The organizing of the Alabama Au- tomobile Dealers association in Mont gomery last Monday was one of the biggest strokes for the benefit of all who own automobiles that has ever been pulled off in this state The as sociation will undoubtedly be a big success and accrue to the benefit Of everyone concerned. Much credit should be given to the untiring energy Of Hubert Drennen and Red Smith in their efforts to get the dealers of the state together.
 The continuation of exorbitant taxes, license fees and many other things that the automobile public has suffered for many years will be put to an end. Ev- eryone who does not belong to the as sociation at the present time, and IS in the automobile business, should ges busy and wake up. Red Smith is talk ing applications and any recognized automobile dealer is eligible.
 The Exchange hotel treated the boys as well as any other hostelry in the United States could and their excel lent treatment was appreciated by all who registered for the convention.
 EaCtOrY representatives, II rum liC AoA- lowing automobile manufacturers were on hand to enjoy the festivities; Chev- rolet. Oldsmobile, Overland, Cadillac, White. Buick, Hudson, Dodge, Mitchell, Maxwell and Hupp. They were live crowd and many of them had thelr eyes opened when they entered the ex- hibit hall devoted to the Montgomery automobile show.
