of the Smith-Trew Motor Company.
Wallace c. Hood, an old Washingtonian
but now of Detroit has organized the
Wallace c. Hood Service Bureau In De-
troit The idea is to look after the in
terest of its customers by acting as their
representatives in dealings with the vari-
GUS mOtor-car companies. They will also
look after the shipments of cars for Gus
toners. hustling them along when pos
sible. Wallace Hood has had much ex-
ing been sales manager of three differ
ent automobile companies.
In connection with the Made-in- Balti-
more Exposition, to be held September s
to % at the Fifth Regiment Armory,
there will be an automobile accessory
show. At the annual automobile show
there is no room for the accessory display
and this time has been selected by them
for their display.
How much the Arrangement Of lesser
features can be made to contribute to
the greater comfort Of those driving and
riding In a motor car is shown in the
Cadillac Eight. These details are some-
times considered to be of minor impor-
tance. Yet in several instances the Cad
lilac designers, by intellgently handling
these features, have made them real ele-
ments in adding to the convenience Of
driver and passengers.
Auxiliary tonneau seats in the Cadillac
Eight. for example. occupy absolutely
no space when not in actual use. When
folded. they disappear entirely into pock-
cts in the back of the front seat which
presents a smooth surface. Entrance and
exit are not impeded in the slightest, and
the passengers in the rear have use Of
all the tonneau space. The auxiliary
seats, both when folded and when in
place. present nothing which is apt to
catch and tear women's and childrens 8
clothing At night a small electric light
in the back of the front seat illuminates
the curb side of the tonneau entrance
Storm curtains are carried in neat
pockets on the under side Of the top.
They are permanently attached to the
top. always ready for use. When re-
leased. they fall into place as they are
to be attached. and this is readily done
without leaving the car to sort out cur
tains in a downpour Of rain, and with
out disturbing the passengers to tumble
under the seats for the curtains, L.
Another one of the innovations inaug-
urated BY She Cadillac is to be seen in
its steering wheel. Instead of the con-
ventionaI type attached rigidly in posi-
ton, the Cadillac steering wheel is
hinged to swing out of the way. This
permits entrance and exit at either right
or left side of the car, as the control
levers are SO positioned that they do not
obstruct the passage from one side OF the
car to the other. This hinged steering
wheel is also a boon to tho corpulent
driver, who can take his seat comfort.
ably without squeezing himself, and then
raise the wheel to normal position
Among the several gauges, meters etc
now in use. the speedometer is one which
should be easily and quickly read. The
Cadillac speed indicator Is set in the in.
strument board directly in line with the
drivers vision SO that he can see II with.
