CHAPTER v.

There was so much to be said that
Wright and the girl were at loss to
know where to begin now that they
had an opportunity to talk without in
terruption. With Gloria there was an
undercurrent of unrest caused by the
fact that she feared he had careIessly
broken the promise made on the Rhine
to meet her again in Paris. She had
waited and he had not come.
Wright was no less interested in
what they were about to say. In the
first place, after a long absence, he
was again with the girl whom he'had
made it a point to meet at various
places in Europe. To add confusion
to their friendship, which he had high.
ly priced, had just come the astound-
ing revelation that she was David
Kerrs daughter. How could he be a
friend of the daughter and an enemy
of the father? Then, too, what did
she knew of her fathers methods: and
of his own attitude toward the boss of
Belmont? And if she knew, what did
she think? These things made con-
versation rather an exhausting mental
exercise.
"Well?" Gloria smiled, inviting him
to begin the story of all that had hap
pened since they had shaken hands
and parted, he to go to London and
she back to Paris where she was to
see him later but where disappoint-
ment awaited her,

her to begin, and thus give him the

At any rate, I'm glad we're both
here" He was anxious to have her
interpret the present,
For me 1t is the first time in twelve
years"
This came as glad surprise to
Wright. Then she cannot know much,
he thought Her remark emboldened
him to say:
Didn't you tell me your father was
a real estate OPERATOR"

it is still possible that much of the
money may be asked for.

months until the organization again

EXHIBITIONS DEFENDED
BY c. H. MCAUSLAND

However closely and attentively
he may study his atlas, no man can
know the world until he gets cut and
takes a flrst-hand look" says c. II.
McCausland. of the KisselI[ar.
For the same reason, no man can
thoroughly know automobiles from
study of catalogues and other sales
literature, no matter how truthful the
text and illustrations on the printed
page. This leads TO the conclusion
that the annual automobile shows are
extremely useful from an educational
point of view.
Il have frequently heard the COM
plant that the exhibition of so many
good cars under one roof confuses
prospective buyers and postpones
their decision. This may be true TO
a certain extent, but If the show in
fuences more deliberate and careful
decision, the dealer who has a really
good car to sell shouldn't complain.
When l sell a F<isselkar / want the
buyer to feel exactly as l do, that he
is getting the fullest possible value
for his money. The more he knows
of other cars, the more he must be
convinced of the worth of my car
when he decides to give me his order.
Being ear-wise, he will get more i'm
mediate satisfaction in driving than
he otherwise might. This means less
time and attention on my particles
advice and instruction after the
sale"

FRANK BRIGGS EMPHASIZES
SIMPLICITY In CONSTRUCTION

The ideal automobile of today Is the
most simply constructed. having as
few parts as possible made of the
best selected materials.
The purchaser of today wants a car
that is luxurious in appearance, COM
Portable and serviceable.
By building a car that is simple in
construction, it eliminates many parts
which add to the weight and compli-
cation. Simplicity to the owner in
ours less expense for maintenance
and easier operation
The car that has been in service a
number of years can be overhauled
and worn parts replaced at half the
cost of doing the same work on a
car having unnecessary parts and
complicated construction.
Also by having fewer parts. a car
will run more quietly and eliminate
vibration.
The electric self-cranking device Is
the greatest achievement the automo-
bile industry has accomplished sue
cessfully. making 1t possible for any
one to operate a ear. The combina-
ton of starting motor. rechargins
dynamo and magnetic in one unite,
simplifies the electrical system.
The aim of the manufacturer should
be to simplify the construction of
their cars each year as 1t means q
great saving to the owner.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-02-21

The man who uses the road the
most must concern himself with its
building and maintenance. That
why the automobilist is taking an
earnest and prominent part in the
wave of highways progress which is
extending from ocean to ocean, and
he deserves no particular credit for
what he is doing. Furthermore, he is
of the opinion that his motor-driven
vehicle is going to serve universally
as the means of transport of indi-
viduals and commodities.
Evidence supporting this assertion
is the fact that recent census gave
over a million and a quarter auto
mobiles in use in the United States.
Representing as it does in organized
form these million road users, the
American Automobile Association,
through its State bodies and local
clubs, is a substantial factor in high
ways Improvement, devotlng its ener-
giles to the gradual development of a
comprehensive system which will In
clude township, county, State and
national roads.
That the community should provide
its own local avenues of communica-
ton does not admit of argument; but
when a township is connected with
other townships, then the road be-
comes countrywide in its use and
hence the county helps the poor town
ship as we'll as the rich township in
county road building. In like man
ner, when the State connects the vari-
Gus counties it helps the poor county
as well as the rich county, and finally,
when the nation enters into the work
it connects the poor States as well as
the rich States in the bringing forth
gradually of national highways
system.
