by some Of the worlds most famous
drivers
The new home Of these well known
cars is now one Of the handsomest and
best equipped establishments in the city.
A g. Kaufman, president of the cor
poration, spared no expense to get the
best. And even before he had a suit
able setting he made sure that the closed
cars for the grand opening represented
the latest and very best practices of
the leading body builders. Every car
Is not only beautiful in line but COM
plete In appointments that minister to
the convenience and comfort Of its pas
sengers. The color schemes inside and
out are the work of real artists.
For long time Mr.. Kaufman has
wanted to make the Fifty-seventh street
corner, which Is one of the best loca-
lions In the city, an unusual automobile
headquarters. When increased business
necessitated the acquiring Of greater
show space he hit upon the novel plan

derland. Florists and special decorators
put on the finishing touches yesterday.
Mr.. Kaufman 10 a well known figure
on the row. Before entering the auto
years ago he was a successful cigar
manufacturer and owned several fac
tories. In 1908 he began importing
Peugeot cars while still manufacturing
cigars. Later he retired from the cigar
business and devoted all his time to
automobiles. In 1913 he took up auto
mobile racing and brought the first
French drivers over here to handle his
Peugeot cars. These cars have won
more frst prizes than any other make

initial entry In the Indianapolis 500
mile race in 1913 with a victory.
Mr., Kaufman opened his first show
room in the building he now occupies.
He has handled Premier cars since 1915
and has been the Fiat distributor here
for some time.
Commenting on conditions relating to
the sale Of automobiles, Mr. Kaufman
said;

in the future by the outlay have made

greatest sale OF automobiles during the
next three years and do not believe II
will be possible during that period for
manufacturers to catch up to the de-
mand. The demand vs. growing by leaps

SWITZERLAND NEW
MOTOR WONDERLAND
Many Fine New Roads Recent
ly Have Been Opened to
Automobiles.

Switzerland. former partially for
hidden paradise to automobilists has
opened many Alpine roads hitherto
closed to automobiles, and the little Hell
vetian republic. which can boast of some
of the best constructed scenic highways
leading across the mountain passes is
thus on the threshold of a new era.
Like her neighbors. Switzerland be-
longs to the Association Of International
Triptyques. permitting the motorist to
pass the frontier OF any country which
Is a member thereof without payment OF
duty. One part Of the triptyque is re-
tanned by the frontier customs house
when the car enters foreign country,
another is retained by the frontier place
where the car leaves country and the
third part must be duly stamped and
signed by the customs officials at the
place OF entry and exit and Is retained
by the motorist as evidence that the
car has left the country In question.
The triptyque represents cash bond
which the association puts up for its
members. The money deposited may be
collected upon presentation Of the third
part OF the triptyque.
Motorists can enter northwestern
Switzerland from France. for instance,
and proceed gradually from the lower
valleys to the region OF the Alps in one
continuous route without retracing their
steps. A tentative itinerary could. for
instance. read as follows:
Basic, follow the Rhine to Neuhausen

the famous Axenstrasse and proceed to

Long service from the soles means
lowered shoe costs, for that is where
shoes wear out quickest. When next
you need new shoes buy them with
Neolin Soles. You pay no more than
for shoes that give less wear-and
YOU can get them in many styles for
