DEALERS FROM MANY
STATES WILL ATTEND
CHICAGO CONVENTION
Trend Toward AutomotiOe
Department Stores to
Be Discussed.

Chicago. Jan. 2O.-The trend toward
automotiye department stores rs one
of the tendencies in the automobile field
will be broadly discussed by Harry
Upper of New York, economist who
heads the research division of the Class
Journal Company. in his lecture on Flu
ture Tendencies in Automobile Merchan-
diSng." feature of the program for the
Sixth Annual Convention Of the Nation
al Automobile Dealers Association, in
Chicago. January 27-30. Mr.. Upper
has made a broad study Of the develop
ments in automotive retailing and his
address will deal with the facts as he
finds them.
"The automobile dealers future will
depend upon the way in which he can
organize himself to grow as big as the
business" says Mr.. Upper. "lf retail
ers in other lines do any considerable
amount of business in the autOmotive
field. it will be because the autOmOtive
retailer has not grown TO the neceSsl'
ties and responsibilities of this business
and has not been able to keep pace with
its requirements.
'The departmentalized dealer is the
dealer who, through the organization oil
departments serves lilc NusNbAANA 10
most of his needs. 1t represents in the
nutomotive field the same type OF bust
ness as is represented by the depart
ment store in the dry goods field.
"The specialized dealer is one who de-
votes his attention TO a particular
branch Of the business and does not at
tempt to cover any other. The retailer
in the automotive field must decide to
become either one or the Other-depart-
mentalized or specialized. His success
in doing this will depend partly upon
the conditions in his locality and partly
upon his capacity to analyze and inter
pref these conditions in the light OF his
own possibilities"

Texas receives more federal aid for
highway construction than any other
state in the Union. This is because I
has the greatest area and the greatest
road mileage. Why should Texas be so
far down on the list in this matter of
license fees for motor cars? Ought not
the opposite be true, and should not
Texas be near the top of the list? The
people of Texas should ask themselves
these questions when considering the
fact that there is danger that federal
mid will be cut off in Texas and there
is a pressing necessity to raise state
revenue for the building and mainten-
ance of state highways.
"The Texas Highway Association,
among other things, is urging upon the
legislature the necessity of incrc~ sing
motor license fees. The figures quoted
above show that it is a reasonable re-
quest. We must build a system Of state
highways in Texas. The federal gov
eminent is willing to pay half the cost.
Texas should not hesitate TO pay the
other half, inasmuch as the federal gov
