NEW HUPMOBILE MODEL AT SHOW
•
Announcement
Where, at Any Price
Can You Get More?
It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to
announce to the users of fine motor cars, and to
my many friends who have been besieging me
with inquiries relative to Peerless representation
in Detroit, that Peerless Motor Cars will here-
after be marketed in the Detroit territory by
Miller-Judd Company
Woodward Avenue at Warren Avenue
In accordance with our policy to insist, every-
where, on the best possible exclusive and per-
manent representation, this appointment was
made only after the most rigid scrutiny of the
facilities, personnel and standing of the many
companies which applied for the Peerless fran-
chise in the Detroit territory.
Among the exhibits at the show
which will receive extraordinary at-
tention this year is the Ilupmobile
roadster-coupe—a new model just ad-
' dad to the II upmobile
The new roadster-coupe, it is pointed
out in the factory announcement, has
practically all of the advantages of
the regular coupe at a cost of con-
siderably less than that required for .
the standard coupe.
As R. II. WillillIOS Of Williams &
Hastings, Inc., local Humnobile deal-
er, expresses it:
"The new model was especially de-
signed to meet a demand from doc-
tors, business executives and travel-
ing salesmen, for a low priced closed
car.
"In addition to provide riding com-
fort in all kinds of weather, the body
provides unusually ample carrying
space in its two compartments, for
such things as brief cases, sample
It is my conviction that the interests of Peerless
owners and prospective owners will be well served
at all times by this new Peerless distributing
company.

(Note:—Dr. Paul Nathan, whose interview granted the Berlin represent-

figure of German Jewry. It might be said that he is the German Louis

as anti-nationalist because of his stand before the war in the Ilebrew lan-

which he is the head.—Editor.)

POLICE CARS
ON THE JOB
Three Dodge Brothers Cars Valuer)
by El Paso Police Officials.
There are three "members" of the
El Paso, Texas, police force who are
fairly entitled to gold conduct badges,
according to Police Chief Edwards of
that city. The three work 24 hours
each day, never receive pay, are never
absent on account of *knees, and
pace any heat without -a morrow.
They are the three Dodge Brothers
cars of the Police Department, Whose
sudden appearance in the streets
bring fear to the lawbreaker in the
Texas city.
Police ears are calks] on for un-
usual service in that they are actually
in service or likely to be called on
at any time of day or night. Once
every month they are "steamed out"
attention given the Dodge Brothers
at the city corral, and the police of-
ficials say that this is 90 per cent of
the attention given the Dodge Broth-
ers ears.
The police reporter of the El Pam
Morning Times tells an interesting
story of an actual chase in one of the
Dodge Brothers cars which illustrates
the treatment they are sometimes
given.
"'I have just been held up by two
masked men at so-and-so corner.
wait here for you!' comes • nervous
voice over the telephone.
"Blue crated figures rush for the
Dodge Brothers cars, and in an in-
stant are on their way to the scene of
the robbery. Up dark alleys, through
unpaved streets, across litter-covered
lots, up steep embankments, and to
places one would consider impasaible,
the Dodge Brothers cars are driven in
the search. Two figures are seen to
cross the canal bridge. The car is
braked violently to a standstill, and
reversed until the street intersection
is reached. Not knowing the roadbed
upon which the car travels, the driver
paints his ear directly after the of-
fenders. Using the car as • bulwark,
a gun battle follows. The radiator
is filled with bullets, but the bandits
are finally captured. In the bullet-
ridden car, they ere transported to the
police headquarters.
"No wonder," adds the police re-
porter, "that all the police officials
are unanimous in their praise of the
Dodge Ilrothers cars."
One Dodge Brothers car has stood
up well under this kind of service
since 1917, the other two have served
since 1918 and 1919, respectively. •

SIGNAL TRUCK CORP.
CHOOSES OFFICERS
Signal Truck Corporation will con-
tinue to manufacture the Signal line
of motor trucks and has added a new
one-ton model to the line. New offi-
cers and directors have been elected
for the veteran truck concern, which
started marketing the Signal line in
1913.
M. B. Hoagland, who previous to
joining the Signal organization was
connected with the United Staten
Steel Corporation in an executive ca-
pacity, is now president and general
manager. II. S. Sternberg, formerly
with the Studebaker Corporation, is
vice-president; II. H. Emmons, sec-
retary; J. I.. Dryden, general man-
ager of the Long Manufacturing Com-
pany, is a director, and W. K. Hoag-
land of King-Hoagland Company,
bankers, is also a director.
With the announcement of the new
executive family the Signal Corpora-
tion also issues a new schedule of
prices, as follows: The new one-ton
model at $1,950; the 11/4 ton is re-
duced $500, the 2% ton $400, the
3!S ton $600, the 6-6 ton $900.
The L. F. Mullin Company, Michi-
gan distributors, will exhibit the full
line of Signals at the Detroit Auto
Show Jan. 21 to 28. President L F.
Mullin says: "Our firm is gratified
to note the added strength of the
executive family and the financial
power of the Signal Corporation, and
with the continued standard of the
product we believe that the coming
season will be a most successful one
from a business standpoint. We will
establish a number of branches in the
state to give us the proper distribu-
tion."
