TOBACk REACHED

New President of Ranney Com.
pany Entered Auto Business
Only a Few Years Ago.

Opportunity may not knock as often IN
the retail end OF the automobile business
as il does among the wholesalers, BUY
that il can operate quite as effectively In
cases is shown in the quick advancement
OF Samuel S. Toback, who. a few days
ago, was elected president OF the A. FL
lott Ranney Company, Of this city, dis
tributers OF Hudson cars.
Mr.. Toback, who had been in the auto
mobile business in Brooklyn, Joined the
Ranney Company only in 1910, a year al
ter Il had taken over the sales OF the
Hudson in this territory. Under his man
agement 1t has grown to be one OF the
biggest factors in the local motor car
world.
Mr.. Toback, who is a lawyer by profess
sion. is only thirty-one years Of age.
Long before entering the motor car field
he held strong idea that II was filed
with possibilities. He gained a foothold
in the trade in Brooklyn in 1903, and IN
two years had made a reputation that
brought him to Automobile Row. That
he would eventually attain the leading
nosition in the organization has been ex-
pected for some time.
II is understood that Mr.. Toback's
plans include general Strengthening OF
his selling organization, wherever pos
sible, and the acquisition OF more terri
tory, in order 10 enlarge both the retail
and wholesale ends Of the Ranney bust
ness.

nounced, there will be no commercial car
section OF the show this year.
The Palace has been most magnincently
decorated for the occasion. The deco

II seems quite proper that an exhibi-

inaugurate the 1914 show season, because
Europe was the birthplace OF the modern
automobile and the cradle Of Its infancy.
Heretofore the annual salons in this city
have introduced TO the American motor

foreign builders. and the one which opens
Friday will prove no exception.
Thirteen different makes OF automo-
bles, representing six nations. VIII Dc

Negro Children
Discover Blaze.

The fire was discovered shortly before
10 O'Clock this morning by negro chill
dren who were playing just outside.
Smoke oozing from the crevices of the
closed doors and windows was the first
indication, at which an alarm was
given. When the door of the warehouse
was opened smoke poured out in great
volume. indicating that the fire had
been smoldering within for a consider
able length of time. and that it had
gained great Roadway.
The firemen found a hard task before
them when they responded to the call.
Six streams were turned on the struC-
ture, one from the top of warehouse No.
l, the companion of the burning build
ing, several from behind the burning
warehouse, and one which ran over the
top of the building and into the third
floor. None of the streams was effect
i've, however. The fire, smoldering in
the unattainable second floor, was not
exposed to the water

who. clad in rubber coat directed his
men in every conceivable form of fire
fighting.
The big warehouse has q basement
and three stories, and each compart-

1t is likely that every article in the
building will be ruined, by water if not
by smoke or actual fire. The heat
within the building was intense, as the
firemen found who plunged into the
smoke to drive the flames from their
ambuscade on the second floor.
The first perceptible Roadway made
by the firemen was about 1890 o'clock
this afternoon. when the smoke cleared
away sufficiently to allow them to run
ladders against the sides of the build
ing, and to play the hose through the
windows into the heart of the seething
furnace within.
Firemen from stations No. 2, and

from station No. l, made up the force
fighting the fire, and which pressed into
service every fire plug within reach Of
