Closed Peerless Cars Gain In Popularity, Says
 Bill Pape

The trend toward closed car models is evidently more noticeable in the heavy car field than in the field of light, popular priced cars.
 In discussing the relative popularity of closed models among the various price classes, "BilP' Pape, sales man ager at Mccormack Brothers, re- marked as follows:
 Our closed car business on Peer less cars has been exceptionally good all summer. Usually the summer m onths are considered & dull season for closed cars, but this year there has been no decrease in the demand for the closed Peerless.
 Every succeeding year brings about a natural and noticeable move ment of the closed car into public favor. However, I do not see how Peerless enclosed models can become much more popular, as we have for the past year sold practically the same number of open and closed Peer less cars. This speaks well for the Peerless, for 1t indicates that the Peerless chassis has ample power for the closed bodies and that the bodies themselves, which are made by Fisher are highly satisfactory with a discriminating and exacting class of owners"

CITY MOTOR TRAFFIC
 GETTING OUT OF BOUNDS

Ten fundamental facts will mako the movement of traffic impossible in the business sections of 50 Ameri- can cities within five years time, unless these facts are immediately recognized.
 Here they are, according to Ed ward S. Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor Car company.
 1. Four million automobiles. add ed to ten million in use one year ago, will be augmented by the pro auction of more than four million in 1924.

 8. Every old Fashioned bulky car owned and driven by father, will be replaced by at least three motor cars.

My hair is the envy of thousands who see it, on the stage and elsewhere. It is heavy, silky, lustrous-far finer than 40 years ago. I have never had falling hair or dandruff, never touch of gray. Yet my age is 62.

 Use an eye dropper
 I call this formula my Hair Youth One applies it with an eye dropper, di- rectly to the scalp. Apply just enough to dampen the scalp. This takes but a minute and it does not muss the hair.
 It attacks the hardened oil and dan druff, which stifle the hair roots. It cleans the scalp, stimulates and fer tilizes. The hair flourishes as flowers thrive in a well-kept garden.

By spending a dollar in this way I can save many dollars in repair bills I have confidence In the right kind of jeweler and In the right kind of automobile man.
 It is hard ito tell the individual owner that he has abused his car either directly or by inference. Yet survey of 30,00o repair orders showed that 73 per cent of the cost of the repairs came from abuse in some form-either from neglect or from improper handling.
 Regular inspections by competent organizations will mean less yearly maintainance expense for the owner. Ten or twelve days year devoted to this preventative factoring" Is al- most sure to mean lss days out of the year in the repair shop.

HEAVY CLOSED CARTBIRMINGHAN TIRE' GAINS IN FAVOR HAS BIC DEMAND
Factory Is Gaining Speed And Distribution Covers
 Whole South

There's a hum of industry out at the new Birmingham Tire and Rub her company factory where the Bir- mingham cord is made. The grind of the big ruber mill is noticeable even out in the street and many interested spectators stop to peer in the win dows to see the big rolls turn out raw ruber and watch the course of the materials to the finished tire.
 The Birmingham cord Is finding ready sale in all parts of the south Dallas, Texas, reports a splendid de- mand and all points where distribu- tion has been arranged find that the tire wins a welcome and makes friends through it's merit.
 The local store. Murray Tire com pany, on Avenue B and Twenty-first street, reports a good demand for the Birmingham cord here and difficulty is experienced In keeping a stock on hand that will provide all sizes.
 Production at the factory Is stead fly increasing, according to W. F. Tidyman. production manager, and 1t is only question of short time when capacity production will be reached and present indications are that the demand will take care of the entire output of the present fac tory.

PREFERENCE CLEVELAND MOTORISTS
Demand Has Been Large In Recent
 Months

In Cleveland. the home of tho Peerless Motor Car company. where all it's cars have always been built, motorists have for some time mani- fested a strong preference for the Peerless car.
 This has been the case for years. Rut since the organization headed by R. H. Collins assumed the manage ment of the company two years ago. and introduced the present models in September, 1922, this preference has grown even stronger than before, ac- cording to registration figures. Dur ing several recent months. the de- mand for Peerless cars has been so large in Cleveland that they have outsold not only every automobile In their own field, but those of every other make selling for s1,80 or more, registration figures also show.

PreUentatiUe Doctoring

"A stitch in time saves nine."
 This old saying applies to automo- piles. Few owners seem to realize it. Hundreds of thousands of del lars have been spent by manufactu- rers and dealers on instruction books and other forms of information, in an attempt to convince owners of automobiles that proper care of their cars will reduce repair bills.
 The auto mobile may be mon essen tfal," but no one wants to give 1t up long enough to have 1t repaired when it. needs it-much less to have tt looked after when 1t Is working.
 One of the hardest types of owner to deal with in the repair department ts the man who takes good care of his car" Some do-Cf course. But comparatively few owners do every thing which should be done regularly to keep the car entirely fit and pre- vent repair bills. If they did repair business would fall off from 50 to 75 per cent. The chief trouble Is lack of fabrication.
 The man who keeps up the level in the crank case and keeps the grease cups filled, has only gone part way. Few men will get into oyeralls and spend an entire morning doing real oiling job.
 Very often the man who honestly thinks ne LdKeb EOO0 CAlo OL ms car" naturally feels that 1t Is not his fault when something goes wrong.
 Few cars are lowed in because of faulty engineering. Something has usually been neglected if there Is trouble. Perhaps a spring breaks Proper care of that spring would have prevented 1t. Brake adjustments are often made necessary because proper care has not been taken of the bands-or too much oil has been used.
 Thinking repair men know that most effects have cause. Much thought Is being given to such things by repair men all over the country. Their study Is resulting in better selling methods.
 Most people seem to have the idea that a watch never runs right after jewelr has repaired It. One night in Los Angeles the main spring Of my watch broke as l wound It. The next day I dropped in to 1ewelry store.
 My watch needs a new main spring" l said. When can I get it?"
 The clerk surprised me. Could you leave 1t with us for an hour or so and let us see what the trouble is?" he asked.
 Broken main spring is the trou- ble," I told him. I was little peev- ish. You see-the owner wants to shoot the trouble"
 I was then treated to real job of selling Not only did this man sell me the why's and wherefore of the trouble inmy own watch but he Id me on confidence in the right kind of jewellers repair business.
 Main springs seldom break with out cause" he said. Inspection of material and temper is so rigid now a-days that defective spring sell dom gets into a good watch like yours. Unless we find the cause and correct 1t, the new main spring would break again and you would not feel kindly toward us It will take us a little time to look for the trouble
