Reports received at the Paige De-

that dealers have been delighted at
the big reception given the new

finements in their show-rooms they
were flooded in many cities with
crowds of visitors.
In this city, the Lee Doud Motor

provements in the new Jewett. such
as the new and larger brake drums

1 had often heard that William

the opportunity to get into this

whenever you like; but be sure to
bring plenty OF grub with you.' he
returned.

Streeper likes better than anything

out on the shady back parch with

magazine in his hand. and was read

as bright almost as the child's. and
his memory just as keen. The only

ish steamer Otterburn just after the
vessel left here for New York yes

ton and benZine.
Tugs from this port towed the
