1914 OUTLOOK
fine SAYS BALL

w. NJ. Ball. owner Of the Ball Auto
Co., who is one of the oldest auto
mobile dealers in the state, n pres
ent manager of the Cato City Auto
show, is very optimistic as to the
future for 1914 automobile sales. Mr..
Ball says there were about 10000 cars
sold in North Dakota the past year,
and from comparing the number OF
inquiries now received with the same
| number of inquiries, at the same
| period last year. the sales ought to
be at least 40 per cent greater this
| year than last.
Mr.. Ball will start building in the
| early spring one Of the largest and
finest equipped garages there is in the
| northwest. The building will be 300
feet long, So feet wide and two full
stories high. The construction will
be of reinforced concrete and pressed
| brick with slate roof. Steel doors and
windows, making it an absolutely fire
proof building, all doors to be operat-
ed by electricity and in fact every
| convenience that is known to the up
| to-date garage will be Installed IN
| this new building. On the second floor
will be one Of the best equipped repair
| shops, paint room, a modern fiat Tor
the shop foreman to live in, and space
to store about 200 automobiles.
Judging from the number Of Kissel
Kars seen on the streets of Fargo
Mr.. Ball is certainly meeting with his
share of success on this popular line
Of automobiles.
Until such time as Mr.. Ball gets his

easily. The organization back of the
car insures a consistent output, and
improvements from year to year.
Progress of Building Skies.
AS to six and fo%ur-cylinder cars, it
is interesting to note that there are at
present, in this country, thirty-four
builders of automobiles having half a
dozen cylinders. whereas, a few years
ago, the number OF manufacturers
thus engaged could have been count
ed upon the fingers of n hand. And
yet, after a period of deep study and
wide investigation. a great company,
the Lozier, presents among its 1914
models four-cylinder cars, in the out
put of which they are deeply COM
mitted; while, of course, the four
cylinder Cadillac is a strong feature
of the exhibit Of that company. Natur-
ally, the six" has solid merits; no
stronger proof of this could be offer
ed than that pioneers who had the
courage to build cars thus equipped
years back have continued with It,
and with ever-increasing confidence
and enthusiasm.
In truth there are many signs al
the show that the new six -cylinder
cars OF light construction have caught
the popular mind. In appearance they
are as light and graceful as the car
with less cylinders, and those who
cite as an objection the increased cost
Of running them arc met with state
ments eloquently ~reassuring. And yet
the increased cost, lis a matter thai
warrants careful study, for it is q
matter upon which. as to great popu-
larity, they will stand Or fall.
Apparently, the manufacturers have
satisfied themselves as to this, for ii
the past year twenty prominent max
ers entered the six-cylinder field fol
the first time. This, Of course, lis ex.
tremely significant, although then
testimony at the end of the presen
year will be valuable. But amons
these makers there appear to be M
doubts, and TO their statements sup
porting their action no qualification

the one they have spent in pro
lducing the new style is ample evi
dence OF their sincerity.

At the same time, five makers VIII,

they are by no means the only factors
o. interest either TO buyers or the
manufacturers themselves, In one ar
tlcle 1T would be impossible to outline,
with fairly adequate comment, the
many features here that are interest
ing to prospective 1914 buyers. While
many OF the ideas as set forth in cars
and accessories are but adaptations of
previous features they appear in many
cases. in new places, and are applied in
a RAJ which renders them more at
tracttve than ever before. For example,
the boat prow," or stream line front
end is seen now upon many of the
models. Exhibitors say that radiators
thus designed cost but little more than
sort of tense. efficient, and picturesque
appearance that catches the eye at
once.
The r~ound-cornered mud-fender is
another Of the little things which make
for smoother lines and less wind re-
sistance. The deeply formed dash
cash, they call it-carries the lines of
the hood back into the body, thus Civ
which is altogether pleasing. Long
lamps, shaped like cornucopias are
built into. or on, the tenders, giving the
driver a fine view Of the road at night,
and lamps set into the domes or on the
tops of radiator. are frequently found.
There appears to be an increase in the
number of lamps set into the dash,
while in the back large parcel spaces,
fSdCICu lEoi1l tuS seat ny hILlnR It's
back, are found in not a few Of the
cars. The running boards are kept
clear, as a rule; no designer who is
wide awake, tolerates the idea of a
cluttered running board, apparently,
and even t~ire-carriers are now set in
the rear in a great majority OF cars.
Then you encounter all sorts of ideas
in the way of convertible bodies and
movable tops. At one booth a remov-
able coupe top is so skilfuily fitted that
no evidence of the fact that it is really
detachable is to be discovered even up
on close investigation Yet its great

.HUP ANNOUNCES
| BUT FEW CHANGES

The Hupmobile line for 1914 makes
it's bow to the public with very little
change in appearance or general con-
truction over that of the previous
year. There is a e chassis. this be-
ing the four-cylinder model 90 brought
out two years ago. The smaller model
20 will be continued, which keeps the
Hupp Motor Co in the small car field.
-Four body types of the passenger
variety are fitted to the 80 chassis,
these consisting of the roadster, four
| passenger car, siX-paSsengcr model,
and the coupe. All of these are of
106-inch wheelbase except the six
passenger, which requires that the
| chassis be heightened to 1875 inches.
Fred Bonde, of the firm of Bonde
Bros, distributors in Fargo for Hup-
mobiles, is we'll pleased with the 1914
line and, enthusiastically speaking the
other day, said in part:

AUTOS NOT CAUSE
OF STOCK SALES

The following editorial from The
Chicago Evening American was in
spircd by the complaint of a financial
writer that the large investment in
automobiles was accountable for the
weak sales of industrial stocks. 1t IS
we'll worth filing. The American says:
First. does the United States spend
as much as $3.50, 00O, 900 q year for
automobiles? We hope so, but we are
not sure.
Second, can't this county afford to
spend on health, happiness and the
inspiring pleasure Of motoring a
small part of what it spends on whis-
ky and tobacco?
Third, it was not the automobile
manufacturers who put the price OF
New Haven from above two hundred
and big dividends to below one hun
dred and no dividends. Some widows
and orphans wish they had put their
New Haven stock into a good auto
mobile. Second hand it would be
forth more than the New Haven to-
day.
"Fourth, since whisky costs much
more than motoring and since motor
ing disCOuragcS whisky drinkers
drivers must be sober-why not fight
whisky instead Of automobiles? Make

money into a 500 bond n let the
motorist go hying-that will be bet

FEATURES OF NEW YORK AUTO
SHOW AS SEEN BY THE POST

New York Post: Two subjects stand
out prominently at the automobile
show at the Grand Central palace-the
merits of the six-cylinder as against
the four-cylinder car, and the light
automobile of low price. About the
first spirited argument wages con-
stantly; wherever you go you will find
groups debating relative advantages
of the -four" and the six; both have
their ardent adherents, and although
light skies" is strongly marked
through the medium of exhibits of
1914 models, there are other manufac-
turers who have gone in as enthusiast
tically for the "fours'' as even before,
and have no lack Of argument with
which to support their policy. A gra-
phic idea of the hold which the pres
emit tendency toward production OF the
cheap car a upon the public Is man
ifested by the crowds gathered at all
times about the new $395 automobile,
the Saxon. It is, as n woman motor
enthusiast remarked Saturday, "a
