mechanism only as an opportunity and
has fitted II into his business as a unit

business acumen he has developed for
years in every department, and giving

the most Of its mechanical possibility.
In So doing the motor truck has taken
the business man a step farther IN his
own development and has shown him
how the recreation Of today becomes the
serious business Of tomorrow
Not only has this affected the busi-

man at the bottom. The man who

had no business sense. IL learning the

FORD PRODUCTION
INDUSTRIAL MARVEL
Five Hundred Thousand Cars
a Year Is Prediction Of .Fu-
ture Output.

When the Ford Motor Company re-
duced the prices of its cars August 1.
the percentage Of the cut was larger
than that Of any ever made by any
automobile company. 1t is said. These
reductions are made In the pursuance
Of the hxed policy Of Henry Ford.
adopted ten years ago when he estab-
lished his great industry In Detroit. to
see his motor cars at the lowest figure
which his product would permit con-
s.stent with his ideals as to quality.
SO tremendous has been the success
OF the Ford cars that the production ha4
advanced each year with extraordinary
become one Of the marvels of the indus
trial world. This magic growth has en-
shled Mr.: Ford to batter down the
prices OF his car to q point within the
reach Of the pocketbook Of everyone
some predict the Ford production will
years. That the idea of one concern
building and marketing 10000 cars in
one year Is not a mere dream Is realized
when It Is known that during the season
which will close october !, the Ford
Company will nave built and sold APP
proximately 1S5,00O cars. When CON
cern achieves this much In ten years,
the half-miilion mark may be regarded
as a certainty and goal that will r.
reached In a comparatively few year..
What the Ford prices then will be Mr..
Ford has not stated, but they will be
as low as a huge production can make
tfem, consistent with Ford quality. .
About the time Henry Ford estab-
l1shed his business he .Npre ssed the fol-
lowing sentiment, an ideal that he has
realized:
II will build a motor car for multi
tides. 1t shall be large enough for the
fEmiiy but small enough for the un-
skilled individual to easily operate and
care for. and be economical in mainten-
ance. II will be built Of honest ma
.eI1als-hy the NEST workmen that
morey can hire-after the simplest de-
signs that modern engineering can de-
wise. But 1t shall be so low in price
that the man of moderate means may
own and enjoy with his family the
blessings Of happy hours spent in God s
great open spaces"
The reason that a railroad passenger
car rides easier than a railroad freight
car says Irwin T. Donohoe, distributor
of the J. VI. shock absorber in Washing
ton. ''is that the passenger car has. in
addition to the ordinary laminated
springs. sets of helicai springs. J. NJ.
shock absorbers perform the same i'm
portant function In relation to motor
car that helical springs do on the rail-
road passenger car. The shock absorb
ers contain helical springs that provide
the additional vibrator needed for per-
fectly easy riding. Not only do these
shock absorbers make The car ride
easier. but they reduce tire expenses
and add to the speed Possibilities of
the car. They are made in a variety of
sizes for different sizes OF cars and
types of springs" .s

Radiators on motor trucks

The world has seen no greater mis-

Don't Crack Porcelain
\ By Using Heavy Wrench

Don't use a heavy wrench in tighten
ing the brass bushing, or. the porce-
lain might crack when you least ex-
pect IT," says a spark plug maker, -
and also be Sure you don't leave any
OF the nuts loose on the spindle as a
loose electrode will cause leakage of
comr ression and finally cause bow
out.
Another thing to he careful about
is to be sure you have not screwed the
spark plug into the cylinder 10 care
lessly that there will be n leakage Of
compression. Tighten the new plugs up
after the motor has run for Il few MIN
utes, II 1t Is needed then. This takes
care Of the allowance for expansion
caused b. the heat and saves the ruin
ing Of the plug through cracked porce-
lains."

Frames Stifened BY
Too Light Boiling

Sometimes a squeak in car cannot
be readily located. despite the fact that
Oil has been lavished upon every part
under the body and that the springs
have been given all the care necessary.
II is not infrequent that body Is
bolted down to the frame too tightly
This has the effect of stiffening 1t to
such an extent that when the frame Is
twisted a little through road uneven
ness 1t prevents the body from follow
ing the frame. Nothing Is gained oy
boltins the body down too tightly.
