BUSINESS ROMANCE
FILLS HISTORY Of
MOTOR INDUSTRY
Thrilling Chapter Furnished
by Recent Move of the
Studebaker Company:

When the Industrial history of the
twentieth century is finally written its
most thrilling chapters will almost sure
ly be those that tell the story of the
motor CARTS sudden dash to popular
ity, its marvellous manufacturing sue
cesses. and its costly tactical failures.
So say men learned in the lore of the
business world. Certain 1t is. at any
rate, that no department of the world s
manufacturing history has vet furnish
ed so great an amount of industrial
romance.
News of the latest feat of this kind
comes, as one has learned to expect,
from Detroit. In one week a firm manu-
featuring annually an output marketed
at $1,000, 900 completely reorganized the
executive personnel of its system of
distribution and then, with the new or
ganization in charge, scored a sales Sue
cess during the first month that eClipsed
all its former records for a similar
period.
How this was done, without in the
least disturbing the progress OF busy
selling season, Is story of vital in
terest to every business man.
The firm is the Studebaker Corpora
tion, whose mammoth automobile
division, manufacturing EMF $50"
and Flanders go" cars, maintains a
round dozen plants. The studebakers
market their their product through a sys;
service stations in the main trading
Ccnters. Each OF these supplies cars
direct to that part of the 1900 Stude-
baker dealers in its territory. The
branch managers make all contracts
and to practical ends, each is the
Studebaker Corporation in his own
region.
4 combination of circumstances
made 1t advisable, in the judgment
Of the Studebaker management, TO
eliminate a certain element in its
sales department. The change in
volved the sales manager. his assist
ant and the managers of nearly Il
third of the firms bre<ches. To the
automobile world the emergency
seemed unexpected. Such was. how
ever, far from the truth.
When Germany decided to go to
war with France. General Won Moltke
took from a certain pigeon-hole in
his desk complete plan of campaign,
drawn up months before. When his
emergency came. General Manager
Gum. of the Stude baker Corporation,
did virtually the same thing.
An experienced sales manager.
Ernest r. Benson. was already in
waiting. With him, as assistant. came
Arthur l. Philip, also a man peculiarly
fitted for his work. For every branch
in which a change was necessary
there was ready the assignment OF
manager, every appointee care
fully schooled for his particular job.

WALTER JOHNSON IS
MOTOR ENTHUSIAST
Prince Of Twirlers Owns Two
Everitts and Is Delighted
With Their Work.

Walter johnson, star pitcher Of the
Nationals and idol of the fans every

torist. He owns two Everitt cars, and
during the visit of the Nationals In
Detroit he visited the Everitt factory
where he had an opportunity to see the
car built from the ground up. johnson
is particularly pleased with the new
Everitt 'six,'' and 1t Is likely he will
own one before the season is mucf

when the Nationals were met Mon
day by w. +. Barnhart, the Everitt

How They Do 1t

No-Rim-Cut tires end rim-cut-
ting forever. And rim cutting
occurs on % per cent of all the
old-type tires.
That is proved by statistics COW
ering many thousands of ruined
clincher tires.
In addition to that, No-Rim-Cut
tires are 10 per cent over the rated
size. And 10 per cent oversize,

Against 1t.

In spite of the fact that overlooking is
one Of the most destructive influences
to which tires can be subjected, 1t is
n question whether one automobile
owner In ten has any idea of the weight
his tires are designed to carry.
Experiments have proved conclusive
ly that the life of overburdened tires is
considerably shorter than 1t Is where
the designated carrying capacity is not
exceeded Therefore, the direct effect
Of overlooking is to increase tire ex-
pense.
In order that motorists may know ex.
actly how much of a load they have a
right to expect their tires to carry the

A million and a quarter of these
premier tires have now gone into
use. They have been tested out on
some 200, 900 cars.
They were tested on our claim
that No-Rim-Cut tires cut the
average tire bills in two. And the
present demand proves they did 1t.
No-Rim- Cut tires now far out
sell any other tire in the world.
Our output now is nearly 100, 900
tires monthly.

Open ExhaustS Have
A Distinct Value

"Though the open exhaust is not
necessary for city service, 1t has a
distinct value" says Washington
motorist. When a motor is running
properly, tho explosions from the
cylinders are uniform and have a dis
tinct healthy tone. but II one cylinder
should leak compression or have a
defective spark plug, the sound from
the exhaust will readily indicate the

They save, in fact, more than
that. For No-Ritn-Cut tires are
the final result of l3 years spent
in tire making.
In perfecting them we tested
out 240 formulas and fabrics. We
tested them by netered mileage
on testing machines in our factory.
These years of tests have taught
US how to get the utmost mileage

You get all that perfection, plus

WATSON IS D. K,

Entirely False. and Asserts

John F. Stoudenmire. Of Flint. Ga,
whose wife is one Of the heirs Of the
Boyd estate, which state Game and
Fish Commissioner Jesse Mercer ac-
cuses Thomas f. Watson OF looting in
a fake" lawsuit for a mere fee, has
come to the defense Of the red headed
person" He declares Mr. Watson's
connection with the settlement Of that
estate was entirely satisfactory to the
Boyd heirs, and that the only grievance
those heirs have against anybody is
against Mercer himself.
Commissioner Mercer became very
much worked up over the alleged
wrongs Watson has inflicted upon, the
Boyd heirs and Watson's law partner.
Green. nov deceased. and threatened
publicly to make Watson right said
wrongs. or stand for "cowhiding' at
the hands of Mercer.
Watson promptly denied all wrong
doing and said that but for the law
suit he did bring against Mercer who
happened to be one Of the Boyd estate
executors, the heirs would have been
left high and dry with practically
nothing. and that, as ii was, he forced
Mercer to "disgorge' $4,000.

Now comes Stoudenmire, husband Of
one Of the Boyd heirs and, speaking
for his wife and several other heirs.
