\ i hc . automobile has justified'itself because it is :t time saver , \ says John \V, Lcc, Jr., merchandising manage r for the Franklin Automobile com- pany. \Forge tting for the . moment the pleasure that is brought into the liven of millions , the fact that it has made life more worth living, the real secret of the ever ' increasing popu- larity of the automobile lies , in the fact that, it has . -put . more., hours in every man ' s day, and thereby increas- ed his earning capacity. \There is no class of motorists who have found this more true than the medical profession. And it might be added thai the benefits which it con- fers upon them are immediately pass- ed on to humanity, for while it tin- creases the doctor ' s earnings , it also increases his capacity to relieve hu- man suffering, \It has always' been a point of pride of the Franklin Automobile Company that throughout its entire history the Franklin automobile has been unusually popular with the med- ica l profession , It is doubtful if any sells so high a proportion of total out- put to this f raternity. \We feel not a little complimented by the fact that year after year the number of our safes to doctors coji- tiiiues to grow. Our owners; list shows some who have owned Frank- Vin^ cars continuously for . the last twenty years. \Transportation is a vital element in the doctor ' s business. He must answer calls under all circumstances , lit) ' matter what the weather \ or road conditions.. More than a. monetary consideration impels him. His pres- ence may mean a matter of life or death. \It Koes \ without ^ say ing that ho must have a car of the utriiu5t~ve! . 'a- _ . bility ; one that will always go and keep going—that can be easily started in the coldest weather , and one which may be loft standing in the street when the thermometer is below zero , without thought of freezing. \A- recent analysis of our doctor business showed the Franklin sedan the most popular choice , 5U' ,( _ ' ' of ¦ doc- tor purchases being of that type; 20Vi - chosc the three-passenger coupe , with the remainder divided among a num- ber of different types. Ot _ r four- passcngcr victoria , which , has only been in production for a few months , is showing a high degree of popular- ity. \A review of hundreds of letters received from doctors in rega rd to their Franklins reveals the fact that they choose it for the riding comfort and ease of handling which enables them to get about with a minimum :)f effort and fatigue. ' . Freedom ¦ ¦ from freezing and economy were p. ' aced next. \ A utomobile Brings Greatest Benef it to Doctors , Says Lee Tire and Tube Manuf acture Now a Remarkable Industry The last official Government es- timate of \ automobile population \ in this country was about 20 , 000 , 000— one car t,o every six persons. In 1925 there were 126 establishments en- gaged in the manufacture of rubber tires and inner tubes , as well as other products , which reported to the De- p artment of Commerce at Washing- Ion in its biennial census of manu- factures covering that industry. Their otal output \ of all products was val- jed at $025 ,032 , 833 , which is an in- ;rease of over 43.6 per cent, over the 1023 production , which amounted to 4(il4 , 19S.C97. , Ohio remains the center . of the 'Inurishing tire and tube industry, -viiose cap ital extends into the bii- 'ions. Akron , with , eleven tire fac- orics , turns out about half of the out! lire production of the country, l!i!2i> figures reveal. The value of >i odii<:ts that came out of the Akron ilii.Hr, last year was §480 , 330 , 347. IVago earners , exclusive of salaried ¦ i»p!oyee> , numbered 43 , 301 , and wages paid to them aggregated !>iJ0 , 160 , 7l/;J. , There were listed thirty-five other ilr.nts in Ohio , eleven in New Jersey, •leven in Pennsylvania , seven in Cul- fnrnia , seven in Indiana , five in Con- w-cticut, five in New York , five in Wisconsin , four in Iowa ,, three in Illi- tois, ' ¦ three in Maryland , three in Michigan , 'three in North Carolina and -ithers in Alabama , Colorado , Georgia, Massachusetts , Minnesota, Missouri , Nebraska , Oregon , Texas , Washington mil West Virginia. The . whole industry employed an iverage of 81 , 070 wage earners last year , paying wage* aggregating 31211 , - 014 , 081. The substantial growth it: experienced is indicated b y the figure - , for I!i23, when an average »f ';3 . i)riS workers were emp loyed and wagfi aggregating $108 , 623. ' 102 were paid. , Production in \ l' , (2ri represented $822 , 138 , 213 worth of tires and tubes by manufacturers engaged primarily in the output' of this commodity, while establishments engaged primaril y in the manufacture of other rubbe r goods turned out tires and tubes valued at, •51 , 653 , 984. Miscellaneous rubber products-turned out by all these plants totaled .$102 , 894 , 620. The total production nf tires and tubes by all establishments that, re- ported their manufactures for 1!)25 was divided into kinds and values as follows: Automobile and truck cas- ings , 58 , 784 , 073 , valued at $056,491 , - 733: automobile and truck inner tubes , 77 , 387, 836 , valued at $118, 234 , 058;- motorcyele and bicycle casings, 2 , 080 , - 773 , valued at $3 , 5.4 , 933; motorcycle and bicycle inner tubes , 430 , 888 , val- ued at $396, 394 ; solid rubber ti res for trucks , 1 , 035, 226; valued at 543 , 870 , - 387; other solid rubber tires , valued at $1 , 990 , 499. Production of auto- mobile and truck .tires ' Shows \' sub- stantial increase from previous years , but motorcycle and bicycle casings , and inner ' tubes show pronounced de- clines. MOTOR CAMPS IN If. S. Of the 9 , 585 motor camps in the United States , California leads all other States with over 1 200 of every description , and Delaware with 10 is lost. Colorado , - the nearest State to California , has 300 , while Illinois , fowa , Minnesota and Wisconsin tie for third place , with , 250 each , ' .Flor- ida , Ohio , Pennsylvania, New York , Indiana and Michiga n , with >200 each , tie for fourth place. Los Angeles leau5%pll the cities with 44 camps , and the little age-old town of Albu- querque , N. M., has 10. 'Photo arc nearly 500 listed camps in Canada. - All previous . monthly production records were shattered by the Oak- land Motor _ Car company during August whcii 17.977 Greater Oakland sixes and Pontiac sixes were pro 1 luccd. As factory output has not as yet caught up with sales on either •ar , these figuies are synonymous to sales. ' Nor onl y were all previous month- ly production records broken on tiJ- ' .al number of cars produced , but all previous monthly production figures m both the Greater 'Oakland'six and Pontiac six; were exceeded. The total oroduction figures were close to 3 , 000 greater than Jul y output , the previous record month. During August the 50 , OO0lh' v Pon- tiac six was produced and shipped out. This number of Pontiacs has been produced in less than eight noiifhs , starting in January with an initial production of but 60 ears a day. Also during August the large. 't single day ' s output in the history of the company was ' recorded when 906 cars were produced. And the first -iveek in September saw this years total - predHistion pass the 10Q, 000 mark. ~\ ~ - - — — - _ . September production calls for ap- proximately , the same number of cars as 1 were ' produced in August— the peak capacity of the factories un- til the completion of the $7 , 600 , 000 addition upon which 1,000 workmen are now engaged. Plans call for pro- duction to start in this new factory January 1st. Oakland Breaks Record For Single Month Output Count y Fair S pecial Edition 'j - , . n - — ¦ ¦ ., ¦¦ , ——. ^rr.

' RUNS 25 , 000 MILES ; SERVICE UNDER S ID Hupmobile Eight Owner Finds Car Stands Up Under Hard Tests in AH Weathers. A distance of 25 , 100 miles in a Hupmobile Eight roadster with less than $15 in service expense , is the mark of I. R. Goodwin , district man- age r at Columbus , Ohio , for the Cedar Rapids <Iowa) Engineering Co. He bough t the ' car slightly more than a year ago. ' \I have driven; this car over all kinds of roads and under all weather •onditions at a high average-rate of ipeed , \ says Mr. Goodwin , \ generally ' raveling fro m 55,to 60 miles an hour , and several times have had the speed- ometer up to \ 75. I have covered 25 , - 160 miles without any expense to me whatsoever \ save valve grinding and ;aibon removal. _ Tho crankcase has never been off the motor and the en- gine is as quiet and' runs as smoothly _ .s _ a _ new one. Coo'ing, system is per- fect. —in \ iact=I-hav» _ not _ had a fan belt on the car since a year ago mid-have driven it this way through the hot- test weather. . Brakes have always given me 100 per cent, service. I have just put two new tires oh the rear—my ( first two—and from the ap- pearance of the others I should re- ceive at least another 10 , 000 miles from them. \ A similar experience is recited by H. L. Scntt , of Dayton , Ohio , repre- sentative for Weidenhoff Products , of Chicago , makers of testing equipment for automotive clecuic service sta- tions and electrical indicating instru- ments. y\r. Scott covers five state, ; for his company. \I have owned a Iltipmobilc Eight coupe four months and have driven it nearly o 10 , 000 milei without the ¦ slightes t trouble , \ hn says , \i have traversed the country from the Gulf if Mexico to the Great Lakes in it ind . might, say that these 10 ,000 miles were driven at an average speed of 15 miles \ an hour. I have made ' sev- sra l record runs to company conven- tions' and at other times wheii my bus- iness demanded. Recently I drove from Chicago to St. Louis in six hours and fifteen minutes—10:15 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. —on ' y 15 minutes ' behind the fastest train time. \ •r . [ Uusincs ' s in International \Harvester j motor ti uckr, and motor L -coache= dur- j ing the past year , has , i )e en ihe best 1 in the history of the concern. One | .reason for the International success I has been a very extensive , we 'l-organ- j ize 'd . service establishment arid a com-! pletely balanced' line, by means of which it it, possible for the prospec- tive purchaser to riiake a selection to suit his needs from a wide variety of styles and models , varying from % -ton; 1-ton and l;_ -ton speed trucks lo heavy-duty types of from l! _ -ton tn . S-toii ratings. And back of all this is experience that dates back almost ;i century in general manufacturing and in motor truck building that be- gan in 1007. In . Suffolk county, il5' M. Reeve & Sons , of East Moriches , and Strong Brothers; l of East Hampton , both 61(1 - ¦ . •stablished and well-known firms on the Island , are in a position to dem- onstrate and service the Harvester line of automotive equipment., In- ternational Motor Trucks will be on iisplay al the Riverhead Fair. Come In and get acquainted. The International Harvester Com- pany, thanks to its wiric 7 flung branch ' iou.se organization and its . several arge factories devoted exclusively to ' manufacture , of motor trucks and motor coaches , is in excellent position in give unusual after-sales service. Its . '120 company-owned branches lo- ;aterl in strategic business centers , its •xtensive dealer organization and its large automotive plants located at -Akron* Ohio; Springfield; Ohio; Fort Wayne , Indiana , and Chicago , make .his easily possible. That International units arc in 0 fa- vor . tint-on!y_ because there is a.vari- ety of types \ fo-xhuGSC.from , .. but also because of special service , liTTiUestcd by the fact that large newspapers in Chicago and New York have standar- dized on ¦ Internationals and . also by the \ fact that business with so-calleil national users , concerns that operate fleets of trucks in different parts of the country, has been much larger the past year than in other:,years. The Brinks Express company is one if these latter-named concerns par- ticularly woith y of mention. This company, which operates in sixtppr. cities and specializes in making up payrolls and transporting ' and safe- guarding currency, deposits , bonds , stocks and ' other valuables, has pur- chased 17G iirmor-prolucleil Inter- national motor trucks—7S . since the firs t of the year. The armor.fo r these trucks consists of Uv> thicknesses of bullet-proof steel , and each unit con- tains a burgla ,v-and-bqnib-proof safe securely bolted to the frame. . Bullet\ proof glass in the.windshield and ' win- dows also is used to protect drivers and guards. Tht' tracks play, an im- portant role in foiling payroll thugs. Coa! dealers also , are resorting more and more to the use < . >f Inter- nationals because of their dependa- bility ami the excellent service ren- dered therefor. This has been an ex- acting year for these dealers on ac- count, of the hard coal strike and the necessarily increased demand for coke 'ind soft coal. ° The new low-hung International one-ton type SL Speed truck has been doing yeoman service for such con- 1 coins as bottlers , bakers, laundries, dairies and others , whitih require a fast , moderate-capacity, truck with long wheclbase and built close to the ground to facilitate loading , and un- loading. Agaii; , - the new Internationa ' motor ':oach , Ijnn has received , much favor- nblc comment \ tht; past year and the Harvester company is planning to put particular emphasis on the sales of the coaches the . coming year. Motor- •oach travel is growing apace and In- ternational units arc'designed not only for use by bus companies in city op- eration , but also for highway travel. Railroads are evincing keen interest in coaches as a supplement to theit regular traveling equipment ttnd sev- eral large railroad companies already are making good use of International units. The new IiUcrmiliona! motor 'joach is equipped with low-hung frame , a powerful six-cvlinder en- gine that operates with , the smooth- ness and flexibility of a passenger , car power plant , and a \ steer-easy \ U< ~ eririg - arrpnecment that makes a big hit with drive \ r.s7\ \ i-!iC-Mn _ fortab _ le ;cats and roomy, well-finished inter- ior , together with special rhassU spring system , make ' travel in this modern-day conveyance a\ pleasure and as comfortable as in a hifvh-gradc automobile. The McCormick-Deering industrial tractor has -back of it nearly twenty vi-ars of tracto r building experience 'ind close to a century of manufactur- ; ng activity. Its purpose is to meet he urgen t need for a hi gh quality tracK-r for industrial , municipal and . ¦ onimercial service. \It embodies the most modern and practical ideas of -tei'-tor . design and construction. \ Mc- \ onnicE\ - \Dt.£ripg industrial tractor -iwners along with \ IntorYiatic-nal Mot- ir truck and motor coach owners are Assured permanent and available af- ter-sales service by the world' s largest rompany-owned motor truck service organization. | International Harvester = \! i Motor Trucks and Coaches Supply Wide Demand Here!
