is authority for the statement that over
one-half of the space for the event has
been taken and contracts signed for. In
view OF the fact that little soliciting has
been done, this is considered a remark
able showing. Considerable time has
been devoted to the details that must
not be sighted in order to make the
show a success from every viewpoint
Water-color sketches have been submit
ted for the decorations, all Of which are
of ap unique and colorful nature. Who
the lucky bidder is will not be known
until the committee meets and passes
upon them
Inasmuch as the local show follows
che Philadelphia exhibition and precedes
the Baltimore by two weeks, thereby
getting on the regular show schedule,
local motor enthusiasts can look forward
to the most magnificent display OF auto
mobiles ever attempted locally.
Interest is rampant amongst the auto
mobile devotces of the city over the
coming exhibition, showing that the
lapse of one year in Washngton's show
schedule has whetted the appetite of the
public for this seasons affair. When
it is to be considered that no expens+
will be spared or stone left unturned to
make this the banner show in Washing
toms automobile history, il can readily
be seen that interest will be sustained
until the lights are turned ont at il
o'clock on the last night of the exhibit.
AS in former years, the show will open
at s o'clock Monday night. February 3,
and for the balance OF the week at 10
d m. closing at II p. III.
Thursday has been selected as society

4. B. LEARY TAKES
The MAXWELL LINE
The United Motors Company Closes
Local Branch Appointing an
Agent for Its Line.

CLOSELY following the announcement
that John Thomas. for a number of years
manager OF the United Motor Washing
ton Company. a subsidiary company or
the United Motors Company. had been
transferred to the Philadelphia branch,
comes the announcement that the doors
of the local concern will be closed and
the agency for the Maxwell line taken
over by H. r. Leary. Jr.. local agent
for the Rambler and Mitchell which he
will continue to handle in connection
with the Maxwell.
Mr. Leary. who has been located at
1871 Fourteenth Street. will abandon his
old location and move into the building
formerly occupied by the United Motor
Washington Company. at l32l-23 Four
teenth Street. the possession Of which
will give him a bright. cummodious show
room for his three lines.
The Dupont Garage Company, which
concern has shared "A portion of the old
Maxwell agency, will. by reason of the
new arrangements. be compelled to seek
new quarters 1t is probable that they
will move into the building vacated by
Mr. Leary.
Bert Robinson, who has been connect
ed with the Maxwell agency for a num-
Der of years. will remain with Mr.. Leary
and take control Of the Maxwell selling
force. W. a. Ward will handle the
Rambler sales. and Whitney Leary will
devote his efforts to the exploitation Of
the Mitchell.
Ii is Mr.. Leary's intention TO entirely
remodel and re-deCorate the new quart
ers before moving into them, and he
proposes to make il one of the most at
tractve show rooms in the city.

Winter Treads

Now these tires, If wanted, come
with the ideal non.skid tread.
A double-thick tread, made of
very tough rubber. Not a mere
single tread.
Deep-cut blocks which present
to the road surface countless edges
and angles. Enduring treads with
a bulldog grip.
And blocks that meet at the base
so the strain is distributed-not
centered, as usual, on a part of
the fabric.
These things mean a long-lived
tire, a grip that's sure and last
ing protection. Come see it.

Auto Accessory House Prosperous.

Nothing but success has attended the
efforts of the Washington Motor Car
Equipment Company since the members
of that firm announced and carried out
their intention Of occupying the mag
finicent and centrally located storeroom
at 1877 New York Avenue.
During the period they were located
in Fourteenth Street n gOUdly pro-
portiOned business was established,
which has enjoyed a phenominal growth
since their advent into the heart of the
auto district, vindicating their judgment
that, when you have what the people
want. a slight increase in expense is not
to be considered in attaining proximity
to the thrOng OF buyers.
With the removal of their business
TO a district convenient to the purchas-
ers OF auto accessories, the stock has
been increased in variety and a cash
system of transacting business adopted
enabling them to sell at a lower price.
Their wisdom in adopting the new sys-
TEN has been proven, as evidenced by
the busy appearance of their shop at all
times.

uries are being shown and suggested as
