were sold at retail, while in Minne- apolis, 20 retail sales were made dur ing the first two hours of the show, one salesman selling six cars.
 At tho Chicago automobile show, all sales records were broken.
 At the conclusion of this show, President A. o. Barber of Overland Motor company. the Chicago branch of the Willys- Overland company, an- nounced that the entire Chicago City Dealers association sold at retail 519 cars which Is remarkably strong ap- proval on the part of the public, of the new line of models introduced in January by the Willys- Overland.
 An interesting feature of this Chi cago record is the performance of R. A. Limbaugh of the Central Gar wood. Ill.,, a suburb of Chicago. Dur ing the Chicago show week, MT. Lind baugh sold 45 cars at retail. which amounted to 75 per cent of his 1923 car quota.
 That same week, David Gordon, one of the dealers operating under the Chicago branch, ordered an entire trainload of Willys- Overland cars, which were delivered under strenu- ous circumstances; owing to weather conditions at that time,. when train traffic was badly tied up.
 To aid dealers, in making immedi- ate deliveries of cars, a special train of seven Pullmans was chartered dur

WHITMAN FLOYD OPENS NE w , USED| CAR PLACE ON AVE Fl
Nash Dealers Open Show Rooms on Avenue F, Near TWenty-Second
 Street

The Whitman Floyd Motor com pany. distributors of the Nash, have opened a new sales department ex- clusively for used. cars. The new To- cation Is 22OS Avenue F. MT. Wag.- ner, now in charge of the new place, states that a large volume of busi- ness has already commenced and he prophesizes still greater increase for this month to come. Owing to the terms and small down payment, Mir. Wagner states that they are now in a position to take care of every body, regardless of the size of their pocketbook. The type of cars now being handled by Whitman-Floyd guarantee satisfaction. according to the used car sales manager. this be- ing q great asset for larger volume in the fture.
 The spacious salesroom and con venient location are all in favor oi the company. Also, the special at tention given all used cars by the staff of efficient mechanics who work on nothing but exchanged cars Quality and low prices will do the rest, according to MT. Floyd himself these features being an old-estab- lished habit of the already we'll known company.

ing the Chicago show and 479 men were taken to Toledo. to drive back like number of cars.
 Simultaneously, the Willys-Over- land company of Chicago placed an order for 1.142 cars, which will take care of immediate deliveries by deal CTS in Chicago territory. While the New York branch of Willys-Overland sold 230 cars at retail, during the Grand Central Palace show, and con stituted record for the metropoli- tan area of New York city.
 Chicago surpassed New York and more than doubled that record
 This is wonderful showing con- sidering the disagreeable weather conditions which prevailed while the Chicago show was in progress. Toledo Raises Mark.
 In the home town of the Wfllys- Overland company at Toledo, O., some exceptional automotive merchandis- ing was accomplished during the early part of the year, which only proves that Toledoans have every confidence in their home product.
 In one and a half months time the Toledo branch sold b72 cars at retail. which total set up a new high water mark in auto sales, for like period. Nothing like this has ever before been done by the home branch.
 In 1922, the retail sales of the To- ledo branch totaled 1925. and from this figure it will be seen that in about one-tenth of the time Toledo has registered about third of the 1922 sales substantial evidence that this year will greatly excel all pre- vious years in the history of the Toledo branch.
 Dealers are enthusiastic over the 1923 models and notable activity on the Pacific coast has resulted in several trainloads of Overland and Willys- knght cars being sent through to Los Angeles with all speed.
 On January 25 a trainload of 42 cars of 0verlands and Willys- Knights left Toledo, arriving in Los Angeles on January 30, making the run in seven days flat.
 The prediction was made late in 1922 by executives of the Willys- Overland company that 1923 would prove to be an outstanding year for the company.
 lated to increase and speed up pro- duction at the Toledo factory, and from the beginning of the year, demand from dealers and consumers of automotive transportation has been so persistent that there is not a shadow of doubt but what the 1923 plans will be amply justified.
 Sales to date prove this, as shown in a review of situation just pre- scented.

GOVERNMENTS MOVIE IS READY TO START SOUTH

WASHINGTON, March S.-"Mollie of Pine Grove Vat" the governments latest motion picture thriller. is about ready to start southward on a tour of regions in many of which motion pie lures never have been seen. De- signed for use as preliminary weapon in combating the cattle fever tick in the south, the film presents well plotted human interest story showing the misguided opposition often encountered by government and state agents in freeing the south of ticks, and the good results that fol- low eradication of the pest.
 It will go out In a motion picture truck of the department of agri- cultures bureau of animal industry for nightly stands in the ckinfested territory and also will be circulated through the film distribution system through which the department is edu- eating the public.

BLUE DEVIL BLUE IN
 ALL OF JORDAN TYPES

The Jordan car, famous for its long life and reliability, may now be had in the new Blue Devil blue, re- gardless of which body typo is pre- ferred, according to P. R. McCor- mack of Mccormack Brothers Motor company.
 This attractive color called Blue Devil blue was introduced recently as the standard color on the Jordan Blue Boy. a sport car of original and pleasing design. However, the de- mand for this shade of blue imme- diately grew to such proportions that the factory was forced to pro- vide all model open and closed cars in the same color scheme used on the Blue Boy.
 Many orders for spring delivery are being placed with Mccormack Brothers for Jordans, and those who are interested in this extraordinary car had best place their orders at once if they are not to be disap- pointed.

He got out in front in the early days of February and never was headed, crossing the tape pulled up' Frank says that the secret of his success Is the strength of his merchandise-the Buick car. Be this as 1t may, Franks personality and popularity have a great deal to do with his high mark in the sales column. Frank is pass ing around the tip these days that prices on Buick cars are likely to advance, but this has not been au- thanticated, but it's a pretty good sales argument at that,

Hidden qualities largely determine the value and life of closed car.
 Beauty of line and 6nish and refine ments are surface indications and inn portant ones. But your satisfaction with a closed car depends to great degree upon factors that arc unseen the in-built qualities that come from correct design, use of highest grade materials and careful workmanship.
 It is impossible to get more out of a car than the maker has built into it.
 The 23 series Studebaker Light-Sn Sedan is a quality car. It is built to endure-to give lasting satisfaction. Both body and chassis are produced in Studebaker plants where painstahng craftsmanship has always been the rule and the practice. And Studebaker has been building quality vehicles for sev- enty-one years.

NEW PEERLESS |S FINDING FAVOR OF sCAREFU u BUYERS
Bill Pape Says It Appeals to People Who Can Afford to Buy the
 Best

The readiness with which the new Peerless has been accepted by the leading peope everywhere is an in- dication that the Peerless company has succeeded in their policy of producing the Peerless Eight express ly for those people who desire good taste and indiv iduality in their mo- tor cars.
 The Peerless is a car of unsur- passed beauty and performance and seems to appeal particularly to peo- pie, who, being initiated much, must exercise rare judgment when they buy. There Is something about this car which seems to compel the ad- miration of every lower of fine things.
 Bill Pape, sales manager at Me Cormack Brothers. believes that the unusual charm of the new Peerless is a direct result of the knowledge that the Peerless is not, and nev- CT will become a common car.
 You may have noticed," explains Bill, that the Peerless presents its greatest appeal to people who are used to the finest possessions which money can buy. This is true because it Is manufactured to meet their every requirement. and has the origi- nality and character to attract such people.
 Tt is fact that nearly every owner of the Peerless is a person who has made a success of life both socially and in a business way. This has given it a prestige which places it far in the lead of the more com mon cars
