I DEALER OF OHIO I
PRAISES OGDEN
Accessories Supply for Tour
ists Among Best in the West,
Declares Visitor
Though specialisation promotes effi-,
ciency In some lines of business. It
seems to be sometimes inconvenient j
In the automobile accessories pame. ,
This, however, Is the opinion of Mr. ;
1 : rt Stlmpson of Cleveland. Ohio,
promienl automobile man and mem
ber of i tic Cleveland Automobile ax-,
nidation. Who was In Ogden this week, j
en route to the Pacific coast
While here Mr. Stlmpson was th
Ig teat of Jacob Row-man. manager of (
the accessories department of the
L'hcesman Automobile company He j
made mention of the fact that Offderil
was practically the only place he had I
found, among all the large cities he
had visited, where the automobile
owner can get all the necessary parts
for his car, no matter what make
It might be. He also praised very
highly the beautiful scenery and nat
ural resources of Ogden and vicinity ,
I doubt," he said, "If there Is anyj
other cits of its size in the west with
Kuch B complete arrangement of auto-j
mobile establishments as I find In
mlen. and especially commendable,
la the conv enience of being able to get i
the necessary parts for prac tically any (
make of car. such as Is poaaible here (
at Cheeeman'e. I shall certainly be
H glad to stop iiver here again on my
way back to Cleveland "

Tire Prices to Stay
Up High, Say Makers
I Prices may come down in clothing
I and foodstuffs sooner or later, but the
I motorist who waits for the downward;
I trend of tiro costs may have a long
I trait before him. The reason being,
that tire manufacturers maintain there
I will be no drop on tire prices
I To substantiate this claim, the iire;
I makers compare the boost In the cost'
of living generally with that of their
products- They show statistics of the
department of labor, by which it ifl
seen that wearing appan-1 went up -"5
per cent since 1014. fuel and light 111,
I per cent. sugar 2 T per Cent and
household furnishings 231 per cent
i Hut tires, they Bay, went up only 37 !
per cent In that time
Offsetting this rise is the Increase'
in durability of the modern tire. The'
makers compare a 4000-mile tire of
1 1, 1 4 with the BOOO-mlle "re of today j
That of 1914 costing 50. would give
twice the mileage and would sen for
only $70. And if we went back to
1010 for comparisons, we would find
actual tire costs two-thirds lower ;.-day.

Fine Potential Market
For American Machines
In Europe Says Expert
That there g ;l fine potential mar
ket for American cars and trucks in
ESurope, bul more for those manu
Hirers who are already established
I here and whose c ars are well known
to the public, is the opinion of S. A.
Miles, the automobile show manager
of the National Automobile chamber
of Commerce, who has Just returned
from a three months' trip In Great
Britain France and other parts of
ESurope.
'Great care will be necisary in the
next two or three years In handling
business on the other side because of,
the uncertain business conditions;
which conditions however, are very
much better than we haye any Idea
of here,' said Mr. Miles. "The Eng-,
llsh and French are keen for Amerl
can cars are buying them now at ab-(
normally high prices and probably will
continue to do so The establishment j
of new agencies and the upbuilding
of new business during the next two
or three years will be attended hv
some risks and should be undertaken
only by concerns of unquestioned fi
nancial standing It is costly to do
business there now and no maker can
hone to make much headway unless
his representatives carry an ample
line of spare parts and can render
proper si : ! e

"As a result of the war, all Europe,
and in fa t all the world, has been
completely sold on motor transporta
tion, both for persons as well as mer
chandise. The truck business contin
ues to grow especially as the railroads
oer there are overtaxed.
"The small type of car seems to be
the favored, Of these great numbers

"Dealer, with whom I talked de
clare that people are not anxious to
buy expensive cars and moreover the
cost of operation has Its effect. Gaso

is selling at about 71e per English
gallon, which la high compared with
our price here, the result of high
tacs and the fact that all the gaso
line has to be Imported
It is a pleasure to learn from our
prominent oil men that crude oil pro
duction Is breaking all records and
that gasoline reserve stocks increased
siib-'antialK during Apnl. ''ur people
should use gasoline carefullv and see
to It that their carburetors arc- prop

"The English ear manufacturers arc
getting Into production aftei a strenu
ous time converting from war .work.
I think the English as well as the
French arc pretty well satisfied that

"The European makers naturally
are putting forth every effort to offset
our ttade in cars and trucks in oth r
Countries The rivalry is keen but
friendly. European manufacturers not
overlooking the fact that America has
a great advantage In the- price at
which it can sell it cars throughout
the world, owing to our big home ,
market that permits quantity produc
tion. Italy has ruled that 90 per cent of
Its motor cars must be exported
France has Just taken off the embargo
on cars although continuing a 45 per
cent duty.
MERH MAKERS
"All those with whom T talked In
Europ' expressed appreciation of the
cooperative spirit of America In pe
titioning congress to reduce the tariff
on Imported cats 33 1-3 per cent t
permit other countries to sell here Just
as we are anxious to sell in their

The organizations in Erancc and

mobile Chambei of 1 ommen s not
alone exercise control over their mem

but also in races and motor car con-
teats of various kinds. I expressed
doubt whether our manufacturers
would attempt to Join racing with
their management of automobile
shows we are members of the im.-r-
national organization of manufactur
ers although we cannot Join In all the
plans which might operate well In
Europe, where the countries are small
and Have small car production.
I "In general, I would say that trade
conditions over there are rather ex
traordlnar) at this 'imc. Cars are
selling at figures far beyond their ac
jtual value, simply because of a short -
age. This is Hearing an end. how

'trade will soon get to a normal torn

WARM WEATHER

Season
With the coming of warm weather

I to the more general use of cars, par
ticularly in the evening.
Any movement looking to a better
ment of Ibis condition Is very apropos
at this time. From the latest pub
lished reports of the I nlted States
census bureau there is much food for
reflection. In 1900, when an nutomo

mortality rate from 'accidents from

rate which stands out with appalling
and Startling emphasis to that of 1018
when It reached 9.2 from automobile

Men Choose This Hudson , J
For Daily Rapid Transit 1
Unfailing Reliability With Comfort and Economy
Accounts for Its Popularity Among Motor Commuters
Fhe partiality to Hudson of men who regard their cars primarily for their utilitv,
is readily understood in the light of abilities for which the Super-Six stanch
supreme among all the world's cars.
ska
Those who must depend on motor transit arc uncompromising realists where
cars arc concerned
They arc seldom novice owners. And their experience has taught them knowledge
of the substantial values that endure unchanged by time. It is such men, in the
main, who for five years have made Hudson the largest selling fine car in the world.
With them reliability is the first consideration. That answered, the governing
factors are safe and rapid transit, with economy, comfort and freedom from any M
mechanical concern.
The Hudson coupe is a favorite model with all owner-drivers, and especially with
the growing thousands who communte by motor, from country and suburban
homes to their business in the city.
Until the present, we have been months in arrears of demand on this favorite
model Now. however, we can assure reasonably early delivery on a limited number
of orders, if placed promptly.
