The Irresistible offers of the Ford Motor Car company ftas taken effect in Scranton. Through its agency Conrad Bros. of 245 247 Wyoming avenue, the Ford company is piling up orders in this city that for number has never been equalled. The 1912 models which, because of the remarkable facilities of the plant, are going at wonderful prices, are the last word in the construction "of automobiles and that Scranton people should be given a chance to buy is a lucky thing for the Scranton people. The Ford company anticipates an output of 75,000 automobiles during the season of 1911 1912, and whatever the Ford officials say goes.

The Ford plant is the largest individual plant in the world and is in a position to do everything that it prom.ses, even though these promises seem too elaborate to be true. The Ford touring bodies, runabouts with rumble seats, delivery cars, coupes, all with complete equipments, are the marvels of automobile building. They are the acme 'of beauty, durability and ease in running. It requires but one demonstration of a Ford to prove that it is the sensible and economical car to buy. Conrad Bros.

Co. know that this is a fact because they have had such ample demonstration of the car's popularity. It will soon be so that "if it isn't a Ford it isn't an automobile." Interesting statistics are complied every few weeks by the Ford people, and these show remarkable growth in the business, not only in this country but all over the world. The Ford is reaching out into the highways and byways. It is certainly a wonderful seller and promises to keep up its great progress.

"SILENT SIX" MEANT AN EXPENSE OF $300,000 Matheson Company First to Introduce Quiet Running Engines How It Was Done. C. W. Matheson, general sales manager of the Matheson Automobile company, when questioned as to the mechanical meaning of silence in the operation of a gasoline engine, 'gave this interesting answer: "When motor cars were first introduced, very little effort was made to secure quiet running qualities. The main problem was to get a car to run at all reasonably well, and it took several years to make any marked headway.

Later, in the development of the gasoline motor, efforts were made to increase the efficiency of the motor, still without reference to quietness. Latterly, however, the demand increased for quiet running cars, and it was this demand which led the Matheson company to expend over $300,000 in the development of the "Silent Six" Matheson, which is today, without doubt, the most quiet running car of all types on the marked. "In order to obtain and maintain the quality of silence in the Matheson motor, the following problems have had to be successfully solved: "1 The workmanship must be extremely and uniformly precise to one thousandth of an inch. "2 The element of undue heat (which is the most destructive of all elements in a gasoline motor) has had to be eliminated. "3 the lubrication must be abundant and the system of lubrication virtually fool proof.

4 The bearing surfaces must be very large, and "5 The materials usedTnust be the very best possible to obtain for each part "Having obtained silence in the operation of the Matheson motor by meeting successfully the above conditions, it was then found that a great I gain had been secured in the matter of Rubricating oil consumption and in minimized wear, so that the mechanical meaning or significance of silence In a motor car means economy of me chanical up keep and economy of oil and fuel consumption in addition to the advantage of uniform efficiency and service. "How well these facts have been proved is attested by the great string or victories of Matheson "Silent Six' during the past two seasons in which it has never lost a hill climbing con test nor an endurance run, although it has competed in almost every one or importance. THAT POPULAR MOTORETTE. H. J.

Hill Finds Great Market For Three Wheeled Machine. For a long time people of moderate means have been looking for some system of locomotion that could Toe procured at a reasonable rate. They wantea an automobile, and it remained for H. J. Hill, of 321 North Washington avenue, to put something vithin their reach.

Mr. Hill introduced the Motorette and it immediately became so popular that people in all walks of life dug down for $385 and secured the Modal Motorette, a fine little machine that answered every demand for speed, comfort and durability. The Motorette is a three wheeled affair that is destined to come into uni versal use before many more months. It is an innovation on the automoMie market that will revolutionize the present trade. It is not a cheap imita tion of an automobile, but a refinement and ultimate development of the motorcycle.

No. 1. TWO CARS ARE ADDED. Eureka Introduces More Popular Machines. The Eureka Motor Car company, of 21S 220 Adams avenue, in addition to an alreadypopular line of automobiles, has introduced the Mitchell Baby and a five passenger, forty horsepower.

The prices for these cars, that have a ready market all over the world, will be a revelation to auto enthusiasts. The 1912 models have arrived and are on exhibition at the Adams avenue garage. Both show the best of workmanship, successful attempts to secure a serviceable car in addition to one that would look the part when "on parade." No better looking car ever came into Scranton than the Mitchell Baby and the Five passenger Six. The Mitchell has been entered in the Glidden tour, which starts next Saturday for Jacksonville, Fla. It is considered one of the strongest contenders in the race, for it is notoriously a durable instrument, with everything pointing to an even better showing since the introduction of 1912 improvements by the manufacturers.

Interest in the automobile circles is already centering in the garage of the Eureka Motor Car company. ALL STARS WIN. NEWARK, N. Oct 8.
