"As over soventy-fivc per cent of out out-
put Is sold to rarnwrs. we have been keen-
ly Interested in the attltuae or farmer motor
car huyera to ward eight cylinder motors"
says Claude S. Brlggs president or tbe
Brlggs-uetrolter company of Detroit which
recently announced a five passenger "8" at
nn.
"Farmers are conservative when It cornea
lo buying an automobile and being well
posted on mechanical manera their ap-
proval cr disapproval la a very vital factor
in our iiusme
Bellovii.g that perhaps me rarrner would
be slow to accept the 'eight' we basna our
plans on a limited demand from farmer
buyers and a big demand rrom city pur-
chasers. "We hit the nail on tne need so far as
tho cities were concerned but we made a
bad guess on tho farmer who has taken to
the 'eight' with an entirely unlooted-for
enthusiasm as shown by the results; or tbe
shows at New York and Chicago.
"Most of the territory assigned by us at
these showi was to dealers whoso buslnesa
Is mostly with tarmera and who in the
aggregate would have placed orders with
us ror more than twice tho number or
'eights' wo ran build this season had we
allowed tbem to do so.
"Farmers havo been quick to realign Ihe
advantages or the 'eight' especially lor
sections where heavy roads and bnif hills
prevail. The absence or vinrntlon Increases
very materially tho life of the working
parts of the 'car and whero an automnbtl
Is subjected to hard servlch on account of
bad roads or hills this factor Is moat Important."
(BY CHARLES E. HEIS8.
There wat a time when the coming or
winter was a dread to motorists for It
meant the storing of hit automobile until
more balmy days. A few years ago It was
an unihought or thing to drive a motor car
all Inter. As motors could not be de-
pended upon to battle the elements or
show and Ice. winter driving was unbear-
able and caused great hardship to motor
ists. To drive In comfort the entire year
was necessary lo own two rar. and
thero are not many who can afford this
extra expense ronequently driving- in win
ter was out of Ihe question.
Almost every motorist realties that the
automobile Is more of a necessity during
the winter and stormy weather than In tbe
summer montbs. The duties that the mo-
torist has to perform during tho months of
the year wben the streets are covered with
snow Bjiu ice arc just as important as
the dally routine at tbat time or the year
when touring Is more of a pleasure.
For the doctors and professional men
who are dally out or doors for the social
duties or the women and ineir siioppmg
tours tho motor car in winter la an indls-
pensablo adjunct for It Is impossible lo
depend upon oilier means of locomotion.
Since tbe Invention of self-starters antl-
freexe solutions etc. for motor cars It
has been found that motor cars are de-
pendable. Tbe 1015 show has witnessed one of the
most welcome developments in motor car
designing tbat has taken place In recent
years tbls Is tbe detachable winter . lop.
it enables the owner or tho muring auto-
mobile or ro adatar to derive alt tho advan-
tages and comforts or a luxurious enclosed
automobile at a cost which Is well within
tbe means or tho average man's purse.
With tbe attachment of tho removable
top the tutoraoblltst can now enjoy the
luxuries or tho enclosed automobile at a
very reasonable cost. Tho tops are sond
proor noiseless shd have a very pleasing
Interior appnarance.
Another advantage or tho removable to)
Is tbe fact tbat it enables the owner to
operate an enclosed automohlln at a great
deal smaller coat than a big heavy limou-
sine or coupe. There is a saving of . tires;
there Is a saving in the gasolene arid oil
consumption; a saving on Insurance (you
will not have to pay the. high rate cost or
an npetialvt body). Besides this' there Is
a saving; on storage hi the summer.

Overdrafts Illegal
A recent decision of the Courts declares that over-
drafts are illegal and that a bank official paying a
check against an account with a balance insufficient to
cover is guilty of a misapplication of funds so don't
blame your banker if he refuses a check which if paid
would overdraw your account.
