THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG wy The following statement ss based on figures ob- tained from thoroughly reliable, disinterested sources. It yives the names and relative standing ofthefour longest-lived American cars. Thereisa ifference between automobiles of various makes. One of the greatest differences is in lasting qual. ity and in all that it means to the owner's purse The only way to judge the life of the car you or anyone else may get, is by the life of ALL the cars of each maker. > Take the total production of passenger cars for each' make for the last eight years. Compare these figures with the number of cars of each make registered on December 31, 1925, as compiled by R. L. Polk & Com- pany, automobile statisticians. This method eliminates statements of opinion, protects buyers from miaking judgments on the basis of the per-, formance of a few cars out of hundreds of thousands-- ' cars often driven by mechanics or dealers and repaired or rebuilt at any cost. How they rank, in actual figures On December 31, 1925, there were 24.9% more Reo pas \ senger cars registered than have been built in the, entire last eight years. Or, in other words, Reo had 124.9% of its last eight years' output in registered use. The only other cars having more than 100% of their production i were: Pierce-Arrow with 10.1% more, [Cadillac with 8% more, and Franklin miles more than owners expect. with 4.9% more. Remember the respective costs of these cars and then' again compare the records: Reo . . . 124.9% Pierce-Arrow 110.1, 'Cadillac . _. 108.0 Franklin £., 104.9 Tested for nine years or seven years, Reo retains its nificant that, in this long lifeleague, Red's constantly improved construction has greatly increased its lead over other cars in its price class. / We could hardly believe the fizures when they were first | brought to us. } It did not seem possible that the Reo, always a moderate priced car, could outlive even the costliest creations of American automobile manufacturers. So we had the figures checked again. And again--and yet again. After all the checks had been made the amazing facts remained unchanged. The four longest-lived cars Reo automobiles have a longer average life--a much longer average life--than any other American automobile. - at Second to Reo in average length of life are the big Pierce-Arrows. yy Third are the Cadillacs. Fourth are the Franklins,» These four makes of automobiles, and these four only, have a proved average life of more than eight years. ' The cars whose records were compared Reo, Pierce-Arrow, mobile, Stutz, Paige, Buick, Case, Dodge, upmobile, Davis, Willys Knight, Jordan, Studebaker, Peerless, Auburn, ash, Overland, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Chevrolet, Moon. A number of American built cars are missing. Some of these are cars whose production has been so small that registration figures are not obtainable. The others have not yer heen tested by the years, or are no longer built. ~ > DX wit Cl N(o Was THR RR Sl 2 Pa! J - wip Women ially, ap- iate Spit. Second Breer. why and Spiit-Second Brak.

A deputation representing the On! ] | tario Motor League recently waited! | . | on the Minister of P miles an hour in the open country to: 35 miles. In presenting its argue ment for this increase, the league' pointed out that the great improves! ment made in the highways of One tario in recent years, as well as the improvement in mechanical construe tion, braking, and tire aquipment of motor vehicles, justified such change. Under present conditions, cars could be driven just as safely at 35 miles an hour as they could Some years ago at 25 miles an hour, The higher speed would do no dam- age to the modern smooth-surfaced highways which were built to withe stand speed. It was pointed out also that the pfesent speed limit being low in comparison with that of oth er provinces and states, proves very {annoying to motor tourists from without the province who have been 3 accustomed to travelling under high- er speed limits. It was also pointed out that it is tacitly understood that motorists are permitted a leeway on Proviscial | permitted such' a leeway on other | highways, with the result that m | orists have many unpleasant oxperis | ences. with speed traps and local ma gistrates, which could be obviated by giving effect to a province-wide reas sonable speed limit, The advisability of doing away! entirely with speed limits, end placing the emphasis on "safe drive | ing, having regard to ali cifcums | stances' has been considered by ti board of directors. It is felt, how= ever, that the time is scarcely oppor] | tune as yet for advocating change, although, much might be said in its favor, both from the m torists' standpoint, as well as that of public safety. The question of a minimum spéed limit has also boen considered by the board. With the { purpose of such a rfguiation--the | prevention of slowing up traffié = main highwdys, the board is fully in accord, but it is feared that afffi- culties in the way of enforcing such a4 regulation would be formidable.| The fact must be kept a mind that the speed of heavy motor trucks is restricted by law to 10 miles per hour, and horse-drawn vehicles are driven at an even lower rate of speed The solution of congestion of traffic on main highways in the slowing up of passenger motor cars seefis 0 lia rather in the direction of building wider highways, which would permit of four lanes of travel, or the build ing of special highways wich "vould = take the slow moving traffic, The league is hopeful that an fn= crease in the speed limit, as recom mended, will be authorirud by the Legislature at its presen' session. PERMIT FOR 90 DAYS: FOR ALL MOTORISTS Greater Privileges Are Granted: to Tourists in the United | States. Until a few months ago, mo tourists from Canada visiting io United States were required to fu nish a bond for the guarantee of re-export of their cars, if remain in the country for a period lon than thirty days, By an amendmen to the United States Customs regu ; ations, Canadian motor tourists are now pefmitted a stay of 90 days* duration without bond, Representa tions are now being made to the Cus- toms authorities at Ottawa, by the League, in cohjunction with the aus tomobile clubs throughout anda with a view to having a similar vilege extended to motor. tow from the United States who visit nada. ] It is interesting to recall that the first regulation giving special exem tions to tourists originated befon the advent of the motor car, permitted sightseers at Niag Falls to cross the boundary line wi carriages or bicycles, under a mit. This privilege was later ext: ed to motorists, but for years, ¢ fined the operation of the vehicles the immediate vicinity of the and required its export within hours.
