LEXINGTON SAFELY TOWS BROKEN PLANE Edward J. Wohlfarth, president of the Lexington Motor Sales Company at Englewood, N.J., recently put his Lexington Lark to the most unique test in automobile history. Wohlfarth, who is an enthusiastic Elk, with a couple of companions flew in an aeroplane from his home in Englewood to Atlantic City to attend the Elks' convention recently held there. While making some exhibition flights over Atlantic City, motor trouble was encountered and Wohlfarth was compelled to land his machine, a land plane, in the water. The plane was so badly damaged that further flights was impossible. Wohlfarth wired his office at Englewood for his Lexington Lark a car which had already, in one year's running, been put over 27,500 miles of road. When the Lexington arrived, the disabled aeroplane was hooked on behind, and the long run of 174 miles from Atlantic City to Englewood started. Despite the fact that Mr. Wohlfarth was compelled to drive carefully and slowly, the Lark made the entire return trip on 10 gallons of gasoline, or an average of better than 17 miles on a gallon, and this despite the fact that the Lark had already seen long and hard usage. Wohlfarth, who is an experienced automobile man, believes this is a record that no automobile has duplicated. J. E.

An example is afforded in a large and complete chart of the Velie-built Motor which has just been placed in the hands of distributors and dealers for public exhibition, says McGraw Bros., Fullerton, distributors. By an arrangement of red arrows over a cut-away view revealing the interior of the motor, the main details of construction are readily pointed out. How the entire power plant is made proof against dirt, grit and dust, yet rendered instantly accessible—the advance in cooling system—the silencing devices—the four bearing crankshaft—the improvement in overhead valves—the cup and ball push-rods cushioned in oil—the interesting factors of its freedom from vibration—are all shown.

In the first place, you are aware that Type 61 Cadillac is declared by European and American engineers to surpass all previous Cadillac records for dependability. The public, itself, in conclusive confirmation of this verdict, registers its approval of the new Cadillac by buying more Type 61 Cadillac cars than all other cars combined selling at the Cadillac price or higher. We believe that almost every individual, after considering these facts, will understand the justice of the majority decision: that Type 61 Cadillac is both the Standard of the World and the world's greatest motor car value.

Los Angeles St. C AD I L L A Standard of the World DAREDEVIL GIRL BUYS FAMOUS ESSEX Three years after Marjorie Dougan became famous as the central figure in probably the most gruelling automobile test ever made, the production of "The Trail of the Arrow" she amazed Harold L. Arnold, Hudson-Essex distributor at Los Angeles by walking into his private office the other day and asking him how much he wanted for the old "S-X Arrow" which she had driven across the Mojave desert wastes in Southeastern California into the depths of the Devil's Punch Bowl. H. L. Grove of Towsend & Medbury, Hudson and Essex distributors, tells about it. "That old Arrow!" gasped Arnold. "Why Marjorie that car has traveled almost 80,000 miles and been hammered and racked worse than any other automobile on the American continent." "I know it." calmly replied the young woman. "Why shouldn't I. Wasn't it I that gave it the hardest part of the hammering? But I've given it the once-over and got the boys in your service department to let me take it out for a short test run, and I want to tell you right here. Mister, that it's a bear of a car yet. I think you'll agree with me that nobody else is half as much entitled to that old Arrow as myself."
