HARRISON SPEAKS
OF AUTO TRADE
Prominent Dealer FOresees Fine
Future for Industry in
United States

What the future of the automobile
industry is to be it is hard to deter
mine when the rapnd ascendency of the
demand for motor cars and the large
number of factories being founded and
the amount of money being invested
are taken into consideration. In speak
ing of the outlook for the industry in
general H. o. Harrison, president of the
H. o. Harrison company, local distrib-
uters for the Peerless and Everitt cars,
said yesterday:
In regard to the future we must ad-
nit that the day when the automobile
manufacturer who has been assembling
and extensively advertising his car can
offer a spurious article is past. He
must deliver the goods or the public
viii soon find him out. There is not
a manufacturer who can dictate TO the
public. If he would be successful he
must make what the public demands
The industry is to be conducted in
the future on a healthy basis. The
complete confidence of the general pub
lie is to be secured and the bankers of
the country are the ones who will back
up the cars. I expect the average out
put of the automobile industry will be
approximately 200, 900 cars a year at
a valuation of s225,00o,000.
1T is conservatively estimated that
there are alone 100000 agriculturists
and suburbanites 10 buy automobiles in
the future. It is certain to take from
IL to Is years to supply these 3,00O,-
600 prospective buyers. At the end of
that time the automobile will have
proved to be such a paying investment
to the original purchaser through his
increased efficiency and the broadening
Of his scope of living that he will re-
peat his order and buy again. The in
dustry is bound to be conducted on this
basis

"FLANDERS" GOES
UP in A BALLOON

An automobile ascension was the ex-
traordinary sight recently afforded to
the people of Los Angeles. A Flanders
"2O'' automobile was attached to the
balloon in the place usually occupied
by the balloon basket.
The car was a stock model, nobby
runabout weighing about 1900 pounds,
and as it .dangled above the city. the
novel sight attracted wide attention.
Swinging below the automobile in it's
upward flight was a great streamer
bearing in letters which could be seen
electrically manipulated automobile
horn of the most frightful variety kept
up constant screech, attracting even
more attention from the crowd below
while thousands of sheets of advertis-
ing matter futtered and flew through
the street over which tho automobile
swung
The crowd yelled it's approval as the
great gas bag arose majestically into
the air with the automobile dangling
below. and as Pilot Unger touched the
button which caused the electric horn
to blow forth it's message, higher and
higher it rose, the automobile swinging
from side to side, and then spinning z
around as the upper air current
caught it, Pilot Unger invoIuntariIy
seized the trapeze rope with one hand
ready to swing free of the automobile
should the ropes part, but the Flanders
took to the air like a bird and soon
settled quietly to the movement of the
balloon.

RENAULT CARS in
PERMANENT Home

Elegant and refined quarters, befit-

are the new ones just opened by the
Renault Freres selling branch in this
city. The new home of the Renaulte is
at 116 Van Ness avenue. The sales
room is elegantly fitted and appointed
and the office is arranged for every
convenience.
What is probably the greatest fea-
ture of the new quarters is the repair
shop. which. in keeping with the rep
utation of the car. is not large, but
amply spacious enough to contain the
appliances necessary for overhauling
and cleaning the Renault. This repair
room is in charge of factory men, who
thoroughly understand the RenauIt, so
that when the car is taken down for
the purpose of cleaning there is no
danger of it being reassembled incor-
rectly nor misused on account of ig-
norance of its construction
Rene ]. Marx, manager of the branch,
said yesterday:
These quartersj are as large as we
need. The showroom will hold, with
out crowding, the models we have for
demonstrators, and the repair shop is
plenty large enough to contain what
little overhauling we have to do on
the Renault. We are merely in more
comfortable and more convenient and
appropriate home, where we can take
good care of our customers and own
