NEWELLS AGENTS
FOR DAMN INSERT
To Sell the Shock Abs0rber
in States of Alabama and
Mississippi

Announcement was made yesterday that
the agency for the Damn Insert in Ala
bama and Mississippi had been awarded
to the Newell Automobile and Tire COM
pany. A factory representative of the
Damn Insert was in Birmingham last
week for the purpose OF securing agents,
and the announcement was made yester-
day afternoon. The Damn Insert is d
springless shock absorber, which works
on scientific principle that never fails.
Oswald Newell of the Newell Automo-
bile and Tire company said last night
that it was a source of great satisfaction
to him that his company had been Sc
lected to sell the Damn Insert in Alabama
and Mississippi.
I'VE propose to get this really wonder
full shock absorber into every city and
town in the two states,'' said Mr.. New
ell "It consists of series of leaves,
which are made to fit between the springs
of any make of automobile, and these
leaves take all the road jars and jolts,
which are the annoyance of all motor
lists. 1t relieves the strain at an i'm
portant point in the car and is an ac-
cessory which few owners will be with
out once they learn of it's advantages.
1t has the further advantage of never
requiring OIL 1t is absolutely oilless, yet
1t works with the minimum of friction

PAIGE CAR IS GREAT
SAYS RUSH MOORE
New Fairfield Model Is Re-
ceived by Detroit Motor
Car Company

Rush Moore, of the Detroit Motor Car
company, is as proud of the new Fair
field Si-46 Paige car as could be the en-
gineer of the Paige factory. He says
there is no car on the market that can
approach 1t for appearance, for comfort,
for speed, for endurance, for "roada-
bility.''
I'VE have just received good shipment
Of the new Fairfield" said Mr.. Moore
last week, land the people of Birming-
ham have been so busy looking it over
that we haven't had time to do anything
but talk about the Fairfield. OF course,
we do not believe there is any more in
teresting subject, and are immensely
pleased to find that a large portion of the
public feels as we do about it.
THE demand for the new series Fair
field Of the Paige factory is SO great
that we are in doubt as to when other
shipments can come forward but we will
try and keep a demonstration in our sales
rooms. The flexibility, the power and en-
durance, together with the unusual ap-
pearance of the Paige are prime factors
in its popularity, but when a car gets
so popular that a fellow don't have time
to take his rest, l am in favor of doing
something to it to reduce the popularity

ANDERSON SPEAKS
! ON COOPERATION
Hupp Manager Says Service
Is Broader Conception
of Cooperation

| Lee Anderson, commercial manager of
the Hupp Motor Car corporation, spoke
| on "Co-operation' before the world $
salesmen's congress in Detroit. Stating
that cooperation as applied to the trav-
cling salesman has three aspects, flrss,
between the salesman and the house; sec
ond, between the salesman and his Gus
, toner, and third, between one salesman
and another. Mr.. Anderson continued:
1T is now generally accepted that the
biggest fool in business is the man who
fools himself into the belief that he can
be anything but square with the people
to whom he sells his goods. The golden
rule goes in business even stronger than
it does in morals. religion or ethics.
But there is a broader phase of the CO.
operation between the salesman and his
customer than merely not being dishon-
est or too sharp in ones dealings And
this broader cooperation is-service."

In u great state in the Far West, one

pay better than crubs So tho breed

IS still practiced ON this farm.
There are a great many lessons Wa
could learn from this Oregon poultry
raiser but only ono will be mentioned
in this article. and that is the poultry
buildings. The houses described are
for layiGn hens only. Tho breeding
pens are similarly constructed. but
are not SO large. since fewer hens are
kept together.
While the poultry-houses on this
farm are no, expensive, they are
