II SIX-GYUWDER CARS PBOKPOPM Frank Botterill Discusses Ef-j Ef-j ficiency of "Sixes" From j J Expert Standpoint. ( "Motorists quickly are learning the nt'i- vuntnKa of the six-cylinder car. Fnlla-Ki Fnlla-Ki clcs Hint have boon -prevalent are disan-i disan-i penringr." Is tlie statement made yester-f yester-f I day by .Frank Botterill of Uie Tom Bot- I tcrlll Automobile company. "The i Pierce Arrow company has been pro- 1 ducins alx-cylinder cars for tho past ; eight years. n.nd the demand for four-I four-I ; cylinder cars of hlfrh-grado type passed i llvo yeara ago. The Hudson engineer read the handwriting on tho wall two I years ago, feeling that the medlum-! medlum-! priced four-cylinder car would pass out of existence Just as surely as the hlgh-I hlgh-I grade four-cylinder car did. There Is not a. four-cylinder car being mado now by th Hudson company." Sir. 'Botterill further states that buy-! buy-! , era are no longer Impressed by tho as-l as-l sertlons of some salesmen that a six i Is more expensive to maintain than a i four. Common sense and experience i havo proved this claim absolutely 1 groundless. It is becoming generally known that tho consumption of a certain quality of gasoline will produce a. more or less definite amount of power, and ! that it makes practically no difference whether this Is burned in four cylinders or in six. In fact. it often occurs that of two motors, a four and a six, developing devel-oping the same amount of power, the : six will burn loss gasoline than the four. ' This bocauso Its power is more effectlve-1 effectlve-1 ly and economically applied. Experience shows that instead of being be-ing moro susceptible to wear and derangement de-rangement than a four, the six is actually actual-ly less liable to get out of order or to need vnlve adjustments and other care. I The prospective motor-car buyer should I carefully consider these questions. For Just as soon ns ho succeeds in getting ! rid of the old idea that a six burns moro gasoline and needs more care than a j ' four, he is in a position to enjoy with serenity and satisfaction the very many delights and tho enhanced enjoyment thai comes with tho ownership of a gt)od six. During the past week Pierce Arrow cars havo boon sold to Judge- H. H. Ro-lapp, Ro-lapp, R. B. Bristol, Dr. S. H. Pinker-ton, Pinker-ton, Mru. B. F. Holmes and P. Q. Quealv, and Hudson cars to Clarence Purduo. G. B. Lockhart, and a beautiful beauti-ful Ohio olectrlo to Mrs. TO. F. Holmes. "Business never was botter, and It la slmplv a question of getting cars," said Mr. Botterill.
