Many esvntrs of motor cart r (tiered in New York suit rt com plaining ol tht rfinriw P'aitt , huh they art oUIif'4 w strry. They Insist that these plaits mar th appearance ft their tart, and could be nmh improved by tht expend! iur of a liti more money per pair than at present. ......

Urgt 2-Yar Plate. There are aome, too, who urge thai the copper platca could be used for two yeart by inserting into the plate, as i formerly done in California, a small dik with a design indicative of the registration year. The eaae with which auch diW are counter feited, however, has discouraged auch a course. The most important thing to nolo, however,' in connection with the movement, it the desire for plates, which from the standpoint of work, manship, strength and attractiveness, comport with these same qnalitiei which inhere in the average Amer ican motor vehicle. Something along this line is surely desirable in New York state where the motor vehicle registration platei are anything but attractive in de sign, and all too often the workman ship on them is very poor. All but 300.000 pain of the 1922 New York state registration plates were ' manufactured by the state . prison department at a cost of 17 Mc per pair. The 300,000 in question were manufactured under contract by a nrival mneern for 15 3-4c oer oair. It is possible, therefore, that quality has been sacrificed for price. When it it realized, however, that the 779,344 motor vehicles registerea in New York slate in 1922 paid a to tal of $10,288,858 in special fees into the ttate treasury, it would leem that a llMla mnr tnnnv tttt fislr Could be paid for registration platei which would be an ornament 10 motor vehicle and not an eyesore. Maaaaehtlaatta TJbtraL Massachusetts state is a little more liberal in its expenditures for ivhir thr ' utate orison at Charlestown manufactures them at a cost ranging from 18 to 24c per pair, according to the size oi me piaie, ior motor vehicles and 12c per pair for motorcycle. Whether these few cents additonal are responsible for the better appearance of the Mas sachusetts platea is unknown, yet it is a fact that they iook mucn ; oei tr than h New York elates. T vrwrtrit an anneal will be made to the proper authorities with a view to having for 1923 a plate that will be commensurate with the grade of products owned by motor ists ana tne amount oi money yam by them to tne state.

' Big Concerns Buy Fleets of Reo Cars Big concerns' are placing an ava lanche of orders for Reos all mod elsaccording to J. M. Opper, man ager of the Jonrs-Oppcr company. These large concerns investigate very thoroughly the merits of motor car values ana tiuy.witn now siaet of their dollars. The Standard Oil company of New York has just purchased IJ Reo roadsters from Charles K. flames of Albany, N. Y. .Swift & Company is buying more and more Reo speed wagons every month. The Hartford Fire Insurance com pany has given the Reo factory a bale of orders the lat 60 days, as nearly every Reo distributor knows. The Central Illinois Tublic Service corporation his just bought 15 speed waiton from R. Haas Klcctric Manu facturing company of Springfield, III. R. II. Mary & Co. has placed a good sized order with the New York branch lor speed wagons, and tne same is true of the Adams Express comoanv. The Reo business coupe and the Reo roadster have won out all along the line with concerns that have men out on the road. The Rf o speed wagon seemi to have cinched practically an os tne light fire apparatus business, very little of anything else in our class beinir sold. The consolidated school business is runnirfg almost entirely to Reos, except in the few eases where the cost of building the school was mis calculated, and, the remainder ot tne fund beiner insufficient, the boards were driven to cheap, flimsy equip ment. Reo has been accepted as the gold standard of values" and big interests and prominent individuals alike are giving it the preierence. Chalmers ofl910Stffl Giving Good Service A" 1910 model," special speedster Chalmers, owned by G. F. Woods, Little Rock, Ark., has had a hard and a widely varied career during its 11 years of service! - It was originally the property of Eddie ; Bingham, the tamous race driver, and has performed in the El gin, 111., road races and on the Pcn sacola. Fla.. soeedwav, to say noth ing of 'barnstorming" all over the country. At another time it was a scout car on the Lincoln highway. When Questioned about the car Mr. Woods said: "She is some boat and she has some record, too.- Had some pretty tough grinds, but she's still good. Guess she'll make about 90 or more per hour. She has prob ably gone way over lOU.OUU mues, but she's good for at least 50,000 more. The original factory rings and pistons are still in the motor and are in good condition. The cyl inders are not scored and have never been . reborcd." Mr. Woods was at one time mech aician for ' E. J. Kilpatrick.

See Business Revival in Sales of Cadillacs Exceptionally encouraging news on the revival of business is to be found in the report Just issued by the Cadillac Motor car company. This company has completed the best January, February and March business in its 20 years' experience. , This fact is attributed to the un usual success won by the new type 61 Cadillac cars, backed by the car's long established reputation for de pendability and good service. Cadillac officials state that every indication points to increasingly good Cadillac business for . the sec ond quarter.

Dltrtil We had thought that we realized jutt how eager t following this fine Victoria has at tracted. But the demand for the Type 61 model has ex ceeded even the fur thest flight of ourfancy. Of course, much of its appeal is due to the in nate power.dependabil ity.and glidingsmooth ness for which so many people turn to Cadillac. However; it is no secret that few motor can in the world can boast a presence so finished and so fashionable. That and the fact that the Victoria provides such convenient associ ation for four, are per haps the special reasons ' for its popularity. .
