SHOW ADS IMPETUS
 TO AUTO SALES

The Eabhitt- Poison company is highly elated over the results of the Phoenix Auto show. Not only did the exhibit result in stimulating interest in the various makes of machines handled by this concern. but it also resulted in adding considerable impetus to the sale of cars, according to M. L. Rurk- head sales manager of the company.
 While we did not succeed in estab- fishing a record for the number of sales during the show. We have no reason to complain" said MT. Burk- head yesterday And since the show, we have noticed tremendous gain in our sales dena' tTnent Of course the show is largely responsible for this added activity in motordom.
 Our sales this week have been much better than we had dared to anticipate Of course we realized that q certain amount of interest and enthusiasm in autos would follow in the wake of the show, but our anticipations have been surpassed many fold
 Activities at the Babbitt- Poison company have Teen strenuous the past week and have been divided between unloading several carloads of machines and signing contracts for new cars IL is expected that present interest in autos will continue for several days, possibly weeks.

sUPE.R9IX WINS
 SPEED CONTEST

Milwaukee county is in the market at the present time for two automo- piles for the sheriff's office. The cars they were considering are the Mar mon. Pathfinder "12," Ross "S," Mac Farland e." Packard +'12" and the Premier, also the Hudson Super Six
 The points that they gave most con- sideration were quick pickup and speed. It was arranged to have all of these cars meet at the county jail at two o'clock on the afternoon of Feb ruary Fist to hold a contest.
 This contest was held on the Grand avenue viaduct. which is about 1900 feet long. The cars were to race in pairs from standing start. The Su- per-Six and Marmon were matched for the first race. Both cars carried six
 passengers. The Hudson won this
 contest very easily, showing better than sixty miles per hour at the other end of the viaduct. The Ross 'S'' then
 eliminated the Premier, showing maximum speed Of forty-nine miles an hour The Maximum speed for the Premier was forty-four miles per hour. The Hudson Super-Six then eliminated the Ross 'S," again show ing better than sixty miles per hour.
 The Pathfinder then eliminated the Mcfarland. showing a maximum speed of fifty-four miles an hour The Super-Six eliminated the Pathfinder at Sixty miles an hour. Then the Super Six eliminated the Jackson at a speed of sixty miles an hour.
 This eliminated all cars, and crowned the Super-Six queen of the l speedway regardless of price.
 It was hard for the Marmon people to realize that their speed demond had been defeated, and they requested an other chance which was gladly granted them. This time the Super-Six got two to three lengths the worst of the start, due to the fact that we had eight cross links pulled out of our chains and the wheels kept slipping. This handicapped us, but was not enough for them, as the Super-SiX passed them before they had gone a quarter of the distance, with perfect ease. and pulled up a winner by at least three-quarters of block, going better than sixty miles an hour.
 The Super-Six negotiated the same distance from a standing start with four passengers, and showed better than sixty-five miles per hour at the finish tape. In fact, we so far out classed everything in acceleration and speed that the contest was almost a joke The Packard Twin Six refused to take part in the contest. The Ca dillac "S" was also on the grounds, and was invited to take part, but refused.
 The Super-Six was strictly a stock model without a change of any de- scription, having the stock gear ratio of four and five-elevenths to one.
