British Air Force Headquarters In
France.-There have been many signs
recently Of extreme uneaslness by the
German high command regarding the
increasing ascendancy Of the allied air
men on the western front. This has
been especially evident since the Amer
lean airmen have begun to appear In
force and have proved themselves Of
the same mettle as the French and
British flyers.
Perhaps the most striking evidence
OF German official anxiety regarding
the allied superiority In the air Is to be
found In the official German wireless
news. In an effort TO cOunteract the
depressing effect Of the real facts Of
the situation, the German wireless ed
itors make the widest statements, bor-
dering almost on humor.
Thus a recent copy OF the German
wireless report says: Superior meth

Think OF 1t! Carload of DAVIS Cars Sold Within
"a Hours After They Arrived In Richmond?

The Davis is new car to Richmond, yet in
the twenty four hours that elapsed after they
arrived in the city and were put on display at
our showrooms, they were sold out. We are
sure that this is the most remarkable record
and it fully bears out our statements that the
paws is car that will take Richmond by
storm. A car that will quickly convince any
prospective buyer that it's merits are unmatch-
able in any other car at the same price. How
ever, Mr.. Rawlings says that he will get six
cars every week by rail, and that he will be able
to meet the demand, no matter how great.
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1918-07-07

Davis cars are remarkable for the facts that
they have Continental motors, will give II
miles to the gallon, will take Broad Street hill
on high and afford 5000 miles on tires besides
being luxuriously appointed and individually
made in every way, giving each buyer the same
advantages that he would get were he to order
the car made expressly for him. In fact, when
you have seen the Davis you will wonder how
so much value can be given for the price. Come
and look before you buy-you will be glad you
did.
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1918-07-07

Don't let the fact that the Davis is new car
to Richmond influence you in the least. Don't
let your mind be made up without seeing it.
because the Davis is a car that will meet with
all your expectations, and then some, while the
prices, which are lower than for other cars of
