heads and general discussions of
sales problems. A. E. Corbin, as
sistant sales manager, will outline the
various changes that have been made
in the new model The 1913" is in

there are various minor improve
ments and detail refinements with
which the selling organization must
become thoroughly familiar before
the new cars are offered to the pub
lie.
Packard methods of manufacture
will come in for a large share of at
tention. Under the guidance of ex-
perts, the dealers will explore the

RECORD OF F|REST0NE
TIRES IS REMARKABLE

From New York to Los Angeles
without tire change.
This was the record which Mr. and
Mrs. Albert w. Seamon of the Long
Island Automobile club completed
last week when they arrived in Los
Angeles. So remarkable was the
tire service that the transcontinental
motorists went to the FireStone
branch office to tell Manage: Smith
that all four tubes contained their
original New York air
And not only that" said Mr.. Sea-
man, the left front tire has been in
continuous service since June l, 1913.
Another tire is nearly as old. We did
not expect to come all the way

to make one change, but that is what
we did.

1t is safe to say that no meeting
of the Ad club of Phoenix has ever
been anticipated with any more real
pleasure than the one which is to
be held next Sunday, when the men
who buy and sell advertising will be
entertained by Lebbeus Chapman at
the Garden of Allah
While a number of members are
planning to make the trip by auto,
it is likely that the majority will go
up on the morning train, in order to
be sure of arriving in time for the
big chicken dinner which Host Chap
man is planning for his guests, and to
spend the day at the resort They
will return to Phoenix on the train
reaching here shortly before 10
o'clock Approximately twenty five
members of the organization have
already signified their intention of
attending the meeting, which pro-
misses to be one of the most enjoy
able the club has ever had. Official

The "F'amoas Players" films which
are put on every Monday evening at
the Bijou Theatre present series of
remarkable plays which were originally
staged in New York and the larger
cities and had remarkable success
with the theatre going public. The NOV
ing picture film has made it possible
for everyone everywhere to see these
great productions with the original act
ors who starred in them. So last Mon
day night it was the privilege of
Grangeville to see ''Hearts of Oak =
with Ralph Stewart in the stellar part.
In it was pictured the sublime comedy
and tradgedy of life. The great
natural scenic effects made this picture
more real.
The next Famous Players film to be
shown at the Bijou is "The Port of
Doom" Monday evening, December IA.
Fate, love and death battling on the
high seas is the theme.
