TAX REVIEWING WINDOWS.

r. Additional rates charged for hotel
rooms because the windows overlook
the route of the inaugural parade will
be subject to a federal amusement
tax of 10 per cent, the same rule be-
ing in effect that was applied at the
time of the LIST Division parade in
Washington last September.
Where the rates are not raised
above the regular charge for hotel
accommodations the tax will not ap-
ply, and Arthur c. Holden of the
sales tax unit of the department of
internal revenue. said today that the
tax charged in each case would de-
pend on the circumstances under
which the room was occupied. In
cases where each person is charged
admission to the room for purposes
of viewing the parade the tax will be
! cent for each 10 cents charged -
other instances where the charge is
for the room alone, regardless of the
number of persons admitted the tax
will be levied on different basis.

INF W MANAGER AT
 ATLANTA BRANCH
Byron King Now In Charge of Buick, With Ulrner as
 Assistant

The Buick Motor Company an nounces that. effective May 15, MT. By ron H. King has been promoted from assistant manager to the branch man. ager of the Atlanta branch of the com pany.
 At the same time and effective on the same date, Mir. Benjamin F. Ulmer has been promoted from the sales man agement to that of assistant branch manager.
 The many friends of Messrs. King and Ulmer will be pleased at this an nouncement, inasmuch as these promo tions come after service covering seven or eight years in the Atlanta or ganization, during which time they have
 bnsn acknowledged factors in it's growth and expansion to the point where the business of this house very probably exceeds in money volume that of any other automobile institution in the southeast.
 Mr. King entered the service of the Buick Motor Company in the Atlanta branch on August l, 1913. After a serv- ice of some five years with the branch, occupying successively the positions of traveller, sales manager and division sales manager he was promoted to position of special work at the factory. For some two years he was associated in the home office organization with MT. E. T. Strong, general sales man. aeer. This work brought Mir. King in close contact with practically all of the

FARMERS ARE NOT
 SOLD ON ASOL|DS"
That's Why They're Watch
 ing This Long Run on PneumaticS

Manufacturers of motor trucks. will enter the first national motor truck reliability contest which starts at Omaha Monday, June 14, for a trip Of 2,500 miles to be made in twenty-five days covering the richest farm sec ton of the world with noon and night stops at the most important places. Distributors and dealers along the tentative route and throughout the entire money belt district are insist Ing that the manufacturers shall enter this contest.
 Farmers throughout this great agri- cultural section of America are watch ing with the utmost interest every de- tail in regard to the run, and their interest has been shown by requests for added information
 The contest was designed and the rules were drawn with a view of per hitting fair determination of rela- tive truck performance value This run, the farmers believe, will enable them to learn at first hand of the real value of the truck with pneumatic tire equipment for their work. Distribu- tors, dealers and farmers throughout this entire district covering the route as far west as Cheyenne. south to the Santa Fe trail, east to Des Moines, and lDrouBn the soutHerH tier ol Mlnne- sota, have not been sold on the motor truck during the time of it's equip ment with solid tires.
 The entry of the pneumatic tire and promise of a constantly increasing de- mand for motor trucks in the move- ment to motorize the farm brought about the action of the Omaha Bee ia underwriting this event for a large amount of money which may run to over s30,000. Omaha distributors and dealers, the Omaha Chamber of Com merce, Omaha Automobile Trade As- sociation, and the Chambers of Com

 January l. 1918, Mr. King returned to the Atlanta branch, dividing the sales management with MT. Ulmer, and having immediate supervision of the southern division of the branch terri tory in the southeastern states. On April 1 he was promoted to the assist9 art management. in which capacity he served to May 15, 1920, when came the announcement of his elevation to the bianeh management of the Buick com pany's affairs in this section.
 MT. Ulmer has been associated with the Atlanta branch of the company for nearly eight years having entered the service at Savannah, where he was re- tail sales manager of the branch then operated by the company in that city.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-30

On August 15, 1913, he was trans ferred to Atlanta, joining the forces there in the capacity of utility sales rian. Shortly after this transfer he was assigned as traveller to northwest Georgia, northern Alabama and Tennes see territory and covered that section for the company for about two years. Re was then promoted to sales manage ment of the northern half of the south eastern territory and continued in this capacity until April 1, when the man. agement of the entire territory of the Atlanta branch was given over to his care and supervision.
 Thus Messrs. King and Ulmer are especially fitted for the duties which devolve upon them, having had not only l-ng association with this branch, but experience of such scope as has given them the opportunity of first-hand in- formation in every department relating to the sale and distribution of Buick
