bYRNS-RA FIRM
 STRONG STATEWIDE
 MOTOR DEALERSH|P

Bob" Byrns and B. NJ. Ray, owners of the Byrns-Ray Automobile com pany, of Phoenix. Tucson, Globe, Doug las and Kingman. and distributors of the Cadillac, Rec and White Cars have established themselves in the automo- bile industry of this state firmly since they acquired the agencies for these cars several months ago. The main office of the firm is in Tucson. The branch officers are scattered through the state, with the chief branch in this city.
 The White truck, one of the banner lines of the firm, is said to do about sixty per cent of the heavy hauling in this state. Uncle Sam is using the same truck for his work on the border and in Mexico. He has a large number of the trucks plying between Columbus, N NJ . and the base where Pershings troops are holding their ground. The oil companies of the United States are using them to navigate the almost i'm passible roads of the mountainous dis tTicts One company alone has a fleet of more than 200 tankers distributing oil over great area. Several of these tankers have been placed in this state nv illt t3INllS- tNdA dStIltlcS.
 The cars which the ByrnsR Ray agen- cies are handling are so well known to the motoring public that it is not neces- sary to introduce them formally. The demand for the White pleasure cars and for the Rec, while not equal to the de- mand for Cadillacs, is remarkable. Orders for the Cadillac are far in ad. vance of the supply, chiefly because of the alck of transportation facilities, and because of the increasing of al lotments late in the season.
 Although the company have been al- lotted Sonora and part of Chihuahua, Mexico, as a part of their territotry. during the past few years they have been doing little aggressive business in these districts The revolutions of the several Mexican governments have prohibited their entering the fields be- low the border with an active sales campaign. They have. however dis posed of many cars to residents of these states who have come to Arizona or who live at points near the internation- al line
 Manager Mclean. of the Phoenix branch, is confident of d large business in Phoenix for the coming year. His business during the past year has been all that could have been expected. Trade conditions have been prosperous and healthy, and during the past two months have grown in size and possi- blities. The outlook, he declares, for the coming twelve months is more than bright

Spokesman Review.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-17

"The great crime of the late gov ernment consisted of throwing the country into complete Reorganization and subjecting it to the hardest trials. This state of affairs might even have had dangerous effects upon the issue of the war. The increase of popular discontent was the cause of, the turn which events have taken. The anger of the people was such that the Rus sian revolution was almost the short est and most bloodless in history.
 seThe late government was complete ly isolated. which confirms the fact that no one had confidence in it. The great events of the last few days make it possible for the people to gain fresh confidence. These events will in crease popular enthusiasm and multi ply the national forces. giving them at last power to win the war.
