Memorial jiervices will be conduct WOOD RIVER New Theater For Wood Several parlies visited Wood ALL DEALERS ARE GETTING IN 1920 MODELS AND THEY ARE PRETTY AND VERY CLASSY. If it Is true (hat (here are now over a thousand automobiles, passenger cars, and trucks, In the city of Alton It IB also trije that there will be half as many more autos In Alton by (he end of next summer ft the dealers can get them.

Right now the Ford distributor? are over a hundred Fords Behind and Hugh Homtman could deal out couple of hundred Fords If he could line them all up ap one time and have a tag on them "For Sale." It Is the some with most of the j'---other dealers, they are behind in filling orders and are petting cars as fftBt as they can but not keeping up the demand. When the spring comes In 1920, after there has been a lull because of the wiftirr -weather, there will be wore cars to be secured and It Is ex- peeled there will be the biggest business in the history of the auto busl- nees in Alton. The growing number of autoa In the City has likewise caused the tire and accessory business to grow until today the tire business and the accessory buBincBR is in itaelf a big business In Alton. Most of the cars that are handled by the dealers are now safe from the Standpoint of securing moat small parts because these Btnal Ipnrts arc carried In stock by the dealer and he can supply the part. None of the larger cars are protected to this extent RB IB the Ford, hut there are dealers carrying a larger of parts and bolts and screws than ever before and soon all of the standard cars will be able to be repaired in the garage where they wore purchased.

The watchword with all of the dealers now IB to Iteep their particular brand of cars going to keep them running, for to keep a pleased auto customer you must keep his car going. His IB happy when it's run- ping and grouchy when it's down. Don Barrus Takes On the Cleveland Agency. Don A.

The Cleveland is not a new car but Is new in this city where few of them have been seen. -Alt Roads Fairly Good ot This Time. The roads all over the territory adjacent to Alton are In fairly good conditon Just now. The rains, have laid the roads and the autos in a short time press the water out of the mud and make a path in the road. Even after the rain are good unless you meet another car or rig and have to get out of the beaten path.

Interest In the Jerseyville Road Increases Dally. There Is probably more Interest In Alton right now over the prospect of a hard road to Jerseyville than there is oner thp hard road building down In the valley toward St. Louis. The o'clockvglaanoer State road Is looked upon ns a cort of industrial business proposition (but the Alton-Jerseyville and Alton-Brighton and Plasa rond propositions are looked upon as a business proposition and also pleasure propositions by the grent hords of nulolsts whb like to go west Instead of east when they go out tor a drive. The Alton Merchants be- ieve the Jerseyville and Brighton and Plafla roads will be more valuable to them than the state road can ever be.
