MORRIS ROVER

What is the Morria talisman? Why the public demand for fifteen hundred of these cars a week and more, yet more, and still more?

There are three cars whose names are household words. The name of one is almost a synonym for great wealth-such is its price. The name of another is at the other end of the scale.

Tho third-the Morris-is by a perfection of judgement on the part of its producer so poised between these two extremes that it does in foot give its ownor the best of both worlds;" that of low price and that of comfort, dignity, and mechani- cal trustworthiness.

OIL FEEDING..

One of the most ingenious things that ever has been built into a motor car is the little device which conducts oil into each needed place on the chassis of the Packard ear. Small though it is, it not only acts as a nozzle for-the-chassis-lubricator oil lines. but it does these other things; meters the lubricant to the ex act amount required for each in- dividual point, filters the oil through a felt filter and strains it through a fine screen, seals it. self automatically against the return of any oil into the line and acts as stop against any possibi- lity of dirt getting into the system. Each one of those things" also is done automatically and with absolute positivenose and yet the device is so simple. in operation that its life without need of adjustment will, it is be-. lieved certain, be far beyond that of any other motor car
