14 CROWDS CONTINUE AT AUTO SHOW Lack of Anti-Skidding Devices on Shoes Does Not Prevent Good Attendance Last night was a terrible night to he about, but felt that I had a duty to perform in spending at least one more night at the Automobile Show. The night previous, my tour of inspection was rudely brought to a close. 1 forgot that the auto salesmen and demonstrators had to sleep, for per sonally. I could have spent hours more going from car to car. enjoying the exquisite beauty of the sleek speed sters and stately limousines. My first pause of last night was be fore the exhibit of the Pennsylvania Auto Sales Company, with B. L.. Da vidson in charge. B. I* took us into his confidence and told us something about the handsome national "II" which he has on exhibition during the show. "Nationals are being called "Highway" because of their capacity to conquer distances with the inmost ease and comfort." said Mr. Davidson. "In the National *ll* you really drive two mighty "six" engines, merged per fectly into one unit. National built the first American "sixes' and National 'sixes' of to-day are favorites among the owners of better grade cars. The National 'lj' was born of ihe 'Six.' " And since he mentioned it. strikes me that every time I've sen a National on the streets, the owner was the sort of man one says, "Yes. sir" to. After that pleasing little interview. I stepped over to the exhibit of the Miller Auto Company who are show ing the Haynes. C. E. Hoin and H \V. Miller were in charge of the exhibit. Concerning the Haynes "light Six." Sir. Hoin had the following to say: "The 'light Six' was too good to be changed—it has simply been refined by the addition of seat covers, alumi num pistors. gypsy curtains, etc.. making it a more complete car. "The engine of the new Haynes is the same light, high-speed. 55 horse-power motor, that develops more horse power than any other engine of the same bore and stroke. It has flexibil ity. hill-climbing power. get-away ability and economy." Mr. Hoin is very enthusiastic, and I can readily understand why. lie has a car that he can well be proud of. Our next stop was with J. D. Ferry, of the Auto Sales and Distributing Company and their exhibit of the In ter-State. Here we saw one of the classiest looking five-passenger cars of the entire show. Nothing seemed too much trouble for Mr. Ferry when I asked to be "shown." I found the motor to be a four-cylinder 30 horse power, 3's-inch bore, with 5-inch stroke, surely a sturdy enough look ing motor. I liked the roomy comfort afforded when I got into the car itself. Plenty of leg-room and cushions deep and comfortable. Yes. I liked the Inter-State first rate and the price was most agreeable, being but SBSO. an exceptionally low figure considering the car. Then, we slipped over to the exhibit of the Riverside Auto Company and their showing of the Paige. George R. and Paul Bentley were both on the lob. and waxed extremely warm in their discussion of the car they repre sent. Pointing to his "Fairfield Six -46." George R. Bentley said: "With this car the Paige first won the supremacy, of the "Sixes.' With it. Paige will con tinue to hold the supremacy of the "Sixes." It is so firmly entrenched in the appreciation, confidence, yes, even the affections of the discriminating mo toring public, that it is guaranteed a continuous demand. The Fairfield Six -46 is an American institution." From there we went around to see ML J. Cavender. of the Commercial Car I'O.. representing Garford Trucks. Here was a truck that at once strurk my fancy. We weer given some literature showing to what extent the Garford is in use throughout the countrv. Among others, it seems to save been very readily adopted by the farmers and truckers, who weer quick to appreci ate the advantages of rapid transporta tion of "their products. It has been adapted to cover all of the hauling problems of the fgarm and about the only thing the farmers have overlooked seems to be they have not vot bitched it to the front of a plow. The Garford is made in such a wide range as to style of body that it can bp put to profitable use anywhere when heavy duty is required. UNITARIAN MINISTER I>IES By Assoriated Press Philadelphia. Feb.
