CADILLAC DEALERS
 TOLD TO CONSERVE

The movement for the conservation of materials is receiving new impetus, so far as motor car materials are con cerned, from motor car manufacturers.
 The Cadillac Motor Car company has just issued a bulletin urging it's distributors and dealers to do every thing possible to assist in the conser- vation of steel, and asks that instruc- tiOns be passed on to shop foremen and workmen to cooperate in every way they can.
 In it's communication to the dealer organization, the company cites in stances of paying hardware prices for steel. It points out that when a car owner bends or dents a fender, it should be strengthened or the dents bumped out instead of thrown away and replaced with a new fender.
 There are many parts about a motor car, especially steel stampings. which are liable to damage by accident or misuse. and unless these are injured beyond all possibility of repair. it is suggested that they be restored to theil original condition, or as nearly to il as possible.
 l It is also suggested that dealers may have an accumulation of such parts replaced before the scarcity of mate rials became so pronounced, that could l be put into first class shape and useC again where replacement is an absolute necessity.

SMARTEST CREATION
 THE OLDSM0B|LE |S AWARDED 2ND PRIZE

This "Sportster," the smartest Olds- mobile creation, was awarded, the sec ond prize in the Fourth of July Inde- pendence day parade. The car was furnished by the Ferguson Keeler con- pany, local Oldsmobile dealers. and was driven by Mrs. Claude Wilson, and carried as its passenger Mrs. Claude Jones.
 That the car made a striking appear ance was the opinion of many all along the line of march, as evidenced by their words of praise and the clapping of hands According to the judges, the final selecting of the best decor ated car for the first prize was indeed a difficult matter, but inasmuch as the day was given over entirely to patriotism, the car of the marines was finally awarded the honors of the first prize.
 The Olds was tastefully trimmed with pink roses bursting in a cluster, high over the front of the radiator, from which was draped long stream CTS of pink and green fiber roping. A galaxy of dropping vines hung grace fully from either side of the windshield In the rear of the car was draped two large American flags, which added the proper timely touch. The car in all which was of deep maroon color, are forded an exquisite setting.

LEACH MOTOR C0 NAMES AS MANAGER
 W. H. P|NKER7ON

The Leach Motor Car company an nounces the resignation of E. P. Hughes as manager of it's Phoenix branch and the appointment of W. II. Pinkerton to the position.
 MT. Pinkerton is well fitted for this work, having been for several years secretary and reasurer of the "Duro- car Manufacturing company, which manufactured the Durocar automo- bile in Los Angeles. In this corpora ton he was fortunate in being asso- ciated with Watt L. Moreland, now president of the Moreland Motor Truck company of Los Angeles.
 After spending several years as manager of a large Mexican land com pany during the revolution, he re- turned to the United States and ac- cepted the position of credit man and business manager of the Garford Truck company in Los Angeles. and last December came to Phoenix to handle the credits and office for the Leach Motor Car company of this city. MT. Pinkerton is rather proud of the fact that not one payment on any contract for cars sold on deferred pay ments since he assumed this work in Phoenix has ever been delinquent 30 days, and no car has been taken from | the owner.

said his wire to Manager w. C. Hen dricks of the Chevrolet company at Spokane. Sure we will. but where are you going to get freight equipment tc move them in,' was the answer.
 Dulmage jumped over from Seattle to Spokane. and there he hit on a novel scheme. Half the population of the Inland Empire metropolis was talking about the races in Tacoma, July 4, where Cliff Durant, Earl Cooper, Eddie Pullen and other speed stars were to battle in a big race on the national holiday. So what was easier than to offer free transportation to the race fans, and at the same time have a driveaway of the needed cars.
 A little want ad" asking for men to drive cars from Spokane to Seattle brought seventy-two responses within two hours. Before night Hendricks and Dulmage signed up enough real drivers to move the entire caravan, and by the afternoon of July ? every Chev- rolet which started was in the Dull mage garage ready for delivery.
 The Spokane Seattle driveway is probably the hardest ever made, but in spite of this the Chevrolet arrived ir perfect shape. The distance between the two Washington cities is about 325 miles. and with two steep mountain ranges between. But little of the roaG is paved, yet at the end of the TUT the fifty drivers thanked Dulmage fol a great outing, as we'll as the saving oi quite a sum of money which otherwise would have been expended for railroad fares.

James Newton Gum, president or the United States Tire company, who. like other executives of his company, practices what ne breaches by using his car to the re- lief of the railroads when visiting the companys various plants, is the discoverer of a picture that is really an epic, and eloquent of the times.
 Back in the hills of Connecticut the tire man came across a. little roadside gasoline service station, picturesquely set in a hollow, the familiar red sentry" guarding neat structure, lonesomely standing with boarded windows and barred door. Placed squarely across the door was a service flag bearing a single star.

ANOTHER DULMAGE DOES DRNEAWAY
 STUNT IN NORTH

Driveaways among automobile deal CTS have been in force almost since the advent of the motor car industry, but it remained for W. $. Dumage, the leading machine dispenser in Seattle, to combine deliveries to his distributing station with a maximum of pleasure for ull concerned.
 Dulmage needed fifty cars in hurry. Fifty insistent patrons were clamoring for their Chevrolets. particularly since the biggest holiday of the year-July Fourth-was coming So it was up to the Seattle man to get busy.
 There was only one way for Dulmage to get cars. and that was through the Spokane warehouse of the Chevrolet Motor Company of California. Give me fifty cars for immediate delivery
