BOTTER|LL COMPANY
HAS BIG BUSINESS

Speaking of the outlook of the auto
mobile business for this coming season,
Frank BotterIll of tho Botterill com
paDy said yesterday that the company
had the most successful January, not
only from the standpoint of sales, but
from rebuilding aud refinishing work,
gasoline sales and supply business that
the company has enjoyed since the es-
tablishment of the Salt Lake business,
Six Hudson ears were delivered during
January and three Pierce Arrows. Re-
garding the large number OF Pierce
Arrow cars that have been sold in Salt
Lake and surrounding territory by the
Botterill company, Mr.. Botterill states
that he believes that great deal Of
this success is due to the fact that it Is
generally known what splendid service
is given TO each Pierce-Arrow owner,
not only by the Botterill company, but
by the Pierce-Arrow factory. This
Pierce Arrow service began with the
delivery of the first single cyninder
cars in 1900, and actually before the
first Pierce car was delivered a service
system had already been installed in
the Pierce facotry. This service de-
partment has been developed and the
maintenance of this department has
been on the highest plane of effective.
ness, until today it is without question
Che most cInclent service organization
maintained by any motor car company
in the world. Both Tom and Frank
Botterill have been brought up in the
Pierce Arrow organization, and their
education along the service lines has
been received from the Pierce. Arrow
company, and it is pretty generally
known throughout the whole western
country that the service given by Bot
terllls to the purchasers Of not only
Pierce-Arrow and Hudson cars, but
every car that they have ever sold is
satisfactory.
There is, says Mr., Botterill, no ques-
ton but what this service, the high
quality of goods and the reputation for
absolutely fair and square dealing is
the base OF success the Botterill com.
pany has made in Colorado. Wyoming
and Utah. Mr. Botterill adds that the
demand for overhauling and painting
work has been greater this January
than any previous January since thev
have been in business. and the general
demand for supplies is wonderful for
this time Of the year, They have sold
more Goodrich and Diamond tires dur.
ing the month Of January than they did
In March last year. and March is gen
erallv conceded to be one Of the best
months of the year for tire sales They
have been taking Pierce and Hudson
cars as fast as the factory would de,
liver to us all winter, and at the pres
ent time there is carload Of Pierce
cars on the road and two carloads of
Hudsons.

THREE CARLOADS OF
BUCKS RECEIVED

Three car loads Of Bucks received
and distributed is the record made by
Randall-Dodd the past week. Manager
A II. Tourssen says this is unprecedent-

the cars have been turned over to their
owners.

that the automobile season will open
earlier this year than ever before. As
a rule we have only few prospects
looking at cars in early February, but
this year it is hard TO pick minute
during the day when some one is not
looking at our Buick line. We have
more prospects than ever before and l
want to say that 1913 is going to be a
record breaker for u.s.

thusiastic over the truck outlook and
believes this summer will see many
of the business houses adopting them
for general use. 1t is argued that the
larger firms will adopt them as a mat

firms will not be slow to fall in line
for the prestige the motor truck gives
a business house,
Two models of the Alec truck are
now on the way and will be here within

Among leading makers Of electric

these leading makers have adopted
the Motz Cushion Tire even though
it costs them more. They want
their cars to be ,rouble-proof, and at
the same time they want the delicate
