of the Cadillac Company. said:
III the success OF the shows from
our standpoint can be gauged by the
amount of business we were obliged
to decline they were the most sue
cesssul in our experience. Had We
been in position to accept all the bust
ness offered us. both from our Old
dealers, who wanted TO increase their
allotment. and from others who want
ed to take on the Cadillac line, II
would have meant additional orders
for at least 5000 cars.
The factory has practically not
taken an order since last August. at
which time we had accepted contracts
and deposits covering every gar We
can possibly build this year. That
means 10000 1912 models: and Of THAI
number more than half have already
been completed and shipped.
From the standpoint of our retail

CANOE CLUB IS
At WORK ON A
CANOE HOUSE
CONSTRUCTION WORK Is COM
MENcED AND WHEN CONFLICT
ED BUILDING WILL HAVE ROOM
FOR THIRTY CANOES.

The Bayview Canoe Club started on
its modern canoe house Monday morn
ing. The grading of the site selected
for the building has been completed
and the actual work of construction
will be pushed forward. The struc-
ture when completed win have space
for thirty canoes. Most of the berths
have been spoken for but a few are
left to be let to the new members as
they come in.
New canoes are gradually putting in
their appearance at Bayview and now
that a suitable place will be built fol-
the storage of the boats and proper
care can be taken of them, no doubt
the number will greatly increase.
The climate in Pensacola is idea
for canoeing and this winter the sport
promises to be even more popular thar
1t has been during this summer. The
members of the club are very enthu-
siastic and it Is hoped that by mex
summer an addition will have to be
made to take care Of the increasing
number of canoes. For healthful rec.
reation and exercise canoeing is hart
to beat.
