demonstrators had to sleep, for per-

exquisite beauty of the sleek speed

My first pause of last night was be-
fore the exhibit of the Pennsylvania
Auto Sales Company, with b. l.. Da-
wilson in charge. B. l.. took us into
his confidence and told us something
about the handsome national IL

the owners of better grade cars. The
National 10 was born of the Six.
And since he mentioned it, strikes me
that every time I've sen National

After that pleasing little interview.
I stepped over to the exhibit of the
Miller Auto Company who are show

very enthusiastic. and I can readily
understand why. He has a car that

Our next stop was with J. u. Ferry
of the Auto Sales and Distributing
Company and their exhibit OF the In

classiest looking f1ve-passenger cars
