"SH ADVISES "BO' upon
LOCAL MOTOR TOPICS
Suggests a Trip to Washington fol
Personal Observation.

Dear Bo-You went back alomost to
the year 1 in Washington's automobile
history in that letter of yours, and for
your text book must have taken the first
work ever written on the subject. I will
try and enlighten you upon some Of the
things you are not so desirous Of learn
ing, but will not guarantee my data
would suggest that you make a special
trip to Washington and make the rounds
yourself
Yes, Cliff Long still dispenses Stude-
bakers and in the same old way. Just
at the present time he is devoting his
spare time to scanning the election fore
casts
The Trew boys are now handling the
REQ, and. have changed the name OF the
firm to the Trew Motor Company. Their
principal difficulty at present is their in
ability TO secure cars fast enough to fill
orders.
Emerson and Orme now have the Buick
and are doing a land office business with
this popular priced car. In addition to
the Buick they have also the agency for
the Woods Dual Power Gas Electric
No. you need not worry about Sam
Luttreu breaking away from the Packard
so long as they continue to build automo-
biles. If they ever should pass up the
car business for aviation, have no doubt
but what Sam would follow right along
Certainly Bill" Jose is still with the
National Electric. What would the acces-
sorry business of town do without Bill. -
Some day also we hope to have another
endurance run, hill climb or truck run.
and it cannot be done unless "Bill'' is
on the job as starter.
Billy West spends his spare time
fishing. He is a motorboat enthusiast and
every Saturday afternoon when condi-
tiOns permit he hikes himself to the
Patuxent and spends the weekend trying
to influence the fish TO take hold of his
hook. Judging by the strings he brings
home he is persuasive.
Royce Hough is representing the Scripps
Booth and the Marmon cars in Washing
ton and is selling them about as fast as
they arrive.
You are right about Burton Leary. He
still handles the Maxwell and is so far
ahead on orders that he has gone to
Atlantic City for a few days in order to
give the factory time to catch up with
his sales.
Air cooled cars that 60 by the name
Of Franklin. and recommended for their
small gasoline and oil consumption, are
still the pee of Dave" Hendricks. His
greatest worry is not getting orders for
cars but getting cars to fill the orders.
One of the new ones that we have in
town since you were here and who is
building his business on service is ''4SO'
Mundy, manager of the Chevrolet branch
He has been here about three months
and during that time devoted the greater
portion of his time to seeing that his
service station was being run to take
care of the owners that were already
driving his car He believes in making
statesmen out Of owners by giving them
such good service that they will send in
prospective buyers.
Leon Hurley is as happy as a child
with a new toy. At last he has re-
ceived his Jeffrey Six. Roll Edge, touring
car, the latest thing in the way Of motor
cars that the Nash Motor Company have
to offer. The car has been promised to
him for several weeks, in fact since
about August l. Since its arrival the
middle Of the week he has been busy
keeping a number Of postponed demon
stration dates.
Le Roy Livingston is busy these days
trying to keep his stock of Hood tires
somewhere near M with the orders on
hand Since early in the summer it
mas been almost impossible for him to
keep on hand enough Of the popular size
tires to meet the demand.
Our old friend Len Chew has about
come to the conclusion that his knowl-
edge of bookkeeping was not quite as
complete as he had thought. His book
keeper resigned a week ago and until
he can secure another he has been try
ing to keep tab on his Pennsylvania sales
himself. He Is alright a tire sales
man but when it comes to bookkeeping
he is not up to the mark.
Well old top will have to stop as the
hour is getting late.
Goodnight,
81.
