FAST SALE STRIDE
 BY RICKENBACkER
From Bottom Of Class Car Makes Phenomenal Record In Short Time

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 1.-"From l eighty third to nineteenth position
 nationally, and from the foot of the class to sixth from the top in sales
 of closed cars in Detroit, is the phe
 nomenal record made by Rick enback CT Motor company in less than two years" says Capt. E. V. Rickenback- CT, vice president of the concern. When the Rickenbacker car was first offered to the public we were, of course, at the bottom of the class, which means we were number eighty three. This months regis trations show us to be in the rela-
 tive positions indicated.
 Tn our own home town, Detroit,
 which community Is at the same
 which to sell a motor car, depending
 on whether the product meets with the approval of the cgnscenu, we
 stood twelfth last month in sales of all models, and sixth in closed models-and when 1 say sixth place
 I am including Ford, Chevrolet, and 1 all other lower priced cars. In the l class of enclosed cars selling atgthe
 same or higher prices. Rickenbacker stood first in sales in our own home territory last month.
 This month, August will prove the biggest month in our entire history and should show a 20 per cent 1h- crease over any previous month.
 And then they say the buyer does Suot appreciate advanced engineering features and improvements and that
 he buys only on price. Seems to me that Rickenbacker experience Is ample refutation of that superficial
 theory" says Captain Rickenbacker CT.

 lice officers. It Is pointed out that there have been total Of 2S9 auto mobile accidents thus far this year in
 Birmingham, resulting in deaths and
 the present drive is an effort to curb this alarming record.
 Civic organizations and the churches are already cooperating with the movement and mention of the campaign has been made in many
 of the pulpits of the city.
 Members of the Birmingham Mo
 tor club hope to reach every car
 owner and potential car owner in Birmingham with their safety warn ing message and are bending every
 effort to carry on the campaign un- til speeding in Birmingham Is a
 thing of the past.
 Considerable praise has been given the Birmingham Motor club upon it's efforts to curb the speeders and
 reckless drivers in Birmingham. and
 they are asking the cooperation of all motorists in this district, in try ing to obey the laws.
 The Birmingham MotCr club, which is a direct branch of the National
 Motorist association. has it's head quarters in the Morris hotel, and mo- torists are requested to call and get cards whereby they can take the numbers of the cars that are violat- ing the law, whereupon they will send the violator a warning card. You are requested to dc this whether you are a member or not.

OLD USERS FEEL
 TT CAN'T BE SO"
Jordan Statement On New Car Classes Much Com
 ment Among Followers

The Jordan factory recently made a statement which has created a great deal of comment among owners of the older model Jordan cars.
 This statement which has caused so much discussion and conjecture on the part of the public was simply an expression from the Jordan organiza- tion us to their opinion of the present model Jordan car, According to its manufacturer, the current model Jor- dan Is at least twice as good in near ly every respect as the models which were turned out by the factory prior to 1923. Owners of the old model Jordans. cars which were themselves famed for their long life and depend- ability, are finding it hard to believe that any factory, not excepting Jor- dan. could produce a car much bet ter than their old ones.
 But Jordan says that 1t Is true, that the present model is worth fully twice as much as the older ones. not In the point of dependability alone, but in appearance, finish, economy and comfort as well. Jordan is call ing his car of today two hundred thousand- mile car. He is building a car which, if properly cared for, will actually deliver this mileage to it's owner. The Jordan has always up held it's reputation for exceptionally long life and the factory believes the present car will add another chapter to their record for building great value into their prodIAt

could drive before entering the uni- versity, according to report, but all are now safe and efficient drivers, who are fully capable of making any ordinary repairs to their cars.
 This example from Louisiana is one that might well be followed by women throughout the land This motor school and several similar schools in other sections, have proved beyond a doubt that women can un- derstand the motor car and manage 1t as well as man, but they cannot do so without knowing its work ings.
 Naturally a woman who has a good knowledge of her car enjoys motoring more. She has no fear of mechanical troubles for she under stands just what adjustments to make when necessary. She under stands the necessity of fabrication at regular intervals and has it at tended to.
 "Then. too, she saves the men of the family from worrying about her when out for days trip in the car. If she has studied auto mechanics, probably she knows more about the car than they do.
 The woman takes care in keeping the new car new. That means keep ing the finish bright and clean. lubricating properly and tightening when needed. The woman graduate of the motor school feels it time well spent to do these things. Her car Is the envy of the neighborhood and is a continual source of pride.'

 SALES MANAGER
Former EnSIey Man Takes New Place With Stevens
 Motor Company

Owing to our large increase in volume" says Frank Stevens of the Stevens Motor company, incorpo- rated, Chevrolet dealers, I've have been forced to acquire additional fa- cilities in the way of enlargement of our floor space and additional per sonnel. We have just taken on as sales manager, MT. J. H. Mcbride, formerly connected with the J. c. Barrett Motor company in Ensley. MT. Mcbride Is not only familiar with the automobile business in general but has had experience in handling the sales end that peculiarly fits him for his new position. Our sales force now consists of eight men of the very highest type and more will be added as needed to adeql ately cover the territory. We also recently &C., quired a competent parts specialist in the person of MT. R. L. Merrell, and are now in position to furnish efficient service in this department.
 Chevrolet is now building cars at the rate of about 2,000 a day Snd from all indications there will be no let-up in the demand for economical transportation, especially in the im- mediate Birmingham district.
 With four dealers and over fifty service stations in Jefferson county furnishing genuine Chevrolet parts and service. we feel that the own CTS of Chevrolets will be taken care of in the manner they have a right to expect"

SOUTHERN WOMEN BECOME EXPERT MOTOR MECHANICS
Six Are Among Class Given Course At Louisiana State University
 Automobile School During Summer

"The south has awakened to the needs of good roads in order to share the many advantages of motor trans portation," says E. c. Greet of the D. & s. Motor company, local dealer In Durant and Star cars. and at the same time southern women have seen the necessity of a thorough knowl- edge of motor cars and their care.
 "A fine example of this was shown at Baton Rouge, capital of Louisiana, this summer, when among a class of 40 students at the Louisiana State university automobile school. six were women. Five of them completed the course, and so great was their benefit that next season will see the class much larger.
 "The women took the regular course In motor mechanics and driv- ing. This consisted of lectures and practical work in oVerhauling old cars of many makes. Among the sub jects most considered are adjustment care and fabrication of running gear, transmission system, adjustment of bearings and axles; motor assembly, repair and adjustment, grinding setting and adjusting valves. types of ignition, care of tires, systematic location of motor troubles.
 The course was originally in- tended to train students without high school credits to be expert mechanics but many married women, who drive cars, have become interested in 1t, with the result that its benefits are greater than originally expected.

THIRTY NASH CARS SOLD IN MONTH
Mccormack Brothers Find Demand Exceeding Supply
 For Popular Car

Since the new model Nash has been announced, Mccormack Broth~ CTS Motor company is finding it hard to get enough cars to supply the demand for this popular brand.
 The new model is meeting with great favor everywhere, the car hay ing been improved very much, in- deed, over the previous models. New features of equipment have been added and the various models are being produced now in new and at- tractive colors. The car Is a better performer than the former models and it is evident that the factory, although its production facilities have been increased recently, will not be able to supply Nash dealers with as many cars as they need.
 Bill" Pape. sales manager at Mo Cormack Brothers, has been trying for several weeks to get an increased allotment of Nash cars from the fac- tory. Bill states that the thrilled orders on Nash are getting ahead of deliveries, although he has already delivered more new model Nashes than any other distributor in the entire south, a record of which he may well be proud.
 According to Bill, fair business policies and good service. plus the Nash car itself, are al lit takes to sell them. This must be true, for over 30 new Nash cars have already gone

TIRE MAN FINDS DAYS ARE BUSY
Mccormack Brothers Have Big Demand On 0IdfieId'
 And FirestoneS

Roy Kay is finding every day a busy one as manager of the tire de- partment at Mccormack Brothers. All records for volume business have been broken this month, both in solid and pneumatic tires.
 Roy Is passing out Firestone and Oldfield tires these days and he finds they are the best ever The Old field has been attracting lot of at tention by virtue of the remarkably low price at which Mccormack Brothers have been selling them. Ex- ceptionally good values have been of fered the public in these tires and sales have been heavy. The Fire stone needs no introduction to the motoring public, being one of the old standard lines which has always ranked high in the industry. Fire stone has gained a very enviable place in public esteem bX never rais- ing its price except as a last resort and always reducing prices as soon as possible.

Won Case in West Virginia Court

Attorney E. R. Jones attended court
at Petersburg, West Va, on Tuesday
of this week, at which time Judge
Valentine rendered decision in the
case of the estate of W. H. Thinner
man VS.. d. E. Meyer, which case is of
interest to a number of people in Dis
tricts and s, where the parties to
the suit reside. The case involved the
sum of $500 and grew out of the
cashing at the First National Bank of
Gormania by the defendant, D. E.
Meyer, of a check for this sum pur-
porting to have been signed by w. H.
Zimmerman about week before his
death. Believing that the situation
demanded an investigation, the ad-
ministratOrs of the estate, Benjamin
H. and Meade Friend, through their
attorney, Mr.. Jones, took out an at
tachment in West Virginia and tied
up $1,000 of the proceeds of the check
in the Gormania and Bayard banks.
Testimony was later taken in the case
and the matter came up for final de-
termination on Tuesday when Judge
Valentine rendered decision in favor
of the plaintiffs and held that the de-
PENDANT, d. f. Meyer, would have to
return to the estate the full amount
obtained on the check, together with
the costs of the case. Associated with
Mr.. Jones in the trial of the case in
West Virginia were Messrs. F. M.
Reynolds, of Keyser, and L. J. For
man, of Petersburg. Mr.. D. E. Cup
petit, of Thomas, represented the de-
PENDANT, Meyer.
