 HERE ID D0 QUICK WORK RKONMOTOR CAR

With curtailment in the manufac- ture of automobile parts, delays in transportation and other drawbacks due to present conditions, c E. Strom berg, manager of the Southern Motor company, 337 7-341 West Washington street, has installed in his service de- partment an oXy -acetylene welding plant to take care of Phoenix and the surrounding country.
 Service parts are hard to get" said MT. Stromberg. "The factories are short and it takes time to get such parts from the factory. The plant just installed is capable of welding any thing made of metal. If part of an automobile, tractor or truck breaks, no matter how old it is, if it is possible to repair it we can do the work at our plant.
 We feel that the plant will be of great value to the people of this terri tory. For instance, should a tractor wheel break right in the midst of a blowing job, the owner would be great ly put out if he had to wait until an- other wheel could come from the fac tory. On the other hand, he could bring the wheel to us and we would have it repaired within very short llI1le, anu llle plOWluS, III consequence, would not be materially interfered with.'
 Selling Force Increased | MT. Stromberg has increased his selling force by the appointment of D. S. Ledbetter, formerly of the White company of the Pacific coast. Mir Ledbetter is handling the business in the northern Arizona territory, where | nv no n trucks, is in great demand. MT. Led better, who makes his headquarters ln Prescott, reports a remarkably good business in the sale of Republic trucks in northern Arizona. Harry Hunter special representative for the Southern Motor company in the southern part o1 Arizona, also repotrs splendid business MT. Stromberg supplements the two statements with the announcement that he is able>to sell all the Republic trucks he can get from the factory.

ported yesterday, that there was a eood demand for his automoDIes.
 One of the cars of Hudsons was disposed of at Clarkdale and the other at Prescott.
 Upon his return from the north MT. Messner announced that within the next two or three weeks he would re- ceive from the factory an Essex dem onstrator car. The Essex is a new car, which has been in the process of design and construction for about two years.
 The Essex is made at the Hudson factory and has nearly all the fea- lures of the Hudson, but it is lighter in weight and cheaper in price than the older car. The demonstrator com ing, MT. Messner says, will weigh, fully equipped, about 2,5O0 pounds. He says he will be ready to make deliv- cries of the new Essex in September, that he has placed with the factory an order for 30 of the Essex cars each month. This will make one for every day in the month for an in

definite period. MT. Messner said he would have no trouble in disposing of all the Essex cars shipped to him.
 This is truly a wonderful little car," said MT. Messner. Don't take it from me, but ask any of those who know about it. When the demonstra- tor gets here I am sure the people of Phoenix will see something in auto piles that will delight them. It will be an improvement that will win the attention of everybody familiar with motor cars''
 The Essex has the same crank shaft as the Hudson, but the design of the engine is different, an engine made for a smaller car with maxi mum amount of power.

RALPH DEPALMA NEXT CHAMP P|0N
 SAY SPEED MEN

That Ralph De Palma bids fair to be the champion automobile race driver of the year is the opinion of speed ex- perts who saw him win the 1OO- mile Liberty handicap on the Cincinnati speedway July A.
 The famous Italians victory on In dependence Day marked the second lO0-mile event he has won in three starts this year. The first was at New York in the postponed Memorial day races. At Chicago. spark plug troubles put him out of the running early in the race.
 Thus the record now stands, with DePalma having two 100-mile events 10 his credit this season and Chevro- let one. The next clash between these two great rivals promises to be a thriller.
 Though De Palma did not win at Chicago, his Packard showed wonder full speed It made the fastest lap during the 100-mile race at better than no miles an hour. In addition to this honor. it hung up as an added attrac- tion the fastest lap ever made around this track, in 1:02:41, an average Of 115.3 miles an hour. This broke the two-year- r-old Chicago record estab- lished by De Resta of 1892 miles an hour, and establishes a new mark in this country over any track for cars of like piston displacement.
 At 120- 0-Mile Rate
 Track officials who have watched De Palma work out in practice say that his Packard Twin Six has made the two-mile circuit at the rate of 12C miles an hour. But De Palma is not relying on speed alone to win his races. Excessive speed is what tears tires to pieces in a very short time Thus. it has been De Palma's problem 10 set pace for himself that kept him in touch with the leaders and still saved his tires for the final spurt tC victory. He states that when the time comes to cut loose he can rely on thf reserve power of his Packard airplane motor. De Palma has a perfect tire record for this seasons racing, whict he attributes in part to the design o1 his car plus the smooth action of his Twin Six engine. His latest victory at Cincinnati indicates a car whict matches his ability as driver and that he has hit upon the right combination of speed and skill to beat the jin1 which seems always lowering at his elbow
