making an afternoon call with his
mother. He had rebelled vehemently
over the calling business, saying: Jaw.

for? She hasn't any boys. and it won't
be any fun"
But, dressed in his best suit, he had
put on his company manners and had
behaved very well indeed, and when
their hostess served refreshments he
began to feel glad that he had come.
When it came time to leave he held

AMPLE STORAGE ROOM
IN The Pierce ARROWS

In the Series Four Pierce-Arrow
Models, the discriminating observer
will note the care with which the
comfort and conveniences Of the user
has been considered. The provision
of ample storage room is a typical
instance
Automobile builders heretofore
have been so busily engaged in work
ing out body lines and improvements
in the performance of cars, that stor-
age room for small articles had been
given very little consideration. The
few attempts that were made TO sup
ply these requirements were often
useless. as the receptioals were so
inconyeniently placed as to be sell
dom used.
Compartments in the past have
been arranged ingeniously, rather
than conveniently.
Storage space is subject that has
been given considerable thought with
very good results in the Pierce-Ar-
row Series Four Models. I'm the four
and five-passenger cars, storage room
has been utilized where it can be
easily reached.
In the back of each front seat there
is a recess or compartment, the door
OF which is almost unnoticeable This
is an extremely convenient location
for these compartments, as they both
lie within the natural reach of pass
engers in the rear seat.
AS the compartments are provided
with doors that lock, articles Of value
may be safely left in them when leav-
ing the car
The left front door OF each tour
ing car also has a compartment with
a door on the inside which locks.
This compartment is arranged to re-
ceive the tools which were formerly
