m The special articles are unusually
strong and are of peculiar value
u and interest. "The Triumph OF the
South" by Judson c. Welliver, is strlk-
ing paper on the utter obliteration OF all
sectional feeling, as eXemplified in the
number of Southern and Southern-born
men high up in the councils of the nation,
including the President. the Speaker OF
the House, the leaders of both the House
and the Senate, many Cabinet ofhcers'
chairmen of important committees, ETC.,
etc. It is profusely illustrated with por-
traits. A striking illustration of how far
back into the dim past the Civil War has
receded is shown in the fact that among
the Sc members of the Senate and the 435
members of the House but 7 ex-Federal

REPAIR PROBLEM IS
GREATEST OF MAKERS
Furnishing Of Duplicate Parts
Is One of Hardest Questions
Put Up to Makers.

''One of the greatest problems m auto
nishing of duplicate parts for repairs on
the earlier models says Robert H.
Martin. manager of the Buick Motor
Company's Washington branch.
THE longer a concern has been in
business. the greater becomes the prob
lem. because no amount of calculation
will enable the manufacturer to figure
at all accurately the character or num-
ber of parts that are going to be re-
quired.
ut is. of course, not hard TO esti-
mate the length of service of the crdi-
nary wearing part giving a certain
average number of miles per year, or
the approximate requirements Of the
average bearing, but when il comes to
the parts that have no wear, which
are broken only under extraordinary
circumstances, there is absolutely moth
ing on which to base production and
the stock to be kept on hand The
manufacturer has TO take a chance.
Il think the Buick Company has prob
ably come the nearest to solving the
problem because we always keen a du-
plicate stock covering a certain number
OF models of every part. no matter how
insignificant. This has been done since
the construction Of the very first car,
Records show that some of the parts In

MANY MILLIONS SEE
GOODRICH TIRE ADS
Company's Campaign Appeals
to Population Of the U. S.
Twice Over Every Month.

Some one with a penchant for figures
has estimated that the advertising OF
Goodrich tires reaches 240. sc. I39 people
each month. In other words. the Good
rich campaign appeals to the entire
population of the United States twice
over every four weeks.
The advertising done by the B. F.
Goodrich Company is included in a
carefully planned campaign which goes
into several different forms of pub
licity. There are certain accepted rules
who will see an advertisement, de-
pending upon where it is published or
placed.
The Goodrich newspaper advertising
campaign, for example, covers list Of
leading dailies. including The Washing
ton Times, whose combined circulation
is 6.321 ,o40. A conservative estimate Is
that each newspaper has four readers.
On this estimate the newspaper ady er-
tising alone reaches each month 10l,-
1856. $40 people.
Taking into consideration the other
forms of advertising used by the Good
rich tire concern, the grand total OF
people who see and read Goodrich ad-
vertising is estimated to be the amazing
number of 240. 2s6, TS9 each month:
This not only. shows what a tre-
mendous task a great institution faces
when IL executes an advertising COM
paign of comprehensive national and
local scope, but also gives a fair idea
the big manufacturer who must get his
goods before and to the people. and his
belief in the convincing force of public
appeal.
