SEEKS DISTRIBUTOR
FOR SPLENDID CAR

Joseph M. Macbeth, general manager
Of Macbeth & Co., Of Evansville, Ind,
fiscal agents for the Revere Motor
Car corporation Of Logansport, Ind. is
at the Chisca accompanied by his wife
Mr.. Macbeth is in the city in the in
terest Of the Revere corporation, which
manufactures the famous high powered
Revere automobile which develops 1903
horsepower and Is guaranteed to go IS
miles per hour. This car was designed
by Adolph Monson, famous Dusenberg
engineer. Assisting Mr.. Monsoon in the
development of this car were Gil. An
derson and Tom Rooney, the renowned
Stutz racing team.
Although the retail price Of the Revere
car is now 1880. Mr.. Macbeth says that
an Eastern syndicate has contracted for
the entire output of the factory for five
years. Also another Eastern syndicate
has underwritten all the stock the con-
Germ intends to issue. However, he
says that in behalf of these two syndi-
Gates he came to Memphis to arrange
for distributing agency for the car
for the South and also for the placing
of a small block Of Revere stock among
Memphis investors through some local
broker or bank.
Mr. Macbeth says that the people who
DO not keep In close touch with the
automobile industry do not begin to
appreciate its enormity. He says that
on account Of depleted production dur
ing the war, and other causes, the au-
tomobile manufacturers of the United
States are today about a million cars
behind on production for normal con-
sumption, and that 1t will take four
years for them to catch up. He says
that Memphis should have an automo-
bile factory by all means and that he
Is glad to notice that move is being
made here along that line at the pres

tits a far cry from the motor trucl,
of today to the first models at the start
of the industry" says ]. f. Holleran,
truck manager of the fernando Motor
company.
When trucks were first placed on
the market for general sale, they were
far from being reliable hauling units.
In fact, most of the trucks then sold
were simply express bodies mounted on
passenger car chassis with lower gear
ratios
To-day trucks are built Of the best
possible material obtainable on the
American market. Steels have been de-
veoped especially for trucks, so that
ightness and strength are combined.
Motors have been specially built for
trucks, where formerly they were only
developments of passenger car motors
with few changes,
Dealers are selling trucks along busi-
ness lines, where formerly men bought
trucks because they thought they ought
to buy them. Now trucks are so dion
their merits alone"
