Luis Angel Firpo, victorious in
his defeat for the worlds title at
the hands Of Jack Dempsey through

Off his feet. placed his fighting
togs in moth balls for the time
being and turned his AttentiDn to
the business Of distributing ssnts
cars IN the Argentine and Uruguay.
RI 1t win be recalled that on 4 re-
cont visit to Indianapolis the wild
Bull OF the Panapas' signed the
selling franchise Of the Stutz Motor
Car Company of America, IIlc.,
giving him the distribution Of
Stutz cars in the two above named
Latin American countries.
And while Firpo trained for the

Firpo's contract with Tex Rick

the Dempsey fight and he is free
to follow his own aspirations and
ambitions from now on.
Although baked In his attempt
to wrest the heavyweight title from
the champion of CHAMPIONS Firpo
is as much the IDOL of South Amer

fight, but he won the respect not
only of Dempsey, but of 90 900

s Ready fer Opening
Arrangements have been com.
pieted for the opening of spacious
showroom and well equipped service
station in the heart of the bus
mess section of Buenos Aires. The
initial shipment of Stutz Skies and
the Speedway Series Fours leaves
New York this week, together with
an ample supply Of parts for the
service station. Firpo will take
his personal car, maroon Stutz
Six Sportabout, with him.
Firpo will also open a modern
sales room and service station in
Montevideo across the river in
Uruguay. Both Argentine and
Uruguay offer a splendid market
for StutZ cars, declared Firpo, not
only because OF their extraordinary
motor power, but also because Of
their dashing appearance and beauty
of line, which appeal so intensely
to South Americans.
Firpo plans to hold an impressive
opening of his new showrooms in
the immediate future and will be
actively engaged in selling Stutz
cars before the end of October. He
also is planning to exhibit the Stutz
mnds1s at the great salon in Bucnos
Aires.
Firpo in business is just as in.
tense and determined as Firpoj in
the ring, his intimate friends state.
His astounding energy, coupled with
his tremendous popularity, will
quickly establish him as one of tho
leading automobile distributors In
South America.

The speaker advocated that the

general economic value Of improved
highways and, second, by the motor

the following points:
The State should be the sole
