Blueprints Saving
In Car Manufacture

One of the interesting details Of the
building Of the modern motor car is
found in the wonders Of the blue
print and of the blueprint machine.
Few laymen know anything about
blueprints. Some amateur photogra-
piers are familiar with ferro- prus-
slate paper and the potash developing
or toning bath, but even they do not
appreciate the important part that
blueprints play in the production OF
motor cars and other machinery. or
Of the fact that to the blueprint is
due much of the moderate prices that
are now paid for automobiles.
For the benefit of those who are
not conversant with blueprint meth
ods ]. w. Goldsmith. Jr., local rep
resentative Of the Hudson motor car,
explained how automobile engineers
use the blueprint for the rapid and
accurate multiplication Of their hand
drawn plans for motors, frames
bodies and all other parts Of the com
plete automobile. If II were not for
this means Of quick and cheap dupli-
cation of engineers plans and draw
ings, said Mr.. Goldsmith, II is con-
ceivable that the price Of the averag
automobile might be somewhat high
er than at present. The development
Of blue print making, from the old
when the entire process was done by
hand, 20 the era of the marvellous blue
print machines, has been remarkable.
At the Hudson factory, for example
the machines in use, driven by electric
motor, are capable Of turning out one
square yard per minute Of perfect
facsimiles Of the engineers plans.

VALUED TROPHY
WILL REMAIN
IN AMERICA
Prize Won at indianapolis by
Goux Will Stay Some Time
in New York.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-THE
Wheeler Schebler trophy. said to be
the most beautiful and richest of all
race trophies, valued at $4,000, won
Memorial Day at Indianapolis by
Jules Goux, French driver IN the Peu-
geot, viii remain in the United States
during the coming year, in posses
sion of A. G. Kaufman, of the Peugeot
Auto Import Co, Of New York, who
entered the car in the 500 mile race.
It was expected that the trophy
would be sent to France to be shown
in all the auto markets as a measure
OF the glory won by the young
Frenchman in the greatest of all auto
races. According to American STAN
dards the trophy, displayed all over
France, would have been of great
advertising value.
The Peugeot winners have the right
to possession Of the cup until a month
prior to the next race for it, when
1t must be returned TO the Indianap-
oils Motor Speedway. Before it be-
comes the property of the makers of
the car, ii must be won three times
by that car.
Both Goux and Kaufman declared
the driver would return next year
and the next and win the other two
heats of the race for the cup owner
ship. The cup went to Goux for
his record in the 500-mile race at the
end of the 400th mile. Goux's car did
notJhave a Schebler carburetor, which
equipment would have given him an
additional $1,000.

"Our business for this season up "a

Edwards. This is Is per cent better
than we expected.
This is our fourth year. We dou-

our business jumped up last year to
such proportions that we hardly ex-
pected to increase 1t this year more
than about rs per cent. This We con-
slider the normal increase where con-

In the past people have been rath-
er slSeptical on the installment method
Of buying things. but in the motor
cycle business Il is a well-known fact
that the prices are fixed by the fac

consider any trade talk. Manager
Evers when questioned said: Sure.
Tinker would be glad to get any of
that quartet for the waiver price.
Who wouldn't? In the first place, It
is always better baseball diplomacy

the policy of the Maxwell Company
to keep in direct touch with every
dealer in the South and lend assist
ance wherever necessary in the inter
est of the cars.
Mr. Booth has just returned from
the general executive offices Of the
Maxwell Motor Company in Detroit
and when asked concerning the bust
ness outlook for the Maxwell line in
Dixie he was very optimistic. why
shouldn't | be optimistic" he asked.
With the good prospects for an ex
ceptionally bountiful crop and a line
of cars to fill the needs and desires
of every prospective buyer there Is
no chance for the pessimistic germ
to get me.
that enthusiasm is the life of bust
ness. but the lungs that pump the life
blood into business are located in the
fertile soil. My recent travels through
out the South within the last two
weeks have proved to me conclusive
ly that these vital organs were never
In a more healthy condition. Crops
are flourishing everywhere. Farm
ers are becoming more and more tillel
with enthusiasm over the outlook If
the present season, secure in their
knowledge that the South is the gar
den spot of the country.

general charge of sales. He is thor
oughly conVersant with the needs and
requirements of the auto dealers and
owners throughout the South, and
will soon be in Atlanta on tour Of
inspection through the country. HIS
principal object is to look into a new
scheme of service for owners Of the
Maxwell line of cars.
yes" continued Mr.. Booth; its
true the general management wanted
to send me away to another territory
But l finally convinced them that this
section was the place for me. The
South and Atlanta always look good
and always are good, and with the
line of cars that's coming, there is
going to be some real interesting work
all the year round"
