whistle, when Stuart, inside left for the
Crescents. shot the first goal at sharp

Will Keep Supply Parts
for $4,000 Motor Cars

concern which made the former Maxweh
car at Tarrytown, y. y.
When It was decided TO continue fur
nishing these replacement parts just as II
the cars had been made by the present
Maxwell Motor Company, the manage
ment cast about for plan OF doing IT,
They decided there was only one way
to concentrate the entire business In one
plant And as the plant at New Castle
is ideally equipped for the purpose ana
ideally located-within 80 miles OF the
centre of population of the United states
it was decided to make that service
headquarters.
When it is considered that one building,
60 feet wide, 122 feet long ard three
stories high, is devoted exclusively to the
storage OF these replacement parts, some
idea may be had of the task involved.
In that building there are 5000 sepa-
rate bins, each containing a separate
automobile part In addition TO this there
are hundreds OF racks, literally miles OF
racks, for the storing OF radiators, mud
guards, frames, axles, etc.
To-day in the New Castle plant every
thing is in order. Having ascertained the
shortages, the company Immediately pro-
ceeded to make such parts as were not
on hand. With a very few exceptions.
every part for every former model can
be supplied almost instantly over nVe
hundred orders a day are shipped, ana II
is Mr.. Burnes's proud boast that 80 pei
cent of the orders are filled within twen-
ty-four TO forty-eight hours after receipt

than can be had at any big mail order
house. where promptness is the keynote.
II is interesting to note that the ma
jority OF the parts come within the twen-
ty-one pound weight limit and are there
fore sent by parcel post. This Is great
saving. especially for those owners VINO
live in rural districts. and who. were the
parts sent by express, would have to make
an extra trip TO town and wait an extra
day for the parts.

Mccarthy had taken position In order to
watch Williams. The pitcher was agitated and
plainly in nervous distress. A look of triumph
and hatred came onto his handsome face as
Mccarthy failed to go TO third base, and he
warmed up with more spirit, occasionally
glancing at the youngster he supposed to be
in disgrace.
Bill Tascott the umpire, staggered out TO
the plate, busted the rubber while the mega
