The New Year

We have passed the door which
opens to another year. The door
vas opened to me bv hands not
my own. could not stay in the
old year any longer even If had
tried. 10, ed its suns and SHOWS
ts storms and darkness, its days
of light and shadow were good to
me. The pain | suffered like the
year is gone. Then some days
there was the touch of gentle
hands and the kinship of under.
standing hearts, these made my
WEAKNESS endurable. Yet now
it is all past save the memory o.
it and the effect of it, there are
plltof my latest self. But what
~ this strange new year? What !?
Ought we to ask? A veil is over
its coming days which only the
future can reveal. We only know
that we have started it. 1t may
mean the end Of life and again
amount to only a small period of
existanca an annual unit in the
span of life Which will furnish
further adventure for good or it.
Who knows? Still We shall trlv.

finished garments.
The idea of displaying fashions on
living models in windows is familiar in
the east, where some OF tine largest
shops use il often, but the novelty of
the thing in smaller western cities had
a decided effect. Following is some
of the comment of the newspapers at
that time:
There was somewhat of sensation
yesterday when pedestrians noticed
living, moving models in the windows
of a local store, showing off the lat
est creations in dress coats and hats.
Another says: The feminine popu-
lation of this vicinity was very agree
ably surprised yesterday afternoon
when they beheld With their own eyes
a lady in the midst of her toilette in
one of the windows of The Specially
shop. The setting Of this display Is
cleverly original, and Stacey B.
Moore, the decorator and advertising
manager, whose fertile brain conceived
the idea and whose ingenuity made it
a reality, is to be very highly comph-
mented for his artistic work.
J Mr. Moore came to Pensacola only
recently, yet the distinctiveness of his
window displays and the originality of
his advertising copy has already Gre
ated much interest in his work.

All letters to Santa Claus must be
mailed or brought to The journal Of

The Journal regrets to say that it
will be impossible to receive these
letters after that date, as the response
has ben so very much greater than
was anticipated Hundreds of letters
have been published in The Journal
during the past ten days, and many
hundreds still remain to ne printed.
All of these will appear in The Jour

the information of the little boys and

The Journal wishes to say that Old
Santa Claus has already sorted his
mail, and has read every single letter,
and has promised that no little boy or
girl will be forgotten. Never before
have so many Santa Claus letters been
received by The Journal but Santa
Claus has promised not to forget a

NO SPECIAL MEET
OF COMMISSIONERS

No special meeting of the Board OF
County Commissioners will be held on
December % as previously announced
as the plans for the bridge at Moline
have not been approved by the war
department and consequently the bids
for the construction cannot be award
ed until this is done.
1t was the intention of the board
to award the contract at the special
meeting and TO start the work as
soon as possible, but owing to the
unforeseen difficulty it will probably

new board which takes office on jan

Mr.. Moore is now located in Pen

By ROBERT F. KAEHLER.

During last June and July when it became known
among the trade that the Ford Motor Company
intended opening factory branch in Richmond,
representatives of eleven wellknown motor car fac
tories came to Richmond for the purpose of inter-
esting me in handling their cars in this territory
About twenty Others wrote offering to send
representative if evinced sufficient interest in
their product to Justify them in doing So
My ten years active experience in the automobile
business in Detroit, Philadelphia Baltimore and
Richmond have given me. believe, very fair gen
eral knowledge of motor car values.
l eliminated, after serious consideration, all
which were not in my opinion, sufficiently we'll con
structed to furnish continuous satisfactory service
to owners, and at a minimum expense for up keep,
disregarding entirely the much larger commissions
allowed on such cars
I also eliminated several exceedingly good high
priced cars for the that the possible sale of
such in Virginia is too limited to Justify the
maintenance of extensive sales and service or
ganization in Richmond and Norfolk, and our deal
ers throughout the State
I determined to handle thoroughly we'll built
car which would furnish owners maximum service
at minimum expense, including first cost and main
tenance.
| interviewed the leading dealers and distribu-
tors in six large cities in the Middle West where
competition is constantly keen, to ascertain which
were giving the best service 10 customers, and
selling in the greatest quantities.
In Detroit, the center of the automobile industry,
found more Saxon in use than any other make
but Fords. In Indianapolis Toledo, Minneapolis,
Cleveland and Pittsburg, the proportion seemed
nearly as great
In these cities Saxon distributors have con-
tracted for from 1900 to 1000 Saxon cars each for
the present 1916 1917 season.
In answer to my direct question as to man,
these dealers advised that the necessary service
work on Saxon cost them less money per car
than any other car they had ever handled.
1t is but reasonable to presume that car reouir-
ing minimum Of repairs and adjustments from a
dealer will render maximum of satisfactory SER
vice to an owner.
During the past six years that have been sell
ing cars in Richmond, my policy has always been
satisfactory service to our customers regardless
Of cost but the cost of such service has been con-
siderably more than l have ever been willing to
admit

The Atwater Kent Ignition System used on

test that any Ignition System has been given
is probably the recent 1O85O-mile non stop run on

furnished 12O,0O0000 accurately timed sparks at the
of $50 sparks per minute for 10S5O miles with
out touching any part of the Ignition System.
The BAYFIELD, Carburetors used on Saxon cars
are also regular equipment such as Stearns-
Knight. National, Lozier. Wnton, Cadillac HAYNES,
Apperson, Jeffrey Kline, Mitchell, Paige ete.-Ray-
field Carburetors extensively used on racing
for power and on pleasure cars for exceptional
gasoline economy and flexibility.

Wagner Two-Unit Starting and Lighting Sys-
tenn for Saxon manufactured by the Wagner
Electric Manufacturing Company, who have been
building motors and generators for nearly quarter
of a century. With the experience and wonderful
facilities and organization of the Wagner Com
pany it is no wonder that Wagner engineers have
advanced the art of starter building far beyond all
others
1t is, and will continue to be, the policy of the
Saxon Motor Car Company to build 'Saxons' of the
same high grade units and Materials and at as low
price as quantity production will permit
In order to fully satisfy myself as to ''Saxon"
performance and economy, l recently drove

Two hundred ''Saxon Skies " in recent 500
mile nonstop run, averaged 2319 miles per gallon
of gasoline for the entire 10000 miles.
Local Saxon owners in Richmond have told me
they have gotten as much as % miles to gallon
of gasoline with the "Six' and over 80 miles to
the gallon with the -Four"
As result of my investigation, | became con-
WINGED that Saxon would give customers more
real service and lasting satisfaction than many cars
selling for considerably more money-and for less
up-keep expense than many cars selling for less
money.

corning the quality and quantity of the they
proposed to build, not only this year and next year,
but for the next five years.
I found the Saxon Motor Car Company had
grown faster than any other automobile factory in
the business.
The first Saxon was shipped from the fac
tory March 1, 1914 and in the first eight months
6,915 Saxons built and placed in the hands of
owners
In the next eight months December /, 1914, to
July 81, 1879, with the Saxon Six" added to the
line 1888 cars were sold
In the next twelve months august T. 1915, to
August I, 1870, 6466 Saxon cars were delivered
to customers.
For the present 1867 season plans have been
made and contracts have been let for the produc-
ton of from $4,000 to 10000 Saxon cars
It took the Ford Motor Company six years be-
fore they were able to build and sell 10000 cars in
year, yet the Saxon Motor Car Company built
and sold 10000 cars the second eight months
they in business.
Surely, such record would be impossible un-
less Saxon were built right and giving salts
tory service.
found that units comprising Saxon cars were
secured from the best parts manufacturers in the
business each the recognized leader in their
particular speciality
Motors for both the "Saxon Six" and Saxon
Four are secured from the Continental Motor Com

motors in the world. who furnish motors for such
