space in which to dis])lay the machines which tliey have for sale, and also to store the ma- chines belonging to otlicr [larties and taken care of at this establishment. They are State agcnts for the far-fanied '"Jackson" car, and anticípate, froni present appearances, having a sale for 1910 of one hundred of these cars. The Kalcigh Motor Car and Machine Company was (irganized in 1909 and was incorporated in No-
vemlx'r of that ycar, with a capital stock of .$¿5,000. This company, in addition to its garage and sales business, does quite an ex- tensive livery business, renting machines by the luiur or day. Parties are taken to any scction of the surronnding country and every iliauft'eur employed is an expert and has a tliorough knowledge of his machine. The capi- tal of tlie company is largely controlled by l)r. A. \V. Goodwin, the president, one of Kaleigh's well-known praeticing physiciaus and a gentlenian who is interested in several local loncerns. The vice-president and manager is 11. D. Wolcott, a gentleman who has been a rcsident of Raleigh for only a few nionths. lie had the honor of being the sixth man in tl:e United States to opérate a motor car, and lias been in the business for the last sixtcen years. What he doesn't know about autumo- liiles is hardly worth knowing, and what he does know alxjut them niakes him the best [iiissible man to fill his present important posi- tion. The secretary-treasurer of the company is L. McA. üoodwin, a young man who is \v(dl known and pnjmlar thronghout the city.
