An automobile salesman was telling story at one of the local hotels about policeman in the east who arrested the driver of Quick Tire Service company for speeding. It happened that the call came from a doctor who was to make an emergency call. He had a puncture and phoned for service which he was get ting The policeman delayed the driver SO long that the doctor called for an- other service wagon. The second service wagon came in a hurry put the doctor was delayed so that his emergency call was made in vain. It happened that the doctors visit was made to the home of the policeman who arrested the driver of the service wagon. A child accidently swallowed some poisonous substance which needed prompt attention of phy- scan. The result was the child died.
 Service wagons are for the one purpose of keeping automobiles rolling. Every owner of an automobile runs it either for pleasure or business. You never can es- innate the good the speeding tire service wagons mean in any city. They are op- erated for the soul purpose of convenience and there should be some exception to their speeding to emergency calls with out delay. Accidents very seldom are caused from good chauffeurs like those who drive such wagons. They occur from incompetent and reckless drivers who know little of the mechanical features of motor cars.

LIBERTY SIX HAS
 RECORD SALES
Dealers Throughout COun- try Short of Cars Due
 to Popularity

It was expected that the motor car business would experience a revival with the coming of the spring months, but very few of the men engaged in it anticipated any such landslide of business as was started by the various automobile shows.
 The business done during the following the shows was phenomenal Reports sant to the factory by the distributors of the
 Liberty Motor Car company, for instance,
 indicate a demand for their moderate weight six that established new prece- dents for the company, and indeed would have been considered remarkable by any manufacturer in the most prosperous former show seasons.
 In If automobile shows held at var-
 ous points, nine Liberty distributors re
 ported the sale of every car in stock. At San Francisco Louisville and Detroit the l dealers hold all the cars they had and rushed orders to the factory for more.
 Every car in stock sold and prospects trough to sell twice as many more,' wired the Newark, N. J.. distributor. News from 1 other cities, including St. Louis. Mime apois, Kansas City, Cleveland. Portland and Seattle, in every case gave evidence of the same sort of unvarying big busi-
 ness.
 | According to the New York city distrih- utor, The show simply made business.
 The public began to buy the first day
 of the show and is still at it. In the lat

.R. |. DURANT BUYS NO. , STUFF RACER Eddie Hearne to Drive Car in the S50,000 Liberty
 Sweepstakes

Word has just come from California that R. c. Durant, son of w. O. Durant, president of one of the largest automo- bile corporations in the country, has purchased the famous No. , Stutz racer and has contracted with Eddie Hearne as the pilot. This announcement Will undoubtedly result in the return of the worlds champion Stutz to the Indianap- oils Liberty Sweepstakes race May 31, says Paw Perkins of the Perkins Motor company, local dealer.
 It is said by western enthusiasts that this famous old car will be dis guised under another name than Stutz but it will be the same old No. that make it's debut on the Indianapolis motor speedway in 1915. A little tinkle of a rumor comes hot on the heels or the announced purchase of the Stutz that an attempt will be made to carry to victory on the radiator of this car the name of well known medium . priced automobile, but al this time this rumor has not been confirmed
 Local race officials for the 5O0 -mlle liberty sweepstakes May 31 at In
 dianapofis believe that Durant Will enter the revamped Stutz al lndianapo . lis as it has been intimated that iiearne will campaign this car over the country this season.
 The Indianapolis officials naturally feel that purse of s50,000 will be too tempting to Eddie and his mount to be overlooked, especially as Hearne know:

a very well-to-do woman, was asked if she did not want to buy another car. She wouldn't think of it, she said, because it didn't seem right to ride around in luxurious new car during such a terrible period. She had a son in France, and she wanted to use her money for other pur- poses, for something that would help the soldiers. That woman bought the car absolutely without solicitation during the show Her boy was home again. Other boys were home. One could look into the future with some idea of what to expect
 The big change in the course of events stimulated her to buy, but it was the show that actually caused her to sign the order because it indicated to her that business had been resumed on large scale and, that it was time for her to place
 her order. We took orders right and left
 and the buying spirit is still running

 It is said that no one car ever built, American or foreign has ever equaled the record of Stutz No. ,. The car was built in 1914 for the 1915 racing season and made its debut on the In- dianapolis speedway in 1915, when 1t finished in third place in the race held there. At Chicago in the same year the car copped sixth place with Gil Ander- son driving. These two races were only a fair start for what was to come.
 In 1915 the car won first and second place in the two races held at Ergin, Gil Anderson was driving. The same driver nosed the buggy into seconc place at Minneapolis the same year Anderson was just one second behind another Stutz driven by Earl Cooper, At Sheephead Bay speedway in 1915 Anderson won first place with the car establishing a record of 10S miles pei hour for 300 and $50 miles. This rec ord has never been equaled Another Stutz. driven by Rooney, finished 3l seconds after the winner. Rooney also averaged 10S miles per hour for the same distance. At Chicago in 1916 the car won first place with Cooper at the wheel. The average speed was l0S miles per hour for 250 miles.
 This famous racer has been in many events in which it made a good ac' count of itself and it is claimed that 1t never failed to finish any race, eN- cept through accident. Will No. Stuts repeat at Indianapolis May 31? It will says Paw Perkins.

ONE-A FORD

Someone asked Earl Ford salesman ager for the Cruse Crawford Manufac turing company, why the newspapers al ways talked about "one-a day Ford? Mr. Ford politely explained the reason was contracts were made for 365 Re public trucks to be sold in the Birming- ham district and to date we have al ready been selling on the April allotment. We have got to average one truck day the year around, and if we must state facts most of our orders come in from Republic users who have tested them for their power and durability. The Republic Motor company of Alma, Mich. Is the largest builder of motor trucks, says Mr. Ford. There are not any warehouses hlled with trucks neither; it is hard for the distributors to get deliveries on time. Mr. Ford has installed one of the best sytems for mechanical service carry ing a stock of over $35,000 of parts and employing sufficient amount of expert mechanics.

OVERLANDS GOING

Al Watkins, salesman with the Over land Motor company, stated that the de- mand for Overlands are growing fast that the factory cannot produce suffi- cient cars for the Overland dealers. 1t is that way with the Overland demand in Birmingham, says MT. Watkins. We cannot supply cars at all times. We eX- pect several cars in this week and those who are in the market for this popular car should not loose any time in placing their order, says Mir. Watkins. The new model Overlands are among the most attractive and comfortable cars on the market this season.

strong-n fact, we are having the most unusual month we ever had"
 Although the continuous increase in sales has been a severe test of the fac tory organization ability to resume pro- duction on a big scale after having been on war basis, up to the present time Liberty dealers have been able to supply cars to their buyers promptly. But with the constant growth in the demand for this car, there is no certainty that such a happy condition will continue indefin- itely and it would certainly be to the in- terest of anyone who proposes to buy a Liberty Six to place an early order.
