thing that most OF the Iuen
fear is that they may not have enough
factory allotments to take care of the
increased trade which comes their way
With things in this very enviable state
it is no wonder that both dealers and
those in charge of the coming show
feel optimistic as to the result which is
as catching as the mumps-only more
SO.
The ancient exodus Of the twelve
tribes has nothing on the flight which
is being made by the Newark automo-
bile dealers toward Central avenue.
There seems to be a general feeling
that Central venue is the Mecca of
local dealers, and as there is no RED
Sea to cross the pilgrimage is made the
easier. A number of the large compa-
MES with the more expensive cars to
handle have already do , the deed,
and several more have given notice
that they are about to follow. In the
trade there will be found many who
regard this action as utter foolhardi-
ness and fatal; but those who hold this
opinion are for the most part dealers in
the popular priced models, who aim to

reduced price, but on account of some
Individual merit (there is no use deny
ing that every car is better than its
neighbor in some small particular, at
least). With these men 1t is almost y
necessity that they be very handy to
the offices of business men, who are the
real buyers of pleasure cars. The
business man, when he energies from
his office for lunch hour, may quite
easily be decoyed into a handy show
room, and from frequent talks with the
dealer he will feel convinced that the
car he has been looking over is the car
for him to buy. Which is all very
well, and is the only in which
many dealers would ever get a car off
their hands. Accessibility is the n
strong feature that a central location
such as the Halsey-street Branford-
place district has, and the value of ac-
feasibility in any business cannot be
denied. But, on the other hand, where
a car is well advertised, and well
known to the public on account of its
merits, obvious and proven, a prospec-
tive buyer is willing to make a short
trip out of his way to see it. How the
exodus will result is still a matter for
considerable skepticism, but the fact
remains that each month sees more
dealers remove from their downtown
location, and IL numbers are any proof
of the wisdom of the action, there ought
soon to be proof in plenty.

GOOD
ROADS CONVENTION
Three Hundred Invitations Ac.
cepted for Local
Meeting.

Three hundred invitations have been
accepted by grange societies, boards of
freeholders and county and city en-
gineers for the good roads convention
which will be held in this city during
the week of the coming automobile
show in the First regiment armory.
The affair. which promises to be one
OF the largest of its kind ever held,
| will draw large crowds from all over
the State, and should do a great deal
for the good roads movement which Is
becoming SO general of late.
The convention VIII be held Friday
afternoon. February %, under the aus
pieces of the Associated Automobile
Clubs of New Jersey. Governor Will
son has been invited to be present by
those interested.

INDUSTRY A BIG
THING FOR NEWARK.

Most people really have no idea at
all of the enormous meaning which
the word "automobile'' has to this city.
The immense value of the material
annually consumed, and the large num-
Der of men employed, mean nothing
more to them than the dry figures
and it is SO seldom that the dry fg-
ures are brought to light that when
they do come they are a revelation,
even to the mildly interested.
The entire automobile industry in
this city has just doubled. or a little
more than doubled, since 1909. Ac-
cording to figures carefully compiled
by the joint legislative committee OF
New Jersey motorists. the aggregate
value of the automobile business in
this city at the present time is more
than twenty millions. of dollars. There
are more than twenty thousand mer
employed In the manufacture of differ.
emit parts of an automobile, ant
throughout the city there are 10,00
chauffeurs or other men who make 9
livelihood by driving motor vehicles.
There are more than FIVE hundred
garages, and in these over three thou.
sane men are employed in the care O.
the machines. This is apparently 8
small item. until the fact is taken into
consideration that in 1909 there were
less than two hundred garages, en-,
ploying a greatly reduced number OF
men. .
Automobile seems to mean some,
thing to Newark, after all.

RECIPROCITY BILL
GREATLY FAVORED
-
Letters from Men in All Lines of
Business Received by
Legislators.

Automobile reciprocity, but a short
time ago only a promising infant, has
received the right kind of a send-off.
and is growing to be an individual of
quite alarming proportions.
The bill which was drafted by the
joint legislative committee of New Jer-
Hey motorists was taken out of the
hands of the committee last Monday
night, and confidence is expressed in
almost every quarter of it's passage by
the Assembly at an early date. 1t is q
known fact that the lower o of
the Assembly will pass 1t almost unan-
imously, and it is not expected by the
most ~prejudiced that difficulty will be
experienced elsewhere.
Hundreds and hundreds of oommu-
nications have been received by the
Legislators from boards of trade, auto
mobile clubs, business mems organiza-
tons, manufacturers, dealers and even
those in business interests totally alb
stract from motorism. urging that the
provisions of the bill be maintained.
The legislators find that q firm and
very nearly universal demand is being
made hat New Jersey be put on an
equal footing in the matter of automo-
bile reciprocity with her forty-seven
sister States in the Union, and 1t has
been made very clear to them that
there is but one way to act to satisfy
the majority.
There is a prevailing sentiment that
the present laws which New Jersey mo-
florists submit to are utterly out OF the
question for future use, and that the
sooner a fitting substitute Is adopted
the better for every trade n business
interest in the State. The automobile
public of this State has had just about
enough of the present state of affairs,
and is determined that a change shall
be made, and that at once, or a very
explicit reason given for not MAX
ing it.
Local motorists are among the most
enthusiastic for the new bill, and are
pushing for it with might and main.
Confidence in the ultimate result suf-
fuses their every action, but they are
leaving no stone unturned to see that
the desires they have fought so Ions
to accomplish are satisfied.
The feature of the new bill which
has won so much favorable comment
is that fifteen days without special pay
ment each year are allowed outside mo-
florists. and this feature alone VIII
make it necessary for other states to
accord New Jersey motorists the same
privileges which they extend toward
drivers from other States, but which
up to this time have been withheld on
account of the present stringent laws
here.

"I have just visited all the Cole
owners in our territory. 1t was -~"lly
a pleasure for me to hear of the regard
in which all of them hold their Cole
cars. Their mishaps nave been few,
and all of them were loud in their
praise of motor performance.
1T certainly is a great vindication,
IL | may call 1t that, of the effect OF
enclosing all of the moving parts OF
the motor where they have heretofore
been exposed. All Of the motors which
1 have looked at and inspected ran
just as quiet as the day they were de-
livered. L~ooseness of all kinds was
absent, particularly in the valve
guides. which, as everyone knows, has
been a source of annoyance in the past
where dirt has been allowed to collect
and mix with oil at these places while
the engine was in operation"

QUESTION OF SERVICE.

Uppermost in the minds Of many
prospective motorists Is the question
how long an automobile will give salts
factory service, but there never has
been an authoritative answer and II
was generally supposed thai experiences
alone would solve the question.
When the Callan law went into sffect
in New York State, requiring all motor
vehicles to be registered annually, II
rounded up every car in s and made
a record of It's service. While this was
not the intent of the law 1t had that
result, and when the secretary Of state
gave out the registration figures they
furnished concrete evidence of the serv-
Ice that may be expected from reliable
cars.

FINEST EXHIBIT
At LOCAL SHOW
Sixty-one Makes Will Have
Space at Armory
Show.

When the management of the New
ark automobile show summarized what
is believed to be the final adjustment
of spaces this morning It found a total
of sixty-one makes Of cars entered for
tho local motor car exhibition which
opens in the First regiment armory
two weeks from tonight. and which
continues for a week. These include
the finest of the American automo-
bile designers product. both in the
commercial and the pleasure car line.
and the Newark show will thus afford
the first opportunity for motor car
enthusiasts In this section OF the East
to see q comprehensive display Of
pleasure and utility cars under one
roof.
In the adjustment Of space made
necessary this week by the unprece-
dented demand for representation at
the local show, a Encouragement was
perfected which permitted the addition
Of three names to the list of exhibitors
Van Week & Kirby, exhibiting tbs
Metallurgique, were moved from space
95 on the side aisle to spaces 81 and 81
on the main aisle centre; the Lenox
Motor Car Company, with the Crow
Elkhart, taking taking their former po-
sition. The Junction Motor Company,
handling the Cutting. received space
139. on the north side aisle. while H.
Heinsheimer, with the Palmer Singer,
was granted space 1874, on the north
side aisle near the main entrance.
Several additions were also made to
the accessory and parts exhibits, and
