Says Show Stimulates Bust
ness and He Wants
It. Held Much
Earlier.

Whether the fact that the motor
car shows were held, little later
this year than in former seasons
played any part in making them the
biggest in point OF actual sales in
the history Of the industry is caus-
ing some discussion among motor
car men these days" asserts Carl
Changstrom of the Standard Motor
Car company.
I'm the opinion of the Allen dis
tributor the sales stimulus was. not
due so much to the time of the ex-
hibits as to the general business sit
uation in the country, coupled with
the mild weather, which the east
aid middle west especially have en-
joyed.
Personally, would like to see
the dates of the motor car shows re-
turn another year to their former
times" he says. Il do not believe
that the difference in sales shown
this year was dependent pu.
change of dates. and l do feel that
both dealer and patron gain big
advantage by having the shows as
soon after the first of January as
possible, because of the time that is
given to looks over the new models
and the general features of various
motor cars before the real spriag

Auto Thief Proves
Endurance of Essex

"a peep behind the scenes at the
almost miraculous industrial prog
ress made in Detroit, the automobile
center of the world, during the last
few months would amaze the army
of buyers who are now impatiently
awaiting the delivery Of their cars"
said Guy L. Smith, Hudson dealer.
ITO realize conditions it must be
remembered that the production OF
automobiles had almost stopped six
months ago, when suddenly the ban
was lifted. The result was that a
period of reconstruction was neces-
sary before the production of pas
senger cars could return to normal.
While this has not yet been accom-
plished, still the number of cars
turned out is increasing each day,
and by June | production is expect
ed to be in full swing.
"Thc facts accomplished during
the period of preparation, however,
form one of the most notable pages
in the history of American industry.
Facilities which had been placed at
the disposal of the government had
to be shifted back to a peace basis
almost without warning"

VeIie Wins When People
Are Judges Of the Cars

Richmond, Va, April 19-After a
wild race over 80 miles of the worst
roads in Virginia, an Essex car be-
longing to M. 6. Nuckols was, left
burned in a mud hole by an auto
mobile thief.
The motor had been run so hot
that motormeter was broken, and.
before abandoning the car, the thief
had stripped it of all accessories,
taking evep the battery. When the
mud had been partly removed, after
the car had been rescued by team
of horses, a set of dry batteries was
connected up and the engine started
at once, running smoothly except
for broken spark plug. which ne
cessitated making the return trip bn
three cylinders.
: "The return performance sur
prised me beyond words" said Mr..
Nuckels THE little car simply
buried its nose in the mud and
pulled like a team of mules. We
passed several cars stuck in places
where the Essex came through
without difficulty. And when the
new spark plug was put in after
reaching Richmond, the car ran
perfectly"

Nearly all the world over Mitchell Skies
have won success and fame.
Now, after is years of car building, they
completely revise all existing standards
They bring in many specialists, and devote
two years to creating anew-type Six.
They work out more than 100 i'm
prouements. They add 500 to the
strength, 1870 to endurance, 25% to
economy, 2O% to comfort and beauty.
So this Six today presents scores Of SUI
premacies, at price below every rival.
Don't you realize that such a car is bound
to be the first choice in this class?
