 week that it has been impossible for us
 to supply the demand" said C. W. Rich ardson.
 w. E. Hilker, manager of the Boorse Motor company, is a crank on service
 He has systemitized this branch of the agency to such an extent that the Chal- rners owner doesn't have to wait many
 minutes to have his car adjusted when he drives up. Call it system if you want ) but that is system plus brains. , The day hasn't long passed when a
 dame thought you were sport if you
 rolled up in front of a gilded lobster palace and bought her ham sandwich , with something to chase it. It is differ
 ent now. All you've got to do is to buy a few gallons of gasoline and keep roll
 ing.
 A. T. Newell, president of the Newell
 Auto company, distributors of the Nit
 chell has placed this in an enviable

 Ted Brownell sold Ford delivery wagon to the Empire laundry yesterday. That's
 nothing, he does that every day, or
 nearly every day.
 Chester Alexander, of the Saunders
 Motor company, is commencing to rival Tom Shields and Billy Shoppert in the fishing line. He can sell cars better than he fish. but then there are few things in the world that Chester can do
 better than selling automobiles.
 There are more wild rumors in regard to changes in agencies, statesmen, etc., on automobile row than ever before in it's history, but mere rumors amount to little after all.
 Sam Jones is going to try out the old skiff on some body of water today. Sam don't always catch fish, but he is a- ways prepared against getting wet and catching a bad cold And if a snake bit
 him he would suffer no i'll effects. All of which is an argument in favor of pre- paredness.
 You don't hear of any of these "Bub- ble boys" shouldering a musket and go- ing to Mexico these days. Maybe they get enough war on the row each day. Selling automobiles is almost as strenu- ous as shooting at a Mexican anyway. If the boys should shoot bullets as fast as they could Bull they would all be |conscripted.
 Bun Roberts, of the Chandler agency, has been dubbed Frisco Villa" He's always busy, but you can't tell where he is.
 "Maxwell' Duncan cays she may be lit- I tie and fast on her feet, but to him she 1 is the classest thing on the highway He may have been talking about the I ht1f aUo tpl
 about Dune.
 l Bill Pape is aching is take another trip l to. Jasper It is a strange thing, but l Bill never tries to make any record time l when he goes on these countsy jaunts 1 Maybe he is interested in the murmurlng 1 of the trees beside the road; then again l it may be the murmurings of something much closer to his side-anyway, he wants to deliver another car out of town. Jack Crenshaw and Roy Bolton are waking up the natives with their con- tinual Studebaker talk. These boys are hitting the ball pretty hard lately. H. c. Pogue, of the Capitol Motor com pany, is a long distance spark plug booster from your heart. What Pogue boosts he sells and when 1t comes to
 salesmanship this boy has it on a lot of i them. A Party asked E. R. Minhnnett if he could drive as well with one hand as he could with both No. Minhinnett didn't answer he demonstrated. Min nie" always was lucky. A fellow tried to trade Frank Gafford a restaurant for his Ford last week.
 Frank told him he would have to sam ple the kind of food the restaurant was selling. Frank still has his Ford. The fellow still has his restaurant and Frank is still sampling. Looks like it is going to be a Goodyear for the old boy. The Whitman Taxicab company is do- ing a resord breaking summer business, according to P. Y. Whitman. Whit knows the game and is popular with the taxi riding public. With Luckie and Joe Hughes as his assistants he is bound to do business.
 Donald Drennen, of the Birmingham Motor company, is in Detroit on business. Charley Hawley has gotten to the point where he can talk Hupps for hours without letting up. His talk seems to be the kind that gets the money if his record goes to show anything. Charley 1 is a hustler any is always on the job Red Smith is back in his own baliwick. The sorrel topped wonder says there is Tho place like home, and when he says home he means the Drennen Motof Car company. It's cinch that the company | is as glad to see him back as Red is to return
 R. G. Elston, of the Birmingham Motor company is in fine fettle since his return from the west. Elston was always in | fine fettle, and a little trip won't hurt any fellow. He has hit his old gait, which is a hard one to follow. Just because a fellow has safety first | sign on his automobile is no sign he is blind when a good looking chicken winks | her left eye and kicks the dust off her pumps. | The Cruse Crawford company received l two carloads of Republic trucks Fri day They will be delivered within the | next week.
 | The Flint Motor company is pushing l the Frisco This popular little car has | found considerable favor with the auto public lately.
