Specially Designed Coupe
Body Gives Car a Very
Distinctive Appearance.

bus brought out uuxtliury
body designs for the l-'ord cur to
fit t ho Model T chasals. The pub
lit; has been treated to creations
run King from cunoe-llko bus to
imitations of higher priced cars.
J)ts Wade of 1'ortlund hus
originated a special type, enclosed
body for the Kord coupe. This
Irficcially drslffned model was first
Introduced to J.a Grande lust week
when Thomas Jtuckinun bought
one throiiKh the l'erklns Motor
company and since that time two
more have been sold and will be
delivered the first of next week.
The Kord coupe, Willi thin type
of body presents a very attractive
tuid distinctive uppearance. One
of the features of the design is that
the entire machine la lowered. The
top is lowered several inches, u one
piece windshield put In und the
frame is undcrslung both front and
tear.
The Coupe rte-I.uxe rh the car Is
ffe culled is built from the regular
. l-'ord coupe body. The top of the
ordinary body is simply sliced off
several inches and the necessary
udjiiHlnientH In the steerinK column,
the driver's seat and other parts of
. the car to lake cure ot the lower
top arc made.
The lowered top is leather cov
ered and side, windows ure made
Entailer and oval shaped und the
rear half of the top on eueh side
is equipped with ornamental
braces.
With the seat lowered it was nec
essary to make some special ar
rangement for the gasoline tank
so the designers of the cur make
it optional with the purchaser to
have the tank either in the rear
compartment or hung below the
spare tire and equipped with a
vacuum tank.
The Coupe lie-Luxe, Is sold by
the J'erkins Motor company. lis
price is Just $im higher than the
regular Kord coupe.

Now that aummer is here there
is a great recrudescence of the
wanderlust among fair and viva
cious vacationists of the Western
Electric Works at Kearny, N. J.
Motoring is one of the most en
joyable as well as economical ways
to voyaga into vacation land and
groups of the girls have made his
tory by proving that anyone may
be a gypsy even under conditions
of present-day life.

PROGRESSING
(lly II. If. Itasse(t)
' (I'l'esideiit, Buick Motor '.)
I'rogress obtained by work of
the hardest kind has brought the
iiutomollve imlnsti-y within a quar
ter of a century from virtually
nothing to the commanding place
in the industrial life of our coun
try. Now that first place has been
attained, there should be no ten
dency to sit back satisfied. This
attitude must not be assumed tf
the industry is to retuin its lead-position.
The commercial .history of this.
country Is replete "with , lrisrunce.s
of manufacturers who felt that
they had arrived and could rent
content only later to be rudely
awakened by some young, vigorous
rival who recognized the principle
that to succeed you must progress.
10 very year for I wo decades the
leading uutomobilo manufacturers
have brought out what they hon
estly believed was the best car- In
Its price class, and felt that It
could not be excelled. Yet within
twelve months thejr own engineers
have proved that the, product could
be improved. And so it has gone
on, each year seeing better auto
mobiles and so it will continue us
long us it is possible to make Im
provements. Years. ago the Hoick Motor Co.
took for its slogun, "When Itetter
Automobiles are Built. BuU'k wilt
Ituild Them." This was not se
lected as a vainglorious boast, but
was predicated on the well defined
policy that Jtuick intends better
ing its product by the adoptions of
such Improvements as continuous
experience may develop.
Maybe the perfect automobile
Is yet to be built. No one can siy
how close or how far we ure from
that coveted result. Mxtensive re
search will reveal this, anil I his
fact (s recognized by the more pro
gressive manufacturers who ure
constantly striving to make a bet
ter car.
This has been tho policy of the
r.ulek Motor Compuny ami It will
continue ag such. The large en
gineering and research si alls of
the Hoick are constantly working
to creale better Hoicks, and as they
progress better Huieks will be
built.
It Is a good thing for the indus
try as a whole that, there Im a ten
dency to discard the hnbil of muk
fng changes merely for the sake of
having a cljange. Hut this extend
ed to the curtailment of real im
provements from year to year
would mean but. one thing ulti

AIR LIFT PUMP

air lift pump of Its type in the city

the Highway Killing station this
week.
The new pump Is a Hoyle Day

pressed air. The pump is in ap
pearance not unlike the ordinary
gasoline distributor but is vastly
different in operation. "
A large piston at the top of the
pump Is forced up by compressed
air thus drawing the p-.isoline out
of the underground storage tanks
into the car. The pump is entire
