The Cynics were a sect of Grecian
philosophers, founded by A%ntisthenes
about 396 B. c, The Cynics We're noted
for their morose and gloomy views of
life for their disregard of all sciences,
save that of morality and for their
contempt for the ordinary convention

rived either from Cynosarges, the
place where Artisthenes taught; or
from Navinos (Gr., doglikel, in allu-

The reconstruction of the Maxwell

10 all who follow motor car design, but
that such astonishing financial prog

"The profits Of the Maxwell Cor

year. On December 81, 1922, cash
and cash security balances were in
excess of S3.000,000 with a ratio Of
current assets to current liabilities
of approximately IL to 1. The

Gross Registration Revenue

to $152,647,823.

Figures complied by the Bureau of
Public Roads at Washington place the
total number of motor vehicles in the
United States during 1922 at 1925
$50 cars. They were divided as fol-
lows: Passenger cars, 10,S90. III ;
taxicabs and buses, 69,150: motor
trucks. 1,27S,S04. In addition there
were 1S2,714 motorcycles and 29.32S
trailers. The increase over 1921
represented 1.775,0S0, a percentage
considerably in ecess Of. the annual
increase for the preceding five years,
which averaged 100000. -
A comparison Of the truck registra-
ton figures with those for the preced-
ing year shows an increase of so per
cent. indicating that this phase of
highway transport is undergoing rapid
development. This is not confined to
industrial sections. Such agricultural
states as Virginia, Indiana and
Florida show increases Of SO per
cent, 80 per cent and 20 per cent.
respectively, which suggests that
many farmers are changing their
method of hauling as a result Of road
improvement.
The total gross registration revenue
amounted to S152, G47, 1913. Of which
$117 ,093, 116 was applied to road
work under the supervision of the
state highway departments. Eighteen
states taxed gasoline, deriving a rev.

While the Odds Motor Works OF

passenger cars for nearly 26 years,
last month was the biggest March the
company has ever experienced in point
of passenger car shipments, accord
ing to c. Chsddick of the Chaddick
Automobile company, local Oldsmobile

"Records of the company show that
the demand has been unprecedented
for this time Of the year and exceeded
even 1920 when all factories were
working overtime to produce every
car possible" said Mr.. Chaddick.
The shipments show that it is a
significant fact that while 1922 was
the biggest year the automobile in
dustry has known, the demand did Tot
warrant capacity production until
much later than this year.

HUPMOBILE SALES
/ FOR FIRST QUARTER
ESTABLISH RECORD
March Business Greatest of
Any Month in Hupp
/. History. ~

Sales Of Hupmobiles the country
over for the first three months of
1873, were nearly double those for
the best previous quarter; materially
exceeded those for the record three
months business Of April, May and
June, 1922, and March sales were the
greatest of any single month in the
fifteen years of the Hupp Motor Car
Corporations history.
According to Tom Little, manager
of the Burton-Lary Motor Company,
local Hupp distributors, this record is
Indicative of the tremendous, demand
over the country for motor cars manu-
featured by the older and more firm
ly established motor car companies.
"Hupmobile sales for the first quar-
ter of 1928 totaled 12,034 cars of the
10000 scheduled TO be produced in
1923, compared with $3.50 for the first
three months of 1922, and 1920 for
Z April, May and June, 1922" said Mr..
vIittle. "March sales were 1924,
eclipsing the former record Of June,
1922, by more than 1000 cars. Ex-
port sales for the first quarter were
the greatest since the latter part of
1920. the best export period in Hupp's
history.
"March sales were actually above
the production limits of the corpora
ton, and exceeded 5000 cars only be-
cause orders which should have been
shipped in February had to be held
over into March, due to the inability
of the railroads to furnish sufficient
freight cars for shipment.
"Sales of Hupmobiles in each Of
the first three months this year were
considerably greater than for the
largest previous corresponding month
in the corporations history. Janu-
cry sales more than doubled those OF
the best previous January. Febru-
airy sales were 15S per cent of those
of the greatest previous February and
March business was 100 per cent of
that for March. 1922, the largest
month in Hupp history up to that
time.
.-The 1923 Hupmobile is far and
away the most popular car We have
ever sold. The factory is literally
swamped with orders. Hupmoble dis
tributors and dealers are enjoying
such record business throughout the
country that the Hupp Motor Car
Corporation has been compelled, in
fairness to each of them. to inform
them that for the next several months
it can deliver to them only the cars
their contracts call for"
