Broadway, constructed especially for
its use. The company today, although
it is not yet two years old, employs
eighteen persons and does a volume of
busirS SIS equal to that done by some
of the older automobile concerns. Its
prospects for future business, Smith
says, are bright.
When he organized the Smith Motor
Sales Company, Smith says he imme-
diately adopted this policy: When SELL
ing car to show the customer that he
is getting the best on the market for
the money and that the dealers inter-
est in him shall not end with the sale,
but, on the other hand, assuring that,
If anything ever goes wrong with the
car. it Immediately shall be made good.
Smith never takes in a used auto
mobile in trade for a new one, that
cannot be sold at reasonable profit to
the firm. To do otherwise be holds
not TO be good business.
Smith, of course, believes he has the
best automobile on the American mara
ket. With great pride he points to
the fact that the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany, which is a division of the great
General Motors Corporation, this year
will build $4,000 automobiles, or
more than twice the number manufac-
tured last year. In many states, he
says, particularly on the Pacific coast,
Chevrolet is leading all other cars in
registration. He hopes this condition
soon will prevail in San Antonio.

TECHNICAL EXPERTS
ARE HIGH In PRAISE
. OF, THE NEW HUPP
Most Remarkable Car in
Glass;" Says Trade
Journal Writer.

Technical motor car experts who
have tested out the new Hupmobile
are high in their praise of its i'm
proved appearance and performing
qualities, as revealed by a day spent
in seeing the car manufactured and
giving it q thorough demonstration
from behind the wheel.
b. A. Tarantous, managing editor
Of Motor, said this, in part, in dis
cussing the car in that publication !:
National reputation for goodness
is founded on goodness and this has
been q Hupmobile quality for many
years. A day at the plant inspecting
the new four-cylinder chassis and a
reasonably long demonstration were
sufficiently convincing to enable me
to say unhesitatingly that Hupmo-
bile is the most remarkable car in
its class.
IL am fully satisfied with its per-
Torrance as TO speed-55 miles an
hour-hill climbing, acceleration,
braking ability; but I was more i'm
pressed with the increased power out
put and smoothness of the engine,
the extreme ease of gear shifting up
and down without the suggestion of
a clash, and the ease Of riding. All
these things have, of course, made
necessary some changes, and practi-
cally every unit of the car was af-
fected, more particularly the engine,
where numerous ones appear; the
clutch, which is a new type entirely /;
the frame, which is sitter and long
or; the springs, which are longer
front and rear; the wheel base, now
lis inches; and, to d minor degree,
the transmission system. Bodies
have new lines with a higher hood,
and they are much roomier.
Il must emphasize more strongly
the performance of this new model
with respect to its predecessor. In
the new Hupmobile the clutch pres
sure is even lighter, and l was able
to shift down with child-like effort
at any speed without noise. The
gear shift lever being longer and
closer to the right hand, makes driy-
ing still better.
"The engine is unusually smooth.
due to crankshaft, piston and rod
changes, and also because of these
changes, runs faster and gives more
power, all of which, l am sure, every
driver will at once notice. 1t seems
TO me, too, that with its better per-
formance qualities, the engine is
much quieter.'
j. Edward Schipper, Detroit repre-
sentative of the Glass Journal com
pany, publishers of Automotive In
dustries, Motor World and Motor
Age, wrote the following, in part, for
his company:
The engine has been refined to
increase its smoothness and power
output, and the car has been improv-
ed in appearance and riding qualities
by a three-inch increase in wheel base
with easier spring suspension. The
bodies are entirely new and, while
maintaining the Hupp characteristics.
have been altered considerably in ap-
pearance.
Although the bore and stroke of
the engine remain the same. a con-
siderable increase in output has been
obtained by the use of forged dural-
amin connecting rods and aluminium
alloy -pistons. These have material
ly reduced vibration and have had Il
noteworthy effect on the output at
higher speeds.

Roy Smith, president and general
manager Of the Smith Motor Sales
Company, Chevrolet dealers, sold auto
mobiles for the first time in 1916. For
many years prior he had cherished a
desire to get into the automobile bust
ness, but such an opportunity did not
present itself until January. 1916,
when the Jack W. Neal Auto Com
pany took on the agency for the Chey-
rolet shortly after its manufacture was
begun.
Somehow the automobile business
always held a particular fascination
for me-" said Smith. describing his
entry into the new field, much in the
same way, 1 suppose, as other bust
nesses and professions attract other
persons. l though l saw a great fu-
ture in the merchandising of motor
cars, and naturally l was overjoyed
when Mr.. Neal told me that he had
secured the Chevrolet franchise and
that 1 was to be one of his statesmen.
II cannot recall the very first sale
i made, but one of my early sales does
stand out wildly in my mind. That
was when l journeyed way down 10
Cotulla and then fifteen miles out into
the brush, through the deepest sand /
believe / ever encountered to sell a
ranchman a Chevrolet. This ranch
man proved a hard customer to sell,
but finally succeeded in closing with
him, but only after three days Of the
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-09-09

most convincing sales argument was
able TO advance. He would offer every
reason in the world why he should not
buy a car and l in turn would offer
every reason l could think of why he
should own one. In the end, as
said, / won. l not only got the cash
for the car, but induced the ranchman
to carry me to the station.
in the following several ronths, 1
made many such trips, some Of which
1 believe no statesmen today would
think of attempting. But 1 loved my
work and was therefore willing to en-
dure many hardsiNps. Once l heard
of prospect L held on to him Until /
finally sold him a car, even if necessi-
tated my travelling more than a hun
dred miles"
After several years OF successfully
selling Chevrolets, Smith was made
general manager Of the Jack W. Neal
Auto Company, position which he
held until November, 1922, when reluc-
family he left Mr.. Meals employ to
enter business for himself. The Smith
Motor Sales Company was organized
and temporary quarters were opened
on Romano street. Later the temper
airy quarters were removed to Avenue
D. pending the completion of a perma-
ment home on Avenue c.
Early in 1923, the Smith Motor
Sales Company occupied its handsome
new quarters at 517-19 Avenue G (now

"Insurance compa..ics don't guess.
They base their premiums on abso-

"As a matter of fact / expect to

the accident clause, but to other risks
that are reduced by this engineering
feature.
"The next step will be for the va

and brakes applied gently with clutch
engaged.
Four-wheel brakes, perfectly adjust
ed, eliminate skidding, but they must
be perfectly adjusted, and there is the
rub. Four-wheel brakes permit quicker
stopping, possibly in half. the length
required by two-wheel brakes, but this
advantage is of minor consequence ex-
cept to speeders, who after all are in
the minority. The operation of mo-
tor cars at very high speeds is al
ways dangerous, and most people
avoid it.
Studebaker is convinced that the
added weight, extra parts and in
creased friction resulting from four
wheel brakes have an adverse effect
upon the performance of the car, max
ing for poor aceleration, reduced hill
climbing ability and increased gasoline
consumption. As stated above. Stude-
baker engineers are continuing their
study of and experimenting with four
wheel brakes, but we are far from
convinced that they would improve
our cars. Studebaker two-wheel brakes
give all the braking power our cars
need.
