OORT MOTOR PERFECT Engineers Spent Five Years Building It and Two More Perfecting It Thereafter ‘ “It took Dort engineers five years to Bulla the Dort Six motor and two years more to perfect it after it was built, . ‘These engineers spent practically ene year traveling around the coun- try testing other motors in factories and on the road, before an actual at- tempt was made to design a motor. Every six cylinder motor on the mar- ket was carefully studied and its ‘weakness and good points thoroughly noted. To any one but Dort engineers such extreme care would seem un- necessary, but Dort has always in- sisted that every product carrying the name “DORT” must fulfill the standard policy of the company—To deliver full value”—and then it must continue to live up rigidly to the high standards of performance set for it. Chief of all the important improve- ments that the motorist finds in the Dort Six, and one which Dort en- gineers labored over long and studi- ously, is the lubrication system. This system as finally worked out can be truly described as full force feed. An added advantage of very great impor- tance is a device which regulates the flow of ofl to meet the need for lubri- cation as the need varies in accord- ance with the engine load. This de- vice of lubrication and regulation in- sures an ample supply of oil to the and, conse Automobiles quently, the need of lubrication, is! greatest. | In a word, this kind of olling which | operates under pressure ranging from Fully Equipped Cars Domin- zero to 45 pounds, is insurance that every bearing in the motor will ride ate Jewett Market, Says Ed Weaver at all times on a film of oll, and the fact that the cylinders are ground instead of reamed also adds to the unlikelihood of scoring when the car is new. The Dort Stix oiling system pro- motes smooth, quiet operation of the) motor at all times; it prevents scor- ing of bearing surface; keeps down chatter in the overhead valve} mechanism; prevents over-heating by decreasing friction in every load carrying part; promotes a more even temperature throughout the various parts; and insures long life to every vital part of the motor. In order to eliminate vibration, all reciprocating parts of the Dort Six motor have been made lighter in weight. For instance, there are hol- low. tappets; hollow push rods and! hollow wrist pins. The crank shaft! has been balanced both statically and{ dynamically so that every bit of vibration, due to heavy spots, has been eliminated. Silcrome steel, a metal which does not yield readily to intense heat, has been chosen by Dort engineers instead of ordinary metal for the exhaust valves, ‘A close student of engineering sees in the Dort Six a new and far reach- ing advance in motor efficiency. Economy of operation has been at- tained without sacrificing speed or smoothness. Twenty-four miles on a gallon of gasoline at a speed of thirty miles an hour is indeed thrifty opera- tion. There is, too, an uncommon liveliness about this motor with its Pick-up from five to 25 miles in less than nine seconds. The slightest pressure on the accelerator is imme- diately followed by a hearty response without ‘jerking, knocking or labor- ing. Speed changes in high gear are made with that peculiar sensation of latent power which a driver regards as one of the most desirable attributes of a motor car.

Bl Within a period of a few months fully equipped automobiles . have dominated the sales of Jewetts re flecting the demand of the public for full equipment on motor cars says Ed Weaver of the Doud-Weaver Motor company. The standard Jewett was first built on a quantity basis in March, 1922, by the Paige-Detroit Motor Car com- pany, states Mr. Weaver. He told of the bringing out of the Jewett Special eleven months later, in February of this year and cited its tremendous popularity as an illustration of the trend toward fully equipped motor cars. “According to reports I have re- ceived “from the factory,” eaid Mr. ‘Weaver, “the Special production has grown from less than 10 per cent of the Jewett production in February to 65 per cent Specials this month (July).” The Jewett Special is painted a double-deep blue, upholstered to match end is trimmed in nickel. It is delivered to its new owner equipped with one extra cord tire, complete with tube and tire cover and mounted on side; trunk, trunk rack, and body rails; combination stop and rear light; double bar spring bumpers, both front and rear; motometer, locked on; drum sidelights on cowl; all nickel headlights; automatic windshield wiper, rear view mirror, sun visor; and floor heater in enclosed models. a ee ed er ‘The Italian premier, Benito Musso- at one bean of his early life, Hupson CoAcH *1450 Freight and Tax Extra On-the-Finest Super-Six Chassis Ever Built ESSEX COACH 91145 i Ree Callits Chassis Greatest of its Size a) My am These prices‘are the lowest at which — *\. these:cars have ever-been sold...

The importance of this control was emphasized in a statement made by Charles D. Hastings, president and general manager of the corporation, yesterday. It reads: “Today, in our own plants, our own motor, transmission, axles and all other essential parts are built to our own specifications, for the exclusive use of this corporation. “No compromise of good designing or fine manufacture is ever forced upon our engineers. They are en- tirely free from the limitations they might meet if they were dependent for some vital parts on outside manu- facturing sources, “The Hupmobile has the perform- ance, economy, endurance and long life that it has because there is per- fect working harmony among its units. There is this harmony because the proper relation of every part to all others has been worked out by us and is carried out under our own manufacturing supervision. : “Our engine, for instance, is de- signed and manufactured to work with greatest efficiency and economy with our own transmission and axles. Each of these units likewise are de. signed and built under our own su- pervision to supplement and even in- crease the economy and efficiency of the engine. “It the Hupmobile is an unusually good car, it is because this manufac- turing policy holds that the best craftsmanship must be practiced at all times. Though the Hupmobile sells in the medium priced field, the inspections {t Is compelled to undergo before its final approval are among the most severe in the entire industry. Hupp sales for 1923 wil be from two to three times those of 1920, when the program was decided upon, it fs said. The corporation's large plants in Detroit and Jackson, Mich. and Racine, Wis., now give it a total man- ufacturing space of 2,850,000 square feet. Hupp is one of the ten largest concerns in the industry, both in number of cars built and sold in sales fvolume in dollars. Theaters AUTO ENABLED PRESIDENT TO | TOUR ALASKA Vant Sant Calls Attention to Use of Motor When Hard- ing Traveled In North “At each stopping point of the trip to Alaska, President and Mrs. Hard- ing were met by motor cars. They were whisked here and there as fast as safety permitted,” says R. N, Van Sant, local dealer in Durant and Star cars, esterday's limits of transporta- tion would have permitted the presi dential party to have made few calls during an afternoon's visit to a city, but today the motor car enables the president in an afternoon to visit a soldiers’ hospital, aqgiress the boy scouts on the future duties of young America, and post the citizens on ad- ministration doings. He still has time for @ social call or two and a round of golf “From Kansas City to the wheat flelds many miles away was but @ Short trip by motor car, and the presi- dent delighted the Kansans by demon- strating’ his practical knowledge of farming and driving a tractor, “Save for the health giving trips in the automobile, such a journey as Président and Mrs, Harding haye un- dertaken would indeed be arduous, but relieved often by invigorating fresh air trips by motor, the long rail Journeys are somewhat less tiresome. “President Harding 1s fortunate among a long line of presidents, for he is among only six chief executives of the .United States who have lived during years when automobiles have been available. “Grover Cleveland, William Mc- Kinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson and War- ren G. Harding:have enjoyed the mo- torvoar, but prePious to their incum- beney, no amount of presidential in- fluence, power or money could have provided for presidents this modern means of trangporiation which the average person of 1923 takes for granted. ven President Cleveland had to ein a motor vehicle of ludicrous design, a horseless carriage, much less efficient and comfortable than the cheapest of modern cars. “Other men prominent poltically have found rest and recreation in the use of motor cars, Honorable Jo- seph G.
