AUTO DEALERS EXPECT BIC YEAR;
PLANF0R FILLING LARGE ORDERS.
Prospects Indicate Great Spring Rush of Buyers Of
Cars This Year; Fall and Winter Sales Were ALI
Satisfactory; Dealers Are Placing Larger
Orders than Usual With Factories

, right through the winter. The distrib-
utors and dealers have TO pay for these
cars at the time of delivery Except
with factory branches practically no
consignment business is done. The
cars are stored at the points of deliv-
cry, awaiting the spring purchasers.
1t is a distinct mark of the substan-
tial foundation and healthy tone of the
automobile business that distributors
and dealers so generally obtain the
financial support necessary to obtain
cars months in advance of the demand.
Commodore William Livingstone, presi-
dent Of the Dime Savings bank of De-
troit said to the American Bankers
association at Richmond, Va;
The disposition in early years to
look askance at the automobile manu-
facturer and dealer has passed, and
with further knowledge Of the bust
ness credits commensurate with sound
banking methods have been extended
TO the mutual benefit of all. No longer
do we hear talk that the automobile
business viii go the same way as the
bicycle business, it being generally
agreed hat the making and market
ing of n Otor cars is among our great
est industries situation to be cred
tied in a large degree to the care and
conservation of bankers who have been
active in caring for the automobile
dealers among their patrons"

ton 10 throw open the entries to as
many cars OF the same make as may
be entered and ii is reported that at
least another Mercer will start. This
is the George r. Bentel Mercer. which
has shown some wonderful time in pri-
waite trials.
The Mercer is in many ways cOun-
terpart of the worlds record holding
Mercer. driven at Corona by Eddie Pull
len, and those who have seen it in
action say that it is just as fast. The
names Of both Caleb Bragg and Eddie
Richenbacher have been connected
with this car. Bragg went north last
week to look over the course.
Richenbacher was originally slated
to drive a PeugeOt at San Francisco,
but his friends say he is planning to
make a switch. Several months ago
Richenbaeher was named as a probable
addition to the Mercer team, but he
appeared at Corona in a Peugeot At
San Diego he again drove this car and
suffered the same i'll luck in a broken
connecting rod.
This determined him, it is said, to
get to an American car, and the Mercer
was his choice, according to friends.
Meantime. reports from London are
that D. Resta, the Sunbeam driver, is
on his way to America to drive one OF
the PeugeOts.

I'll Paso and its trade territory Is
n one of the best sections in the
~ country for the retail sale of au-
tomobnes. This is shown in the re-
port just issued from the Ford factory
in Detroit covering sales for the
months of october, November and De-
cember. While the branches are sup
posed to do bigger business than
the agencies. yet, the Ford Motor
company of IA Paso, only an agency,
was exceeded in business by but three
branch depots in the United States
during the last quarter OF the year.
This was the time in which all the
Jitne cars and buses were sold in FL
Paso. The depots at Los Angeles, Chi
cago and Philadelphia are the only
ones with larger sales records during
that period than the Ell Paso agency
shows. FL Paso's record is better than
that shown for that period by New
Ork, Cincinnati, cleveland, Brooklyn,

4 UTOMOBILE manufacturers and
"A dealers are preparing for a de-
mand next spring that win fully
sustain the pace set by the spring sell
ing seasons Of recent years.
Sales managers and distributors Of
the leading cars unanimously assert
that last falls business was not only
satisfactory but distinct surprise TO
the pessimists.
Requests of distributors and dealers
for ample allotments Wherewith to
meet the rush Of spring, 1915, already
coming in, reveal a confidence in the
field that can only be based on defin-
lite prospects.
Following the usual experience Of
the trade, the first fine days of next
spring will remind these prospects by
the thousands that they want their
cars-and dealers will be expected to
run the cars up to the front doors of
purchasers the day they are asked for.
Many win get their cars promptly,
others viii be disappointed. Few
realize the enormous business involved
in preparation to meet the spring de-
mand. The cars have to be ready at
the dealers point Of delivery.
Distributors and dealers all over the
country are even now placing their
orders for shipments from carloads
TO trainloads on a monthly schedule

EXPECT BETTER
MOTOR GARLAW5
Legislatures Are Not Now
as Antagonistic as They
Used to Be.

Motorists are looking for more favorable
laws at the hands Of many Of the state
legislatures now in session.
There was a time when legislatures looked
upon the automobile as something to be re-
stricted in every possible way. The man
with the horse which SHE'D at an auto was
strong with his vote.
But these times have changed The farmer
who once stood behind his fence and
''cussed" every motor car which came by
is now an auto owner himself Instead of
regarding the motor car as a pest he recog-
nizes It a necessity.
Much Of this change in sentiment has
been FASTENED by the improvements in the
motor cars of today. The automobile has
been safe and simple to operate, thus re-
moving prejudice which was created in the
earlier days when the running OF an adto-
mobile was a rather prayerful sort Of job

to occur when the motor is running

Relative Merits of Oldfield
Cooper and Burman Are
Causing Much Talk.

There's q merry war on in Los An
geles among the supporters Of Barney
Oldfield. Bob Burman and Earl Cooper
and it is becoming more heated and
extensive each day. The principals, too,
are warming up and the result is some
interesting verbal speed
Instead of quieting the question OF
years as to the superior merits in track
driving of Oldfield and Burman, the re-
cent affair at Ascot Park only created
a deeper and more hostile feeling be-
tween the adherents Of the two drivers
Meantime the friends of Cooper assert
ed that he was being overlooked and
that no championship race would be
decisive or convincing without him
in it.
The Other Races.
Burman's supporters say that he de-
feated Oldfield both at Ascot Park and
Bakersfield, at the latter place break
ing the worlds record for so miles
Then the friends of the master driver
of the world" retort that in both cases
Oldfield's car met mechanical mishap
and that his defeats should not be held
as final
This faeling of partisanship was in
creased Vast week when the moving
pictures of the Ascot race were shown.

remarkable dyspepsia remedy will re
lieve the worst case of indigestion
headache, dizziness, or the general
played-out condition that afflicts eve
ry one suffering with stomach trou-
BILE. Mi-o-na does not simply relieve,
it aims to cure.
R. Hodgins can tell you of many
well-known people in this city who
this remedy has restored to health,
often after they have tried many
other methods of treatment with lit
tie or no benefit. No other dyspepsia
remedy has made so large a percent
age of cures as Mi-o-na. 1t is so
large that R. Hodgins stands ready to
refund the price to any customer
whom it does not help
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and
there are hundreds in Moscow today
praising Mona because it does what
it is advertised to do A few months

wondering what the result would be.
