TO BE BIG BOOST
Great Interest Is Being Displayed
. in 1921 Classic; Public to Be
Surprised by Dealers.
That the automotive world of
Portland and the Northwest will
receive Ktronp upward Impetus
through the holding of the twelfth
annual automobile show, at The Au
ditorium the seeond week in Janu
ary, was the consensus of opinion
voiced at two different automotive
axfoeihtion meetings held Monday
night.-'
The meeting: of the Automobile Deal
ers' aiuiociaUon was held at a dinner in
Hie Tyrolean room of the Eenson hotel
and was attended by over 30 prominent
dealers. Immediate action was urged
toward the modification of the present
law to eliminate double taxation on au
tomobiles in the process of distribution,
which in the viewpoint of the automobile
industry is unfair to good business. Three
new members, Weljer Motor Car com
pany, J. II. Graham and Scripps-Booth
company, were elected to the member
ship of the association at the meeting,
and these new members will add their
display of --cars to the large display that
is to be featured at the annual show.
LeTtoy Field presided in the absence of
President Robinson.
The Automotive Equipment Manufac
turers and Distributors association met
in the green room of the Chamber of
Commerce to allot space in the balcony
i rooms of The Auditorium for the ac
cessory exhibits at the 1921 "show. The
space was allotted' by drawing and the
meeting was attended by 25 of the lead
ing accessory men. t Plans for an elab
orate display of this feature of the show
were discussed and much enthusiasm
was displayed in makings the show a
big success.
There are 38 passenger car dealers in
Portland who are members of the Auto
mobile Dealers' association, and outr of
this .38. 34 have already taken space for
the display of their cars in "The Beauty
Show of the Automotive World." These
Si dealers represent 51 different makes
of automobiles and 131 models wtfl iden
tify these different makes. Two mem
bers of the association have delayed
making their applications for space
pending readjustment in their individual
organizations. It is expected the bal
ance of spaces totaling 144 will be taken
this week.
First report were that the 50,000
square feet of floor space at The Audi
torium to be utilized for the display of
passenger cars- would allow for the ex
hibition of 164 cars, but this was found
to be in error, as the space as originally
piannea allows tor only 144 cars. Every
available foot of space, however, will
be used. J - f
The accessory men gathered for the
tUotment of space in the balcony rooms
if The Auditorium, where the accessory
exhibits will be displayed. The space
was alloted by drawing, similar to the
method used 'by the automobile dealers,
and he meeting was attended by over

HOW
FOR MOTOR TRADE
if rp
1ST
Unless Influenced solely by first
costs, you select the make of motor
truck you buy because you think it
best adapted to render the service
you intend to exact. .
The way to come closest to a cer
tainty in your choice is to limit
your consideration to the very few
high-grade manufactured trucks
there are on the market. There
are four or five such trucks, any
one of which is preferable to 'all
the others.
We believe the MACK is
the very best heavy-duty ,
truck that unlimited re
sources and twenty-one
years of manufacturing
motor trucks exclusively
' have produced. -
The number of satisfied owners
of MACK trucks is increasing rap
idly. The performance of the truck
is built into it at the factory. Own
ers get the benefit and that ac
counts for the truck's rightful pop
ularity. You Should Own a Mack

Accessory Concern .
Unites Departments
Tinder Single Roof
David Hodes, head of the David Hodes
company, accessory,' parts and equip
ment distributors on a large scale, noted
as the "Man with a Million Parts," has
mbved his place of business from 111
North Broadway to the quarters former
ly occupied by Chanslor & Lyon, at
Broadway and Couch streets. .
One advantage the move will give
Hodes is the chance to unite his new
and used parts departments under one
roof. For some time he has maintained
a separate establishment for used parts.
In the new building the street floor
will house the salesrooms for new parts,
while the generous cellar space will be
used to store and merchandise salvaged
parts.
Mezzanine floor space in the new quar
ters will be utilized as offices and stor
age room for stocks of parts and acces
sories. Hodes is remodeling the lower
floor to . suit the distribution of his
stocks and will probably re-decorate the
salesroom as well.

Aluminum Pistons
, Better Than Iron
Thousands! of cars today are fitted
with aluminum pistons, and in many of
them the fitting, of these parts iThcor
rect, causing .he owner io form the opin
ion that aluminum. Is Unsatisfactory as
a piston material.! This is an erroneous
idea', as aluminum pistons when properly -.1
fitted give better .results than IroirxSnes.
One of the common troubles with alum
inum pistons Is a slapping which occurs,
when the engines first started and con
tinues until It Is warmed up. To cure
this some owners' employ a heavier oil,':
but the trouble With this plan. is that
the heavy lubricant is not of the body :
that gives satisfactory p-epults after the
engine has warmed up thoroughly, .
