Chevrolet Manager Gives Impor
tant Points to Take Brnder
. 3
Consideration.
PO e |
"A motor car i 8 an fmpostant in
vestment,” says . M. Lowe, local
Chevrolet manager. “And it is enly
fair,” he continues, “that the pro
spective purchaser be taught the es
sentials of motor car knowledge bDe—
fore investing his money.
“Before selecting a motor car, the
buyer should ecarefully consider each
of these ten important points:
(1) Economy, (3) power and flexibil
ity, (3) durabifity, (4) comfort, (5
safety, (6) convenience, ¢¥) ease and
care, (8) easy riding, (9 beauty, (10)
style
“It is not necessary to consider
these points in order as stated, al
though it would be a safe plan to fol
low.
“Economy has been given prefer
ence, for the reason that it is the
important point of the hour. Buy a
car having an economical record, one
that will give you a maximum
amount of mileage for each gallon of
gasoline. This is governed by type
of motor, bearings, lubrication and
weight.
“The next important essential to
watch for is power. You want pow
er in an automobiie. You waht to ve
able to go anywhere. You do not
want, to feel any limitations in this
respect.
“Durability is something we all seek
in making a purchase. It is especial
ly important when one considers the
amount involved. This item depends
on the integrity of the maker, his
honesty, his ideals, his standards. A
good way to judge this is to notice
the number of cars of any particular
make in use. This is, as a rule, a
good guide to fellow.
“Conveniences and comforts are
important, too. Buy a care that gives
you the little things that make mo
toring enjoyable and free from ecare.
Select your motor car with this
knowledge and without mistakes.” 3
Women automobile dealers are by
no means uncominon, but Mrs. lola
Muff, of Crete, Nebraska, enjovs the
distinction of not only being a suc
cessful automaobile dealer of three
years standing, but also of being able
to drive away her own cars from the
factory in these davs cos scarce freight
equipment. Recently Mrs. Muff came
to the Hupmobile factory at Detroit
with a party of 30 Nebraska dealers
and drove a car back to (‘rete, a dis

Many Auto Clubs
.
Are Formed in
.
North Georgia
That Atlanta gets what she goes
after, has been many times demon
strated, and right now Atlanta mem
‘ters of the (Georgia State Automobile
Association is after good! roads
throughout the State, and every one
in the party that made the trip last
week to Chattanooga will have to ad
mit that hese Atlanta good roads
boosters are going to get better high
ways or die with their backs to the
wall after having been driven out
of the last trenches.
Last Tnursday morning at 7:30,
five cars loaded with these Atlanta
men left the city for the purpose of
going to Chattanooga by one route
and returning by another. The first
R‘AARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN — A Newspa,per for People Who Think — SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1918
Atlanta members-of Georgia State Auto Association hold meeting at Cartersville.
stop was at Cartcrsville, where a large{
audience of interested mcen listened;
to the various speakers and at the
conclusion of the meeting made im
mediate arrangements to organize an
automobile club to be associated with
the State organization.
The next stop was nade at Calhoun,
and a very successful meeting was
held there, and another club was ar
ranged for, |
Several miles out of Dalton the par
ty was met by a number of Dalton
ladies who gave each one of theypar -
ty a flower and escorted the boosters
to the Dalton Country Club, where
a most delicious luncheon was served.
During the luncheon specches were
made, and “Cousin” Ired Huum-r_lmli
in singing America and the Star-
Spangled Banner. There was also '\‘
committee appointed by the Dalton
men present, which will immediately
organize a Dalton Automobile As
sociation, which they promise will
give effective assistance in securing
better roads in the State of Georgia.
After winding about the mountains
surrounding Chattanooga, which fur
nishes some of the most beautiful
scenery in the world, the party ar
rived at the Patten Hotel at 6:30
Thursday evening. At 8 o'clock the
Atlanta representatives were enter
tained at a dinner given by the Chat
tanooza Automobile Club.
Putriotgm and good roads shared
ecqual hoii®Ys in the speeches delivered.
All the talks were short, to the point,
and contained much of the lighter
vein, the members of the two organi
zations feeling as if they belonged to
the same club when the meeting was
adjourned.
The speakers of the evening did
not conflne themselves to compli
mentary remarks, however. Anyone
present that had forgoien how to
laugh must have felt that he was in
leed in a gathering of people, each
eagcer to knock chip off of another's
shoulder. The extremely bad condi
tion of the Dixie highway between
Marietta and Atlanta came in for its
share of the friendl( discussion. ‘
E. D. Reed, president of the lo
cal Automobile Club, acted as toast
muster, introducing W. T. Winn, pres
{dent of the Atlanta Club, as the first
ipeaker. Mr. Winn, after admitting
hat the stretch of road between Ma
jetta and Atlanta was the weakest
nk in the whole Dixie highway, was
~undly applauded when he made the
ollowing statement:
‘ “However, you (Chattanoogans have
| ent a lot of undesirables to our city.
~_ for one, don't believe in letting the
jermans interned at Camp McPher
ich eat wheat bread, smoke cigarettes
,'nd whittle sticks all day, and I hope
nd believe that within the next 30
‘ays they will be at work, building
he Dixie highway.”
Captain A. J. Gahagan, of Chatta
wooga, made a brief talk bearing on
he war of more than 50 years ago, as
‘ompared with that of today., He de
- lared that he was willing and eager
to go to the front in France, says
that he would do so in any capacity
for which he is accepted.
“Cousin” Fred Houser, the Atlanta
convention-getter, who is the most
successful in the South, made a shorl
vatriotic address, giving the famous
declaration made by General Petain
at Verdun—"“They shall not pass"—a®
“loghn to be adopted by the two
clubs as a war slogan.
Other - peukers were W, R, Long
judge Strange, of Atlanta; Colonel
Smith, Fifty-third Infantry; Homei
McClatchey, of Rome; George K.
Watts, of Atlanta; Oscar Mills, of
Atlanta.
“More than $2,900 worth of Liberty
hond subscriptions were taken in
three minutes—over $750 a minute.
The speeches were followed by a
cabaret entertainment, and later by
a well-acted “stunt,”” rather well
known to Chatfttanoogans, but making |
the hegrt of many men there jump up
in their throats for a few seconds. It
developed more and more plainly as
the time went on that Dick Stegall, of
the local club, had been imbibing
too much firewater. He at last began
making such a disturbance that cries
of “Put him out'!” were heard, and an
attempt was promptly made to act
upon the suggestion, prompted by
George Watts, of Atlanta, who got up
and declared that such a member
would not be tolerated in the Atlanta
organization. The Intoxicated man
was put out by the rear door, but
promptly gained entrance again, look
ing for the man that had ordered himn
put out. Then Dr. H. A. Morgan ap
proached with a determined look on
his face, he pulled out a gun at the
same time that Setgall did; the lights
went out, and a pistol duel ensued.
1t was unseen by many, however,
most of them being under the table.
The lights were turned on again,
though, soon, and to the astonishment
of many, Mr, Stegall was seen, per
fectly sober, shaking hands with his
former opponents.
The party left Chattanooga at 9
o'clock Friday morning and made the
first stop at Lafayette, where they
were met by a large delegation of
men and a chorus of school children,
cach carrying an American flag. Sev
eral songs of a patriotic nature were
sung by the children and a very in
teresting and effective meeting was
acccmplished.
The next stop was at Summerville,
where/a brief meeting was held. The
party was behind schedule and had
to Lhurry on to Rome, where the Ro
tary Club had planned a luncheon.
Rome was reached at 1:30, and the
hungry motorists were served a de
liclous luncheon at the” Hotel Forrest
as guests of the Rome Rotary Club.
A number of speeches were made, and
Yohn Lottridge told of the beautiful
roads in California, where they are
used extensively by the farmers in
hauiing their products to market.
The party arrived in Atlanta Friday
evening at 7 o'clock, tired, but en
thusiastic over the hearty and wel
come reception that had been given
at every stop. It was undoubtedly
‘he most successful good roads tour
that ever has been made in the State,
and when all the clubs that were
started as a result of this trip are
organized North Gecrgia will have a

E. M. Willingham
Ret From Trip
To Eastern Cities
IZ. M. Willingham, president and gen
eral manager of the Superior Motor
Truck Company, of Atlanta, has just
returned from a visit to several Eastern
cities, where he spent some time con
tracting for supplies of materials and
parts in order that the output of 1-ton
and 2-ton Superiors might be Increased.
He was struck with the enormous de
mand for motor trucks in the EKEast,
caused by the congestion of railroad
traffic.
“They are running between the cities
in a great procession,” he said, ‘“‘going
night and day, delivering the merchan
dise the roads will not accept or can
not undertake to handle prompfi}', It
reminds one of the descriptions of that
great train of trucks which kept the
!fortl'(-ss of Verdun supplied with men,
‘arms and food and saved the fort for
the French. g |
- "It is. wonderful, the amount of
freight that can be handled by a truck
which goes steadily on, making few
stops, waiting for nothing, running
nh:'l? and day. When you consider tha‘
thodsands in the intercity service, you
can understand how they have taken the
place of the local freight train. They‘
never tire, and the modern truck has
reached a point of perfection where
a breakdown is a rare occurrence.
They are keeping the public in many
towns from feeling the effect of famine,
for the railroads are utterly unable to
handle the local traffic situation in
many sucti)ns.
‘““We have developed the intertown
truck system to a certain degree in
Georgia, but nothing like what will
come when a system of permanent good
roads is completed. We have failed to
realize that a good highway between
important points is as of great value
to the business man as to the tourist
or pleasure-seeker.”
Mr. Willingham sald ha succeeded
in contracting for an ample supply of
parts and materials to insure that the
Superior factory could keep up with
orders without being delayed for lack o§
some necessary part, despite the in
creased demand for trucks which had
surprised his sales department this
spring.
More than 4,000 visitors to the Savan_
nah automobile show during the past
week witnessed the most severe test
ever applied to the new puncture-proof
fnner tube for automobile casings man
ufactured by the Doss Rubber and Tube
Company, of Atlanta.
The demonstration at the show was
glven under the direction of T. J. Mel
drim, Charles H. Black and R. H. Can
trell, representatives of the Doss com
pani, who went to Savannah for the
week, During the first two days of the
exhibition more than 300 nail holes were
made In one of the casins equipped
with the puncture-proof tube, which re
éuined the air pumped in on a previous
ay.
At the conclusion of each test the tube
wag found to be as tight as a drum.
The demonstration attracted widespread
attention among motor car owners from
eevry section of Georgia and Florida who
attended the show.
Among the Atlanta visitors at the
exhibitian in Savannah were Harold Gil_
bert, sales manager of the John Lote
tridge Motor Sales Company; Loftus T.
Jones, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Falvey, R.

Kissel Motor Kar Company; James B.
Keough, Bryan Newkirk, of the soseph
G. Blount Chalmers Company; C. Wayne
Carlisle, of the French Powell Motor
Company, and others.
Preparations are being made at the
Doss factory, which soon will he com
pleted, opposite Fort McPherson, to in
stall the first shipment of machinery en
route from the manufacturers in Tren

cilities for making the new tube and
other products of the Doss company will
be ready for actual beginning of opera
tions at the plant the latter part of
May.

A tour of the southern part of the
State will be made, leaving Atlanta
May 13. Similar clubs will be organ
ized in all the towns on the route,
and then the entire State will be or
ganized for better highways, and!
when the Legislature meets it will
hear from the Georgia State Auto-‘
mobile Association in a voice that can '
not be mistaken. Bills will be pre-l‘
sented that will enable the State to
get its share of the I"ederal road fund
and other bills that are now needful
in bettering the roads of Georgia.
