outperforE the old four famous as
that car was, declares Mr.. Steinhardt.
The new Essex is smoother, quiete,,
more economical by far. a better
climber and faster in pickup. In
every day usefulness it is a far SUI
perior product.
This fact has actually surprised
me considering the price reduction. 1t
has oaly been possible because the
Hudson engineers have found a way
TO produce extraordinary performing
results by new methods at reduced
costs.
a good many of our Essex -four
owners thought they had the finest
car in the world for performance AMI
endurance. They were a most loyal
and enthusiastic body of owners. But
we can show even them that the new
Essex six is an advancement.
with spring weather here we look
for the customary rush of motor car
purchasers. Because our speciality Is
enclosed cars we have sold steadily
through the winter and we have been
unable to lay IN an excess stock. We
are calling TO the factory for every
car we can get, and we shall make
every effort to supply our purchasers
with prompt deliveries both in the
Hudson and in the immensely popu-
lar new Essex six.
There is every reason for motor
car buyer to get his order in immc-
diately. Delay may simply mean that

CAR SHOULD BE
INSPECTED AFTER
EVERY 1000 MILES
This Is Part of Free Service
Which Goes With Every
Nash Here.

Nash service manager Dick Mount
joy, believes in following up each
Nash car. He is well qualified for
the position which he holds, as he has
had years of experience in handling
automobiles both as factory represen-
tative, and as service manager for
large automobile concerns.
Mr.. Mountjoy does not believe in
waiting until the owner of Nash
automobile feels that his car needs
attention. To receive the best service
out of any automobile it should be
thoroughly inspected by an expert at
approximately every 1000 miles Of
running, he says. This is part Of the
free service which goes with e1ery
Nash automobile.
Often times the owner Of Rotor
car will not pay any attention 70
some small noise but will continue to
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-30

run and punish his car until that
small noise develops into quite an
expensive job. Whereas, if he had
taken the car and had it inspected ut
once it would have only meant few
minutes work and his motor would
have been as it should be.
Another consideration which the
Nash owners have received for tho
last five years is that Nash car
is never worked on in our shop with
out the tenders, cowl and seats being
covered with heavy ducking which
prevents the mechanic from getting
grease on the car. This ducking is
laundried regularly, being kept nice
and clean at all times. 1t is such as
this that has made Mr.. Mountjoy so
popular with all Nash users.

Motor Market in Turkey.

German corn shelters have been used
for a number of years along the Black
Sea coast. which is the corn growing
section of Turkey. However, there is
no apparent reason why American
shelters could not be introduced. The
market for motor driven grist mills
and grinding machines offers oppor-
tunities for large sales. Few windmills
are used. Threshers intended for sale
in Turkey must have 'bruiser' at
tachment to cut up the straw finely
At present English and Czechoslovak
machines are preferred to American
ihreshnrs

ESSEX SALES THIS
YEAR BEING DOUBLED
REPORTS STEINHARDT
Among Causes Is That New
Essex Will Out-perform
the Old "Four."

Twice as many Essex cars are now
being sold than last year, according
to information reaching William
Steinhardt Of the Crockett Automobile
Company, distributor for Hudson and
Essex cars. This word from the Hud-
son Motor Car company declares the
new Essex six is meeting the most
enthusiastic reception Of any car ever
sponsored by Hudson.
The schedules of production for the
Essex six were originally set at twice
the number of cars made in 1923. but
these schedules have proved too small,
it is declared, and the Hudson Motor
Car company is now bending every
effort to produce every Essex six pos
sble in its plant.
81 believe this is because the new
Essex has proved that it will actually

Nearly 1O0,O00,000 passengers were
carried last year by motor buses in
Newark, according to estimates by
Joseph Crawford, supervisor of trans
portation, based on the amount Of
gross receipt taxes paid into the city
treasury. Up to November 30 a total
of SS.GJ0.000 passengers had been
carried. This was approximately H.
100000 more than the total for 1922.
There are $50 busses in operation. The
trolley strike boosted the total fares.

The johnson Supply Company al
Third and North Alamo streets, which
is the Oldsmobile distributor here,
went over the car and all that was
done was to adjust the valve tappefs
and tighten the front bumper.
Mr.. Widener signed a statement to
this effect and handed 1t to the Olds-
mobile distributors saying: '"The pub

this is"

ATLANTA TRUST COMPANY
HAS BIG TOBACCO FARM

Out near Ambrose, $50 acres are be-
ing planted in tobacco by a colony
OF North Carolinians, who have been
settled on the land by the Atlanta
Trust Co. About fifteen families came
from the Tar Heel State, experienced
tobacco growers, who will demon
strate the value of these lands in the
Wiregrass section for the culture of
tobacco.
T. NJ Thompson, who is the farm
superintendent for the company. is
said to be highly pleas ed with the
prospects and is of the opinion that
South Georgia will in time become
the Bright Tobacco center. According
to this authrity the lands and climate
hereabouts are ideally suited to this
crop, when farmed by intelligent la
Dor versed in the various phases of
tobacco culture. The experiment of
the Atlanta Trust Company is watch
ed with a great deal of interest by
local land owners who are still skep-
teal about the tobacco industry in
this section.

B. & A. secured the town for man
fitting the description given by the

Main street, where he resides with
his wife and one child.
Being brought to the bedside of the
child at her mothers home, she readi-
ly identified and picked lGaskin as
the man from about dozen who were

Firemen Bring Cheer
To The Children

Chief Wilkerson and his staff have
been busy building and painting play
ground equipment for the Fireman's
Park at the City Hall and the little
ones will rejoice in the use of the var
ious devices constructed for their own
special benefit by the popular fire
lads.
Among them are beautiful Venetian
boat swings, see-saws, athletic equip
ment, etc. All this work has been a
labor OF love on the part of the fire
boys, who enjoy doing these things for
the children Some of their handiwork
is also in evidence at each of the
Ward schools, where the children
spend their recess play time.
The City Hall play ground will be
opened for the use of the children Sat-
urday and no doubt many will come
to visit that popular park.

McAdoo's Chance Is To
Abolish TlUo Thirds Rule
Will Go Into Convention With AS
Many AS The Taggart-Brennan-
Murphy Combination.

Written Specially for The Leader
By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD
Through Aptocaster Service)
WASHINGTON, April 10-Accord-
ing to information just received here
from reliable resources, William Gibbs
McAdoo's forces have IN mind plans
which, if it be found wise to put in
operation, will give the bosses" of
the Democratic National Convention
the surprise of their lives.
McAdoo will enter the convention
with more delegates pledged to his
candidacy than any other aspirant for
the nomination, possibly with as high
as forty per cent of the delegates
pledged to support him, at his present
rate of winning primaries.
If this continues, then McAdoo will
be in a strong position, quite as strong
in fact, as Murphy, Brennan and Tag
CART. His power to throw a monkey
wrench in the machinery will be
quite equal with others. The only
point is, can he keep it there, or will
the old-timers be able to steal his
strength and flatten him out.
The deciding factor, OF course, will
be the uninstructed delegates, and it
will be in that arena that the real
circus performance will take place. The
issue will rest on the ability of the
McAdoo managers to trade more
skillfully than Murphy, Brennan and
Taggart.
McAdoo, of course, recognizes the
fact that neither Wall Street nor
tn, l., AZ.
quently he will face bitter opposition
from New York. He knows too that
under the two-thirds rule he has
scarcely a chance to land the nomi-
nation under any circumstances. How
ever, if he can manage to gain stuff
icient additions to his backing from
among the uninstructed delegates to
total IS per cent of the votes, there
is little doubt that before the voting
begins the proposal will be made to
abrogate the two-thirds rule and to
permit a majority vote to decide the
nomination.
The convention by majority vote
can abolish the two-third rule.
If that fight be won, then the nom
ination of McAdoo is practically a
certainty.
The master card will be played al
the convention.
If the two-third rule prevails, then
the Taggart- Murphy Brennan forces
will block McAdoo and in turn, Nc
Adoo will have sufficient delegates tc
block their candidate with the conse.
quent result that "dark-horse" would
be nominated.
Buy in Fitzgerald! It's cheaper anc
ba4ka.

CITY'S WATER
TESTED, PROVEN
AS BEST EVER

= A report received from the State
Board of Health by DR.. L. S. Os-

gives the analytic status. of our citv
water as practically entirely free Of
bacteria. The deep well did contain
no bacteria whatever, the tap at the
A. B.. & A. only 8 and the standpipe
only 50. This is by far the best report
on ,our, drinking water supply ever
made by the State Health Depart
ment
Credit for this condition is due
largely to the better conditions Gre
ated around the Water and Light
plant eliminating entirely the form
er unsanitary surroundings at the
plant and the regular INSPECTION of
our water supply by the city health
department.
