LEADERS PLEASED
Dear HenU:

Il
show ended up in one big, effulgent
bfaxk of glory in Convention Hall
last night and you were among
thoss, few not present at the big
finale. II you ever hear from me
again It'll be by ouija board and
vithbut my knowledge or consent.
I'm just going to make you writhe
In exquisite agony by reciting few
of the features that / didn't get
time to mention before-not that
theytdfdn't merit being mentioned
nrsGt but on account of space re-
strictions-
III lead OF with telling you about
the fDuplex-Limited truck. which

because no sooner was I inside the
doort than II. II. England. killeen's
sales manager. grabbed me and said:
SAY. don't miss this, See this
wonderful truck here? II was sold

Ceiiapsible Rim.
when i got up to the crowd-pull-
ing Barber and Ross booth, who
should i see there but W. T. Bur-
roushs. agent for the collapsible
rim. He succeeded in weaving my
eyes; from the dazzling display of
other accessories to the peach of a
rim which he's selling.
It's an metal. you see, Henry, and
you put 1t right where ordinary
rims go. II you need to change
tires, all you have to do Is to take
the tire OF the wheel. unlock the
rim with your toe, and bounce the
tire on the ground once. Zip! The
rim .eollapses, being hinged; and
the putting-on operation is just as
easy. You can do IL in three min
utes at the most. and not get your
hands dirty. It's got great future,
Henry.
Warren NJ. York. president of the
York-Parkhurst Motor Company.
was looking very satisfied with his
superlstive exhibit OF Paiges when
I happened around. And his words
did not belle his looks. He was
highly pleased with the business
during the show, and he has a bar
relful of prospects.
Talk about last-minute business.
Henry They did it last night. I
wanted to talk to somebody of the
Lambert-Hudson Motor Company
about the pretty Hudsons and Es-
sexes on the floor. but everybody
: was busy selling those cars.
All Delighted.
It was the same thing at the
George c. Rice Auto Company, dis
tributers of the Columbia and the
Stearns-Knight. where q throng was
gathered around a cut-out Stesrns-
Knight chassis. showing the exclu-
sive sleeve valve feature.
Z. J. Quinn. president of the E.
J.. Quinn Motor Sales Company. SELL
ing the Westcott, expressed himself
as delighted with the show. He
voiced the sentiment Of practically
every auto man there, Henry, and
thatSN one of the reasons why I'm
sore that you didn't see the show.
The Saxon Duplex. shown by Wal
ter z. Kittell and Company, got of
to a flying start on the first night
Of the show, and was sill going
strong when the doors were closed
and the cat was put out last night.
The District Motor Company had
some very enjoyable experiences

great, length in letters of gold.

The washington-TempIa Motors
were on the job with the new Temp
tar. which the company says is su-
perfirie. I'd like to say something
tnfnitely better about il, but IL
would take up too much space. and
then II wouldn't give you my real
thoughts about it. You just ought
to see a Templar. Henry. That's all.
Henry, Ii was a wonderful show
