This means, he added, that persons applying by mail for their plates should have their applications in his office by Feb. 1 in order to be assured of having their plates in time for the deadline. Plates may be purchased now over the counter at the Automobile Division headquarters in the Centennial building in Springfield and at the three Motor Vehicle Facilities in Chicago; 5301 Lexington, 5401 North Elston and 9901 South Parkway, Mr. Carpentier said.
