JACK HOLMES
 SEES SYSTEM
Young Sales Manager for Overland Agency in Ari- zona Returns from Con vention Bearing the First Prize for Record Year

1 When asked yesterday evening for 1 his impressions of the great Overland ! automobile factory at Toledo. Ohio. 1 Salesmanager Jack Holmes of the Ari- 1 zona agency said with modestY becom- l ing his station, "I saw so many won ] dcrful things over there to speak of l them would sound like a list. I am not
 an expert observer, nor do I gather inn l pressions like a phonOgraph record. Put I can tell you in a very few min utes what is THE great thing at the | factory. It is system, absolute all in ] cluding system. Why not even time is wasted there. I tell you now it may sound like boasting or as they say it another way "bOOsting" but the reas son 1 for the Overland car today is not q 1 factory. plenty of money and set of 1 handsome dashing sales agents. but the gigantic system evolved by Manager Bennett, in charge of all Mir. Willy's affairs
 To break in here a moment, it is nee 1 essary to state that Holmes in company with his chief, Eugene Brady O'NeiI left over a month ago for the Overland convention at Toledo. They saw the statesmen from every country on earth convened with them, took the highest prize for opening new territory and then vacationed for time in the east O'NeilI is now in Washington compIct- ing his outing. and Holmes returned on
 the morning train yesterday to take
 charge of the business here
 Tied down to some special feature of
 Overland factory work, Holmes con
 fessed that the drop forging plant and
 the radiator plant had the greatest fas-
 cination for him while he was visiting
 the place whence come Overlands The
 drop forging department is the best
 equipped in any auto factory according
 to Holmes, and puts more drop forg-
 ings into the cars than any other mak-
 CT. Radiators are made at the Over
 land radiator branch for thrty-tNo
 different American made cars beside
 the home car. Tons upon tons of cop
 per are used in making the radiators
 Buyers are busy the year round cor
 nering the worlds supply of copper and
 aluminium for the Overland people.
 As for the people who make Over
 lands and market them, Holmes could
 not say enough of praise They are
 the finest set of men l ever met It
 took Mr. O'Neil and I three days to
 meet all these fellows. Upon our ar rival in Toledo We received a number of appointments to meet the makers and sellers of our cars. It took us three
 days to do it. We two from Arizona were the only ones in the entire crowd who earned a visit to the big chief who is so busy that he never lays eyes on one Of his statesmen. MT. Bennett sent out for us. having heard We had made the record sales for new territory. We ! spent two hours with the manager, and I never passed a more pleasant and i profitable time with anyone. Overland 1 will build 45,00O cars this coming year. | Of this number over 42.OO0 are con 1 tracted for at the present time. Three | hundred or more of that output will ! come to Arizona. where We expect a !! record year with more sales than ever" |

HOW VALUES GREW
 IN EIGHT YEARS
F. G. Wolf Made $1ooOo On Forty
 five Acre Tract

How land values have SO greatly and rapidly increased in this valley was illustrated by deal yesterday in hich r. c. Wolf sold 2 fcrty-fiVc acre tract along the Glendale car line north of the Grand canal to the Homo Builders for $14,00O, more than $500 an acre. MT. Wolf began acquiring this property eight years agO when hc was employed at the Indian school.
 I!c bought the first of it for $30 an acre Later he bought more. paving $4O Ter some and $45 for a part of
 it. He was advised at the time by
 people who thought they kr CIV all
 about the present and future values
 of real estate that he was making a
 Ead bargain; that the land was
 worthless; that it was not in the rlGht place and that he would not be
 ale to get water for it. But MT.
 Wolf had faith in that particular To-
 cdlity and still later he bought a
 small adjoining acreage, paving $1O0 an acre.
 He secured A water for a part of the land and B water for the rest
 of it. The Glendale car linc added r. i-s value and finally it became pros pective sub-division property It is
 understood that the Home Builders bought it for that purpose MT. Wolf believes that if he had held it a lit
 te longer he could have got a still
 niger price for it. But he has cleared
 $10,OO0
 Immediately after this deal he
 bought through Greene and Griffin,
 quarter section twelve miles direct ly west of the Indian school. It was the property of Vernon Cook, who is connected with the firm. MT. Wolf
 at once named his new holdings the
 West End View Dairy and Stock
 Farm which he is going to make
 one of the model ranches of the val
 lev.
