NEW YORK, Dec. 10. Prepara
tions for the national automqblle
shows in New York and Chicago
which are rapidly nearfng completion,
assure those who have followed them
that the displays will be the biggest
and most comprehensive the country
has ever known. The New York
event, the first half of the show, will
be held in Grand Central Palace, Jan
uary 7 to 14, and the Chicago event,
the second half, in the Coliseum and
Armory. Jan. 2S to Feb. 4.
One of the outstanding features of
the 1922 show will be the great values
in the cars displayed. Never before
has a prospective automobile pur
chaser been offered the value he can
now get. Ever since the war motor
car manufacturers have been profit
ing by the lessons learned when the
plants were being used by the gov
ernment. As a result, they have been
able to reduce costs and at the same
time show betterments in their prod
ucts. Automobiles surely are improving
every year; the automobile show re
flects this. For the most part, how
ever, the bettermen has been noticed
in body designs, coach work, finish,
both interior and exterior.
There will be 94 car manufacturers
exhibiting on the four floors of the
Palace in January, as against 88 last
year. This record number of exhibit
ors means that there wiliabe nearly
400 different models shown to the
New York motoring world.
Eight new makes of cars, including
two foreign ones, will be shown at
New York.) These are the Bournnon-
ville, Handley-Knight, Rickenbacker.
Wills St. Claire, Kelsey. Itala and
Vauxhall. The last two named are
the foreign makes that will be on dis
play.

The Tire with the Wider and Thtcker Tread
Here's A Strange Criticism-
A man in Idaho writes us :
"I think the wider and thicker
tread of your tires is partly re
sponsible for their wonderful
mileage but you can't tell me
you're not putting better rubber
into this tire than you ever let
on."
It is true that we have always
used the best materials money
can buy.
But the mere fact that the tread
is wider, makes it wear down so
, slowly that users often get the
idea that the rubber is miracu
lously tough, too.

That the supply of parts and the
service rendered by a car dealer piny
a most important part In the value
of an automobile is the assertion of
E. A. Keilson, parts department man
ager of the Cal Messner establish
ment Neilson. has directly under his
charge the entire $25,000 stock of
parts for Chandler, Cleveland ami
GMCs which is carried by Cal Mess
ner.
"The fact that a car owner can re
ly on his dealer to have Jit't tire part
he may require at any tiie consti
tutes a great argument in favor of
the purchase of the particular car,
Neilson declared. "It is no unusual
thing for a car owner to . require
something that may indeed be simple,
yet which the dealer does not have in
stock. This necessitates wiring for
this part and causes a delay that
could have been avoided had the
dealer truly represented his line in
the first place. .There are, several
cars marketed in Phoenix which are
backed up with an ample stock of
parts, and we say with pride that no
lines are backed up. any stronger in
this respect than our own Chandler,
Cleveland and GMC. It gives a feel
ing of confidence to the man who
wants a car or truck to know that
he can be taken care of right on the
spot if anything goes wrong, and no
matter how high-priced a car may
be, no matter how economical or sat
isfying it proves, It occasionally
needs repairs, adjustments or new
parts. That's where the real test
comes in. Has the dealer got the
necessary parts to keep the car roll
ing?" Mr. Neilson states that he Is able
to fill 95 per cent of all parts orders
directly from stock. "If two dozen
Chandler owners should come rush
ing in here .and all want right front
fenders t replace smashed ones, we
could fix them up right now, he as
serted. "The same thing Is true of
all other parts motor, body and
chassis. I feel that this Is some
thing worth looking into by the man
who wants a car or truck. It shows
the confidence the dealer has in his
line in the first place.".

among members of the automobile in-
austry, tne otoring public and acces

manager of the Western Auto Supply

"For many years the value and ap
propriateness of automobile supplies
had been overlooked in the prepara
tion of lists for the distribution of
Christmas presents.
This year, however. Christmas h.n
a different meaning for automobile
owners, we believe. For there are
thousands of new automobile owners

still take pride in their machines.
They all want to improve the ap

both friends and relations are find

"So friends ere buying for other

Christmas shopping earlier than ever

Towns are setting aside camping
grounds for these nomads. Thousands
of them annually traverse the south
west. Their trade is valuable. Each
memben. of a party on an average
leaves one dollar a day behind him
at stores en route. At many places
motor tourists are given the freedom
of the municipal parks as well as
wood chopped ready for use, running
water and other camping needs.
The movement is In full blast

avanning. The tendency there is to
have a living car in the form of a
trailer attached to the owner's reg
