In the five-mile open event, which De

Lee Huff manager Nebraska Huick of
Omaha said: "For the last thirty days
some very wild rumors and absurd state
ments have been going the rounds of the
trade concerning the number of cars of its
1910 production this company still lias on
hand and which were being disposed of
In many instances at the customers own
figures.
"These rumors have lieen without founda
tion and were so ridiculously absurd that
it seemed hardly worth while tr explain
them away or pay any serious attention
to them, although tliey have occasioned
many Inquliles. Such rumors could eman
ate from but one bource. I. e.. our iom
petltois. many of whom it seem have
been spending much time and energy In
spreading these stories rather than In
pushing their own business.
"One of the stories that gained consider
able, circulation was to the' effect that
Sears-Roebuck & Co., a mail order house
of Chicago, had purchased a large number
of our cars and were selling them at
greatly reduced prices."
To prove conclusively that there Is
nothing to this last report, Mr. Huff ex
hibited a newspaper Item, clipped from a
recent Chicago Journal, bearing directly
upon this subject, and which was a denial
of the whole thing by Albert H. Lneb,
vice president of Sears-Roebuck & Co.,
and which characterised it as a "ridicu
lous story.'
Predrickson's garatre Is usually a center
of attraction Ak-Sar-Ben week. The
Chalmers-Detroit Is seen everywere In the

Although the annual motor car show at
Madison Square garden Is several months
away. Inquiries have been received already
at the offices of the Pierce-Arrow Motor
Car company at Buffalo as to whether the
company will have any cars with special
bodies on display at the coming exhibition.
It would seem from this that the displays
of special cars shown by the company at
former A. L. A. M. exhibitions has led the
public to expect something of this kind
from this company.
Three years ago it inaugurated this cus
tom by showing a suburban car, the In
terior of whlcn was finished In hand-tooled
Cordovan leather. This was a new ma
terial as applied to motor car upholstering,
but so cordial a reception was It given that
it has now become a stock material for this
purpose. Two years ago the Pierce-Arrow
Motor Car company had on display a car
finished In the style that took its name
from Louis XVI. As an example of the
exquisite In motor car body construction
this car, In the opinion of those artistically
Inclined, has never been approached. At
the last show the special part of the Pierce
Arrow exhibit consisted of a six-cylinder,
sixty-six-horse, power landau fitted for
long distance touring. It was fitted with
a number of baggage and toilet facilities
that would appeal to the tourist and was
received with such approval by the public
that it is now onu'of the company's regular
stuck models.
No announcement has been made as yet
by the Pierce-Arrow company about what
It will show at Madison Square warden at
the coming A. L. A. M. exhibition, and it
Is not expeited that any announcement
will be made until a week or so before the
show opens.
