ROOSEVELT TO
BE ENTERED IN
SHOWS ABROAD
Mdrmon Company Exports
Manager Sails to Place
Exhibits.

Frank L. Hambly, export man
ager of the Marmon Motor Car
Company, has sailed to attend this
years international automobile
shows in London and Paris, at which
the Roosevelt Eight will be displayed
prominently before the motor car
leaders of England and the con-
tinent.
Hambly is an annual visitor at
these exhibits as we'll as to every
other outstanding automobile show
the world over. His visit to London
and Paris this season, however,
holds greater importance than usu-
al, since the Marmon- Roosevelt line
has gained strong position abroad
and sales have increased rapidly in
practically every country where
automobiles are the accepted mode
of every day travel.
Cars Priced Lower
Always appreciative of advanced
steps in engineering, European
motorists were quick to voice their
approval of the Roosevelt straight
eight, which, even abroad, is priced
considerably lower than any other
car of its type. AS a consequence,
the Roosevelt is expected to attract
more than the usual attention
granted American-ma cars at the
international displays.
The first of the two great foreign
exhibits to be attended by Hambly
is the Paris Salon, Oct. 3 to Is. He
will then travel to London for the
annual Olympia show, the British
counterpart of the French display.
To Visit Distributors
Before returning to this country,
Hambly will visit number of Mar
mon-Roosevelt distributors in Euro
pean countries. He will arrive in
the United States in time for the
New York automobile show in Janu-
airy, an event that is attended each
year by many foreign automobile
dealers.
Aside from establishing an envi-
able European sales record this year,
Marmon-built cars won signal
prominence short time ago
through their participation in the
automobile elegance contest at Bots
Boulogne, Paris.
In this event, a Marlnon SO road
Ster, Marmon So standard coupe,
and Roosevelt collapsible coupe, we're
awarded prizes for their appearance,
beauty of line and appointments,
and their showing attracted great
interest not only in France, but in
other European countries.

u. S. STORAGE
METHOD BETTER
THAN EUROPEAN
Shank Company Head,
Back From Trip, Scores
Foreign Methods.

American methods of warehouse
storage are far superior to those of
Europe, according to Mrs. Samuel
Lewis Shank, president of the Shank
Fireproof Storage Company, 1860
North Illinois street, who returned
recently from a trip to Europe.
Mrs. Shank reported she found
European methods of storing furni-
ture and household goods careless
and without thought of protection
Scattered Unwrapped
Instead of wrapping all furniture
and keeping it together in one place
as is done by the Shank company,
most of the foreign warehouses and
storage concerns left the furniture
unwrapped and scattered through
different buildings, she said.
In most cases furniture was
packed with pads, she found. The
Shank company uses dust-proof
pads. In one warehouse, she found
an extensively upholstered chair,
unwrapped, in a spot where the
sun shone on it through a hole in
the roof.
The Shank Fireproof Storage
Company gives special care to each
type of household furnishings.
Pianos are taken to a room with a
year round even temperature and
each piano is covered.
Given Special Care
Bedding, mattresses and similar
goods are wrapped in special moth
proof material and are placed in a
special vault. Overstuffed furniture
is spr.nkled with special powder,
wrapped with paper, sealed and
stored on special metal racks.
Special vaults are provided for
silver, papers and other valuableS.
A mothproof and burglar-proof
vault has been installed for valuable
overhangings, Grapes, velvet hang
ings and tapestries.
Mrs. Shank has operated the
company since the death of Samuel
Lewis Shank, former mayor of In
dianapol;s and founder of the COM
pany. She finds the work fasci-
mating and describes it as house
keeping on large scale.
