each other and in the matter of sales
seems to actuate the automobiles fra
| ternity of Pensacola This spirit is re-
sponsibie for the fast growing impor-
lance of the city in the motor world
and should result in the formation of
strong automobile club. Such an
organization is needed and would re-
suit in untold good, If made broad
enough as to include garage and &C
cessory men. The automobile has done
more to advance the cause or goou
roads than any other agency ana
, members of an automobile dealers club
naturally work every day for better
highways. There is no question about
the desire to own a car the only handi-
cap is a place to drive. Then again
Pensacola is of enough Importance TO
stage a real automobile show before
the spring is well advanced. Febru-
airy or March would be ideal, as the
local show could follow these staged
by New York. Chicago and other larg-
er cities. Many Of the factories could
be induced to send show cars direct
from the automobile style centers. An
automobile show is a business propo-
sition for the showing and sale of cars
and if properly conducted brings di-
rect results. Jacksonville has held two
shows, both of which resulted in the
sale of many cars and attracted the
factory experts who not only gave
useful information but spent several
days in the city and livened things up
in general. Jacksonville hasn't a build
ing large enough in which to hold an
automobile show but this was over
come by erecting temporary struc-
ture which met all requirements. Such
a building could be put up here.
Hustle is the watchword of the Har-
rington Motor company During the
week they received several cars direct /
from the factory and p. d. Tebault
went right out and sold them. He
takes especial pride in the arrival of a
Maxwell truck. the first of its kind
to reach Pensacola. The Harrington
company handles Maxwells. Chalmers,
velie and Page cars and Maxwell and
Vim trucks.
The Comet arrived on time. Refer |
ance is made to the Comet Six, be-
ing shown by The Central Garage. |
Fred Schad is so enthused over the
Comet that his friends accuse him of
star gazing. The new car has good
lines which indicate latent power and
service. 1t has attracted it's full quota
of attention since it's arrival.
Received again, gone again, Oak |
land describes the car load of ma
chimes handled by The United Auto
Sales company during the week. No
sooner were the Oaklands on the
ground than they We're snapped up.
The United people have car load of
Co6 ltonc -
most any day. H. J. Quina is wide
awake and being equipped with a self
starter keeps up in the automobile
parade.
C. P. Rowan of the Standard Motor
Car company is enthusiastic over the
Mitchell and Nash six. Being well To-
Gated on Palafox street he declares
that many out of town automobiles
arrive in Pensacola each day and more
would come if the roads were better.
He believes that the lateral roads in
Escambia county should be second to
none in the state and the sooner this
is done the better.
"SeIl your hammer and buy a horn"
and keep hustling is the motto of d. |
der. NJ. Scarritt who has the local
agency for The hudson super Six
and The Essex. He is alive to local |
conditions and when he receives cars |
he goes right out and sells them. He |
reports a steady growing demand for |
better cars.
Buick service is the one point that |
S. H. Fried always emphasizes. He |
declares that when a person purchases |
a car from The Pensacola Buick COM |
pany that he becomes client of the /
Buick organization and is well looked |
after without additional expense. He !
expects another shipment of Bucks in |
soon.
G. H. Hayes just murmers Dodge |
and everyone knows what he means. I
He is fortunate in having the agency /
of a car which has proven SO popular |
wherever introduced and especially in
Florida. He also disposes of his quota /
of Hups and Franklins. Speaking of
Franklins. the write once had the
pleasure of a twenty-four hour joy
ride in a Franklin travelling on low
all the time without a stop during
the entire twenty-four hours. Of
course, it was test but highly /
successful one. The car was travel
