ELABORATE SALON PLANS.
Great Showing of Foreign Cars Is
Assuerd.

The plans for this years salon exhi-
bition at the Commodore indicate a par
ticularly strong showing of the famous
cars of France, England and Italy. the
importation OF which was prevented for
six years by the war. Such we'll known
makes as the Rolls-Royce, Sunbeam,
Renault, Delage and Lancia will be on
hand in models that embody the hard
won experience of the struggle.
On these chassis will be displayed
coach work by leading body builders Ru-
bay. Fleetwood. Brooks-Ostruk. Barker,
Brewster and Holbrook are some Of the
firms that will present their latest crea-
tons. Many Innovations and novelties
may be expected. new body lines and
finishes, new ideas in cushions, uphol-
stery and fabrics, new devices for the
comfort and convenience of passengers.
No attempt is made in the salon TO
bring together huge number of vehi-
Giles. The policy. as in the fourteen pre-
ceding annual exhibitions. is rather TO
select from the worlds leading producers
their finest cars and to group them in
surroundings that permit of leisurely in
spection. The grand ballroom of the

versation with P. ]. Merrick, service
manager OF Stern Brothers, New York,
casually learned that one OF their
White delivery trucks which runs daily
between New York and Long Branch had
been equipped on Memorial Day in May
of this year with Michelin cord tires,
which to date-October 1-are still CIV
ing good service.
The distance between New York and
Long Branch Is forty-seven miles The
present record of those tires, therefore,
Is $500 miles.
Speaking OF tire records 1t Is amazing
how few service departments of our
large business houses keep systematic,
accurate records of tire mileage and tire
upkeep. And of those who do, how very
few have taken the trouble to analyze
the records kept. The reading of the
figures need not be too scientifically
cold blooded to cause you to change your
contracts on the difference of a few
digits. But you ought to know what you
are getting for your money, and any big
difference ought to make you sit up and
take notice.
MY advice to service managers in
charge of large business house garages
is to make the records section mean
something After all, 1t is the user Of tires
and not the seller who can render a truth
full account of tire performance. And this
is what the public needs more than a
thousand advertising claims of superla-
tive merit. Besides, every reputable adj
vertiser welcomes check on his wares

the engine and the vacuum tank and
carburetor on the left hand~side which
gives the very high factor of safety
to the assembly. The emergency brake
Is on the back end of the Transmission,
thereby reducing working parts with ac-
companying noise and rattle and insur-
Ing always an even and positive break
ing effort. For $45 extra the engine is
equipped with a Bosch magnetic.
Another important detail is found In
the heavier front springs that eliminate
the pitching" often found in ears of
comparatively short wheel base. A
silent chain is used also instead OF
timing gears, which Is provided with
an adjustment on the outside OF the
chain housing. so that any stretch may
be overcome in five minutes.
Those who have Inspected the car
thoroughly have been impressed by the
seating room and the luggage capacity
OF the roadster. This car will seat three
and accommodate dress suitcases and
other paraphernalia under the rear deck,
out Of reach Of dust and rain. Access is
gained through an opening in the rear
deck. directly behind the seat. thus
eliminating the necessity of getting out
of the car to handle the storing of the
baggage.
Manager Hunnewell Is demonstrating
these cars by appointment every day
and reports that those who have ridden
in them are even more enthusiastic over
the way they operate at all speeds than
they are in all the details that make
them such good cars.

Automobile buyers in Guatemala are
not so much concerned about engine

ton OF the letter, which was in Span
ish, follows
Among the complete details 1t is i'm
portant TO know the dimensions of the
cars. These must be particularly as
follows: the total length from end to
end. the total width from side to side
and the height of the car.
The importance of this question is
due to the fact that private persons here
do not use garages. but put their cars
into the halls of their houses. There
fore it is necessary to know the sizes
of the cars, to find out whether they
could easily enter into these halls.
IF the cars are too wide for the halls

up one of the strongest distributing or
CARNATIONS that the tire industry has
known.
In 1917 the Racine Rubber Company
merged with the Ajax Rubber Company
and McClaren was made president and
general manager of both companies
Here the same sensational growth and
development followed his other connec-
tons, and in a short time the business
of the combined corporations had grown
more than $50 per cent.
The report of the change in name to
McClaren Rubber Company is indicative
of the development and expansion which
Is to follow. McClaren has surrounded
himself with a factory organization of
skilled tire builders, who have grown
3p in the big tire companies of the coun-
try. He has picked out experts to man
age the factory and construction depart
ments of the business in order to give
the motoring public the highest quality
and grade of tires on the market.
OF particular Importance to the trade
Is the further announcement that distri-
ubtion will be made through distributors
in the leading cities. These distributors
will be placed at the most advantageous
points in the country. so that the Nc
Claren brand of tires will enjoy a ma
tionwide distribution.
Already many factory additions have
been made to the parent plant at Char
lotte, for an extensive programme has
been laid out that will call for an ac-
tive expansion of business New equip

EXTRA SALES FORCE
FOR ESSEX CARS
And a Special Salesroom Too
to Handle Big Business
Developing.

OF all the new cars brought out in the
medium priced field since the close of the
war none have proved more successful
than the Essex.
Since its New York debut, which was
made on. January 16 of this year. over
1000 Essex cars have been sold in the
metropolitan district in less than nine
months. and President Harry S. Houpt
Of the Hudson Motor Car Company of
New York expects to sell double that
number within the next twelve months.
In order to take care of this tremen-
dous number OF cars and to handle this
unusual situation in a more adequate
manner President Houpt announces that
he has organized an entirely separate
and distinct retail sales force to handle
the sale of Essex cars. Not only this
but he has also decided to separate the
Hudson and Essex salesrooms, cut
through the southerly part of his Broad
way salesroom and devote that end of
the room to the sale of Essex cars ex-
clusively. while the northern end of the
store and northerly entrance will lead
into the Hudson salesroom.
The retail sale of Essex cars will be
in charge of +. w. Lorentz, formerly
branch manager of the Jordan in New
York, assisted by w. G. Spencer, ]. b.
Bleecker and Vincent A. Schott, for
merry with the local Oldsmobile selling
force In addition the services Of w. l..
Losee, one of the Paige company's star
statesmen, and two other statesmen yet to
be named have also been obtained
The entire Essex and Hudson sales
organization, however, will be under the
same general management as heretofore.
While the sale of Essex cars will be
handled by separate sales force, the
Essex statesmen will be backed in their
efforts by the entire Hudson organiza-
ton, and purchasers of Essex cars will
also have the benefit of the wonderful
Hudson service station in West Sixty
eighth street, which is one of the most
complete Of its kind in the city.
In order to take care Of the rapidly
increasing demand for both Hudson and
Essex cars there has also been created
a special department to be utilized for
intensified sales and follow up letters to
prospective customers which will be in
charge Of Ralph w. Knox, formerly ad-
yertising manager of the Columbia
Graphophone Company.
The new salesroom and organization
will probably be in full working order
early in November.
