REQ FABRICATION
 GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Greatest Single Improvement i
 Decade, Says Sales Manager

"So much favorable criticism has been given the lubricating system of the new Rec Six, and that such a warm recep- tion has been given the model itself, that l feel less reluctant to say few words concerning the excellence than 1 did at first, as I preferred to wait and watch the uninvited attention that I was sure the public would bestow upon this new creation,' stated F. H. Akers, sales man ager for the Rec Motor Car company
 After all is said and done, the pub lie is the real motor car connoisseur endless experiments may be made with new models, endurance tests conducted for months or even years-inspections made at regular intervals and all of that, which usually precedes a new in- novation to that degree where it is pro- Eounced perfect by the manufacturer. Yet if there is a weak point in it's con struction it doesn't take the public long to determine the seriousness of it all.
 We pride ourselves on the complete and thorough method of fabrication in this new Six, which has been received and pronounced by the public as being as near perfect in design and function as it is possible to incorporate in a motor car today Unreservedly they have re- ferred to this mechanical feature as one that will be widely copied in the future.
 Space and time will not permit me to dwell long on the numerous advan- tages of this important feature, but suf- flee it to say that, by this system every moving part-even spring joints-n1ay be quickly, easily and certainly fabricated and without soiling your hands or cloths. firmly believe this to be the greatest single improvement made in motor cars in a decade"

Superiority of
 American Magnetos

The reliability of a magneto is de- termined by it's form of construction and the material ana labor put into it. The efficiency of magneto depends upon it's electrical design.
 In this respect the fnagnetos made by the American manufacturers have a world-wi reputation representing the highest type of workmanship, and are recognized throughout the world as unequalled for electrical efficiency.
 The continuous Tn ,-worry" and eff flcient service they render. is worth more than they cost.
 Ask the man who has operated an engine with American magneto igni- ton for his opinion-genera1ly the remark is T wouldn't have anything else l oil the magneto and forget it."
 When choosing new car it is well to know that many of the best cars are providing for optional ignition so that purchaser may have his prefer ence.

) YEARS IN PEN TO. TAKE STOLEN AUTO
 TO ANOTHER STATE

''The Dryer bill. providing a s5000 fine or five year imprisonment or both, for taking stolen cars or trucks from one state to another. has become a federal law" says William Meseroll, of the Meserol Sales and Service com tributors.
 That this law will materially lessen the evil of interstate traffic in stolen cars. is a foregone conclusion, provided automobile dealers and owners cooper ate. not only with each other, but with the law as we'll as the judges be- fore whom the criminals are tried.
 Tt won't take many imprisonments of offenders to show that the public is in earnest and that stealing a motor car is as bad crime as stealing any other article. necessary or otherwise"

LIBERTY SHARES SALES FLOOR
 WITH AIRPLANE
Canadian Training Planes Are Represented By En- terprising Motor Car
 Distributors

The selling of aeroplanes in conjunction with the marketing of Liberty automo- biles is the distinctly modern business of Frank Bishop, Liberty distributor at St. Louis. who has just taken the rep resentation of the Curtis-Canadian bi- planes for the St. Louis district.
 Mir Bishop believes in the commercial future of the airplane The plane he represents is the regular Curtis-made military, three-passenger, double-controL "Canuck' machines used extensively for training purposes by the Canadian army during the war. The machine has a wind span of 45 feet inches, V-type, eight-cylinder, water-cooled motor. weighs 1600 pounds and sells for S5250.
 The agency has brought MT. Bishop a great deal of publicity besides the inter est aroused by the display of one of the planes in his showroom window. But this is not all. St. Louisans have also craned their necks almost to the snap ping point to read Liberty Six" adver- tising which stared at them from the sides of the first commercial airplane to be marketed in their city.
 An aerodrorne on a 3o0-acre tract on the outskirts of St. Louis is now being ar ranged for and regular passenger 'joy ride flights at S25 ride will be sched- ufed soon. Mir. Bishop states that he has already received 50 applications from former pilots in the American air ser vice who are willing to leave civilian positions to accept positions as aViators. In order that he may be able to recom- mend "chauffeurs" to plane purchasers, Bishop intends to make good use of these applications.
 Through their Scandinavian representa- tives, arrangements have been completed by the Liberty Motor Car company for the Liberty car to be exhibited at the American Norwegian exposition soon to be held at Christiania, Norway. Liberty cars have already become very popular expected that great deal of interest will be shown in this car during the exposition.
 The Trenton Auto Sales company, Lib erty dealers at Trenton, N. J., boasts an automobile "saeswoman" and owners certify the belief that Miss Beatrice Joel is well qualified for her duties, since she is both an expert motor car driver and mechanic. Recently Miss Joel drove Liberty car from Cleveland to Trenton, a distance of 800 miles, as an accommo- dation to one of her customers, who could not wait for regular freight deliv- cry.

AMERICAN TOBACCO
 TOO FINE FOR HIM

by RsSOciateu fFbS Paris, October 10--The opinion of the average French smoker is that the gov ernment will not readily dispose of the billion packages of American cigarettes and enormous quantity of smoking to- bacco bought of the American expedition ary force.
 He admits that both cigarettes and to- bacco are prepared with greater finish that the quality may be finer, but he has the habit of the old French brand of tobacco which is coarser, stronger and produces a far more disagreeable odor and he wants no other.
 The French brand, however, is scarce It is distributed to the tobacco shops but once a week, in limited quantities, and rather than accept the American substitute the French smoker gets out early and stands in line patiently for two hours in the hope of refilling his pouch
 Sometimes he goes away disappointed, the supply having given out before his turn came, but rarely does he accept the American substitute which is not to his taste, and, moreover, is twice as costly.
