Both of these men have had large
experience in the automobile field
to his best advantage.
Mr.. Dague, until recently, was con-
nected with the Harrisburg. Auto
Company. While talking to him last
night he was asked why he picked
the Chevrolet as a good selling prop
osition and why it was such prop

book of the workingman, the bust
nessman, and the man who is look
ing for a first-class touring car.
Isn't that reason enough for choosing
you that it has power to burn, is
mechanically as near perfect as the
experience of one of the largest au-
tomobile manufacturers can make it,
its riding quality is that of much
higher-priced cars, and its durability
can hardly be estimated. The prices
range from a little over $500 to
Look over the different models we
have on display and tell me if that
isn't a good selling proposition?
I'VE expect to do a large business
this summer on these cars. We are
going to conduct a service station
for the Advancement of the owners
interest. We will do all we can to
meet the demands of people for this
car. The only other proposition in
the automobile line that we are going
to handle is the Globe tire. We will
be the district distributors for this
tire.
THE Chevrolet is drawing a lot of
attention at the auto show, especial
ly the eight t-cylnder model. This car
is beautifully designed and very
strongly built. The price is a sur
prise to good many people who
think that it is a much higher-priced
car"

point of style and beauty 1t Is a new

The Bentz-Landis Auto Company
sells Nash cars, National and Mercer
cars, and the Atlas, Standard and
Nash trucks. They are carrying a
mighty good line, too. John A. Bentz
says that people everywhere like the
line so much that they pay good
money to the firm, for their cars.
Proud of New Car
e. w. Shenk is very proud of the
new Franklin. He has good reason to
be proud of 1t. 1t is q car in which

Do you know r. NJ. Dague? You're
missing something if you don't know
him. He's an Elk! He's u good scout.
He's the sort of chap who sits at
the head of the table, while his com
rades sing:
Hes a jolly good fellow"
And more than that, this r. NJ.
Dague has real taste, which he has
displayed in taking the agency for
the new Chevrolet. There are models
for every purse, models of every
class. And Dague told the people
about it so effectively and winningly
that he had a sale of a Chevrolet
Eight, two hours after the opening
of the show. A record?? You bet!
A Fine Display
A man rushed up to a. NJ. Kem-
merer, who sells Vim trucks for An
drew Redmond. 81 want one, and /
want it at once" he puffed, and
paused to catch his breath as KEN
merer looked him over. Sure, you
can have it, and have it at once" re-
turned the salesman. Kemmerer is
merry and gleeful. You see, he's sold
a large order of trucks in this past
week. It's a live salesman selling a
good truck. An irresistible combina-
ton.
Charles H. Barner is president OF
the Kiwanis Club. Further, he is
manager of the keystone Motor Car
Company. His display is one of the
finest on the floor. His efficient, ever
present statesmen have helped him
to sell four cars and a q. NJ. C.truck
during the show. That's another rec
ord! The firm sells Peerless, Chal-
mers and Dodge pleasure cars and
G. NJ. c. trucks.

business and knows how to sell it to

George p. Tillotson. the ever-pop7
ular typewriter man. rambled into
the show the other afternoon and
told q joke to one of the automobile
salesmen. That salesman's been
laughing ever since. Do you blame
him? Here's the joke, which Tillot-
son heard at a recent Rotary Club
luncheon:
"A dog rushed down Market street
the other day. People began running
and screaming. Finally someone
opened the door of Bowman's store
and the dog ran in. There's moth

explained when someone insisted 1t
was a mad dog. "Why that dog
merely needs muzzlin!"

National Auto Show
as Years Barometer

Those who look to the New York
Automobile Show as the barometer
of the years business are comment
ing on the showing made by the
Hudson Motor Car Company, the re-
tail sales of the Super-SiX exceeding
those of last year by so per cent?
Close observers have long recog-
nized the accuracy with which bus
mess conditions for the motorcar in
dustry are forecast by retail sales
1t the New York Automobile Show.
It-more than any other show in
tho country unless 1t be the show at
Boston held during the first week in
March-is a retail affair and occupies
but negligible attention so far as
dealer interest is concerned.
New cars and new models receive
their first introduction to the public
at New York. The attendance is
made up principally of persons con-
.eerned with the automobile trade
only as buyers and users. Any new
car, any new device. gets the great
est attention at New York. That
does not mean, however, that new
cars and new inventions receive the
buying support of the New York
public.
The New York show draws it's
patronage from approximately one
tenth of the population or the coun-
try. The crowds which surge into
Grand Central Palace are not as large
proportionate to the population of the
territory as attend some other shows.
But the individual buying interest
is far greater. The car which is
given the greatest buying attention
is the one that 1t is safe to conclude
will be the one which will receive
greatest patronage throughout the
following year and in all parts of
+he country.
This is the sixth successive year
that Hudson has led all cars in its
price class in actual retail sales at
the New York Automobile Show. The
largest number of retail sales for
any one show were made two years
ago when the Super-SiX was first an
nounced. The retail sales of the New
York Hudson distributor for himself
and his then two branches approxi-
mated 120 cars. and last year Hudson
did a surprisingly large business

Another Optimist.

The optimistic man had been elected
from his room by the irate landlady.
Out he went into the street, his be-
longings sailing after him. The white,
binding snow whirled In singing

and moaned through the trees and
wires.
The optimistic man sat him on his
trunk to listen to the complaint of the
elements and to consider where he
should go. He recalled bisterins

HEROISM OF SCOUT RESCUERS

While several boys were In swim
Knoxville, two of the number became
imperlled and cried for help. John
and Tauxe Yule, both of whom are
boy scouts, quickly responded to the
cries.
John Yule succeeded In reaching one
boy and bringing him to the shore.
Tauxe Yule went to Louis Hassells
assistance. He states that they went
down twice, but he was able to bring
the terror-stricken lad to the SURFACE
In both instances. and believed they
were safe, when young Hassell, again
frightened. threw his lower limbs
about his rescuer, and they went to
the bottom.
The splendid heroism and hazardIng
of their own lives. as exemplified by
the Yule brothers, was commended and
they did everything possible to save
their friend, himself much-beloved
boy.
Scout Executive J. M. Gore says
that Tauxe Yule would undoubtedly
have saved Hassell II the drowning
boy had not secured scissors lock, a
thing never before thought possible
when the rescuer had the life-saving
arm lock.
Tcuxe Yule is IN accomplished
swimmer and only week before had
saved boy from drowning In the

The army officials are very apprecia-

owners are glad to contribute vege-

In some instances they gather them
from the gardens, Ice them IL neces-
