that his associate officers, being all poor
men not able to afford a portrait of Alex

they had and secured the painting of
Alexander Hamilton ard | hope this is a
copy of the original. The arrangement
was, that each of the officers should keep
the lortrait for two months so each could
have the opportunity of having this por-
trait.

because he came to us early.
Alexander HAM ton possessed the most

IN SERVICE
STANDARDS

The average motorist does not
realize the variations in the standard
Of service which he expects from cars
iu the same price class. nor does he
recognize clearly the factors which
have made the standard Of service
for any particular car assume defin-
tie form in his mind" said John
Fleming, OF The Motor Car Sales
company.
IN many cases the claims made by
the local dealer when selling the car
have fixed a definite gage BY which
the owner measures his satisfaction
But 2 national standard OF service can
only be established By the manufac-
turer, and then only with the
thorough support OF his dealers.
The use By ourselves and our
dealers OF the slogan we believe the
Hupmobfla TO be the best car OF its
class IN the World. requires for It's

gree OF performances from the car It.

ness as the owner considers his Hup-
mobile above the class OF ordinary
Minor troubles OF aunoyanees
which in other cars would be dis
missed with a shrug OF the shoulders

Hupmobile standard. That our na-
tional service facilities are living up

praise contained IN daily correspond
ence from owners"

FORCE MORE
ROADMAKING

That the Identical economic condi-
tons which caused railway develop
meut are forcing a national agitation
for the development OF public high
ways IS the general consensus Of opin-
ION among fiuanclers, business men
and transportation experts
1t seems that the federal govern
ment continually receives additional
reasons for getting down to a oefi-
mite highway building program on q
national scale from the growing dis
cussion OF the economic conditions
that are being faced by big business.
Opposition TO the townsend Dill
now pending in congress, has pointed
out that the maximum Of motor de-
livery Is so miles.
E. A Williams, jr., president OF the
Garford Motor Truck company, OF
Lima, o., which has been urging a
new highway system for many
months. answered that argument by
declaring this maximum Is held 10 It's
present level because Of the wretched
system Of connections and the general
conditions OF roads
The railroads must form the cOuu-
try's long-distance transportation sys-
tenn" said Mr.. Williams, but they
cannot function 10 their fullest ca
pacity without a highway system that
viii accommodate a nationwide sys-
tenn Of traffic arteries for SHORTHAND
motor freight and express delivery.
such q system IS the only plan 70
stabilize food costs. While the motor
truck Is performing remarkable serv-
ice in achieving this end and has
come TO be regarded as tremendous
factor in our national commercial
scheme. &c has not had an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate its real worth
nor VIII Il have until we are given
the roads 20 enlarge its scope Of use

MOTOR CARS NOT
"NON-ESSENTIAL"

DEPORTS that the federal reserve
n board had classed automobiles
with "non-essentials" and ordered
member banks to restrict the fl
naucing Of automobile accounts were
emphatically denied by William P. G.
Harding. governor Of the board.
The unmi stalzabla terms used by
Mr.. Harding in denying the erroneous
reports VIII have a beneficial effect
upon the automotive industry, accord
