Annual Exhibition for Middle

Coliseum

Chicago's famous Automobile Show
will have its twenty first birthday Jan
uary 20. when it opens at the Coliseum,
Coliseum Annex and First Regiment.
The greatest OF all industrial cxpOsi-
ions will close the night of the follow.
ing Saturday. February 3.
There will be upward of $50 separate
exhibits. eighty of them being of pas
senger cars and the remainder of acccs-
sorieS. The space went weeks ago, not
an available inch being left. The num-
Der of new cars will be on the floor for
the first time, ard the latest models and
the last word In motor efficiency will be
shown.
The exposition this year will again
prove that there is no reason for going
abroad to secure the best in motor We.
hiCles. American made cars are fully
equal to the high priced importations
that have been brought across the water.
While many improvements will be
noted in the passenger cars, these will

The betterments center largely on
greater efficiency and economy. a
buyer gets more for his money and also
rmOre in the way of comfort and con-
venienCe.
Basic principles OF body lines are
about the same as seen at the 1920 Chi.

looked for. There are few minor
changes in hood and windshield de-
signs.

BASEBALL LEAGUE
SAVED BY AUTOS
Kennett Square Fans See Fast
Teams Because Of Bob CAL
houn's Happy Thought
BY BILL DALLAS

The automobile plays an important
part in the athletic world today. BY its
use athletes have performed all kinds of
stunts. One basketball player during
last season was able to participate in
three games in the course of one day,
but that the life of baseball league
was directly responsible to the use of
the auto is tale not generally known.
The Commercial Baseball League, one
Of the many organizations of this kind
playing around Philadelphia on Satur-
day afternoons was the one enabled to
continue in the game through the use of
the speedy motorcar. 1t was at meet
ing held in the Hotel Walton that the
Commercial appeared doomed to die
when Robert Calhoun, manager of the
j. Il j. Dobson club, came forth with
his sterling suggestion.
In the circuit were DisstOn, Dobson,
Schultz Kocrting, Westinghouse, Sharp
les, of West Chester, and Kennett
Square. Every one wanted the last in
the organization. 1t was a hOtbpd for
the national sport and had fast
team. bat it was such long jump that
it was impossible to take them into the
fold.
The travelling facilities were poor.
One could make trolley connections by
taking day of no other way. The
Disston players knew it, because they
had played an exhibition game there
several weeks before the opening of the
season. All the players connected with
the clubs were working Saturday morn

NEW YORK SHOW
H|STORY-MAKER
Record Attendance Saw Exhib-
its in MetropoIis-Much
Interest in Buying

The closing day of the New York auto
show, staged under the auspices Of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com.
m"r"", witnessed tn" passing into his
tory of one Of the greatest and most
successful exhibitions ever staged by
Ii" m"torcar industry.
The tremendous attendance ut the
show, and the buying interest dis.
played, f"re"ast a quick regeneration
from tn" depression of the last sew
eral months. not only for the automo-
bile industry but for other manufac-
turing groups as well.
This is not the first time that the
automobile industry has set the pace

cral previous occasions having wis-
messed similar demonstrations Of the
lnduSt-y'S rcmarkHb!" vitality and re-
cup"ratly" power.
The explanation IL found, it is
thought, in the fu"t that the autUmo-
bile has grown to be an essential to
American life that il second to none
except fo0dStuifs 8ni clothing, and that
nsequ"ntly the industry is more quick

nomic trend than almost any other.
Though buying at the show was still
light, evidence Of IL strong and Wig
"rouS demand in the near future made
itslcf unmstakably felt, auguring O
spring business Of healthy and nor
mul proportions, with still further i'm
pr0v"m"nt next summer.
The advice generally heard ut the
automobile show, to those who are
figuring on buying car during the
next six months, was Buy Early"
In good many cases it IL probable
that this advice will be needed, to the
mutual advantage OF both tho con-
BLIu"r and the manufacturer.
An analysis Of the tendencies In de-
sign and construction exhibited at the
show indicates no very pronounced
change from the models Of the preceding
year Rather such changes as were
manifest as in the nature ot reiinements
and improvements contributing 10
greater satisfaction in operation and
economy in the upkeep Of cars.
In point OF numbers and prestige the
six cylinder car still remains supreme
in the regard of the American public,
though In the low priced field where
economy Is more of consideration,
there was a slight gain In favor OF the
four cylinder tyne Of construction, the
most notable acquisition being the new

Lucky Limousine Figures
in Local Golf Victories
E. Y. O'Hanlon's Car Is Horseshoe Harbinger,
Passengers Therein Haze Come to
BeLieUe-Ask 'Em
BY SANDY McNIBLICk

A SIX q scribe the relation of motor
n to golf and he'll tell You that autos
are the most useless COntraptiOns in the
world going the other way. In the
other direction, az it were, they are in
dispensablc.
An abundance of automobiles, going
in the right direction. was Il factor
which contributed greatly to make the
last open-golf championship of the
United States one of the most faultlesS
affairs ever played.
The committee out there in Toledo
corralled every motor -owning golf fan
possible prior to the event, posted Il
great poster on his windshield, 'otf:
cial car" and gave the owner the right
to park his ear right on the grounds
instead of in field with the mass, some
furlongs distant. All the owner had to
do was cart players, press, and officials
to the grounds and back, wherever and
whenever hailed.
The arrangement proved trumnh
in transportation facilities, and the
city of Toledo got II big boost in the
minds of golf folks from every section
of the country for the way it handled
things.
The popular motorist in golfdom is
the one who hAbitually and cordially
travels with the door open.
That holds particularly in golf be-
cause it's long track home from any
club foot, the trolley system out
there in the country is mostly Tooner-
Vile, the train service seldom.
Therefore, when you're waiting for
something to turn up, the 'hop in
hail of throhbing mOtoriSt brings un-
usual peace and pleasure. That's for
autos in general.
But +. j. Higgins, St"nton, will tell
you that there's one ear in particular

HIGH MARK FOR
CONCRETE ROADS
Pennsylvania Laid 41O Miles. 1 8
Feet in Width, During
the Last Year

A worlds record for the construction
of concrete roads was made by the State
Highway Department Of Pennsylvania
during the year 1920. There were 40
miles Of this type Of thoroughfurr built,
eighteen feet in width.
In 1919 the Pennsylvania Highway
Department completed I;J3 miles of con-
crete roadway.
tn" maintenance forces of the state
Highway Department during 1920 have
entirely rcSurfar"d 377 miles of maca-
dam highway and surface treated l4SO
miles of the sam" type Of thorouehfar".
In all. the forces Of this department
maintained H5O3 miles of roadway. OF
this mileage iG3 were in boroughs and
on state aid roads.
Illinois makes tn" closest approach to
the state Highway Department Of Penn
sylvania in tn" 1920 construction or
highways of durable type. having put
down approximately $50 miles of CON
crete during the present season.
The Pennsylvania Highway Depart
ment now has under construction ap-
proximately 800 miles Of concrete. The
department plans III" awarding of con-
tracts for nm additional 800 miles Of
concret" roadway early in 1927 and
hopes to he able I" complete not less
than coo miles of durable highway in
that year.
During 1920 the Pennsylvania High
way Department was somewhat handi-
capped through lack "f materials and
because of the great difficulty in trans.
porting materials from mills and quar-
rics to the scene Of construction.

by the committee as architect and dec.

belishments have been copied through
out the country, and it hardly was be-
lievcd that last years setting could be
surpassed, but 1t was. Mr.. Tyre chose
the Greek and Renaissance styles. With
those as basic principals, he proceeded
to blend white and gold into an ensemble
that has eclipsed anything attempted in
the past.
Cars for Every One
Everybody" seems to have been the
target at which the exhibitors aimed
this year. There are cars for the
farmer, the doctor, the business man,
speed demon, the cross country driver
and the women. These models are dis
played in prices which suit the bank
clerk and his millionaire president, with
types for all sizes of wallets between
those extremes.
IL any one has the coin or hopes to
have, he can find Il car TINT exactly
fits his purse IL not his desires.
While 1t is true that it takes an cx-
pert to detect the technical changes
made in most Of the cars, the average
owner can see that the changes are not
OF radical nature. Revolutionary de
partures were discarded long ago. Fir-
tualIy oil makers are content to make a
few constructive changes each year, and
1t is these changes that are seen this
season.
stream lines are somewhat more pro-
nounced than formerly, running in
some cases from the radiator hood to
the rear seat, but aS rule cnunse>
in body designs have been made for the
artistic effect alone. Naturally every
owner Is interested in the engines. As
usual the skies and "fours' attract
the most attention, although the
"eights' and ''twelvcs' are BY no
means overlooked. These last are used
largely in the high priced cars and tu
the average buyer are merely exhibi :
tions, not purchase possibilities.
Some of the makers have stuck to
one design of engine. that is, many be. t.
lieve in the -four" others in the
six" and still others in one other type.
However. there are some manufacturers
who have in their different models en- .
gines with varying numbers of cylin
ders. New body types, chiefly in re.
dams and coupes, are on display, al
though there is no marked departure in
the majority Of them. There are IN,
usual improvements in the finish aud
detail work of most of the cars, but
this Is an annual occurrence anu ~ ',
be expected in Il display of this magni .
tude.
Some time ago there were slight re
ductions made by number of com
panies, but il the years prices ar4
to be judged by those at the show there
will be little IL any general reduction.

the keynote of success. We have been
successful in our own little way due to
the fact that we have an orgn nnization
that co operates, all are happy mentally
and, naturally, financially. Our or
ganization breaches optimism and auto
mobile business.
I'VE believe we are as much in busi-
ness as any bank may be.
Shortage Of Automobiles
I'VE believe, in spite of Appearances
to the contrary, there will be short
age of automobiles in the spring. There
already is shortage of incl0sed cars
and. naturally. prices which are gov
erned by supply and demand are going
to remain stationary for some time to
come.
I'VE believe the buyer today Is not
as much interested in the first cost of
the car as he is in the after cost. BY
that i mean the service he gets. A
good automobile without the proper
service is poor automobile to own
regardless Of prize. therefore the wise
substantial automobile business man Ia
backing up his sales department with
strong service department.
lhe used car situation has arrived
~ point where sale is always made.
Inc salesman either buys the old car
or else he sells the prospective buyer
his new car and the strong salesman
Is making more money today because
he brings home the fact TO the pros.
pective buyer of the new car that the
allowance does not always signify the
best trade.
The automobile Is going to be sold
in the future instead of bought, there
fore, 1t is going to result in keen
statesmen, honest merchandise, backed
up by 100 per cent service. We be-
lieve this and are trying to build our
business along these lines"
In addition to being one of the big
| figures in the automobile game. Fred j.
Petersen is quite an athlete. He Is fond
Of outdoor sport and belongs to a half
dozen golf clubs.
Sandy McNiblick, the country club
critic, waxed enthusiastic when he
learned that Mr.. Petersen was being

much spirit. One day, after he had

Golf to me is u necessity" admitted
Mr.. Petersen. After playing eighteen
holes ! feel as much refreshed as IL
had taken two hours nap. 1t is the
greatest game in the world.
ITO my mind, golf has done more to
cement friendship in business than any
other thing. business men never would
be thrown together on the same footing
were it not for golf.
