But you got most Of the crowd up
there because | told all my friends
that il was an open secret that the
Committee was going to give a new
Cadillac to the best-looking man and
the most beautiful woman who at
tended the show. Naturally, my
friends got to talking and all Of the
Cay Josephines from 10 to 20 were
there; also, a mammoth assortment
of Silly Charles. There would have
been a lot more If / could have
gotten around more.
| didn't want to tell you this be-

the situation. But now that you've
found out that all is Jerry with the

to a small consideration.

The Yellow Cab Company issued
a statement yesterday in reply to
queries relative 10 the failure OF
the Terminal TaXicab Company to
enter the general hacking and
pickup business on the streets.
The Terminal Taxicab Company.

shipments of automobiles from the
plants show that February in
creased 5s per cent over January
while March will be approximately
IS per cent over February.
"Appreciating the fact that the
people must have cars, the indus
try has continued, sensibly optimis-
tic. readjusting itself during the
past four months. and as a result
will be more efficient in the future.
Economists marvel at the de-
mand for cars, because they over
look the fact that this big country
will always demand Individual
transportation by the most efici-
ent means.
Autos In q Circus.
1T was only IS years ago when
there were four passenger automo-
oiles in the United States. One of
them wks in a circus. the second
used for trick exhibitions and two
others were regarded as mechan-
ical freaks,
Ten years later the engineering
genius Of the country brought the
motor vehicle to a standard of
anu SOsOVO cars
types were turned out by the man
ufacturers in 1905.
From this point the problem be-
came one OF demand to the public
and very intensive salesmanship.
The decade which followed came to
close at the end of 1914 with
l'711.ooo motorized high transpor-
tation units on the road.
The 1921 figures show $500, 900
passenger cars and 100000 trucks
which supply a sustained record for
Increased production which in
without parallel in the history of
manufacturing output in the world
1t was only twenty-one years
ago when the Automobile Club OF
America with high credit to itself.
promoted the first automobile show
ir Madison Square Garden, when
cars were a novelty and automo-
biles had not yet been permitted 10
enter Central Park.
The motor car has geared Amer
lea to a new efficiency in commerce.
provided a new standard of living
and inaugurated a new philosophy
of thought.
where Motor Cars Are Used.
New York now heads the list
with $4,000 motor vehicles, al
though the biggest percentage Of
increase in car use last year was
in West Virginia, followed by Miss
issippi. Florida and Texas.
South Dakota has taken the
lead, with one motor vehicle for
every "a persons. followed by
Ohio. Nebraska and California.
The public generally, does not
appreciate the exact position of the
motor vehicle in the scheme of
transportation.
There are 2.500.00e miles open for
highway transportation. which with
the railway and waterways. make
for the trinity of transportati ton
that means SO much for America.
The nation waited many years
for the motor car and unless the
people are going back to using
horses, the motor car industry must
continue to expand.
In New York City a recent sur
vey showed that in one day Man
haitian Island was linked to the
mainland over sixteen bridges and
seven ferries by $4,000 cars and
trucks, which carried a total of
100000 passengers equal to one
third of the subway fares"

L. Bamberger & CO. of Newark
Start Work on 5 100000 Addition to Their Store

In the rear of the restaurant Will
be a 100x2S TT. solarium in which
co-workers may rest or read.
A portion of the basement of the
new store will be excavated to a
double level. The secondary level,
which will be used for the present as
a storage place for merchandise, will
eventually provide space for a vast
extension of the present engine room
and refrigerating plant.
Twenty-eight years ago, l.. Bam-
berger & Co. occupied two floors In
a building 50x200 feet. A few years
later the little store had grown to
such an extent that the entire
six-floor building was occupied.
Another building was added In 1898.
which increased the Bamberger floor
space by 100 per cent. In 1906 an
other addition was built extending
clear back to Bank Street.
1912 saw the opening Of the Q
store-the Great White Store" as
Newark proudly calls 1t. This build
ing, which Is regarded as n of the
most notable department stores In
the country, will be vastly improved
by the addition of the new corner.
Jarvis Hunt, Of Chicago. the archi-
tect OF the present building. has
drawn the plans for the new addition.
Martin Schwab, of Chicago, Is the
consulting engineer. Taussig &
Flesch, also of Chicago, are the fix
ture architects.
