Display of Foreign Cars at
Hotel Aston Opens Next
Saturday, Hour Be-
fore Palace Show.

The Automobile Salon, as the annual
exhibition Of foreign cars in New YORK
is known, again has the honor Of inau-
gurating an American automobile show
season. For tho 1915 season. however.
it's margin Of precedence is measured
by only an hour, instead Of few days,
as has been the case In other years.
The formal opening of the 1915 salon
In the Grand Ballroom Of the Aston will
take place next Saturday, January 2, at
o'clock, following an informal recep-
ton in the morning to be attended BY
q number of invited guests.
II will have the distinction OF being
the only automobile exhibition OF an
international character, and the only
one including cars Of European manu-
facture, to be held anywhere In the
world this season. The famous Paris
salon and the London Olympia, and, In
fact, all the foreign shows, have been
abandoned, for 1915 at least, because Of
the war.
The holding Of the Auto Salon this
season, with its customary number OF
new models, is very creditable in view
of conditions occasroned by the war.
Europe Is often referred to as the
birthplace of the automobile, and the
cradle In which its infancy was spent.
and there is no denying that this cradle
Is now being violently rocked.
Practically all of the importers, how
ever, have been able to secure the new
models and special jobs intended for
the 1915 show season abroad and In
thi country. The construction Of these
cars was well under way, and in some
cases completed, when the war started
Their shipment to rnis country has
been possible, partly through the fact
that they are not readily adapted II

Mercer, Maxwell and Stutz
Teams Named for Van
derbilt and Grand Prize
Races in California.

Three Of the swiftest speed creations
ever turned out by an automobile fac
tory were entered last week for the
Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prize races,
to be held at the Panama-Pacifc In
ternational Exposition on Washington's
Birthday, February %, and February
81, respectively. They are the Mercer
trio, one of which is to be piloted by
Eddie Pullen, winner Of the last Grand
Prize race held at Santa Monica, CAL,
this year, and winner Of the recent
Corona race.
In the Corona race Pullen broke all
road race records by averaging S7A
miles an hour. Pullen also holds the
record for the Grand Prize races, hav-
ing shattered all previous marks on
the Santa Monica course. The Mercer
team has had an exceptionally success.

strive to defend the Gold Cup, as well
as win the famous silver trophy in the

SERVICE A BIG ASSET
Mitchell Owners Well Looked
After in This Territory.

400 often" says Harry 8. Houpt,
tn Mitchell distributor, "the automo-
bile owner after he has bought car
falls to find the service he has q right
to expect. Sometimes this lack of SER
vice Is due TO the factory, and quite
as frequently IL Is discovered that the
dealer is doing business on too limited
o capital and fails to keep large
enough supply of parts on hand to
meet the needs Of his customers.
mo such complaint can be made
against as, as the Mitchell-Lewis Mo-
tor Company has safeguarded against
any possibility Of irritation to its own
ers in thoroughly planned and
strongly built structure of renl ser
vice. Here In New York we maintain
seven story building with $4,000
worth Of parts, covering every model
the Mitchell company ever turned out.
Not only this, but we have q full sup
ply Of tools, machinery and a corps OF
trained men to take care Of our Gus
toners. Above all this, we try to
maintain a spirit Of fairness In dealing
with Mitchell owners. These are our
safeguards against service irritation
and are our strongest arguments IN
making new owners in our territory"

MAXWELL STOCKS LISTED
Big Detroit Company Achieves
Unusual Honor.

Owners of Maxwell cars and particu-
larly automobile dealers will be pleased
to hear that, despite the war and
rather depressed business conditions
during the early part Of 1914, the Max
we'll Motor Company, of Detroit, en-
joyed the most successful year in its
history.
Under the skilful and able manage
ment of Walter z. Flanders the Max
we'll company this year concentrated on
one model, low priced car. As re-,
suit Maxwell dealers made money and
their customers were delighted with
their cars. What is equally important
the Maxwell company made money, too,
as the last annual statement Of the
company showed net income of more
than si,5OO,OOo, against dividend re-
quirements on the first preferred stock
Of SS59,553.

purposes and partly because
the European governments are willing
TO help their manufacturers retain their
export busiE9ss.
This year the salon exhibitors are
even more reticent than In the past In
the matter Of announcing In advance
the features Of their new models. 10
il safe to predict, however. that there
will not be anything radically new an
chassis design, although some OF the
reinements are said to be Of q nature
which might be termed new eonstrue-
ton. In the matter of body design "
Is different, for, according 70 reports,
several novel types are to be intro
duced, and even last years standard
of ultra-luxuriousness In Enclosed
bodies is to be SURPASSED.
Through the instrumentality Of the
Department of State Of the United
States government Germany has re-
leased and permitted the shipment
from Belgium Of the special Minerva
cars, built for this seasons exhibit
tons. and these will be shown at the
Automobile Salon. This make has.
therefore, been added TO the list OF
exhibitors announced last week.
When the Germans reached BRUSSELS
they found these special cars at a
eoachmaker's being fitted with bodies.
They also found that they had been
consigned to the Minerva Import Com
pany, Of New York, an American cor
poration, and Il was due 20 this fact
only that their release was secured.
According to q letter just received
from the president of the Minerva
company. the factory at Antwerp was
only slightly damaged by the German
bombardment That part Of II, how
ever. devoted TO the manufacture Of
guns and projectiles was totally de-
stroyed by the Belgians before the
evacuation. The company also has a
parts factory at Amsterdam, Holland,
to which all the drawings. dies and
patterns were removed before the Ger
mans captured Antwerp. The making
of Minerva GLASSES has already been
started at the Amsterdam factory.

APPOINTS NEW DEALERS
Cuba and Porto Rico Now on
Oldsmobile List.

The appointment last week of J. NJ.
Otero az the Oldsmobile representative
for the island Of Cuba, with location
on Paseo de Martin in Havana was one
of the two important recent develop
ments in the campaign for foreign
business which is being conducted by
the Odds Motor Works.
The other development was the al
lotment of the island of Porto Rico to
Pietrantoni, Solo & Co., probably the
best known importers Of automobiles
and accessories in the West Indies.
Both are considered logical selections
for handling the sales of the Oldsmo-
bile light four. the demand for which,
the makers state, is growing rapidly in

When officials of the Board of Edu-
