The garages are separate and dis
tinct from the agencies, the dealers
having found hat it is to their adj
vantage to devote their entire time
to the sale Of the machines and TO
let the side lines of the business be
taken care of by others. There are n
number Of 6rst-class garages in Rich

under construction at the present

Prominent In the automobile world
of Richmond is the local branch Of
tho Kline Motor Car company. The
factory is advantageously situated
Just on the outskirts OF tho city. The
fact hat the Kline kar liz recognized
AZ h car of merit and has made an
excellent reputation for itself adds
considerable to Richmond's claim as
an automobile center, and the fact
hat this city VAS selected for the
branch factory seems to indicate that
the growth of the business will con-
tinue as the dealers predict.

is rapidly replacing the beast In
Richmond.

Conservative estimates give TO this
city a total Of something like 2.T00
cars. Most OF these machines were
purchased new and have been bought
within the past few years. Accord
ing to a statement made by one Of
the most prominent dealers IN the
city yesterday, there were in the
neighborhood of $50 motor cars sold
here last year. and it is thought that
the sales for the year just beginning
viii total at least / 600. This number
includes all types OF machines the
pleasure, the business cars and the
motor trucks. which are now becom~
ing so popular with the manufac-
turers and others whose businesses re-
quire frequent Interpretations and de-
iiveries.
There are hut few cities In the
country in which the automobile bust
ness has grown as rapidly as 1t has
in Richmond. The first agency was
established here scarcely more than
ten years ago. The pioneers of the
trade began on an exceedingly small
scale, but now have establishments
ranking with the best, show Il total
capitalization Of something like 5000
