HARPER OVERLAND
OPENS NEW HOME
Branch Agency Housed in
Splendid Building Of i.
Own.

The new salesrooms, service sta
ton, and executive building Of the
Harper-overland Company, at 1925
Connecticut avenue, are thrown oper
to the public for general inspection
in a grand opening today.
The building. but recently eomplet
ed will be the home of willys-KniEht
and Overland cars and probably IL
the largest branch agency Of its kind
south OF New York.
One grasps the magnitude Of the
building in looking over the archi.
tects' specifications which call for q
total floor space in excess of $4,000
square feet covering three fioors and
the storage basement.
The show room is sixty feet wide
on Connecticut avenue and eighty-fve
feet in depth. The electric lighting
fixtures are by Tiffany, and built on
the latest Gesign of diffused illumina-
ton experts.
Decorations are Flemish oak wood
work with gray cloth wall panels,
and at the left Of the main Moor q
Grecian marble stairway leads to the
upper floors.
Splendid Service Department.
The service department, on the first
door, extends the entire length of the
building, jutting of with the wing
to the service entrance on Eighteenth
street. That this particular branch
OF the business may be one of the
most expedient In the country, many
thousands Of dollars have been ex-
pended on new machinery which VIII
make it possible to render service to
any number of cars at once. To back
up the vital developments In the me-
chanical end OF this department, the
force has been almost doubled.
A tremendous storeroom will car
~ a complete line of parts, whose
value VIII never run under $3.50 at
any time, so that the motorist who
is in a hurry will not iif1d 1t nsces-
sary to wait long period of time for
longSdrawn factory correspondence
as was once the case In the automo-
bile industry.
To Give Dedication Banquet.
A banquet in dedication of the new
home will be given to members of
the Harper-overland Organization, in
GLIDING subdealers throughout the
South The festivities have been
booked for the Willard on Friday
night, and Ray Harper, president of
the company, has advices that K. r.
Jacoby. Overland service manager; II.
B. Harper, general sales manager:
Ray French. and H. II. Hover viii be
present.
There will be one other visitor,
yclept Friend" Of Ray Harper.
1t viii not be surprising to see the
incog. friend develop into the jovial,
fat person OF John N. himself.

CONSIDER REVENUE PLANS
Officials Take Up Proposed Duties
on Various Products.

Treasury Department officials have
under consideration duties on wool.
rubber and coffee and an increase of
the duty on sugar, as q means of
avoiding the threatened deficit of
the coming fiscal year. This deficit
il variously estimated at $3.50, OOO,-
600. by the Treasury Department and
$500, 100000 by members of Congress.
Wool. rubber and coffee are now on
the free list. The big volume Of i'm
portations of these products, 1t is
believed, would distribute the burden
of heavier taxation. 1t is not desired
to place the rates high enough to be
protective, but simply to levy tariffs
for revenue purposes.
Administration officials assert that
no return to the recent stamp taxes
Is contemplated is thought the I'M
popularity of this form Of taxation
was fully demonstrated in the emer-
gency revenue legislation adopted
soon after the war.
