Three additional al-season models
are announoed by the Cole Motor Car
Company of Indianapolls, supplement
ing the two recently offered to-the
motoring public. All of these cars
are replete with pleasing appoint
ments. Several exclusive Cole fea
tures, combined with other conveni
ences, which have heretofors 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
struction 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
lapping of the upper structure, and
have made a cleaner, stronger body
then was possible under the old
method.
When the experienced motorist
glances at any one of the encloséd
Aero-lights 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
metoring requirements of every sea
son.
A windshield which in mservice is
actwally storm-proof and yields 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
ghicld and a clear vision space of
about two inches is constantly main
tained on a level with the driver's
eyes.
The Aero-REight Sportosine com
bines in one car the vim and dash of
a 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
vertible into a sedan or a limousine,
The 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 buflt especially
for the motorist who desires a Tuxur
fous Neven-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 is
equipped with the clear vision, storm
proof windshield, which is an exclu
give Cole feature, adding desirable
comfort to all-season driving.
In the Toursedan, the motorist who
desires to drive his own car for fam.-
ily use in all seasons, will find a car
admirably suited to his wishes, It
hasg full seven-passenger capacity and
the front cnmp'rtmont has been de
signed so that“those who occupy it
will enjoy equal comfort with those in
the tonneau.
The Aero-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
#uit the motorist’s individual taste,
or wire or steel mheels may be had |
in the enclosed models at extra
charge. y

Ice Cream 100 Miles
.
By Republic Trucks
Seme people, If they dominated the lcc
oream business of a city the size of San
Antonio, would think they were doing
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 flest of
twenty Republie trucks and trallers to
satisfy the ice cream hungry populace
within a hundred-mile radius,
On some routes, they find it falrly ey,
but on most routes the shovels and mud
chains never get rusty. The picture shows
@ typical instance of what the company 18
up against.
A representative of the Riegler com
yany in commenting on thelr delivery sys
tem said, “Of course, if it were not for
the motor truck it would be absolutely im.
possible for us to attempt to handle busi.
ness outside of San Antonlo, In fact, we
couldn’t handle even our local business

The biggest users of motor trucks
in the world are the American farm
ers, with 79,789 motor trucks in oper
ation, %
Manufacturers come second with
76,928, and retailers third with 74,-
486,
These figures are taken from relia
ble statisties for the year 1917. Es
timates for 1918 show a tremendc‘mu|
increase In the number of motor
trucks lin use; but with the farmer
still in the lead.
It ils estimated that during 1918
approximately 350,000,000 tons of|
farm products were hauled to market |
in motor trucks by the farmers and|
gardeners 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,
“Legislation which hits motor |
trucks hits at the very source of the|
life supply of the people,” says R, .
Fulton, vice president of the Interna
tional Motor Company, manufacturer
of Mack trucks. “To unwisely lezlu-‘
late against the motor truck is to|
take food away from those wha need |
it and to increase its cost,
“The motor truck is the people's
friend and servant, and legislation
aimed to injure and handieap motor
truck transportation is a Dblow
against the best interests of the peo
ple—~both producers and consumers.
“Much of this 360,000,000 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 {s 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 18 discrimination against the
gource of livelihood of the people.”

How to Properly
Clean That Motor
Car of Yours
The June imme of the American Auto
mobile Digest carried an exceedingly com
plets and praetical article on this most
common but most misunderstood subject.
After a brief outline of the ways to keep
the motor, mud pan, hood, radiator air
#paces, transmiesion, fraine. pedals, con
trol levers, ete., clean, the article takes
up the proper methods of cleaning the
body of the car,
“During the eummer months the ecar
should frequently be given a bath of good,
pure, cool water through the medium of
o hose or a soft wool sponge. Water cast
upon a body of sensitive varnish under a
heavy hose pressure is brutal treatment,
and invariably results in destroying the
high prilllancy of the varnish. An easy
flow of water through the hose Is ail
that 1s required. Following this, the use
of a soft fleece wool sponge carrying a
good volume of water, will carry away
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 chamois skin,
wiping the surfaces lightly and letting the
gkin catch up the water until only a thin
vapor and fine drops remain.

KING MOTORS SOUTHERN CO.

KiNG MOTOR CAR CO., DETROIT, MICH. :
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
ence 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
“The Car ot No Regrets’’
Distributed in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and East Tennessee by
for aid when tire changes are made,
likes to finish a run without experi
encing the futile exasperation caused
by a bad tire.
There s -omotm the feminine
makeup which a feeling of
keen humiliation to the lady passen
ger who sits in a car and watches
other machines roll smoothly by while
her driver tofls away at a tire change.
The commiserating stares of the au
toists who go by don’t add anything
to her happiness. ’
Accldents will happen even In the
best tie 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 in an automobile tire
is no indication of quality. As a mat
ter of fact exceptional welght in a
tire may be one of the surest proofs
of its Inferiority.
The welght of a tire depends large
ly on the materials that are mixed in
with the rubber in the course of man
ufactuge. 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
csing 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 s, therefore, no reason why
tires should be heavy in order to be
strong. Of two tires of equal dimen.
sions 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 an® as an explanation
of their toughness and rugged wear
ing qualities, !
