You didn't expect It i was so near? There are a lot of j others that feel the same way, but tt'9 j a fact nevertheless. As It is one I month earlier than usual, some of the i motorcar dealers themselves find it hard to believe the annual event | is to be here so soon. But they are j working like a bunch of good fellpws ] to make this the greatest automobile show that llarrisburg has ever had. New oars are coming in daily for ex- j hibition purposes and telegrams are i flying in every direction to hurry up j delayed shipments, in other words, the exhibitors and the show manage- : ment are now coming down the home I stretch in order to get their exhibit complete before it passes before the public's critical eye. No expense will be spared to make this show the best from every stand point. The decorations will be un usual and an entertaining musical program will be a feature of the aft ernoon and evening hours. The cen- • tral location will make it convenient for all to "drop in" and fact alone should make the attendance record greater than at any p/eceding show. Prosperous times makes it an ideal year for automobiles and a num ber of new makes not heretofore shown in llarrisburg will be an incen tive for many others to come. And even those who have no intention of , buying a motorcar at present will ; come for the educational advantages where they can get on the "inside" of what's going on, where the power. comes from that makes the wheels turn, even though they have seen nothing but the button that is pushed or the lever that is pulled. Good cars for less than SOOO will be shown and other luxurious ones as high as $5,000. Edison on Sixty-Ninth Birthday Lays Down Rules For long Life Special to the Telegraph New York, Feb. 13. Thomas A. | Edison. 69 years old yesterday, was four minutes late in punching: his num ' ber on the time clock nt his West ' Orange factory, and he was madder about it than the foreman, who Is sup j posed to "dock" tardy employes. The foreman only laughed and said it would .■ be all right this time, but Mr. Edison icut him off sharply, saying: ! "Xo. it will not be all right this time. I I am on the payroll hero like any one I else and I want you to 'dock' me the ' day's pay for being late. It will teach me a lesson. I never was late before and wouldn't be this time if it liad not been for that dinner the illuminat ing engineers gave to me in New Tork. I It was 2 o'clock before I reached home and they wouldn't call me because It Is ; my birthday." ! Late in the afternoon, however, he consented to see a reporter whom he had known for many years. "Are you going to take the Secre taryship of War? he was asked. "That Job is too slow for me," he said. I Anyway. I'm interested in the navy | more than in the army. Say, young man, I to make this regular birthday interview | short I'll tell you in short sentences ! just what you want to quote me on.

It means dependable enjoyable automobile service. It means low upkeep cost with minimum deterioration in value. It means integrity in selling as well as in the making. It means values greater than you had ever believed or hoped would be possible. Reo means that no other two models ever enjoyed greater popularity.
