In addition to a fleet of four of
the newest creations of the Star com
pany's products on display at the Au

"Just as soon as a spectator mani
fests an interest in any Star feuture
wq'U rush him out the door and into
one of our' models waiting outside,"
sand Ken Abies, manager. "Then we'll
not only demonstrate the feature, but
we'll explain all the other points as
well. It won't make any difference
whether the interested person is s
prospective buyer or not. We want
to let everybody know all about the
Star."
Tbe entire Star staff will be on

Cannonball Baker
Shatters Records
Once again Cnnnonball .Baker ia on
the firing line. This time, for his
premiere in a Ilickenbacker, be has
shattered a flock of records between
New York and InuinnapoliB.
Eastern and middle west roads are
covered with ice and snow, and to
be able to stay on the road Baker had
to use chains on all four wheels, yet
he miide sustained average speeds as
high aa 55.78 miles per hour between
Columbus and Indianapolis.
He finished tJie first leg of a troniji
continental trip at Indianapolis, mat
ing the 733 miles from New York in
10 hours and 41 lninutew, thereby lop
ping an hour and 54 minutes off the
old record and beating train jine by
an hour, according to word received
here by Fred Keip, wholesale sales
manager of Kichmond Motor com
pany, Kfckenbacker distributors.
Baker Is trying to make faster run
ning time between New York and Los
Two new world's records have just
been made by "Smites" Marow, dirt
track driver, in an Oldsmobile Coach.
Marow drove 121 hours, 5U" min
utes more than five days and nights
Continuously, while shackled to the
steering wheel of the Uldsmobile six.
During .that time bo covered 3,05$
miles.
The previous endurance record was
121 hours and Utt minutes, and the
mileage was 3,300. Marow exceeded
the previous mileage record after 110
hours of driving.
Marow made his record breaking
run in and about Battle Creek, Mich
igan. He was handicapped by having
to travel over Blippery, snow covered
roads during the entire drive, with
temperature below zero at times.
Forfeit Is Posted
Several weeks ago Marow declared
his belief that be could break the en
durance record, and nt the same time
asserted that he cuuld wear out any
light six-cylin tiered car during the
run. This latter declaration was
challenged by Lee Barnhart, Uldsmo
bile dealer in Battle Creek, who offer
ed Marow an Oldsmobile to make the
test with and agreed to forfeit the
car and $1,000 in cash if the Oldsmo
bile failed to stand up as long as Mar
ow could drive it.
Marow was handcuffed to the wheel
and chained to the Beat. Thr hood
of the car wns sealed at the start of
the run by Mayor Charles C. Green
of Battle Creek and was opened at
no time during the 122 hours. The
Angeles than can be made on limited
trains and having combat ted snow and
ice successfully for the first leg of
the journey with a gain of an hour up
to Indianapolis he bids fair to Jiave
a nice record when he arrives in Call
fcrnia for the going gets better to
ward the west.
locks and seals were put on by Chief
of l'olice LaVern Fonda and city of
ficials of-Battle Creek. Marow and
mid the cur were uuder constant ob
servation of newspapermen during
tin im time, lvrimtic checks wore
made by police officiuls and at fire
stations along the routes traveled.
Auto Always on Go
At no time did the automobile come
to a complete halt. Gas, oil and wa
ter were takeu on as the car was
slowly driven backward and forward.
Food and drink were served Marow In
the car, he partaking them while driv
ing. During the nights Marow drove
at speeds ranging from 50 to 68 miles
an hour in his effort to beat the mile-
I age reeord. On one occasion, when
Marow s route paralleled railroad
tracks, be passed the famous -"Wolverine,"
one of the fasted New York
bound lirolieds, on a four mile straight
away course.
Marow was able to walk unassisted
when, at the conclusion of the run,
the handcuffs and chains were- unfas
tened. He was declared in excellent
condition as to his heart and lung
action by Dr. J. J. Holes, a famous
Battle Creek specialist, who accom
panied him on the last six hours of
his run.
The Oldsmobila wns In practically
perfect condition, although it had no
attention or adjustments during the
3.558 mile non-aton drive. The car
( was a new one not yet broken in,
J having been run but 202 miles when
Marow started his record breaking
I tour.
Notch on Wheel Is
Big Aid in Backing
A little scheme that makes it easier
to back out of a driveway ia to make
a little notch on the under side of
the steering wheel nenrest the driver
when the front wheels are in u

starts backing straight, and . keeps
the notch in the original position tho

following extracts were takeu:
Description Is Strange
"The Oltlsmohite ruusbout muat be
termed a 'medium weight car' ainr'
it belongs to that clans of automo
bile! to which carriages of hou to 1,
lOO pounds belong. The body of Uie
vehicle has the lines of a runabout
und a curved dasn. The wheels are
of the suspension type and shod with
28x2) single tube tires. AU the
machinery, tank, the battery, etc.,
are in the rear purt of the body.
A centrally located steering lever in
provided to guide the machine, and all
control levels operated by baud are
on the right side of the seal and the
operator, who grasps the steering
lever with his left hand, the change I
speed lever with his right, and ac
tuates the brake pedal with his right :
foot. On the extreme right side of
the dash a small pedal is ' provided
which controls the mixturo and is
used as a speed accelerator.. A sim
ilar pedal uear the heelboard relieves
compression when starting.
Single Cylinder Ued
"The engine ia of the single cyl
inder variety, with a bore of 4V& in
ches and a stroke of 6 inches, and
runs at a normal speed ot about 000
revolutions per minute power ia
transmitted from the shaft to the
rear axle by means of a roller chain.
The epeed of an Oldsmobile on a
good road is said to be at a rate
of 20 milea per hour at a maximum."
Comnared to this is the present au
tomobile with four, six, eight and 12
cylinders capable of all speeds from
one to 00 miles per hour in high gear;
lArtrirnl eouiument for all purposes
and bodies more comfortable and lux.
iirlniin than the average home of ivw.
The basic principle of mixing air and
trnKnlina vonor. compressing it in a
cvlinder and firing the mixture with a
spark is about the only thing the pre
sent day automobile has in common
with ita predecessor of 25 years ago.
Variety will he the keynote of the
Bringle Auto company dittplay at the
Automobile show this year. The firm
has leaned apace for three cars, and
a model of the new Pnige, the new
Jewett, and the (Jre.f will be dis
played every day. The models will
be changed each night, ao that the
people wilt (fct a chance to see the
entire line of each car.
"Should anyone be curious about
any moth-It uot on display we will
have our showroom open any time,"
said Mr. Bringle, "and the cars are
ready to go out for a trial spin if any
one wishes."
The entire force wjll be on hand
every minute during the show week.
Harry ltusl and L. W. Clark, salt's
men, Kill be at the display, while
Mr. Bringle himself will divide bit
time between the armory and his
salesroom. "We export to be busy."
he says, "but not too busy to point
out the fine points of the Faigf. the
Jewett er tbe snappy little Gray."

THREE years ago we built the first Jewett car
a Six. It was revolutionary in two ways.
It had about one-third more power than was
ever put into a car of its sire. It was sturdier by
hundreds of pounds than otfier cars of its size.
And it was, a Six remember that. ' Three)
years ago it was a sturdy, big-powered Six. It
could outperform and stand up with cars of far
hither price. That was when other makers In
Jewett's price class $1000 to $1500 offered
dependable but sluggish Fours, or Light Sixes,
Underpowered and short-lived.
"Sixes Do Beat Fours"
You remember when we advertised "Sires Do
Beat Fours." It caused a lot of talk. Fours
were then stilt considered best in our price field.
Folks admitted a Six was "nicer to handle"
but said: "These Light Sixes dont stand up."
It took a Jewett to do it. That's what
made the Fours scamper toeover, and they havs
scampered fast. Today only two makers sell
marry Fours in Jewett's price dan. And to be
safe, they have recently brought out other cars -with
mora cylinders.
How About "Light Sires?
And what has become of 'Tight" Sires? You
hear of them no more. Folks wanted a sturdy
Six with ample power. Sixes that would last
like Fours. Moderate-priced, modenste-aised,
economical Sixes that would perform like big,
high-priced Sixes.
It took a Jewett to do it. Jewett waa bnfltto
prove these things possible to gi'e the public
what it wanted. So Jewett literally ran away
with the field. In three short years the public
has invested nearly one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars in Jewett cars.
No wonder you ceased hearing about "Light"
Sixes. No wonder millions in equipment have
been sent to tbe scrap pile to make possible new
cars to compete with the Jewett, But run them
on the coal scales and you will still find them
"Light" Sixes hundreds of pounds lighter than
Jewett. Check up on the piston displacement
of their motors. You will still find them under
powered 20 to 30 less power than the
Jewett.
Now a Net Jewett
And to make sure of Jewett's leadership to
keep the Jewett the finest ear we know how to
build there is now a New Jewett. Imagine all
we have told you about the old Jewett. Magnify
it with all the superlatives you can think of.
And still you will come short of getting a pic
ture in your mind and eye of what this New
Jewett is and does.
Without enlarging the mctor, without speed
ing it up, we have yet increased Jewett's power
20 I We have introduced new spring construc
tion for balloon tires, which makes the Jewett
ride like a car with 125-inch wheelbase this
without sacrificing Jewett's cxxi veiiicnt-eaio
wheelbase.
New Smoothness Silence Beauty
With a counterbalanced crankshaft, chain
front-drive motor, we have reduced vibration
and noise as near zero as will ever be teached.
And finally, with new bodies, we have dressed
the Jewett up as beautifully as any car you
have ever seen.
Let ue show yon a New Jewett either la our
store or at your front door. We want you to
take one for a long drive. Handle it yourself.
Only then will you realise why Jewett will re
tain its lead for maay years more why it is
the first choice amongmod crate-sized cars today.
