Pa. “Uncle Dan” now
takes the road prepared for just such
emergencies.
His Independence Day celebration
took the form of a jaunt from Johns
town to Altoona, a famous mountain
road. He had also provided himselt
and party with a plentiful supply of
noise-makers and fireworks.
Several miles out of Johnstown, on
a narrow part of the highway, “Uncle
Dan's” Studebaker “Six” caught up
with a motoreyelist. In vain “Un
cle Dan” manipulated his electric
horn. The car ahead kept doggedly
in the center.
In sheer pique “Uncle Dan"” reach
ed into a handy sack and extracted a
giant torpedo, which he hurled toward
the other car. It hit the stone road
under the car ahead, and let go with
a bang. The car ahead immediately
pulled out at the side of the road.
“Uncle Dan” and the Studebuker
swept by. As he looked back, “Un
cle Dan” saw the crew of the other
car frantically inspecting all four
tires to find the suspected blowout. |
One experience was enough. As he
picked up car after car on the nar
row mountain road, “Uncle Dan”
never hesitated. One torpedo, and he
had the road. Since then he never
takes his Studebaker out on any of
the mountain highways without a ruU}
equipment of torpedoes. e ‘

1915 Model Buicks Arrive at Atlanta Branch
Valve in the Head Construction Is Retained
The motor used in the Model C Buick, shown below, is, with the refinements of various years
added, primarily the same motor used in this size Buick car since 1909.
The history of the development of
the automobile industry in Atlanta
and the South has been one of intehse
{nterest, filled with storiés of suc
cesses, failures, human interest and
tragedy.
Many concerns there have been
which sprang up, prospered for a while
and then died—some that began with
a blare of trumpets and banners fly-

ing—only to meet the inevitable fate
of the inexperienced egotist.
A fair percentage of motor houses
in Dixie have weathered the gales of
adversity and kept open their doors,
distributing a good product and real
izing a conservative profit. But a
few there have been which, with one
line of cars, have built up a formida
ble business and a following that is
practically unassailable. 3
Of these few the Buick Motor Com
pany’s Atlanta branch stands out pre
eminently—a conclusive evidence of
the possibilities of honest manufac
ture and good business principles,
when applied to the distribution of
automobiles.
From far back in the days of the
early two-aylinder Model F, on
through the long years of develop
ment to the present highly perfect:d
1915 line, Buick has been a strong
factor in Southern automobile circles.
Through every year of miotor car
development in the South a glance at
the ever-changing motor ‘horizon has
shown Buick steadily building, con
stantly progressing, until now the At.
lanta office occupies the prestige of
second position in rank of the
branches in the country.
It was in the season of 1914, witn
George D. McCutcheon in charge ‘)f'
Bulck affairs, that the Atlanta byanch
began to ascend, with giganicc
strides, to the goal.of big success.
Evesw portion of the large territory
is now covered in a manner that in
sures both owner and prospect the
utmost in service and attention. The
organization of dealers Mr. McCutch
eon has gathered around him are, In
every instance, men whose imegrityl
and knowledge have been tried and

found not wanting, and any Buick
dealer will tell you that a Buick con
tract is a big asset.
The Building occupied by Buick in
Atlanta can hardly be equaled any
where in the entire United States for
area and arrangement of space. I%s
beauty of architecture is one of the
feature sights of the city.
Coupled with this magnificent or
ganization and superb facility i{s an
exceptionally strong line of cars. The
1914 models were undoubtedly the last
word in automobile construction, and
have long ago been placed in the
hands of owners whose admiration
for the qualities contained therein
runs to the superlative degree.
Following directly upod the heels of
this record of service, satisfaction
and success comes the announcement
of the 1915 Buick, a perusal of which
strongly emphasizes ‘he slogan of tne
company—" "When better automobiles
are built, Buick will build them.”
By Dodge Bros. Co.
Many have erred in believing the
Dodge car, announced a short time ago
and exhibited at the State Fair grounds,
Detroit, July 4 and 5, was the product
of the Dodge Brothers. .
The Dodge Motor Car Company was
incorporated at or about the same time
that it became known that Dodge
Brothers would manufacture a car. A
man by the name of Dodge gave his
name to the company and its car, and
thereby caused omnsiderable confusion
for the Dodge Brothers’ interests.
Just how this tangle is to be straight
ened out is not known. |

Maker Has Founded Some of the
' '
Greatest Concerns jn America.
High-Grade Smalt.Car,
The car that has been named the
Briscoe” has had quite an inter
esting histery up to the present date
—and assuredly bids fair to create
considerable more of a truly re
markable nature in the future.
Its sponsor and namesake is the
same Briscoe who founded the Bris
coe Manufacturinzg Company; who,
with David Buick, built the first
Buick car; who, with J. D. Maxwell,
founded the Maxwell-Briscoe Molor
Company, and who, with Horace De-
Lisser, organized the Ajax-Grieb
Rubber Company.
In the fall of 1912 Mr. Briscoe went
to France, taking with him two
American engineers. There, collabo~
rating with French and German en
gineers, he was able to successfully
work out his ideals unhampered by
any distracting influences. His first
car was running in May of the next
year. It was '‘banged around” un-<
reservedly and cruelly; and while
only a few minor changes were found
advisable, yet a second and a third
car were successively constructed,
until ultimately practical perfection
was quite evidently reached in this
f)'g_e of medium sized motor car.
he first American-made Briscoe
cars were turned out the first part
of last April. These were thorough
ly submitted to strenuous tests to as
cértain if in any way or by any
means a better product could be as
sured; and these tests othe Amer
fcan cars were productive of results
equal in all respects to the splendid
records made by the models origi
nally constructed in France. ’
A regular producticn of cars was
begun at factories in Jackson, Mich.,
last May. Even when some good
friends in Detroit were expressing
themselves as hopeful that this car
might make itz appearance sometime
during the latter part of the year,
the factory was actually turning out
several cars each day. J The produc
tion is now from ten to fourteen cars
a day, and it is expected that by
August 15, at the latest, what the
company terms their ‘“standard pro
duction” of twenty to thirty cars per
day will be reached
WATCH FOR OIL LEAKS.
A point deserving attention at the
hands of many automobile designers is
that of making cars oil-tight. This is
a fault found i:su,v with many modern
cars and is es;)eclany in evidence at
points in housings carrying loads of
heavy grease which often oozes out,
damaginz finish and collecting dust.
__GREAT YEAR FOR DEALERS,
That ‘Studebaker dealers the country
over have made more money up to
date this season than in any grlor year
is the statement of L. J. Ollier, the
Studebaker sales manager, who has
made a thorough trip of inspection
throughout the entire country.
