Chester, and Chester bungled. He
was nervous, and foolishly made the
baggage master at the Richmond de-
pot suspicious. He demanded that
the three trunks holding the booty
be put aboard a train which was al
most due to leave. He cursed and
swore, and finally assisted the porter
in loading the trunks on the cars.
Mr.. Stationmaster thought it over
later, and decided that Chester was
no travelling man, and told the po-
lice. This was the clew that traced
the robbers to New York. Then,
when they came to claim their trunks,

to walk quietly away, but Chester
precipitated the arrest by punching

For years the police of the whole
country have been after this man,
and there was a price Of $4,000 on
his head, dead or alive.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY.
Largest Sale During the Month of
March Than in Amy Period IN
History of Automobile
Industry.

More automobiles were sold IN the
United States during the 81 days OF
the month Of March than in any cor
responding period in the history Of
the automobile industry, according to
reports received from many factories
now working overtime.
This has emphasized the certainty
of enormous sales Of automobiles
that will follow during the next three
or four months.
Sales have far exceeded the e2-
pactations of the makers, the de-
mand for cars of the better class as
we'll as for those Of lower price be-
ing so large that even those factories
working overtime cam not produce
enough to fiji the demand.
Charles T. Jefery, general man
ager of Thomas B. Jeffery & Co., an
nounces that March was the greatest
month in the history Of the Rambler
business, more than double the num-
ber Of sales being made IN that
month than in the corresponding pc
riod one year ago.
"The demand is for our higher
priced models" said Mr.. JeHery,
"and the Increase has been chiefly
in the larger cities like New York,
Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas
City and San Francisco.
II understand that many factories
have been greatly handicapped in
making deliveries because Of their
increased business. We have not
been seriously affected, Of course, be-
cause we are independent of all sour
ces of parts supply. We anticipated
this great demand during the spring
months and because we make all the
parts Of our cars we have been able
to make deliveries readily"
This unusual demand, while lndl-
eating a prosperous condition Of the
industry, is more than of ordinary
interest to the buyer because OF the
possibility Of quality being overlook
ed in the assembling Of cars for rapid
sale.
In this connection those factories
with limited outputs have the advan-
tage from the buyers standpoint.
Regarding this, Mr. Jeffery said
"It is a great thing to be indepene-
ent either as buyer or as manu-
facturer of goods. A buyer does not
like to be limited in his choice Of the
goods that he buys. He wants the
best possible article at the most rca-
sonable price.
"Ire manufacturer does not wan:
70 lock to his own profit merely, but
to the profit Of the buyer. He want:
to build cars that will be satlstac-
tory to that buyer. Of course, the
careful buyer always looks for that
product made in this way because he
KNOWS that only with the advantage
Of independence can the best cars be
produced.'
