Three additional all-sesason models
are announced by the Cole Motor Car
Company of Indianapolis, supplement
ing the twe recently offered to the
motoring public. All eof thess cars
are replete with pleasing appoint
mentn. Several exclusive Cole fea
tures, combined with other mvom-'
ances, which have heretofore been re
stricted to open cars, add a new de
sirability to motoring in all seasons
The Tourosine, the Toursedan and
the Sportosine are worthy contem
poraries of the Sportcoupe and the
Sportsedan, previously announced.
The flush panel type of body con
#truction used throughout in the Cole
Aero-Eight all-season models is one
of the features which marks them as
entirely new creations in their class.
The designers have removed all over- l
lapvpmg of the upper structure, and
have made a cleaner, stronger body
then was possible under the old
soethod
When the experienced motorist
glances at any one of the enclosed
Aero-Ilights he is instantly impressed
with the fact that all ugly protrusions
have been removed from the body
and he sees only the artistic finish
of a luxurious motor car fitted to the
motoring requirements of every sea
son.
A windshield which in service Is
actually storm-proof and ylelds a
clear vision has been designed by
Cole engineers and installed on the
Tourosine and the Toursedan. By an
easy adjustment of the three panes
of glass In the windshield a vacuum
is created between the front and rear
sections and a current of air is drawn
from within the car instead of into it,
Snow and rain is thus forced out in
a steady stream to either side be
tween the two sections of the wind
shield and a clear vision space of
about two inches is constantly main
tained on a level with the driver's
eyes,
The Aero-Eight Sportosine com
bines in one car the vim and dash of
& sport model with the luxury and
dignity of a limousine. A glass parti
tion between the front and rear com
partments, operated by an automatic
regular, makes this car instantly con
wvertible into a sedan or a limousine,
T'he rear seat has roomy accommoda-~
tions for two passengers, and two
cab seats, which fold into the back
of the solid front seat, gives the ton
neau of the Sportosine a total seating
capacity of four passengers. With the
driver's compartment, the car will
accommodate six.
The Tourosine is built especlally
for the motorist who desires a luxur
jous seven-passenger enclosed con
veyance, Like the Sportosine, it can
be changed at will into either a lim
ousine or a sedan by means of the
adjustable glass partition. It s
+ equipped with the clear vision, storm
proof windshield, which is an exclu
sive Cole feature, adding desirable
comfort to all-season driving.
In the Toursedan, the motorist who
desires to drive his own car for fam
fly, use in all seasons, will find a car |
admirably suited to his wishes, It
has full seven-passenger capacity and
the front compartment has been de
signed so that those who eccupy it
will enjoy equal comfort with those in
the tonneau.
The Aecro-Eight all-season models
are furnished in Aero-Gray or Ameri
can Flag Blue with mohair velvet up
holstery to match. Interior fittings
and accessories are tinted to blend
with the upholstery and exterior dec
orations. Choice of color scheme to
suit the motorist’'s individual taste,
pr 'w':ro or l-teel mheels may be had |
n e enclosed models at extra
charge.

By Republic Trucks
Some people, If they dominated the ico
eream business of a city the msize of Ean
Antonlo, would think they were deing
about all that could be expected. But the
Riegler Ice Cream Company have proved
it otherwise, and have proved it so con
clusively that they require a fleet of
iwenty Republic trucks and trallers to
patisfy the ice cream hungry populace
within a hundred-mile radius.
On some routes, they find it falrly easy,
But om most routes the shovels and mud
chains never get rusty. The picture shows
A typieal Instance of what the company s
up against,
A representative of the Riegler com
pany in commenting on their delivery sys
tem said, “Of course, if it were not for
the motor truck it would be absolutely im
poesible for us to attempt to handle busi
»ess outside of San Antonio, In fact, we
couldn’'t handle even our local business

The bigzest users of motor trucks
in the world are the American farm
ers, with 79,789 motor trucks in oper
ation,
Manufacturers come second with
75,928, and retaflers third with 74,-

timates for 1918 show a tremendoul.
increase in the number of motor
trucks in use; but with the farmer
still in the lead.
It Is estimated that during 1918
approximately 860,000,000 tons otl
farm products were hauled tmmuketl
in motor trucks by the farmers and
Ira.rdaner: of the United States. ‘
The actual operating figures aver
{aged for the United States show that
motor truck transportation s twice
as cheap as horse-drawn transporta
tion.
The motor truck handles life's ne
cessities, |
“lerislation which hits motor
trucks hits at the very source of the
life supply of the people,” says R. E,
lulton, vice president of the Interna
tional Motor Company, manufacturer
of Mack trucks. “To unwisely legis.
late against the motor truck Is to
take food away from those who need
it and to increase its cost. ‘
“The motor truck is the people's
friend and servant, and' legislation
aimed to injure and handicap motor
truck transportation is a Dblow
against the best interests of the peo
ple—both producers and econsumers.
“Much of this 350,000,000 tons of
food products hauled from the farm
to the city by motor trucks was of
a perishable nature, and hundreds of
thousands of tons of it would have
been lost but for the rapid transpor
tation possible with the motor truck.
“legislation almed to hit motor
truck transportation is the result of
a narrow-minded attitude of some
who hold mistaken notions that the
motor truck hurts certain interests.
The motor truck serves the needs of
the people, It is for the people, both
producers and consumers, to see that
the motor truck is given a square
deal and not discriminated against.
“Diserimination against motor
trucks 1s discrimination against the
source of livelihood of the people.”

is the first of a series which will
show in a true light the present status

A summary of the records made by
the various types of airplanes, sea
planes and dirigibles is included.
While it was originally intended
that the distribution of these book
lets would be limited to the Cham

it is now possible for those interested
in commercial aviation to secure a

How to Properly
Clean That Motor
Car of Yours
The June fewme of the American Auto
mobile Digest carried an exceedingly com
plete and practical article on this most
comsmonu but mowt misunderstood subject.
After a brief outline of the ways to keep
the motor, mud pan, hood, radiator air
#paces, tranmmiesion, frame, pedals, con
trol levers, etc., clean, the article takes
up the proper methods of cleaning the
body of the car,
“During the summer months the ear
should frequently be given a bath of good,
pure, cool water throuph the medium of
A hose or & soft wool sponge. Water cast
upon a body of sensitive varnish under a
fieavy hose pressure is brutal treatment,
and mvariably results in destroying the
high prilllancy of the varnish, An easy
flow of water through the hose Is all
that Is required. Following this, the use
of a soft fleece wool sponge carrying a
good volume of water, will CArry awny
all foreign matter and renew the luster
and strengthen the new hody of varnish.”
The author of the article recommends
drying the surface with a chamols skin,
wiping the surfaces lightly and letting the
skin cateh up the water until only a thin
vapor and fine drops remain. ‘

The influence of the woman of the
family must be reckoned with in the
motor world today. She usually has
a deciding voice in the selection not
only of the automobile itself, but, as
her knowledge of motor matters In
crease, also has a pronounced influ
‘nce in the selection of the tires.
Getting home from a motor trip
without tire trouble means a good
deal of satisfaction to the man who
drives, but means fully as much to
the lady in the back seat who, though
only a passenger and not called on
KING &
“The Car ot No Regrets’’
for ald when tire changes are made,
likes to finish a run without experi
‘encing the futile exasperation caused
by a bad tire.
There is something in the feminine
makeup which brings a feeling of
keen humiliation to the lady paseen
ger who eits in a car and watches
other machines roll smoothly by while
her driver tofls away at a tire change.
The commiserating stares of the aun
toists who go by don’t add anything
to her happiness,
Accidents will happen even in the
best tire families, but the United
States Tire Company believes the ex
planation for the popularity of its
tires with feminine motorists is found
in the sturdy dependability which
keeps them rolling along mile after
mile without trouble. To the woman
who drives they are a special boon be
cause the, occasions when she must
change a tire are few and far between,

More weight tn an automobile tire
is no indication of quality. As a mat
ter of fact exceptional welight in a
tire may be one of the surest proofs
of its inferiority,
The weight of a tire depends large-
Iy on the materials that are mixed in
with the rubber in the course of man
ufacture. High specific gravity in
rubber compositions can be caused
only by the use of a large percentage
of heavy compounding materials. Tire
experts know that all parts of the
casing except the tread give longer
service if they are made with the
addition of very little compounding
materials. Another fact well known
to the experts is that in making the
trade the greatest toughness and
durability can be secured by adding
ingredients that are relatively light
The tire user can readily see that
there is, therefore, no reason why
tires should be heavy In order to be
strong. Of two tires of equal dimen.
slons the lighter is in all probability
the stronger. In pointing out this
fact the United States Tire Company
calls attention to the light weight of
its tires as an indication of the high
quality of the materials used in their
construction aad as an explanation
of their toughness and rugged wear
ing qualities.

The King “8” is one of the two makes that first introduced the
eight-cylinder motor car in this country. Since the appearance
of the first King, it has made good In this and fifty-six foreiga
countries.
Today the King “8” is better than ever. Owners when In need
of a new car, usually buy another King, because the King “8"
is truly “The Car of No Regrets.” Many owners are driving
their third or fourth or fifth King, which means but one thing:
This Proves Its High Standard of Excellence
There are too many good cars today for a man to continue to
drive a car that {s inferior in any respect. The King “8," we
say with all confidence, will satisfy you, no matter on what
qualifications If it's power you want, a demonstration will prove
this car.
Likewise those other points yon usually want to know of—
speed, get-away, hill-ability, high-gear flexibility, riding and driv
ing comfort—a demonstration will tell you more than we could
say or write on this multicylindered car.
And, remember, the King “8" (s the most ecomomical hgh-powered
car on the market. You'll be pleased with the economical gasoline
and tire mileage.
When you buy a King “8" you get MOTOR PERFECTION—King De.
signed and King Built—not a “stock” engine dropped into a frame.,
These are but a few reasons for the King suscess—a few reasons why
King owners are ever on the increase.
