HUPP AUTOMOBILES
 IN GREAT DEMAND
Month of July Showed Gain of B 1-3
 Per Cent Over 1915

That the demand for motor cars con- tinues is shown by the statement just made by the Hupp Motor Car corporation for the month of July. The Detroit con- cern showed another big increase in bus- ness for July with 33 1-3 per cent gain over July 1915. The statement bears added significance as July and August are considered the slack summer months in the motor car industry.
 The July statement of the big increase in business for the four-cylinder Hup- mobile follows the announcement made the first of July by President J. Walter Drake on the business done for the 1916 selling season which closed June 30. The statement showed an increase of 47.3 per for the year The July record also dem onstrates the good business judgment Of the Hupp officials in outlining their policy for the next 12 months. In his an- nouncement President J. Walter Drake said:
 ''Our faith Nin the future of a car of the Hupmobile typo is unlimited. We are adhering strictly to the four cylinder pra ctice. IH the Series IN" Hunmobiie we have developed a car, the public de- mand for which has greatly exceed our production capacity. We have no radical changes to announce with the start of the new selling season. although each series of 800 cars has contained such minor improvements as our engineering department has developed from time to time'

DODGE PERFORMS
 WONDERFUL FEATS

A strange coincidence occurred at the Dodge Brothers plant Thursday when letters were received in the same mail from Cape Town, South Africa, and Fairbanks, Alaska, each announc- ing a record breaking performance by a Dodge Brothers car.
 In South Africa, a Dodge Brothers car had climbed to the top of Pearl Rock mountain a mass that looms on the horizon of Cape Town. Almost since the day motoring began in Africa, Pearl Rocks peak has been the objec- tive of ambitious motorists. Failure after failure was recorded, but that did not deter others from attempts For several months a prize of $50 (S25O) has been posted for the first car mak- ing the ascent.
 A Dodge Brothers car owner con- ceived the idea that the money might be of some benefit to the martyrs of war, so he took the rocky trail. Tt will interest you to know" writes H. w. Alllxin, Dodge Brothers district representative in South Africa, that one of our standard model cars made the climb without difficulty on June A. The feat has been vouched for and certified by the editor of Motoring in South Africa The f5O will be turned over to the editor for distribu- tion among the war funds"
 The Alaskan feat was that of Grover Frame, who, in standard Dodge Brothers touring car, broke all records in a trip from Fairbanks to Chitna, Alaska. The time for the 360 miles was 46 hours, 30 minutes, including stops This is six hours less than ever accomplished before.

CHANDLER AGENCY
 GETS B|G BOOST
Lakewood, Fla, Man Tells of Trip in Chandler From
 Cleveland Home

Paul Crawford, local Chandler distribu- tor, received the following letter relative to the performance of this machine on a gruelling trip covering 1881 miles. The letter speaks for itself:
 Lakewood, Fla, s-6-16. MT. Paul Crawford, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir: l am enclosing identification sheet covering car purchased at the fac tory from you some weeks ago.
 1 would have written you sooner cover ing the trip, but the little car put her nose in Florida for the first time only this week, due to the flood conditions in this section.
 The total mileage covered on the trip including side trips, etc, was 1851. This made without adjustment of any kind, and without a puncture. Some of the rock roads in Kentucky were ter rible, so rough that the sides of the rims were bent back in some places by rocks, but the tires went through it all with perfect score, and I still have Cleveland air in all five tires
 Most of the trip from Montgomery to Lakewood was made in a sea of mud. The ruts were so deep that even the gasoline tank was dragged in the mud. However, the little Chandler didn't hesi- tate until we struck a stretch of quick sand in Covington county. We hit this like a monkey wrench hitting a barrel of molasses, and it took us just five hours to dig her out and build a board walk to the other side. The engine was subject to every kind of strain known to the automobile industry but she didn't miss a single shot. This is the first Chandler that I have ever owned, but the idea of taking a car that had only been made about 30 minutes and driving her 1900 miles across the conti- nent without a minutes trouble of any kind is enough to convince me of it's workmanship, durability and perfection.
 We left Cleveland the first day about 4 o'clock and drove to Mansfield, a dis tance of S5 miles for supper. The next day we drove to MaYsfield, Ky, 200 miles. We made good many stops ate about four meals and reached Maysville about 6 p. m. We got an early start from Maysville and ate supper at Nash vile, Tenn, at about 8 D. m. the third day, covering a distance of 309 miles. This was a pretty good days drive for an amateur and it was late the follow ing evening when we got out of Nash vile. However, we reeled off another 125 miles to Decatur, Ala. by sundown. Left Decatur about 8 a. m. the follow ing morning and reached Montgomery by supper time, PA miles. The flood struck us here and we were interned in Ala bama's capital for a week, finally mak- ing it to Andalusia, Ala, 100 miles south. When we reached here we were up against it. We found that we couldn't get five miles out of town in any di- rection, and the bridge over the river, on the road we came in on, washed out almost before the rear wheels had clear ed it. So all we could do was to put the car in a garage and wait a couple of days fnr tha train
 The car averaged F miles to the gal lon of gasoline.
 Thanking your company for the cour- tesies extended us while in Cleveland and with best wishes. Yours respect fully. E. B. RODWELL.

BROWNELL AUTO CO.
 WILL SELL FORDS
Blaine Brownell Announces the Signing of Agency
 for Another Year

Blaine Brownell president of the Brow nell Auto company, announced last night that his firm had been designated by the Ford Automobile company of Detroit as one of the local agents for Ford cars.
 We are delighted to announce to the public that we will continue to be one of the local distributors of the Ford cars in Birmingham, said MT. Brownell. "I wish to impress upon the public that the Brownell company will continue to give the same service that has been its policy during our five years in Birmingham. We will carry an ample supply of Ford parts at all times. Our service depart ment will be in charge of experts who can do all Ford repairing and adjusting in a satisfactory and quick manner"
 The Brownell Auto company were the first concern in the south to create de- mand for Fords. The record of this company during its five years of business in Birmingham is considered remarkable. In 1911 the first year of the Brownell company in Birmingham, 135 Fords were sold and delivered in Alabama. Previous to this time not more than 50 machines had been sold in Ala abama of this make. In 191 1922 hmtairftaihmtaihmt In 1912, 392 Fords were sold and delivered. In 1913, 1070 Fords were sold in the state In 1914, POO Fords were sold. In 1915, with only half of the state, 1700 Fords were sold. Up to date 800 Fords have been sold and delivered by the Brownell Auto company in Jefferson county.
 The Brownell organization is one of the finest in the city. The salesmen employed by this concern include John Tomlin Ray Bolton, Ted Brownell and Give Richard- son. That the previous record set by this company in the sale of Fords will be a basis for greater business in the future is the consensus of opinion among the Ford prospects and owners.

DETROIT MOTOR CO. WILL SELL LIBERTY
 SIX AUTOMOBILES
Manager Rush Moore Talks of Numerous Good Points Found in This Car
 Selling for S1090

Manager Rush Moore of the Detroit Motor company announced yesterday that his concern has signed for the agency of the Liberty Six. In addition to the Paige and Grant, at present handled by this agency, the Liberty will be sold.
 A car load of Liberty automobiles was received yesterday. The new machine is especially attractive in appearance as well as performance and price. The price of the car f. O. b. Detroit is S1095
 In speaking of the Liberty MT. Moore said: "It was after careful consideration and thought on our part before we finally decided to take on another machine to sell in Birmingham. The Liberty is one of the present model automobiles that will give man all the power speed and for at a medium price.
 The Liberty has 115-inch wheel base. Six cylinder, L head cast in bloc motor, Delco lighting and starting, extra light weight, the whole machine weighing 24OO This car is made by the Liberty Motor company of Detroit, which is considered one of the strongest automobile con cerns in that city today.
 service or the hlgneSt character will be maintained upon this car, just as the De- troit Motor company has always done We believe there will be a quick demand for this popular machine and have al- ready received numerous inquiries about it. One of the outstanding features of the Liberty is the careful detail in many little refinement not found in other cars selling around the same price. The finish is of the highest type, the front and rear seats have ample height to rest the oc- cupant's back instead of being low and uncomfortable.
 Simplicity has been the keynote of the engineers in designing this machine. Nothing is involved in the mechanism of the car that has not proven itself There is no experimenting with the cost on the public. The Liberty is a thoroughly built. high class, economical machine, and best of all, it sells at nominal price.

EMERSON MOTORS co.
 STARTS BIG FACTORY
First Plant Which Will Cost $25oo0o Will Erected at Once
 Capacity Will Be 100 Cars Per Day

tional space has been provided adjoining this first one for the building or a sec ond unit and still another later on, up to 10 units, each to produce 100 cars per day or a total of 100 complete automobiles every "A hours. As each unit is to cost $25o,O0o the total final cost of the 10 will be $2,5oo,0Oo.
 The idea of this unit production Is that the plants can be operated to their full capacity during the busy season and dur ing the slower months can be closed down one at a time, if necessary, in order to cut down expenses and produce motor cars on the most economical plan yet devised during 12 months in the year.
 It has also been planned and arrange ments are being made for a number of parts companies, to devote practically their entire facilities to making parts for the Emerson Motors company.
 The purchase of this land as site for the great Emerson motor plant was made from the Lockhart interests, who have owned the land for several years. The negotiation was made through MT. L., w. Flaunlacher of M. & L. Hess. Inc

PASSING THE BUCK ON THE
 FEWER ROUTE
By ALLEN J. KREBS, JR.

The long suffering, ever patient, auto- mobile people of Birmingham have at last come to the conclusion they are pay ing an exorbtant price for gasoline
 The mere fact that they have been pay ing high prices for this commodity for long while does not seem to dampen their ardor in trying to find out the truth about the present price. It is pass ing strange that four companies, each supposed to be an independent organiza- ton, each battling for the business of Birmingham, should never compete from a price standpoint. What a cinch it would be for a merchant in any line of business to never have to worry about the other fellow selling his goods at lower price, Then, the demand for whatever articles sold would be wholly governed by the supply and demand. There would be no necessity in urging the pubic to buy from any particuar store on account of fair prices. Instead, it would be good business policy for each man selling any, thing to the public to display a large banner bearing the slogan, You may as well buy here, the other fellow has the same prices"
 But this great. broad land of ours has not as yet assented to this method of do- ing business. When it does, the people, the masses, the goats may well lie down beside the lion and rest in peace.
 This gasoline business has sorely tried the patience of the public Rub a place on the body of man or beast long enough and it will become either sore or cal r,i,, reached the state of calousness as yet. All of which gives hope to an ultimate adjustment and a square deal.
 Lewis H. Hale, former manager of the Interstate Auto company of Atlanta, is now connected with Paul Crawford, local Chandler distributor. Hale IS live wire salesman of the modern school. He knows the automobile game backward and his success with the Chandler people is certainty.
 The Birmingham Motor company un- loaded carload of Dodges last week. They were sold within AS hours after arriving here. Some gang of speed boys with this concern.
 The appearance of the Liberty in Bir- mingham has created a sensation. This car will be handled by the Detroit Motor company. Rush Moore says there will be an unusual demand for this class of auto- mobile in Birmingham, and Rush gen. orally knows what he is talking about.
 Paul Crawford is in Mobile attending the opening of the J. R. Miller Auto com many. This company will handle the Chandler in that city.
 Charley Hawley of the Birmingham Motor company is fast becoming the mainstay salesman on Dodges. Charley is getting the orders for these cars as fast as they can be delivered.
 Sterling Edwards, Chevrolet distributor, has started out well. Several Chevrolets have been delivered by him this week and orders for more are on nle.
 The Newell Auto company received car load of Wintosn last week. Ed Blvlns says the outlook for big business is bet ter than ever.
 w. H. Young is back from Detroit. He says he had real party.
