The Great Northern Motor Co. 333 North Wolcott Street Phone 2772 Traffic conditions are playing & large part in the determination of performing capabilities of motor cars. This is not only true in Amer- lca but In Great Britain and on the Continent of Europe as well. Proof of this was platiniy seen at the re- cent 19th International Automobilé Show held at the Grand Palais on the Champs-Elysees in Paris and also at the 18th International Exhi- bition organized by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, Ltd., in Connection with The Royal Automobile Club and held at the famous Olym in London. To these two world famous shows came motor car manufacturers and dis- tributors and dealers and motor car owners from the principal countries of the world, who found as basic facts: SPEED. The car of today must be capable of approximately 70 miles an hour not because a motor- ist wishes to-travel at that rate of speed but rather because of reserve power to overcome hills without the shifting of gears and also because of the ever-increasing necessity for quick acceleration in congested traffic. Motorists drive faster on the Continent of Europe than In Amer- ica, There a motorist thinks noth- ing of travelling all day long at 55 miles an hour. And curiously enough where that same fast driving takes place accidents have been surpris- WALTER P.

QUICK ACCELERATION, Mo- torists today are demanding that their cars the capacity to accel- erate quickly. When they have the rapidly if possible to do so safely. The car which requires slow shift- ing of gears in starting is less popular every day. ' STOPPING. The four-wheel brake has come to stay. The car of today must be able to stop gee. RIDING QUALITIES, aay the day when the automobile, which is simply a means of transportation can win the motorists’ approval. The automobile of today must give eom- fortable riding. LOW CONSUMPTION OF FUEL. The motorist of America buys gasoline; of England, petrol; of France, essence. It is all the same thing and the less the motorist has to buy the better he likes it. He especially 1s pleased with the car that can give him 20 miles on an American gallon. English cars do better because the English unit of measure is larger than the Ameri- can one and also because higher point gasoline is used in England. ADAPTABILITY.
