AMERICAN BROKER
 LIKES NEW PREMIER
New Feature of Overhead Valve Aluminium Motor
 Highly Praised

That the American built car overhead valve aluminium motor. designed by Earl G. Gum, chief engineer of the Premier Motor corporation of Indianapolis, and used in the new Premier Six, is destined to score a world hit Is the opinion of MT. c. H. Cruikshank, foreign trading representative of the great American ex- port brokers, Chipman Limited, of Bridge street, New York.
 MT. Cruikshank has just returned from a nine months swing through practically all the open port markets of the world where he has ben making an investiga- tion for P. D. Stubbs, general sales man. ager Of the Premier Motor corporation; and he reports that wherever the Premier specifications were shown the utmost in- terest prevails. From the Premier cat alog he obtained liberal orders from Christiana, Sidney, Wellington, Athens Barcelona, Havana Amsterdam and Co penhagen.
 'The new Premier" states MT. Cruik- shank. lis the first reasonably priced car to come out with an aluminium mo- tor in spite of the fact that European makers have been partial to aluminium motors for years. In Europe, however, nothing but very expensive cars, such as the De Dion Bouton, the Hispano- Swisse and the Gnome, have carried alum mum motors.

Climbing the Ladder of Success

 ever job had, was to me the very best job in the world and I tried to fill it. I made no elaborate plans for the future. first to do my work second to teach the fellow below me how to take my place; third, to learn how to fill the posi- tion ahead of me.
 Boys and young men should not inn agine that their work is so unmportant that nobody takes note of how they do it. It does not take long to find out whether a boy is on his toes watching how he can best be of help in a situation or whether he merely sits down and
 waits to be told what to do. The simple virtues of willingness, readiness, alert ness and courtesy. will carry boy farther than mere smartness
 Perhaps it will not be out of place for me to describe an incident which may carry a lesson for the young man you are anxious to help. One day when I was teller, customer offered me a fine gold pen. I went right into the office and asked if this man had any loan from the bank. I explained that he had asked me to
 accept the gift. The bank promptly acted and it was not long before the fellow was in bankruptcy The simple course l took saved the bank good deal of
 money.

DEALERS LIKE THE
 NEW SERIES SAXON
Find Big Sale for Cars as Soon as They Are
 Received

Announcement of the new series Saxon cars has been followed by most enthu- siastic reception from the Saxon dealers all over the country and, according to the reports that are coming in daily to the factory the new machines have already found a distinct place in the eyes of the motor-buying public.
 After two seasons of success, before unheard of in the motor car industry the present Saxon motor cars represent the finest product that present engineer ing skill and manufacturing can produce. Already long and tried service in the hands of thousands of owners has won a. universal recognition for Saxon cars as automobiles of unflagging perform ance, economy of upkeep and lasting ef- ficiency. The new series, to which many improvements and refinements have been added, have, in consequence, impressed all who have seen them as cars of ex- ceptional merit
 No sooner had the Saxon Motor Car corporation made public the new series than dealers commenced a clamor for cars that taxed the factory to it's ut most, and the factory production was in smooth working order before the new series was offered to the dealers. One dealer drove away four of the new se- ries, after making a trip to the factory for them Twenty minutes after he reached his home town the four cars had teen sold and he was telephoning back to the factory for eight more.

HUPP IN CAPITOL ID
 CAPITOL RUN |S
 MAKING GOOD TIME
The Twenty-first Capital Was Reached Last Week. 4SOO Miles Traversed
 Up to Date

The Hupmobile United America tour which J. Waller Drake of Detroit is sending to the capitol of every state in the union made, traversed over 4SOO miles and had visited it's twenty first capitol at Des Moines last Tuesday afternoon.
 An early start was made north for St. Paul when one of those nice Iowa fall storms landed on the party just after leaving Ames, right in the cen ter of the famous Iowa gumbo district. From there on the story is the same as it was one year ago and again five years ago and again 10 years ago and to the personal knowledge of J. s. Pat terson, who is one of the members of the party, it was the same 12 years ago when he participated in the famous Chicago to St. Paul run in July, 1904. ] was simply a question of getting all the chains and rope possible on the wheels for traction and proceed at a snail's place. The Hup-Mobile party, with Charles Salisbury and George Lipe driving, took this method for seven miles into this city where they are now waiting for better wealth CT so that they might go farther.
 Before last nights rain the party had been unusually lucky as regards to weather and had traversed in the last week from Madison, Wis, down to Sprigfield, Ill. and over to Jefferson City, Mo, by way of St. Louis, then over to Topeka, Kan. and up to Lin coln After Lincoln the car proceeded to Des Moines and is now headed for St. Paul.

TAYLOR TELLS OF
 TWENTY TIRE HINTS

Now that the change of season is here and motorists are again feeling the dread of slippery streets and the simple rules may be timely" says Jewell Taylor, branch manager the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.
 Due consideration should be given to your tires for they are of greatest importance. All-weather tread tires on your wheels will insure against skid ding and save you many an anxious moment Most drivers do not wish to use chains if it can be avoided. Good year all-weather treads with their flat-topped blocks of tough rubber, with careful driving. obviate largely the use of chains, but if you must use chains he sure to apply them loosely. If they are too tight the metal will gouge into the rubber and the con- stant pressure will soon ruin the tire. Thousands of tires have been ruined by imprperly applied chains.
 Tt is well to have nonskid tires on all wheels, but by all means have them on the rear wheels. If your car is run enough to wear down the rear tires smooth they can be replaced with new nonskids. The smooth ones taken off the front, if still in good shape, can be used the following summer when there is less danger of skidding.
 Many costly skids are caused by sudden application of the brake. In stopping 0 a wet or snowy street it is better to drive at a speed that will permit stopping by cutting down the gas feed than to apply your brake and destroy the constant contact of the tire with the street.
 "The whole problem of safety in fall and winter driving resolves itself into careful driving and proper nonsktd tire equipment"

| 6H1HB second meeting of the tempo | rary organization of Birmingham S automobile dealers was held at
 the Chamber of Commerce Friday night at o'clock. A large and enthusiastic
 crowd of representative automobile men were on hand. Eleven concerns joined the local organization. They are: Drennen
 Motor Car Co.,, Saunders Motor Car Co.,, Detroit Motor Car Co.,, Edwards Motor Co.,, Ensley Motor Co., Long-Lewis Hard
 ware Co., Bessemer; Crawford Auto Co.,, E. C. Nichols, representing the Ford branch; the DeShazo Motor Co.,, Birming- ham Motor Go. and the Alabama Mo- tors Go.
 Plans were discussed for the joining Of the local organization with the Alabama Dealers association. Owing to the fact that several firms were not represented at the meeting this matter was postponed
 until next Friday night, when another
 meeting will be held at the Chamber of l Commerce. At this meeting the local or ganization will vote to become a part of
 the state association. The question of
 having an automobile show here next January was gone into fully. w. B.
 cRed'D Smith has written to Montgom- cry to get data on the proposition. There is no exaggerating the benefits that will accrue from strong local au- tomobile organization which is affiliated with the state organization" said w..
 B. Smith After we get the local or
 ganization going among the dealers we plan to take in the automobile dealers as associate members. If necessary we can hire two plain clothes detectives to elim- mate the stealing of so many automo- piles, many of which are never recov- cred. The question of exorbitant taxes and licenses for automobile owners and dealerse will be dealt with in a business like manner with the backing of a strong force of citizens. The result is that we will get some consideration and action. The meeting next Friday night at 8 o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce should be attended by every automobile dealer in Birmingham I believe we will have a capacity crowd. "
 Ten carloads of Fords are expected in Birmingham this week. They will be de- livered immediately. Six Fords can be shipped in one car. The 10 carloads will be drop in the bucket as compared with the 300 cars already sold by the local dealers in the city, as well as Bes- semer and Ensley.
 Ray Bolton of the Brownell Auto com pany Is leading all the Ford salesmen in the city. He has gone out and brought in an order almost daily. Ray is the sort of fellow who knows how to sell anything, but had rather sell the Universal car" above all others.
 Tom Morris, now with the Saunders Motor company, has staged an awful comeback in the selling of automobiles.

PUNCTURE PROOF
 TIRE MAKES DEBUT American Spring Tire Go. Places DeVoll Spring Cush-
 ion Tire on Market

The American Spring Tire company, 30 placing the Devoll Spring Cushion Tire on the market. This tire bids fair to revolutionize the tire business as it en- tirely eliminates the present air tube. This spring cushion has been invented and developed not only to replace, but to surpass the air tube in all its features Persistent analytical and constant ex- perimental efforts of experts in the me- chancial line during a period of seven years, involving the expenditure of a large sum of money, has produced a tire practically perfect in it's action and re- liability This tire offers all the advan- tages of the air tube and yet completely eliminates all It's disadvantages, such as punctures, blow-outs, rim cutting, creep ing, delays and accidents caused there from.
 By means of reliable tests and actual operation of this tire, it has been proved that 1t supersedes the air tube tire in strength reliability, resiliency and dura- bility. This tire is so constructed that the cushioning is effectuated inside of the outer casing, eliminating the disad- Vantages Of the double center'-the cause of inefficiency of the so-called spring wheels. which have been brought up from time to time to take the place of the pneumatic tube.
 This tire is made to fit, without altera- tion inside any new or old casing now on the market, and Is practically inde- structible.' It also represents a large economic saving. The DeVoll Spring Cushion Tire is composed of series of Swedish steel springs made to fit inside of any outer casing new or old now on the market saving the car owner in many instances the necessity of purchas- ing new castings on account of the fear of a blowout or a puncture. There can be no blowout or puncture when the spring cushions are in use. The spring cushions do not come in contact with the castings, but are suspended on four roller bearings. The function of the roller bear ing permits your tire to take the side thrust the same as the air tube.
