conspicuous principally by its failure to

monltion that food saving is a virtue.
Twenty minutes later the waiter was
startled out of his reverie by a sharp
rapping with a spoon against the side
of his coffee cup by the important ap-

extra allowance OF sugar. glancins con-

The order was issued by b. s. Harvey

GRAHAM BROS. GO.
IN LARGER STORE
Increased Business Makes This
Interesting Move Necessary
for This Concern.

One OF the pleasant surprises Of the
motor trade Is the rapid and steady
progress made by +. Il. valpey and w.
o. Crabtree. the directing heads of the
Graham Bros. Sales Company of New
York.
The increase in business has made It
necessary for this firm to seek consid-
erably larger quarters at 1890 Broad
way. The new show room Is the largest
occupied by any truck dealer in New
York and Is Ideally proportional for
diversified truck display. One OF the
innovations the firm Is introducing is
a new lighting system for night dis
play, employing extremely powerful
flood" lights, which give an illumina-
ton second only to sun light.
Speaking for the firm, which con-
trolls not only Graham Bros. truck
builders. but Bethlehem trucks as well.
for Connecticut, New York State as
far as Albany. and New Jersey. with
more than 100 sub-agents under their
management, Mr. Valpey says their
progress has established n record in
the Graham Bros. factory in spite O!
the fact they have been In business
only a year and half. The factory
by the way. produced more than foo, 900
truck builders last year and will turn
out more than 200. 900 this year includ-

Scheu, Eastern sales manager OF the
King Motor Car Company and man
ager of the local distributing organlza-

There are plenty OF cars in New
York for immediate delivery and the
wise prospects should buy them before
the prices 60 higher. 1t Is a mistake
for anybody to think prices are likely
to drop on account of news from the
battle front. Even IN the event OF a
speedy peace prices would go up be-
cause they would be governed entirely
by the law of supply and demand.
THE thing TO do Is to buy now be-
cause prices will be higher before they

The primary consideration in this de-

the Colt-Stratton Company has yet to
