Q)-GENERAL ORGANIZATION. Our business is thoroughly organtsedm
every department, With the existing high operating costs and working q >
liked margin Of profit it is absolutely necessary in the automobile distributing
business today to have al organization as nearly perfect as possible in every
department of the business. Close working of the territory and maximum
from Ill parts of the territory is essential. Each selling department
istative organization must be 0 the job ali the time. Our organization is d-
vided into Administrative, Accounting, Credit, Purchasing, Service and Whole
sale and Retail Sales Departments and only the utmost efficiency in each De-
partment will enable Y to secure that large volume of business winch alone
makes It possible to operate at a profit. .
V-ADVERTlSING. A large volume of business is absolutely impossible
without a plentiful amount Of advertising wisely distributed and directed. Ad-
.vertsing has been called the greatest force in the business world and we ri
selves arec convinced that advertising is ne of the greatest factors in keeping
down the high cost of merchandising and the consequent high cost of goods
down operating costs and tends to make cit possible to sell goods for less money
()-BUs1NESs QUARTERS An adequate building is necessary in which
to house a growing business. We have been compelled to add another story
to III building and to enlarge our office facilities and will shortly double our
space available for shop and service work. We have increased the se Of or
parts department twice in the last twelve months and inside Of six months viii
double it again. We are remodehng u display oom and have separate show
rooms for passenger cars and trucks We ire centrally located a 4h St just off
N. =. Avenue. W. have a total floor space of $4,000 square feet at the present
time and will unquetionably have to increase this heavily before the year IS up
The year 1920 will continue to be q buyers market. An Of the leading factories
have orders far n excess of their ability to supply. There never was Z TIM IN
the history Of The industry when it was $50 difficult to get enough automobiles
and trucks to take care of the business offered.
It is therefore Of the utmost importance to dealers that they form connsclons
with a large distributing organization which has thoroughly prepared and pro-
tected itself BY purchasing outright enough cars and trucks to take care dh IL
contract obligations.

Q)rTHE MAXWELLCTiALMER LINE TSELF. The sheer merit of the
line and its completeness and pro6tmakng possibilities make its most attractive
from a dealers standpoint insuring maximum dealer representation all over the
territory. It IS absolutely impossible to e. together a line of four cylinder cars
and 81 cylinder cars and a line of popularprced trucks all manufactured in one
factory and all distributed by n organization from any other sourcein the
Northwest. THERE'S absolutely no line in any way comparable to this n and
the dealer who secures the Maxwen-Chalmers selling franchise for 1920 has as
suredh himself the most profitable business in his experience.
GO-DE1IVERIES. The demonstrated ability Of the Horton Motor Com
pany ito secure al adequate number Of GAYS and trucks even in times of unpar-
aneled shortage has made a contract with them especially desirable. Not a dol
lar car be made on automobiles and trucks that you do not get, and the dealer
who is selling MaxwelLChalmers line through the Horton Motor Company
organization is virtually assured of obtaining at least the major portion Of the
cars and trucks he has ordered. - %@t&@@ #t.

1919; in 1920 he clouted no less than
ffty-four
Previous to the time freak deliv
cries were barred, low score games
were the exception rather than the rule.
In his last year with the Phillies Alex
ander won thirty-three games, six
teen of which were shutouts. A shut
out last season was more or less OF a
novelty. And despite the big scores
the games were not draggy. The aver
age time approximated the speed of
pitching duels.
The public clearly likes slugging, as
last years patronage proved. Babe
Ruth is the greatest attraction IN
baseball, primarily because of his ex-
ceptional ability to clout the ball a
long way. His towering fouls, even,
are awe-inspiring. Heavy hitting en-
hances every phase of action on the
field.
1t means more and harder chances
or the tielders. 1t means more base
tuNniag 1t means an added charm Of
ulc ,rtainty, which, after all, is the real
cham of the game. The game as it is
has nrrived at highly satisfactory
state. 1t is unnecessary to .persecute
the fcw remaining veterans Of the spit
ball trade, many Of whom have proven
as honorable and loyal as the best be-
loved Of their profession.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-25
Veterans Nav
Use Spitball
Again i'm 1921
Majority of Club Owners
Favor Gradual Abolish
ment of Moist Delivery
BY w. ]. Macbeth

While the sptball is eventually to
re relegated to the scrap heap with all
ether forms of freak delivery-or those
which call for the application Of for
elgn substance to roughen the sur
race OF the horseh ide--it seems now
more than certain that veteran pitch
ers OF the two major leagues who were
exempted and allowed to ply their
trade through 1920 will get an addi-
tional lease of life in 1921.
Indeed, majority of the maj
league club owners-and the majority
henceforth is to have the say in an
lnterleague meeting where the issue
has to be decided~is believed to favor
a plan that would bar the use Of the
spitbull by minor league pitchers grad
uatng into fast company, but would
still permit the use of the delivery by
those twirlers who depended upon it
for their success in 1920, as curtail-
ment at this late date would deprive
certain honorable athletes from a
means of earning livelihood at their
profession.
AS matter OF fact the number of
pitchers in the big show that are
classed as "spitters' is not Great The
major league rule of last year which
limited big league clubs to tie U.s. of
two such worked no hardship; none OF
the American or National League teams
carried more than two. Most Of then
had but one. More than half Of these
were veterans, we'll beyond the zenith
of their best days, so that by letting
the spitball die naturcl death, as pro
posed, the evil would be remedieC
within the course Of four or five years
al most.
Fans Favor Banishment
That the spitball never has a chance
of being resurrected there is little
question. The move to abolish it has
proved decidedly popular with every
one save, perhaps, spitball pitchers
Promoters, after all, are accountable
to the great paying public and the
public has turned down thumbs agains1
all form of freak delivery. 1t is safe
to say that if the matter were left tt
a vote OF the fans the freak delivery
would be defeated by an overwhelm
ing majority.
Organized baseball enjoyed the mos
prosperous season of It's history il
1920 This was the year freak deliv
cries were barred. Said barring may
or may not have been directly respon
sible for this result. but the public
believes it was, and that Is as i
should be.
Manufacturers of baseballs aver OF
their honor that the balls used by the
ma or leagues in 1920 were no live
lier than had been in use for severa
seasons previously. Yet never in the
history of the game was such sluggin
witnessed as during the run of 1920
Babe Ruth almost doubled his recort
output of home runs. He set {

Ar1nour's 1O-Foot
Putt Keeps Match
From Extra Holes

PINEHURST, N. c., Nov 24.--The
first match round in the Carolina tour
nament played at Pinehurst to-day
came within an ace Of providing one
of the most surprising upsets Of the
season, when Tom Armour the Scot
tish expert, was called upon to sink a
tenfoot putt to prevent his match
with f. I. Heating, Of Spring Lake
n j., from going to extra holes. AS
it was, Armour negotiated the long
putt successfully and won the match
by l up.
All the other likely candidates for
the fnalist honors won their matches
without much difficulty. Chris Deibel
champion of the Youngstown Country
Club, who qualified in second place
yesterday, four strokes behind Ar
mour played against c. L. Becker, of
Philadelphia and New York, and won
by up and 5 to play
