 WE TOLD YOU so On July 1 we advertised the fact that June had been the biggest month we had ever had in our twelve years of automo- bile experience. We told you we would \sell more automobiles in July than we did in June.
 WHY WE DO IT While we believe our friends among the au- tomobile owners out number the owners of other makes of automo- bile, it is not on friend ship that we solicit your business. If we can't give you more for your money than you can find elsewhere, we don't want your business. The best people in Bir- mingham buy Chandler automobiles and they always trade in their old car at a price so that it can be readily sold. You just can't beat that old Chandler mo- tor equipped with Bosch magneto and Rayfield carburetor.
 Used cars are always sold for less at Burns Bros.

Nat Holman, who will play with
the Blue Ribbon Five here, occupies
a unique position In basketball. Hoi-
man today is regarded by some az
the Jack Dempsey of basketball.
That perhaps Is a broad statement to
make, what with Joe Dreyfuss, John
ME BeclEman, Louis Sugarman, Bar
ME Sedran and Marty Friedman, all
active and lowering in the offing. But
ask yen the admirers of the quintet
named and If they have seen Nat
play-well, you've got their answer.
Nat Is the same player OF last sea-
son, only better. Reports from Ger
mantown, where he is holding forth
In the Pennsylvania State League,
incidentally with the leading team,
are that he Is playing the greatest
ball of his career. At New Brunswick
last Wednesday night his perform
ance caused the newspaper critic
present to say that he was without
doubt the greatest player who ever
entered a court in this city, not even
barring tina rlght-Martin Fliers."

friends in this city %journeyed to New

Holman is no stranger here. In
1918 he played with the Y. M. H. A,
and last year q number Of games
with the All-Stars. Nat Is q product
Of the East Side. Together with
Marty Kaufman, his "side-kick," he
formed a winning combination OF
the New York Playground League.
That was when they were each thir-
teen years old. Holman starred at
Commerce High and at Savage Insti-
tute where he prepared for his duties
at City College of New York as ply
steal director.
While at Savage and at the age of
seventeen he played his first profess
sional game-with the Knickerbock-
ers against Syracuse. From then on
a steady professional berth was as
sured him.
Holman's athletic proves Is not
confined to basketball. He Is a con-
sistently successful semi-pro pitcher,
one OF New York's best soccer and

and a decidedly efficient coach.
