Kinloch Andrews is the name of an
exceptionally clever and hustling au-
tomobile man who has the local agency
for Warner automobile lens. Andrews
is located at 121 South Twenty-flrst
street. He is Georgian of the high
est type and has made numerous
friends since coming to Birmingham
few weeks ago. The Warner lens is a
device for the equal distribution OF

giving a glare that tends to blind the
driver of an approaching machine these
lenses soften the glow and enable cars
equipped with Warner lenses to pass
one another without the attendant
glare that is usual with ordinary auto
mobile lights.
