DY ANXIOUS BUYERS

That the hew 1916 model Maxwell car bat met with the approval of motorists in and around Richmond is conclusively demonstrated by the sale of twenty of them through the agency Of the MeCdnaba company during the last four weeks. As fast as the cars hive Been received from the factory they have been delivered to anxious buyers. Orders continue to be received and deliveries will be made promptly after August 1. Three carloads of Maxwells are 6a the way here and ere expected daily'. The Maxwell Touring ear at $655 is ad autopobiie bargain. This price ii not F. O. fc., Detroit, but it Means that you get your car delivered to you here fully equipped Including electric starter, electric lights, magneto Ignition, "one-man" mohair top, demountable tims. Witidshield add tire carrier at the factory price.

PILOT FACTORY MAY CONSTRUCT NEWJUGS George E. Seidel, President Reports Decided Increase in Foreign Business in Last Few Weeks. in order to meet the demand for the 19 1 model pilot automobiles, the Pilot . Motor Car company is contemplating the erection of new1, factory buildings, add it Is possible thai -Work on them will be started id the near future, stated George E. Seidel in an idterview today. More' contracts have been received to date than were secured all of last year and every Indication is that there will bd f-Wlce as many Pilots sold this year as there were last. two dew models will be placed oh the market lh about two Weeks', but Mr; Seidel did not care to give out their specifications at this time, other than to say that one Would be an eight cylinder seven passenger, selling at $1,785, and the other a light six cylinder five passenger selling at $1,100. The company will continue to construct a six cylinder seven passenger at $1,685 and a light six cylinder at $2,485, as in former years. liike the other automobile manufacturers in Richmond the pilot company is receiving many inquiries from abroad and their business in foreign countries promises to be larger than ever before. Estimates are noW being made for one hundred, chassis' for the Allies. These chassis' are to be sent Without body or other parts. The popularity of the Pilot cdr is Increasing at a rapid rate. The fact that the company Will be forced to double its output for 1916 is Sufficient recommendation in itself.

DELIVER 32 FORDS

The Bethard Auto Agency has brought thirty-two Ford cars over the roads from Indianapolis since Tuesday of this week. Stretched out along the road it must have looked to many who saw them pass as though an automobile parade was in progress. It Is believed that this IS the largest number of automobiles ever brought into Richmond at one time.

DAVIS CfOAHY ADDS "TWELVE" TO NEW LINES OF 1916 MACHINES

The Davis Motor Car company, will place a new six cylinder five passenger automobile oil the market for 19i6 and will havd it ready for delivery about the 10th of August The new model will sell for $1,250 add promises to be a surprise to motorists when placed on the market. When asked for details as to its special features, George W. Davis smiled but refused to give any information. The company will, of course, continue the construe tion of its previous models, twelve cylinder seven passenger ear at $2,000 and a six cylinder seven passenger car at $1,850. Also a four cylinder five passenger car at $1,165. Shipments of the 1916 models have been in progress for the list sitxy days and the factory is Working to its fdll capacity.- Orders now on hand for the immediate shipment of DaVis ears will keep thd factory busy for the entire year. "Nineteen hundred and fifteen was

a very successful year," Mr. Davis said. "Shipments word larger than ift any previous year but Indications are that 1916 will eclipse It Demands for our product last year were ad heavy that we cleaned up every ear We built In 1915-16 by Jane 1. this year's shipping schedules are heavier than ever. All our old customers have Sent in orders for the 1916 model and Id Addition to this We have closed a contract With d firm in Montreal, Canada, for a large number of six cylinder seved passenger cars, ds well as tie new twelve cylinder model. We have also received inquiries from matijr foreign countries including Great Britain, France, Russia and others besides Cuba, Porto Rica and South Amorlca. Indications point to our securing a portion of this foreign business."

Gas Fumes for Fans 4.4. 4 With Machine Fever

About 300 species of turtle and tortoises are known. Some of these attain a very large size.

BY GAS O. LINE. Speaking of automobiles it might perhaps, be impolite not to mention the Ford. Apologies unnecessary. The Ford speaks for its own comfort. Nearly sixty of the little "buzi" Wag' 6ns have been sold here during the last sixty days and more have been ordered. Not many "gas wagons" are seed around town these days because the farmers are busy with the harvest trying to gather enough money to gether to keep the old boat going when the snow beginB to fly. Gasoline Is now being retailed at thirteen cents a gallon In Rlehmdrid. Nine cerita a gallon Is the price just a little north of here. There's a Chevrolet car down at the McConaha garage that's laid up for repairs as a result of a collision night before last. The car ahead was not going fast enough so some lamps and other apparatus got smashed. That's all. No one hurt.

Many complaints are being made about the parking of care 6n -the streets add the complaints are justifiable for it is a pretty bard proposition at times to find a place anywhere near Where ybu want td go to drive in near thd sidewalk.' Over two hundred and fifty Ford cars have been sold in Richmond this year. This Is a little better than one a day. Some salesmen alright or maybe its Some car.
