ELKIN REED LANDS
HUPMOBILE AGENCY
New Model Of Famous Little Car
Attracts Considerable At
tention on Streets.

The Washington agency for the Hup-
mobile has been secured by the Reed
Motor Supply Shop. After some weeks
of speculation as to who would land
this coveted account, the deal was
closed last week by Elkin Reed and
factory representative Of the Hppp
Motor Car Company.
Immediately after the consummation
of the deal a new model Of the Hup-
mobile touring car was turned over to
Mr.. Reed, who no sooner made his ap-
pearance on the streets with the little
beauty than he was beseiged by en-
thusiastic motorists, mostly owners OF
older models OF the Hupmobile who
swear by the little machine, requesting
demonstrations. Mr.. Reed has landed
a live account and is to be congratu-
lated
The new features Of the Hupp line
are a larger, roomier touring car, and
a two-passenger roadster. In the con-
struction OF the Hupmobile, the highest
grade Of material is used and the same
skillful workmanship that goes into
more expensive cars. The Hupmobile
gives you everything that you can get
in the biggest and best of motor cars
except size and superhuous power. The
new model is worth taking a look at.

Clement studebaI1er. jr., vice president
OF the Studebaker Corporation. was
plainly amused the other day when q
friend remarked that the quality OF la
Dor gathered in American automobile
factories could never compare with that
available in similar enterprises located
in Europe.
That idea has been current 50 many
years that 1 suppose 1t has come TO be
q sort Of fetish" said Mr.. Studebaker.
I'As q matter of sober fact. though.
American automobile factories can boast
with perfect justice q higher grade Of
European labor than the European fac
tories themselves.
THE growth Of the American automo-
bile industry Ilas proven a boon for the
European mechanic. II has enabled him
to emigrate with a certainty Of work at
once at more than double his old wages.
The pick OF the foreign labor Is now in
America as a result
"of course, this element is really OF
minor Importance In our factories. Amer
lea has developed its own style Of auto
mobile making, and a far superior style
II Is As q matter Of fact, American
methods Of machine manufacture are far
more accurate than the most painstak-
ing sort Of hand work. The machine
cannot rnaka n mistake Each of its
movements is limited to q very definite
range; each operation is perfect repe-
tition of the one that has taken place In
the corresponding cycle before.
Even the novice At motoring knows
that his American-built EMF 20 or
Flanders ''20' Is nearer perfect accu-
racy than is possible for its European
rival in the worlds market.
But there remain a few departments
OF even an American factory where hand
labor is still employed. In the building
OF tools and experimental parts and. in
the delicate operations of fitting motor
bearings there exists q demand for the
most skilled hand labor in the world.
In these departments Of our Detroit
plants mechanics of European birth are
greatly in the majority. There are now
in our employ scores Of men who have
worIe ed in the shops of the European
manufacturers. Germans from the Benz.
Italians from the Fiat. Belgins from the
Minerva. Frenchmen from the Darracq.
and Britons from the Rolls-Royce and
British Daimler, work side by side with
Swedes. Austrians. Scotch, and the
other races Of men who have learned
to accomplish by patience and psinstak-
ing a mechanical art that even the
versatile American machinery has not
wholly usurped."

Industry in this country Il now about
ten years old. During that time automo-
hIles have been painted every conceiv-
able color and these colors have been
put in every conceivable combination. In
the early days cars were painted entirely
black, but as time went by this was
rather too sober for the public general
ly and therefore, numerous colors were
employed.
About 1903 a great many cars were pro-
duced painted entirely red. This proved
to be rather too noisy for the ma
jority Of buyers and then blue. yellow,
gray, brown, and numerous other colors
were tried, all OF which have been found
less durable than red or black. To-day
the public generally has come 10 con-

garb when It has at least a portion of
its surface covered with red. The public
has ceased to consider red q loud" color
on an automobile. Red and black are
vastly superior to any other color which
could be used. not only in the satisfac-
ton given to the owner after the car
has been purchased. but. they are also
much easier colors to handle IN the paint

GRAND TRUNK STARTS WORK
Engineers and Builders Get Busy in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The first work on the construction of the Grand Trunk in the state of New Hampshire was started last week. Seventeen engineers met in Concord Monday, received their gen. eral orders, and dispersed to the vari- ous parts of the line for the pur- pose of making general survey for the double track system. The route for the connecting link in that state will begin at White River Junction touching at Manchester and possibly Concord. An effort will be made to reach the towns and cities in south western New Hampshire which are in most need of railroad facilities. The engineers have been instructed to spare no expense in the construction of one of the best lines of the country.
 The survey will include plans for bridges and the location of stations and work on this will be rushed so that the plans and definite layout of the road can be filed with the su- preme court of New Hampshire as required by the general railroad law of the state. George M. Thompson, the former chief engineer of the Bos- ton & Maine railroad, is in charge. having left the B. 6 M to take service with the Grand Trunk.
