MOON SHOWS
GAIN IN DIXIE

According TO automobile registra-
tons just published by the Southern
Agriculturist the Moon Motor Car
company shows big gains in all south
ern states, Florida naturally leading
with an increase of 96.6 per cent.
Other interesting gains were made in
Kentucky with 627; Georgia 15.9;
louisiana III; Mississippi SIG;
North Carolina 20.5: Tennessee 21.5;
Texas 27.7; Virginia SIS: West Vir-
ginia 2O.2; or, an average gain in
each southern state of 30.6.
This is most gratifying when it is
considered that in addition TO the
Moon car, the company also produces
the Diana eight cylinder car which
is also merchandised through MooD
distributors. The above gains are
made exclusive of Diana registrations,
as that car was first introduced liz
the last half of 1925, and therefore
there can be no basis of comparison.
From available statistics Moon has
made great gains throughout the en-
tire United States and with the ad-
vent of the New Light Six selling in
the $1,000 field. all dealers holding
Moon and Diana franchises are very
enthusiastic. Wherever weather con.
ditions have been favorable il is
gratifying to note the number Of Diana
sales that have been made. and AZ
this time the dealers are pressing the
factory for deliveries on both tbs
Moon and the Diana.

STRETCH AUTO,
PAIGE ADVICE

Stretch your automobile Is the
startling advice to all motorists given
in an editorial in the Paige ewett
Magazine.
When raw rubber prices were
srtificslly raised to an exorbitant fig
ure,' says the editorial, American
motorists backed up Herbert Hoover
in a campaign to stretch rubber
that IL, 70 mske their tires last
longer. A considerable break in
prices resulted.
Now, let's not stop at rubber. Let's
stretch gasoline, oil. brakes. engines
and everything-in short, let's stretch
the whole automobile.
When We stretched rubber, we
prolonged the life Of the tires: as the
motorists put it, we got more mileage
per tire, and postponed requirements,
By careful use Of the tires.
Careful use Of your automobile
will have the same beneficial effects
on other items.
Keep your csrburetor correctly sd-
iusted, and stretch your gasoline
Avoid abuses that cause crankcase
dilution, and stretch your oil, u.s.
your brakes with discretion. and
stretch your brake Innings: treat your
car with greater consideration, and
stretch your automobile.
Everybody stretch-snd get more
mileage per dollar"

ten days of April of $3.50 cars. 1894
more cars than were shipped from
the factory during the same ten
days.
Co-incident with this announce
ment comes statement from the
Buick sales department that dealers
stocks are the lowest they have been
in years at this season. This is in
spite of the fact that all yearly ship,
ment records for Buick were smashed
in the first eight months of the fiscal
year. At the end of March 49, ,923
cars had been loaded and dispatched
from the factory.
While the production schedule for
April is being held at the high level
of around $4,000 cars which was set
in March, there is no assurance tina.
even this heavy production will be
adequate to meet the spring demand
which is now gaining momentum.
According to officials, Buick IL

In a series of tests recently con-
Quoted by the United States Naval
Air Service at its Pensacola, Fla,
station, a Ford motor starter proved
that it was almost as efficient at
hauling in aerial targets as it is at
the more familiar task of cranking a
Ford car. In fact, according to en-
gineers Of the Naval Air Service, the
Ford unit proved more powerful than
any of the truck or automobile starter
motors employed in the government
experiments.
The governments report to the

ingenuity of the naval engineers, but
also contains an impressive demon
stration of the power and stamina
of that mechanical detail of Ford

Garage Man Says No Need
to Wait for Boom
Like FI0rida's.
By LOUIS ROTH
(of Roth Brothers Garage)


Since the Florida boom people all
over the country are looking over
their shoulders, peering around corners
and breathlessly expecting something
to say BOOM and all the real estate
in town will triple in value.
San Antonio's property owners may
be in a somewhat similar expectancy
but while they are waiting San An
tonic is surely and speedily being
pushed further and further ahead in
steady unfaltering improvement
wisely guided and advanced by our
splendid civic leaders and office hold
ers.
Such edifices as the new municipal
auditorium cannot fail to thrill the
most prosaic person.
ROMANCE AND BIGNESS
Here is a building whose first i'm
preston is that of romance, OF the
ancient padres who trod these same
grounds centuries ago: an impression
also OIL lmlncIlSlIys vi spithuoi ohN
architectural triumph; an impression
calling forth the admiration of its
poetry in appearance.
San Antonio's parks are beautiful
in every sense of the word and the
description of the golf courses must
be left to the inveterate golfers who
come here year after year.
A MONUMENT
The new Medical Arts building
creates a new skyline and is a shadow
Of the improvements to come. Lit
up at night with its hundreds OF win
dows it is monument TO progress.
The millions invested in new hotels,
new theaters, new office buildings and
the hundreds of homes insure future

Southwest. that is not dependent on
any uncertain boom"
Ones faith should be backed by ones
pocketbook, and our faith is in San

business home, our own homes and as
we get more money We will buy more
San Antonio real estate.
