r WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1919 DORRIS AUTOMOBILE ROUSES ENTHUSIASM OF AUTO FANS HERE The Dorris automobile, which is being presented to the north shore public, by the General Motors of TIlli- nois, is proving one of the sensations of the season. A Dorris is on display in the sales- rooms in Davis street, Evanston, and is usually the center of interest for a group of motor car enthusiasts. There is only a limited number of Dorris cars, according to Ffank Beck of the General Motors, and the way the north shore people are buying up these few indicates there may be danger of a greater shortage later on. The ideal of thz creators of the Dorris is indicated by their slogan, "built up to a standard, not down to a price. "The Dorris Motor Car company of St. Louis," said' Beck, "this year entered upon its fourteenth year of motor car production with a clean record for it has never had a season when its product was not a complete success. The Dorris fundamentals of valyve-in-head motor, unit power plant and multiple disc clutch have been copied by nearly every motor car manufacturer--evidence that Dor- ris engineering has been correct from the very beginning. "The greatest contributing factor to the success of the Dorris is the perfected valve-in-head motor. Built today fundamentally the same as in the first Dorris motor, yet refined through experiencz and advanced en- gineering to its present state of effi- ciency, it proves a power plant un- excelled for economy of operation and maintenance, unlimited continu- ous service and owner satisfaction. The limited output of the Dorris 'factory has made possible the un- usual care and precision in selection of materials. machine shop and as- sembling efficiency and the highest type of engineering and attention to | detail in the entire process of con- | struction. Each Dorris automobile has an amount of hand work and in-| dividual effort put into the construc- tion which proves a valuable invest- | ment after a Dorris automobile has | gone into tha owner's service." | HUPMOCBILE FAVORED IN DESERT CAMPAIGN Norman Pozterson of Bridges and Gage has received a letter from his brother, Lieutenant Harold Peterson, with the British forces in Baluchis- tan, which tells of the performances of the Hupmobile. Almost univers- ally, hz writes, British officers use the | Hupmobile. The dependability of the car is their main reason for choosing it, he says. Tt is extremely difficult | to. get new automobile parts there | and for this reason a car which will stand up under the hard usage of campaigning must bz chosen. Econ- | omy of gasoline is also an important factor, for gasoline costs $4.15 a gallon there. Lieutenant Peterson writes an in- teresting account of his experiences in motoring across the deserts. In England, where there have been no automobiles manufactured singe 1915, Hupmobiles of the years 1914 and 1915 are selling for $5,000 apiece.

The Dorris Company builds only one passenger chassis, and that with the same six- -cylinder motor used for four years, with the refinements which adherence to cor- rect fundamentals permits.
