i i i + TT _--ounn da = WINNETK AW EEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1919 AUTOMOBILE NEWS New Trier Sport Notes All lines of the automobile business on the north shore are looking for- ward to a season of unprecedented prosperity in 1919. Already the first indications of un- usual activity are at hand. Automo- bile dealers, garages, repair men, tire men and retread men are already en- joying such an amount of business as to cause many of them to sit up and take notice. The last months of 3 | the war and the confusion and un- certainty which followed immediate- | ly after the signing of the armistice, were a period of depression in the automobile business, but now the in- | dustry has rebounded to a position | ahead of that it formerly held. Automobile dealers are especially optimistic. Can't Fill Demand "There will be a greater demand | . for new automobiles than the fac- tories can possibly, supply." is the unanimous opinion of the dealers. The only fly in their ointment is the prospect that they will not be able to get a full supply of new cars, at least not until late in the spring. One firm has started out with the purpose of selling one car a day through the season, and others are] equally ambitious. No Sign of Pessimism The garages are now back to nearly normal conditions, although many of them are still hampered by a short- age of labor. A survey of all the shore failed to bring of a cloud of pessimism. Those whose business was below the average last year believe that this year will more than make good for it. Speaking of prosperity, it worthy of note that two north shore automobile dealers are among the first residents of the new North Shore | hotel in Evanston. Early season sales of new cars have already beaten all records. There has been the customary hold- ing off on the part of the public un-| til after the show, but nevertheless the sales have been brisk, and used | cars as well as new cars are greatly in demand. FRANKLIN AND BUICK COMBINE THE IDEAL FEATURES, SAYS DEALER By C. E. Bridges One would hardly be justified in purchasing a car solely on the strength of one, or even several, fea- tures. It 1s only when the correct relation between power and Toad, | comfort and safety, performance and | durability, is preserved that we can! find true motor car efficiency. And this result can only be obtained af- ter years of scientific study backed by broad experiences of the most practical nature. The thorough consistency of the Franklin and Buick cars are reflect- ed in their performance, primarily, and is brought home with ever-in- creasing emphasis the longer the cars are run. It is this balance and pro- portion, resulting from nearly twenty years spent in co-ordinating the parts of these cars, that make them garages on the forth one hint 1 is | Franklin and Buick is about ten per cent. You wouldn't buy a piece of property that would depreciate from | 40 to 50 per cent in a year. Why not use the same good judgment in pur-| chasing an automobile.? The Franklin car is the most satis- factory car for the owner. It is the easiest riding, easiest handled, the tires last two or three times as long, goes farther on a gallon of gasoline, and consumes less oil than any other car. To those who feel they cannot af- ford the initial outlay for a Franklin | we unreservedly advise the purchase | of a Buick. for it's without question the best car on the market for the money. Scarcely a day goes by that we are not asked to take the agency for some other car, many of them offer- ing the dealer twice the margin of! profit that there is on the Franklin | and Buick. We feel that the good will of the | people of the north shore is worth | too much to us to jeopardize our name by selling such cars. NO RADICAL CHANGES IN AUTOMOBILES FOR THE SEASON OF 1919 so serviceable and economical in| everyday service. The annual flepreciation on the | , | | This vear will not see many radical changes in automobile de gn. Most of the standard makes are about the same in outward appearance as they were last year. One of the main reasons for this is that the automobile manufacturers were tied up with war work last year and were not in a position to make preparations for this year. It was believed that the war would last at least until late in 1919, and that by the first of this year automobile manufacturing would be absolutely prohibited. I The sudden ending of the war. with | the quick return of the country to! peacetime conditions, placed the! automobile manufacturers in a posi- tion where they did not have an op- portunity to install the machinery which would be necessary for radical-| All of the cars h mprovements, ly snew models. refinements and but Ve | there is no great change in design or finish. There is also another reason be- sides the sudden ending of the war. And that is that the established makes of cars are now pretty welll standardized and perfected.

'ESSEX ONLY NEW CAR ON DISPLAY AT THE SHOW THIS YEAR "The Essex, which is the only new car to be displayed at the automobile show this year, is remarkable for many reasons, one of the most notable of them being its simplicity," | said Louis J. Sherland this week. "Ease of operation, simplicity of maintenance and comfort have been kept constantly in view by the de- signers, and the car itself is built in the factory at Detroit. "In the past automobile develop- ment has been toward a cheap, light car with economy and low first cost as its chief advantage, or car possessing luxury, comfort endurance at the expense of first cost and heavy maintenance pense. The Essex combines the vantages of both these types. "The ed and high ex- ad- Essex is so sturdily construct- th that long life is agsured while comfort is obtained, even on 'the roughest roads. by the long springs and the careful distribution of 'the weight. The seats are real seats and their backs reach to the shoulders. All useless weight has been eliminat- ed which contributes to the excep- tional performance of the car and | assures long tire life. "One of the most marvelous things about the car is the motor which al- though only twenty-nine inches long develops more than fifty A nallie "In its construction nothing has been sacrificed mere appearance, its beauty coming from inherent qualities of fitness of line and con- tour and from work correctly done." Sherland placed his ssex on exhi- bition in Evanston this week and al- ready dozens of people have inspect- ed it-and declared they were amazed and pleased with it. to Be Specific For business purposes, for social purposes, for any purposes in life, a rule that should admit of no excep- tions is: "Be specific in everything you say. Don't take it for granted that vague, general statements will properly convey your meaning." General statements, please remember, leave wide room for inference. and there is always the liability that a wrong inference will be drawn.
