That this class is growing rapidly in
Washington is shown by the increase in
the number of launches, rowboats, canoes

the Potomac in the past few years. Every

OVERLAND CAR OUTLOOK
BRIGHT PROSPECTS REPORTED
BY WASHINGTON AGENT.
J. T. Conrad, at 1915 v Street, Man
ager of Sales Company, Re-
ports Big Business.

That the outlook for Overland car sales
this season is unusually bright is the
declara ton of the Washington agent. And
there appears to be justification for the
prediction since the satisfactoriness of the
Overland car is getting fresh Endorsement
every day in the number of orders re-
ceived by j. T. Conrad, Washington
manager of the Overland Sales Company,
whose garage and salesrooms are at 1916
street northwest. Mr.. Conrad has in
creased his floor space twofold, and ex-
poets an unusually heavy run on Over
lands when the new models become ia
miliar to automobile buyers.
More Than Holding It's Own.
The Overland is more than holding it's
own" says Mr.. Conrad. Sales are on
the increase. and the fact that our Model
So. which sells for $1,000. is being turned
out very rapidly gives us an oppor-
tunity to guarantee prompt delivery to
purcha sers. Twelve thousand of these
cars will be built this year and 5000 of
the other models, making a total output
of 10000 cars.
1T is this enormous output that makes
the cheap price, and 1t is the popularity
of the car that makes it safe for the
Overland company to turn out SO many
cars.
Neutrality-suspicious. who have bought Over
lands have been well pleased with them,
and there are eleven cars of the 1908
model still running in the District. They
have stood up we'll, and the cost of keep
ing them is wonderfully low. Recently
Washington physician made a thirteen
hundred-mile trip in a twelve-hundred-
and -fifty-dOllar of the 1.NG1 model. He
came back to Washington with one origi-
nal tire intact. The total cost of his re-
pairs on the trip and after was So"
At his garage Mr.. Conrad makes a
speciality Of caring for Overland cars, and
takes few cars of other types.

.F|STER AMONG THE FIRST
FEW PEOPLE PRECEDED HIM
IN THE AUTO BUSINESS.
Runs Garage and Repair Shop and
Has Agency for the
Mora Car.

There are few people in Washington
now engaged in the automobile business
who broke into the game before John
J. Fister did. Fister was among the first
to take up autos. He now runs a gen
eral storage and repair garage at 1918
l. street northwest. Fister used to be
a great bicycle man. but got tired of it.
In addition to his garage, he has the
agency for the Mora car. manufactured
by the Mora Company of Newark. \. j.
As a matter of actual history. Fistef
Is one OF the pioneer automobile men of
Washington. He was engaged in the
bicycle business in 1898, but about that
time automobiles began to come into
Washington. and Mr.. Fister realized at
once the future of the industry He
studied automobiles and opened a repair
shop and garage. While he has done
comparatively little with the sales end
of the business. he has come to be recog-
nized as one of the most expert and re-
liable automobile mechanics in the coun-

Opportunities for Launches.

And yet, even with the increase in the
numbers who enjoy the river in the warm
weather, there are comparatively few
who realize what wonderful opportuni-
ties the Potomac offers. Not only is it
within easy reach of any part of Wash
ington, and pleasant to spend an after
noon on. but it affords wonderful oppor-
tunities for launch trips.
Within two or three hours steam from
Washington the owner of launch may
find a spread Of from three to six miles
in width. On the lower Potomac there
are all sorts of interesting places to
visit, alluring creeks to explore and ex-
cellent fishing.
That Washingtonians ought to pay
more attention to the Potomac has
long been the contention of c. D. Da-
representative. Mr. Davis was a crack
oarsman in his day, but has not raced
much lately. His last performance was
the defeat on the Potomac of Walde-
Qualities in a Motor Boat.
In recent publication the Racine
people have this to say on the general
subject of boats:
In buying a motor boat there is
more to be considered than mere looks,
or style, or appearance-call it what
you may. The greatest point Is quality
Quality of design, quality Of materials,
quality of workmanship, quality of
power plant; all in all, the quality that
means high efficiency.
Perhaps you some time have been
so fortunate as to have seen the va
rfous processes of a great ships build

And this was quite true. To less ex-
tent it is quite true of small pleasure

rectness of design are just as essential
in small boats as in seagoing vessels.
The same conditions apply. These con-
ditions are scientifically reckoned upon
and met in the designing of all racing
boats.
Consider what first-class construc-
ton means. Perfect materials are the
first essential. Do you realize the i'm
