Autoist Resorts to Novel Measure
to Secure Right of Way.
Passes Hint Along.
1
One of the summer touring annoy
ances is always the motorist who
monopolizes the center of the high
way, regardless of the rate at which
he is traveling, and thereby compels
those 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
rlences 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 himself
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
¢le 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 Studebaker
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 full
equipment of torpedoes,
Y
Dodge Car Not Made
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 considerable confusion
for the Dodge Brothers' interests.
Just how this tangle Is to be straight
ened out is not known.

1915 Model Buicks Artive 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 intense
interest, filled with stories of suc
cesses, failures, human interest and
tragedy.
Many concerns there have been
.ch sprang up, prospered for a while
and then died—some that began with

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 thelr 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. ‘
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-cylinder Model F, on
through the long years of develop

It was in the season of 1914, witn

Buick affatirs, that the Atlanta branch
began to ascend, with giganiic
strides, to the goal of big success.
Every poruion of the large territory

The building occupied by Buick 1n
Atlanta can hardly be equaled any

Coupled with this magnificent or

exceptionally strong line of cars. The
