lar place this year for everyone COM
ing to the fair. The display is one
that has never before been equalled
at the Waterville fair. Coming into
the tent from the northern end one
views an exhibit of fine motor cars
that is worth spending hours TO IN
spect. While the touring models are
popular they are closely followed by
the closed cars and sport models.
The favorite colors seemed to be
black, blue or deep maroon. Several
of the models show a marked change
from the exhibits of year ago.
Among the most noticeable are the
Bucks with their mex hoods ana
four wheel brakes, the Studebakers'
with the 1924 display and the Nash's
with several new tours and SKIES. A
remarkably handsome car at the low
err end Of the tent is the Wescott.
The Mack trucks drew much atten-
ton. They are powerful machines
with a special lumberman's chassis.
The Hudson-Essex display is a
good one. Special interest is shown
in the Essex coach that is stripped
of it's paint and upholstery showing
the solid build and fine cushion
springs.
The Franklin Service has several
neat cars on exhibition, and this part
of the tent proved popular all day
yesterday.
At the lower end of the tent the
Chevrolet models were on display

has made a drastic change in body
lines during the past year and this
change has made this make even
more popular than before for mod
crate priced car.
The Maxwell cars are remarkably
trim appearing and according to re.
ports have plenty of pep Several
models were on exhibition at the
head of the tent
The new Dodge was the object or
much admiring scrutiny throughout
the day. The Dodge is another car
that has suddenly come onto the
market an entirely different looking
car from the models made by TINS

spring has improved the riding quail
ties of the Dodge to a marked de-
gree.

tinct types were exhibited, the sedan
and the speed wagon.
Among the new cars to be seen at
the fair for the first time this year
were the Star models. These light

within a short time and are made
by the same company that makes
