Emerick Returns From
Hup Dealers' Convention
H. C. Emerick. local manager for
the Xeighbors Motor Company, at 1-0
Market street, has returned from the
second annual convention of Hupmo
bile dealers at Detroit. The three-day
cession was marked by fun and feast
ing as well as inspecting the factory
and consideration of sales plans.
Every dealer had a good look at the
new model K and a ride in it to see
how it acts.
That it tills the bill was more than
made evident by the good things that
were said —and not whispers—by the
men whose business It is to place
Hupmobiles in the service of satislied
customers.
The car was admired and praised
from every standpoint—size, beauty,
finish, upholstery, equipment, room,
power, electrical system, performance,
speed, etc.
Even with the banquet waiting It
was difficult business to round up the
men and drag them away from the
new car to the hotel.
But it was done finally. The ban
quet was a climax to the best three
days any dealer or group of dealers
ever spent at the factory, and the sec
ond annual meet came to an end.
The new model K was the center of
Interest and made the feeling general
that it more than ever strengthens
the Hupmohile's position as being far
above the ordinary class and that it
will meet with a most gratifying wel
come from the buying public.
is said by every dealer that, with
out doubt, this model is the greatest
production that has ever left the Hupp
factory, and if this attitude can be
maintained throughout the year the
convention will have been a most sat
isfying success.

Ford Plan Creates a
Great Deal of Comment
The cutting of the price on all
Ford models and the profit-sharing
plan to all buyers of Ford cars this
year has been the topic of conver
sation among motor car men this
week following the announcement a
week ago. Many inquiries have been
revolved by P. Driscoll who has ex
plained the plan in detail, the pro
fit-sharing plan may have a tendency
to make every buyer a booster, be
sides receiving a car for sixty dollors
less money than the car sold for
formerly. Mr. Driscoll reports a
decided increase noticeable as a re
sult of the new plan and hopes for
double the amount of sales over last
year. Since completing the new
building every family possible has
been provided to expidite the work
and perfect the organization so as to
keep pace with the expected increase
of business.
The Ford car is represented in this
city by the Ford Sales company at
South Cameron and Mulberry streets.
A large and substantial huildlng was
recently completed by this company,
which has ample capacity to care for
a large number of Ford cars, and is
equipped with the modern appliances
to care for their rapidly increasing
business under the management of
P. Driscoll, this company has been a
rapid growth, as is evidenced by the
great number of Ford cars seen on the
streets of Harrisburg, as well as by
the size of the new building which
may be seen by all crossing the Mul
berry street bridge and by those pas
sing on the main thoroughfare to
Steelton.

Belgians Shocked by
Reported Burning of
Historic City of Liege
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 8. —Reports that
Liege, the greatest commercial city In
Belgium, was in flames in places as
the result of German shell fire created
dismay and rage among the hundreds
of Belgian volunteers who have
flocked here from all parts of the
country on their way to Europe. Tho
Palais d'Justicc and St. Paul's Cathe
dral, reported damaged by shells, ar«
among the oldest buildings in Eviropo.
Speaking of the reported destruc
tion, Pierre Mali, the Belgian consul
general, snld to-day:
"It is monstrous and inhuman, the
fight being made into tho city of Liege.
It lies on the right bank of the Meuse
river, in the center of the circle, of
twelve forts, which comprise, the forti
fications of the district of Liege. It is
flatter than New York and its ap
proaches inside the forts are ungaurd
ed. There are 171,000 people, in the
<ity proper and In the poorer quarters
the congestion is a serious matter. If
a fire ever starts there the city ia
doomed.
"The burning of Liege, if it has been
burned, or if the attack has been car
ried into the city itself, will never he
forgotten by the Belgian people. The
Palais d'Justloe is priceless in itself
and It is tilled with relics of medieval
times the equal of which exists no
where else."
