other successful clubs throughout the
country.
The automobile dealers did not want
the club as a personal proposition
they had no idea Of retaining its o
troll or management. They simply felt
Il to be their duty 20 launch the club,
and then, when it had become estab-
lished firmly, 10 turn the management
over TO the members-citizens, Tor the
greater welfare OF the community.
In the organization the Memphis Au-
tomobile club differed from many other
movements launched in this city. Ii
was not founded upon frenzy, nor capt.
tAlized enthusiasm, No widespread
campaign for membership was carried
forth.
The organizers were Of the opinion
that a certain few hundred OF our eiti-
ems were sufficiently interested In any
movement which might mean a better
ment Of conditions, to wager the small
amount Of the annual fee In favor Of
It's success. The great masses would
be attracted later solely on the basis
of service rendered.
TIE Memphis Automobile club, nov
but three months old, has thus pro-
crossed and Is progressing. It's growth
has not been phen0menaE-but IL has
been solid-made up Of citizens who
are not only willing to share In the
cost OF maintaining such ar organiza-
ton, but are ever ready and willing to
lend their active and moral support TO
the carrying through of such works as
are undertaken by the club.

In addition to adding two new body
models to It's line the makers of the
Liberty car have seen fit to make some
minor chassis improvements, among
them a slight change In the steering
gear, the substitution OF a corrugated
black walnut steering wheel for the
plain type, the fitting OF a new hood
with more than twice the previous
number OF louvres and a change In the
position OF the front license bracket.
The main units and primary construe-
ton OF the chassis are the same as

Admiration OF good looks brought
about by the harmonious combination
OF curves and angles was never more
stimulated by the makers of the Lib

other models Of the line, for the brough-

same lines. The touring and roadster
seen on the streets this past year have
the same general lines as the inclosed
models. In the touring there now are
