Hires Office in New Capitol
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Record
Number Of Auto Licenses
you GET YOURS RIGHT OFF

Ultimatums Of the State Highway
Bureau to restrain rapid fire auto tag
brokers mean nothing to Mrs. Alma
G. Fry, Of this city. who has con"
tinued to gain precedence over her com
petitors. Again she Is able to make
"at- -once" delivery on the license dates:
During december, 1920. she slinked
into prominence when her daily mes
sengcr to the Highway Bureaus Office
1T Harrisburg was able to bring away
several hundred sets Of tags at every
trip;
tests Of individuals brought an. order
from State Highway Commissioner
Sadler, who said no one would be per-
mittcd to get mere than ten sets OF
license tags at one time. This was
later reduced to five.
This situation has prompted notaries
to rent Offices near the division head
quarters. Mrs. Fry has stolen another
march on her competitors ty hiring the
Office us'd by the contractor erecting
new Capitol buildings. This office is
nearest of all to- the auto tag office.
Her esSengers, after obtaining their
five sets of tags, are able to drop them
sets more, drop them Mt the notary
sub Office, again return to the line, and
SO the cycle continues.
The object of these orders was to re-
strain notaries who promised immediate
action on applications for auto licenses
IL the matter were intrusted to their
discretion. Some notaries were able
to promise twenty -four hour service to
replace that offered by the ordinary
route open to the individual whereby he
got his tags by waiting anywhere from
one week to one monitor more.
Mrs. Fry, with Offices in the Abbott
Building, Broad and Race streets, did
u veritable land -office business when she
started her one day service. The serv-
ice was contingent upon payment OF ad-
ditional fees for more rapid action on
the applications.
She got the action all right through
employing two messengers, whom she
said she paid $40 weekly each. Their
trips to the State Capitol brought such
wonderful results she was able to han
die business for other notaries.
This year, with individuals again
trusting to luck and sending In their
applications late as usual, Mrs. Fry has
been able to circumvent the orders of
the State Highway Commissioner and
get large numbers Of tags daily.
