JACK SMITH
 AT HEAD IF
 HEW AGENCY

A new concern. which will be known as the AriZ n2 Steam Motors company, will be located on North Central ave rue in the near futu,e and will handle steam automobiles of the latest type. Jack smith is at the head of the com pany as president and general man. ager.
 Mr Sn,ith has just recently returned from a trip to the factory in the east ano while there received the distrib- uting contract for one of the popular steam cars which consists of the en- tire state of Arizona.
 he neaa of the neW concern is of the opinion that the internal comhus- tion engine has just about reached it's highest stage of efficiency, inasmuch as he claims that economical feature in the use Of kerosene for fuel purposes not only makes the steam car 100 per cent efficient, but that the cost cf lde. is considerably cheaper
 According to estimates compiled by experts ir the employment of the steam car company with which MT. Smith has associated himself the car will do 15 miles to the gallon of kerosene. How ever, the feature of the car which makes it better than previous steam ca~s is the fact that oil is circulated with the water through the boiler, thus preventing corrosion of the boiler An other feature is the condensinS system by which water is u,cc over and over again
 Although permanent quarters for the concern have not been selected, 1t is expected that a definite decision in this regard will be reached before the arrival of the carload Of new steam cars in the next couple Of weeks. MT. smith is temporarily located at PIT North Central avenue.
