With conditions favorable and with
the outlook most encouraging. automo-

the twenty third national automobile
shows this year to be record breakers.
The displays will be held in Grand Cen
tral Palace. New York city. January 6
to 10. and in the Coliseum and Armory.
Chicago, January 81 to February 3.
Every one connected with the industry
is looking forward to a prosperous year
in 1923. According to general opinion.
the outlook for credit, finance and sales
is of the best.
There have been some changes in the
exhibitors list since the show manage
ment issued its preliminary data. A re-
vsed list shows that eighty-three
| manufacturers will exhibit at New
York.
The fact that the show is only a few

set the motoring world wondering what
the exposition will bring to light. Man

Don't adjust the brakes from the

mainly to adjust the position of the

brake assembly is lessened. and the
brakes are much less efficient.
Don't think you are clever il you
adjust the brake bands so tight that
