Following the complete and satis factory demonstration of the work O. the WintOn Six motor car through e
 six months sruelling triai on the stage road between Douglas and the Warren district, and following the de- cisiOn Of the Motor Transit company, agents for the Winton, to enter the { field actively for Jlfe sale of this car. it has been announced in the Warren district that erection of a new home for the company. in which it will have the most spacious and beautiful lis
 play rooms in southern Arizona, will Immediately begin in Douglas. The building which will cost with other ira- prOvements nearly S30,000 will be lO- cated on G avenue and Twelfth street, one of the most central corners in LhS Border City.
 The new home of the Motor Transit
 company will be erected by Willard Haymore, and will be of concrete and brick construction, two stories high.
 The front will be Of fifty feet and the building will be 155 feet deep. The entire first floor will be devoted to the business of the Winton sales 0eCDle. In addition to the sales head quarters the lower floor will accom- wodate also the office of the Wnton Six Douelas-Bisbee stage. Other ex- elusive state agencies beside the Win ton are now being negotiated by the Winton people. and it is possible they will add several lines of pleasure ye- ! 'icles to their stock soon.
 With the announcement of the
 brand hing out Of the Motor Transit ! company comes to the district also the announcement that D. C. ONeill. who in the past few years has made
 sn enviable a record as manager of
 the Gadsden hotel at Douglas, will
 ake over the active management of the affairs of the Winton people, de-
 voting all his time to the business. Mr | ''Neill is now in Phoenix. where, as a
 member of the house of represents
 i'es of this stete, he is serving in the special session. called by the gov,
 ernor fo. the consideration of war
 measures. When he returns he will immediately assume control of the
 Motor Transit company affairs, push | 'ng them actively.
 The Motor Transit Company is
 owned and controlled principally by
 MT. O'Neil, Hugh M. Gallagher. of
 Bisbee, NJ. |. Cassidy, of Bisbee, and
 Gene Stewart of Douglas.
 During the past eight months Win | ton stages have been in constant or i eratiCn or the Douglas Bisbee high
 way. Each day a half-dozen of the | stages give one of the hardest and most trying demonstrations which
 cars may be called on to deliver. Eiglt ! Q fthe big machines have been used | at all times and at the end of theiI | long test they are in as good condi-
 ton as on the first day they started on
 heir 4O.0G0 miles journey which they
 have now completed. The cars ara | called on to cover at least 1900 miles
 each month. During that time they | 1re busy from eight to twelve hours
 7arh day. They are put through all
 sorts or weather, and over one of the
 rardes, roads of the southwest for
 stage tIaffic-rcads which are cut and
 scared, and which will shake to pieces
 in a few brief weeks cars which are
 'ct made for the work.
 Based on this demonstration, the
 Motor Transit company have come to
 the conclusion that they have in the Winloi machine which will stand
 my test which may be offered. a ma chine which is full of value for the money and a motor car which gives wear. tear east comfort and mileage
 on gas and tires. They are so firm ly convinced that they have decided to enter the field actively for greater
 sales end larger business in not only
 Cochise county, but the entire state of Arizona.
