studebaker to Open Model Garage.

Studebaker to Open Model Garage,
As an object lesson to the army of
dealers who annually visit its Detroit
plants. the Studebaker Corporation is
shortly TO open a model automobile
garage. salesroom, and repair shop, in
which will be embodied every advanced
idea in arrangement, labor-saying de-
vices, and other details. The idea is part
of a general plan. originating with Sales
Manager Benson, who considers ii the
duty of his department to keep its re-
tail representatives in touch with the
most advanced ideas available for use
in their business of selling Studebaker
cars.
The model garage will be the head
quarters of the recently organized De-
troit branch Of the Studsbaker Corpo-
ration Of America, and the details of the
plan will be in charge of its manager
4. K. McLuney. formerly supervisor of
branches for the General Motors Com
pany.
Mr.. McLuney has been instructed to
spare neither time nor expense in work
ing out Mr.. Benson's plan. In addition
10 the arrangement and equipment of his
branch, Mr.. McLuney will furnish OBJ
ject lessons to visiting Studebaker deal
ers in window display, floor arrangement,
repair economy, and a score of other de-
tails. He will also systematic plan
of service, designed to keep every Stude-
baker car owned in Detroit. at its maxi
mum efficiency all the time. A further
detail will be the arrangement of an ideal
basis for handling subagencies, of which
there will be more than 100. tributary
to the Detroit branch.
The model garage will be housed in
beautiful new hre-proof building, two
stories high, faced with white tile and
located at the corner Of Woodward and
Charlotte Avenues, in the heart Of the
Detroit retail district. This building was
planned for the United States Motors
Company, which occupied It until re-
Gently with the general Offices Of its
affiliated companies, and as a distribut-
ing point for Michigan. Architecturally
and in general arrangement, the building
lends itself readily to the novel purpose
OF the new Studebaker branch.

Presbyterian

Nothing could have been more unex-
pected than the action on church union
taken at the recent meeting in Edmon-
ton OF the General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Chur. OF Canada In view
Of the large minority OF Presbyterians
who had voted against union with the
Methodists and Congregationalists, II
was fully expected that the only thing
for the assembly 70 do was TO call a
halt IN proceedings for the present. In
anticipation Of this the other negotiat-
ing denominations were already planning
their own aggressive campaigns as II
union had ceased TO be a live question.
II was an occasion OF great surprise,
therefore. when the assembly. taking its
stand on the favorable features OF the
negotiations. with one voice determined
TO make these the basis on which i'm
mediate steps should be taken toward
An early contamination OF organic union.
The significant thing was that those
who had previously been leading oppo-
nenets OF the union became equally en-
thusiastic with the others in supporting
this movement, in full recognition Of the
trend It undoubtedly had. many OF these
opponents gladly accepting appointment
on the enlarged union committee. Plans
were at once set in motion not only for
the most complete cooperation possible
OF the three bodies in home and foreign
missions, IN social service, evangelism
and moral reform. but also In the de-
nominational publications and the de-
nominational colleges: perhaps likewise
in q common hymn book. Tears OF Joy
flowed down the faces OF many OF the
veteran members OF the assembly, and
II was felt by many that the day wit
Messing this action would prove to be
one OF the great days in Canadian
church history.

stances. however. they win remain in
the university to fulfill the conditions
prescribed for the obtaining OF higher
degrees. The results are the more
gratifying because the sisters have for
a long time been appealing 70 the Catho-
lie University for help in their educa-
tional work. In the midst Of all their
school occupations they have been profit
ing by every possible means to keep In
the foreground as regards Improvement
of method and curriculum. They have
found time TO follow college, normal. and
school courses; and they
went to the university. therefore, not as
