CUR'S INTERIOR
ATTRACTS WOMEN
Upholstery May Enhance
Comfort, Smartness and
Ultimate Value of Car.
tttUEN It tomes to selecting the
YV family automobile, a good basis
cf procedure Is that adopted by the
light-weary American tourist who
saiJ to his partner when they mine
to the next important cathedral: "You
do the Inside and I'll do the outside."
The average woman Is quite content
to have her husband concern himself !
with the body of the car, the wheel
base and general mechanics, provided
she may have something to say about
the Inside. 1'he car's clothing, as its
upholstery may well be called. Is equal
ly import an: with the rest of the car,
for upon it depends much of the com
fort smartness, beauty and ultimate
value of the car.
In ehoos im the upholstery for the
interior, a number of distinct features
should e ?"ii<idered ? good appear
ance. design, pleasing color,
wearing quality, riding comfort, clean*
lines* nr d eeonomy. The only materl- (
al that < :m lie depended on to em- I
bmre these mportant features in one j
fabric is \?dvet imdiair. otherwise

cause ?if i?s trigiual snowy whiteness,
mohair can he dyed any shade, how
ever suHi?\ Its lustrous sheen and
soft, silky texture leave nothing to be
desired in the way of beauty and lux
urious appearance, while the long
wearing quality of pile mohair, as con
t rested with that of flat fabrics. Is un
disputed. \ velmo upholstered car
*111 he fresh and inviting long after
the rest of the car has lost Its good
appearance .,r even given itself up to
?he Infirmities of age. Because of tin*
smooth surface of individual mohair
fibres, discernible only under a micro
scope, dirt does not readily adhere to
nor penetrate them, and the material
is easily cleaned with a whlskhroom j
or by vacuum. Actual grease or dirt |
spots are removed by washing with !
pure soap and warm water.
Kasy riding, an important feature ?
when taking long trips, is assured with !
mohair velvet because there Is no slip I
ping and sliding about, as with smooth |
fabrics, and each . re of the pile tab ?
ric acts as a resilient spring to ab
sorb shocks. It is easier on the cloth
ing, too, as the reduced friction avoids
rubbing and subsequent shinlness.
Added to these advantages Is the (
additional one that they all add ma
terially to the trade-in value of the
car when the time comes to get a new j
one. In fact, it has been cotiserva- !
tively estimated that anywhere from !
fifty to two hundred dollars' difference j
can he looked for in a car whose up- 1
holstery is In perfect condition and In
viting to the eye.
