Liberty Car I aiken On
By Owen Magnetic
Sales Company

Several circumstances of decided
interest feature the announcement
just made that the Liberty Six is to
be handled in New York and sur
rounding territory by the Owen Mag
netic Motor Sales Corporation, at
Fifty-seventh Street and Broadway
First of all is the grouping of de
luxe small six-cylinder car of the
gear transmission type with the Ia
nous Owen Magnetic transmission
automobile, both cars appealing to
persons who like fine work and good
performance in the respective fields.
Second is that the Liberty car is
also in one sense an "Owen product"
Percy Owen, president of the Liberty
Motor Car Company, is, however, not
related to r. M. Owen, who heads the
Owen Magnetic Motor Car Company,
save for the name. Percy Owen has
the distinction of being the only
president of motor car company
who is also a New Yorker, and New
York is therefore a peculiarly in
teresting field to him. When Colonial
Motors, Inc. former representative Of
the Liberty here, was dissolved be-
cause John F. Plummer, it's president,
entered the service OF the govern
ment, Mr.. (Liberty) Owen made a
careful investigation of the field to
secure continued high grade repre-
sentation of the Liberty car.
S. Partridge, president of the sales
manager, handling the Owen Mag
netic. Percy Owen and Joseph f.
Fields, sales manager of the Liberty,
were Immediately impressed with the
organization gathered together by Mr.
Partridge. 1t did not take long to
conclude an arrangement that the
Owen Magnetic Motor Sales Corpora
ton should handle the Liberty auto
mobile.
When Mr.. Plummer took up the
sale Of the Liberty car two years ago,
he was interested in it because it was
q high grade small automobile. He
had always been associated with
quality cars, although larger than the
continue to sell high grade cars to
the class of owners he dealt with
formerly. Naturally again, the own
er list of the Liberty to-day is made
up of people of the same standing as
those who have Owen Magnetic and
other high grade cars.
Representation of the Liberty by
the Owen Magnetic Motor Sales Cor
poration it is expected will achieve
even more than was done before for
the Liberty because the organization
under the leadership Of Mr.. Part
ridge and Mr.. Titus has considerably
above the average in sales drive and
energy to say nothing of Mr.. Part
ridges long experience on Broadway.
Percy Owen was certain from the be-
ginning that the high grade clientele
already represented among Liberty
owners would be exccllently served by
this local organization. AS a former
New Yorker, Percy Owen has long
been acquainted with Mr.. Partridge,
who is a real veteran of metropolitan
motor car business. In his new asso-
citation he is acting as a hyphen be-
tween the Owens. !: is thus sort Of
Owen Partridge Owen combination that
stands behind the Liberty car in New
York City.
Harry Stephens, William J. Setter,
Walter Ramsey and Leo Beck, of the
Colonial Motors organization, will con-
tinue to be connected with the sale
OF Liberty cars as members of the

Maxwell Manager Finds
Conditions Cheerful

Harry j. De Bear, manager of the
Maxwell New York branch, is not
only optimistic about general bust
ness conditions, but is convinced
that we are passing through that
inevitable period Of readjustrent
characte ristic of war times.
ut is more than gratifying" said
Mr.. De Bear, "to be able to report
that our sales for the past month
have not only been exceptionally
good, but that they have surpassed a
good many months of normal times
This particularly holds good with
trucks, which helps prove that gen.
eral commerce has come to realize
that motor transportation in every
branch and industry is prominent
factor.
"The most convincing example Of
the general use to which motor cars
and trucks can be put was given in
the recent Liberty Loan, Red Cross,
War Saving Stamps and other drives.
They never could in the world have
been put over with such success with
out the aid of motor conveyances.
Cars not only conveyed speakers and
other workers from place to place
with alacrity and speed. but reached
places that would have been other
wise inaccessible"
A condition which was of material
assistance to Mr.. De Baer was the abil-
ity to make immediate deliveries Of
both passenger cars and trucks.

London, June 24-According to
earlier dispatches received in London
this morning the Austrians had left
1000 men to defend the Montello
spur and these fell into the hands Of
the victors.
1t was not expected there would be
great captures of Austrian guns as
because Of the flooded river, the en-
envy had not been able to transfer
many Of his big guns acros the
stream.
T. These earlier advices also indicat-
ed that a rapid advance by the Ital-
ians must not be expected, as the
Austrians had some twenty divisions
in reserve which was a formidable
force to reckon with. and it was
thought probable there would> be
strenuous Austrian resistance at the
bridge heads on the left bank of the
Piave which were well fortified.
However, it was pointed out.
should the cavalry which General
Diaz has thrown across the river, sue
coed in outfanking these bridge
heads the task OF forging ahead
would be considerably less difncult.

would launch an attack around the

their countcr-ofensive which has
driven the Austrians across the Pave,
is announced in an official cablegram
received today by the Italian en-
bassy from Rome.
Offensive operations by our troops

after violent artillery preparations
that destroyed all bridges except one,
the infantry drove forward with ir-
resistible impetus. The flooded Piave
contains thousands of enemy ,corpses.
Divisions which had passed the Piave
were decimated by our artillery and
infantry"
"Montello was attacked in three
columns. Enemy lines were broken
at Celia Della Madonna and Nefvesa
and re-occupied. From Maserada to
Sardona. the Au%strians first resisted
our attacks desperately but finally
: were forced to retreat to the left
bank. Battle continues fiercely in the
Sardona sector. Forty-f1ve thousand
prisons and enormous booty captured
by Italians"
American airmen displayed great
bravery in the first encounters. Lieu
tenant Young, attacked by " Aus
rian chasers, was obliged<to land on

The Germans are said to be thor

with a ha~lf-starved and riotous peo-
pie. in the event Of a complete Aus
