Stock PlaCards
at
Low Prices

II placard OF any kind is wanted
even one copy, print shop is obliged
to charge 85c therefor and at that
the work is done without profit OF
course IL five or more copies are re-
CURED, the printer can charge per-
.haps $3.50 and at that figure rea-
sonable profit results. This has led
to carrying in stock in some print
ing Offices of the placards most usually
wanted, and the independently Reporter
is gradually accommodating quite n
variety in this line. These placards
are chiefly 7x2e inches in size, altho
some OF them are what are known as
quarter sheets, 11x14 inches. or
course we print them in considerable
quantities and put them aside to sell
at retail as wanted, in any quantity,
from l to 100. Ordinarily however,
customer for this sort of thing
wants one placard; sometimes two or
three. BY following the above plan
we can sell them for 25c each, two
for doc or three for soc. They can
be sent by mail but they have to
be wrapped with more care and If
60 ordered, Csc should be added for
packing and postage. This addi-
tional charge does not increase with
the number of placards, except for
ten or more. That is, it costs 25c
to wrap and mail one placard, three
or seven, as the case may be.
We are constantly adding to the
list. Those in stock at the present
time are:

In addition to having the tallest news paper building in the world, the heaviest corner in the world and the ability to produce steel at a lower cost than anywhere else on the globe, Bir- mingham has new claim to distinc- ton. This is found in the fact that the Birmingham agency for wiIlys- Overland products in the month of July sold more Willys-Knight and Overland cars, Der thousand of popu- iation, than any other city in the United States.

 WILL MOVE SOON
To Occupy Building Now HOus-
 ing Mack Truck

The Vulcan Radiator company, after building up very successful business in the present location on the corner of Twentieth street and Avenue c, now finds it expendient by reason of in- creasing business to move to larger quarters and this firm has leased the building just across the avenue now occupied by Mack Truck company. The Mack company will occupy the hand some new structure now being erected on Avenue F, above Twenty-fifth street. The Vulcan Radiator company will move into its new home on Sep tember l, while the new quarters of the truck company will be formally opened about week later.
 Vulcan Radiator company has re- gently installed a motor repair depart ment in charge of a thoroughly com potent mechanic and this department will be enlarged and other srevices, such as washing, doping and greasing will be added when the new place is oc- cupied. Body work, fender work and radiator repairing and rebuilding will, of course, be continued on a larger scale.

NEW MOTOR INN
 TO OPEN SOON Handsome New Service Station Is Near Five
 Points

It may be said that the acme of per fiction has been reached in beauty, con vrnience and appointment in the hand some new service station soon to be oc- cupied by Milton's Motor Inn on the corner of Tenth avenue and Twentieth street, south. The new place will be ! the last word in modern facilities for the service of the motoring public and will be formally opened in a few days.
 The "piece de resistance" will be the dispensing of Woco-Pep, but many other services will be provided. Wash ing, doping and greasing will be done here and larger storage quarters are also available. The drive-in portion of the building is especially commodious, having a concrete floor of about 30x100 } feet. Here four pumps of the newest and fastest type will dispense WocO- Pep in record-breaking time. Then new pumps are of the ''dOuble-bar- relied variety, having an extra reser- voir which is filled at the same time the visible portion is being pumped full making a great saving of time possible. A unique feature of the new station will be the automatic air stands on the Tenth avenue curb. These air stands have an automatic cutoff which shuts off the air when the desired pressure is reached. The station will be operated by J. B. Milton, who for several years,, conducted the Motor Inn on Sixth ave nue and Twenty first street. He will be assisted by J. D. Neblett, whose courteous service has pleased thousands of Birmingham motorists. That the new place will-be a splendid success is a foregone conclusion.
 Announcement of the formal opening of this station will be made in the next few days.

MANY ADMIRE
 NEW NASH LINE All Over Country Thous- ands Visit Nash
 ShowrOOms

Literally hundreds of thousands of people have visited Nash showrooms fthroukhout the country to view the new Nash models since their announce ment July 31. Dealers in all sections report places of business crowded day and night.
 sTO say that the public is pleased with the cars in the new Nash Ad- .vanced Six and Special Six lines, is stating it very mildly" said E. H. Me Carty, general sales manager of the Nash Motors company. 'Telegrams re ceived by us from our dealers and dis tributors tell us not only of unprece- dented crowds in attendance but almost unanimously they refer, to frank ad- mirAtion expressed by visitors in the cars themselves as well as to surprise over the low prices. It is safe to say the Nash dealer organization will have very busy period during the late sum mer and fall months"
 Within twelve hours after the new Nash models were placed on view, 2,570 people visited the New York showrooms, while in Brooklyn show AOOAAS t<Oa NAOAtVAS CGAACu tO AUAuAEC tUC line and all other New York metropoli. tan showrooms representing the Nash fine reported similar heavy attendance.
 The new body linesy the new four wheel brakes, balloon tires and force feed oiling system with which. all of the new Nash models are equipped, were the object of close scrutiny and outspoken admiration on the part of visitors. Statesmen were kept busy an- swering inquiries as to the details of each of the beautiful models and of particular interest was the fact that the steering mechanism devised by Nash engineers especially for balloon tires and four-wheel brakes completely nullifies the normal steering resistance heretofore characteristic of cars equipped with balloons.

HUPP TO BUILD
 S.CYLHDER CAR.
Higher In Price Present Model To Be Con-
 tinued

First authentic infoFma ton from the Hupp Motor Car Corporation concern ing it's long rumored eight-cylinder car is contained in a factory announce ment poster which is making it's ap- pearance in Huppmobile showrooms. The poster is signed by Charles D. Tasting, president and general mau- ager of the corporation.
 It is attracting considerable attention among automobile owners and from other dealers because it clearly defines the company's future policy relative to the new car and the present Hapmobile as. well.
 Though the new car. an eight-in-line, has been under experimentation and test since November last, it will not be announced nor ready for distribution until January, 1925.
 '.We could bring the new car out sooner" Mir. Hastings said, "but our recognized policy is that every major change we make must withstand at least a years test before being placed on Vhe market It is only through such pre- caution that the owner can be safe guarded against performance mistakes that any factory should eliminate be- fore placing an automobile in produc- tion.'
 The new eight will be larger and higher priced than the cars of four cylinders that the company has been manufacturing since inception in 1909. It will not in any way supersede the present car, it is officially stated. Rather, the announcement points out, it is being built for a different market and to round out the company's line. Officials expect the present Hupmobile to continue to constitute the bulk of the company's sales.
 The Hupmobile is now handled at the Hupmobile branch of Packard Motors, at Avenue D and Twentieth street.

NEW FACTOR IN POLITICS
Candidates Must Have Good Radio
 Personalities This Year

Candidates Must Have Good Radio
 Personalities This Year
 This fall will be a season of political oratory by radio. Much depends on its judicious use. A candidate who disre- gards radio will suffer a severe handi- cap, while one who misuses it will tire his radio listeners and lose more than he gains. But, granted a speaker of sufficient importance, the nation will be his audience. Wire and radio links will make his remarks heard in many states.
 The new factor in politics-radio- wifi probably have an important bear ing on the election of candidates to office. If they do not have good radio voices and radio personalities it will initiate seriously against their chances as candidates. The art of political ora tory will gradually undergo a marked change and the flag waving of old will be replaced by matter of fact presenta- tlon of policies. It will be better poli- ties, and call forth men of greater abil- ity.
 Artificial demonstrations for unprom- lslng candidates sound artificial by ra- dlo, Long-winded political Oratory with meaningless expressions of praise are ineffective. Impassioned haran9uea about nothing at all sway crowds massed in auditoriums and bore radio listeners at their homes.
 That the logical speaker who has zeal subject matter to present is mora sf- itective than the skilled campaign spelE binder is proved by the radio popuIar. ity of Calvin Coolidge. A campaign orator addressing a large mass audi. ence can appeal to its emotions ana arouse it's patriotism. But when re. peated through loud speaker in sn average home there is no mass feeling. The cheers by the crowd may sound peculiar and quite uncalied for-New

CONSIDER DEALER
 WHEN YOU BUY
Junk Dealer Method Not AL
 ways Sound

A junk dealer buys an automobile for its parts. Other car buyers are prin- cipally interested in transportation. D says P. R. Mccormack, of Mccormack Brothers.
 "But not few car shoppers proceed by the junk dealer method. They examine the car in detail, check the specifications. and compare parts. The last thing that occurs to them is to identify the sources of responsibility for the cars performance. What are the local facilities for serving owners of that make of car; what are the prob able requirements of that car during it's busy life; who exists in the community to adequately meet the requirements of owners ?-those are questions of more importance than any asked the dealer in old metal"
 The open door to opportunity The
