KING EXECUTIVE MAN
OF MANY VENTURES

With the greater success OF the King
Motor Car Company already fore
shadowed the chain of C. A. Finnegan's
achievements Is complete save for one
link, politics. and he refuses to have this
link added. Mr.. Finnegan is known the
country over as journalist, a financier,
a business man. and now as an automo-
tive king. His outstanding ability in
these four fields of endeavor sharply
contrast with his humble start.
1t was on the streets of Louisville.
KY, that he began his business career
as a newsboy. In that same city Tor
about fifteen years he was a srnelter and
refiner Of metals. From there he moved
to Chicago to become half owner in one
OF the large smelling plants in North
Chicago. Ten years ago he sold his In
terests there and came to Buffalo to
build q smelling plant in a neighboring
town. Depew.
Shortly after that he took over several
concerns for development and by carry
ing them through by liquidation made
them profitable. In 1914 he bought the
old Buffalo and Susquehanna Railway,
running from Buffalo to Wellsville. N. Y.
This was operated for some time. but
was later sold. There was scarcity
Of rails when the war was on. so when
the road was abandoned the rails were
shipped to Egypt for the British Gov
ernment and the equipment was sold.
Mr.. Finnegan later bought the old
famous steamship Northwest, which was
cut in two. He intended to send this
to Montreal to be put into an ocean
steamship. Unfortunately a half sunk
in Lake Ontario
:. Through his latest ventures he and
his associates own the Susquehanna Pulp
and Paper Company OF Northumberland,
NJ H.; Giant Truck Corporation of Chi
cago Heights. Ill.,; the Lautz Bros. Soap
Company of Buffalo, N. Y; several large
brewery properties and vast real estate
holdings.

With all its brilliance and lavish deco

The steel disk wheels, drum type
head-lamps and cowl lamps of the same
design, windshield wiper, rear vision
mirror and cord tires with which the car
is equipped are all standard equipment
on all Maxwell models, with the excep-
tion Of cowl lamps, which are not fur

is also regular equipment and serves to
complete most unusual and high grade
accessory layout for a car in the good

itself on geo car q month basis. This
average was maintained from January,
1920. until July OF the same year. when
the slump came.
Like most other automobile manufae-
turers, the Premier organization adopted
a policy of systematic retrenehment.
However. it maintained a limited pro-
duction program and sold cars through
it's distributing organization over the
country.
With the promise of better business
predicted for 1922 the Premier began to
make plans for increased production
and other expansions In the general con-

in the coming year.

observe that the new body type is not
only symmetrical in lines. but that it
is substantially built. and OF convenient
and adequate size for it's five passengers.
The painting, fittings and finish are
quite up TO standard.
The real idea behind the coach is
that Essex Motors believes there are
a great number of purchasers who want
an inclosed car but that up to now they
have been unwilling to pay the rather
considerable advance in price over the
open body types. For urban use the
coach has the valuable facility of slip
ping in and out of small parking spaces
and the quick Essex pick up is a con
venience in eluding traffic jams.

ARlSTOCRATS RETIRED
BY PRUSSIAN CABINET
Posts Given to Socialists, Labor
Leaders and Members of
Liberal Parties.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 22.-The Prussian cab
met is replacing retired officials Of
aristocratic lineage with members of
the coalition parties. Posts formerly
occupied by aristocrats are now being
taken over by social democratic and
labor leaders and members of the
liberal parties.
The 'forcible mass pensioning' of
these office holders is arousing consid-
cradle criticisms from the conserva-
tive press. The Lokal Anzeiger takes
exception to this step because 1t is
attributed to insufficient supervision Of
armed reactionary organizations that
are participated in by the local police.
1t asks why these officials were not
Immediately called to account, since
the laws Of the republic prohibit such
organizations.
The entire German national people
party is in the throes of severe dis
agreement, Its inner political squabbles
already having split the party's reich
stag faction into ltra-monarchist and
anti-Semitic cliques. The break has
accentuated the present political stu
alton, since both the German peoples
and German national parties have
come out strongly in support of the
Wirth government.
