reason which has been advanced to

been assured that the various makes of
cars will be the latest types of the
makers. In all probability the show
this season will reveal many novel de-
signs and features of construction, the
direct result of the war. This applies
especially to cars of the commercial
type. To meet the rigors of the battle
front army specifications and recon-
mendations called for many improve
ments and the strengthening of vari-
Gus parts of the chassis. 1t is likely
that many manufacturers will retain
these new features in the models to be
produced henceforth. One of these
things made obvious by use at the bat
tlefront was the necessity of accessi-
bility, making the matter of replace
ment of parts easier and quicker. In
fact. the war forced improvements in
design much faster than would have
been the case in peace times.

Automobile Show. Promises :.
To Be Full Up ON Exhibits
Inquiries for Space Both for Cars and Accessories
Coming in Good misunderstanding for Places
for First Week Will Take Place Next Saturday
at the Automobile Club of America

That the New York Automobile Show
to be held in Madison Square Garden
and the seth Regiment Armory, Febru-
airy l to Is, will be a success is assured
by the unusual demand for exhibition
space for both sections of the show
Since the announcement was made,
several weeks ago, that New York was
to have an automobile show for passen-
ger cars and trucks the office of the
Automobile Dealers Association. under
whose auspices the exhibitions will be
held this winter, has been receiving
mail and telephone inquiries asking
for reservations.
These are piling up so fast that it
now appears as if both buildings will
be filled to capacity with exhibits. The
drawing for spaces, however, will not
take place until next Saturday at the
Automobile Club of America. The
drawing will begin at 1920 a. M, and
only those concerns which are to ex-
hlblt passenger cars are to participate
IN 1T. The drawings for spaces for the
commercial vehicle display will take
place at the Automobile Club of Amer

Now Sales Manager
Advertising Counsellor Gets
Fully Into Company's EN-
ploy by Accepting Sales
Job-To Start New Year

L. J. Ollier, vice president and d.
rector of sales of the Studebaker Cor
roration has appointed Harry A. Biggs
advertising counsellor, general sales
manager of the automobile division.
Biggs has been figure in national
advertising for nearly a score of years,
beginning his career with the old
Hampton agency, of New York City,
and later establishing business of
his own that was absorbed, in 1909, by
Frank Seaman, Inc. Since that time
Blggs has been an executive of the
Seaman agency and one of the direc-
tors. In 1914 he established a branch
office for his company in Detroit which,
TWO years later, was moved to Chicago
to facilitate the work of serving a
rapidly growing Western clientele
Almost since the inception of the
industry he has been close student
OF the manufacturing and selling of
motor cars and power driven COM
merclal vehicles. The evolution of the
automobile from its noisy zone Hunger"
infancy to its present state of per
lection has been of unending interest
to Biggs. He followed the growth of
the industry, and is we'll posted on
the various phases of its DEVELOPMENT,
For the past six years he has served
as advertising counsellor to the sales
department of the Studebaker Corpora
ton, enjoying an unusually close per-
sonal association with the officials of
that company. This intimacy, unique
IN its relation between advertising
counsel and client, is best expressed
by the president in confirming the
news of his appointment.

DE Bear Sees No Reasons
For Price Reductions Now

experimenting all that has been
said in the past few weeks regarding
price reductions" said Harry J. De
Bear, manager Of the Maxwell Chal-
mers New York branch, at has been
both interesting and satisfying to no
tice the stimulus to our business that
has been brought about by the large
advertisements which appeared in last
weeks newspapers regarding the in
tention of both the Maxwell and Chal-
mers companies not only not to de-
crease the prices of their cars but to
give absolute guarantees of that fact
to every customer purchasing, cover
ing a period at least until June, 1919.
1.-The many arguments that have been
advanced in our advertisements as to
why it would be almost impossible for
us to reduce our prices under present
good faith by the public, evidenced by
the increased number of sales as a re-
suit.
"The fact that neither the materials
that go into the cars nor the labor
which produces them has been re-
duced one cent, nor show any indica-
ton of being reduced in the near fut-
ure, convincingly assures us that
there is absolutely no reason in the
world for a reduction in the prices Of
automobiles at this time.
"There is one satisfaction in the
minds of purchasers of Maxwell and
Chalmers cars under the prevailing
prices, and that is the companies
guarantees that these prices will not
be reduced between now and next sum
mer, and not even then unless condi-
tions in the labor and material mar
ket have been very greatly changed. 1t
should surely be very gratifying to
motor car purchasers to know that the
companies manufacturing these cars
are behind them, to the extent that
they have always. offered real, true
value in their products, even during
such stringent times as we have recent
ly experienced"
