AUTO DEALERS
CAMPAIGN IS ON
Agents of Tri- Cities Are to Observe
"0peD House, During the
Present Week.
HAVE ATTRACTIVE DISPLAYS
This Drive to Supplement Annual
Show ut COliseum-Space is
Found Inadequate.

The spring drive for automobile
sales was started today by dealers
of the tri-cities.
In place of the annual auto show,
which has been held at the Coli
scum in Davenport in the past, the
dealers have arranged an open
house." which will continue all of
this week A concerted advertis-
ing campaign is on to further the
plans. The space available at the
Coliseum is found to be inadequate
for the great number of new mod
els to be exhibited, and for this rea-
son the dealers will be forced to
hold a show ''all of their own" at
their respective places of business.
The dealers are working hand in
hand to make this drive a success.
OF course there will be the usual
competition for sales; but 1t will be
a friendly competition.
When a prospective buyer calls
on a certain dealer this dealer will
display the good points of his
wares, then take the buyer in one
of his machines to the next dealer.
In this manner a demonstration
can also be had on the way.
Decorate Stores.
The Tri-City Auto Trades asso-
citation, of which practically every
dealer in the three cities is a mem
Der, is behind the campaign. Every
dealer has arranged for special
display for the week, and many of
the show windows have been at
tractiyely decorated for the occa-
sion.

retary-treasurer of the Tri-City

the Democrats of Rock Island

for he is the right man for this
particular job. In addition to that,
he takes a keen interest in COM

THE demand made upon us for
laborers, by the factories of the
three cities, including the Rock Is
land arsenal and those factories en-
gagged in war work, is very great at
the present time and we are able
to fill only a small portion of those
desired. In common labor, there is
also a very great demand for labor
ers for construction work. The
large contracts now being carried
out on the Rock Island arsenal, to-
gether with other large cOnstruc-
tive Jobs, public improvements and
general spring activities is making
a demand upon US which we are,
only in a small measure, able to
supply.

All doubt as to the fast condition
Billy George and Gordon Mckay, well

battle, are in, was removed when they
worked out before a number OF the
faithful in Nick Collins gymnasium
Monday afternoon. They will be ready
to go from gong to gong when they
meet for the first time In this city.
Promoter Collins has placed tickets
for the athletic card on sale and judg-
ing from the demand being made for
them, there will be a heavy advance
sale.
George and Mckay will be very
evenly matched. Both are old ring
sters and understand all inside" work.
They have the ability to drive In hard
punches and never fail to take advan-
tage of an opening. While Mckay is
probably faster than George when it
comes to ring maneuvering. the Mid
vale "bearcat" likes to get into close
quarters with an opponent and will
always be found pressing him while
they are settling their argument.
