High Water Mark in REQ
Production and Sales

A trip through the REQ factories
at this period .discloses activities such
as have never been witnessed before
in the history of the Reo-either al
the Truck plant or at the Pleasure
Car factory
The demand for REQ cars and
trucks keeps the Pleasure Car and
Truck factories in a Continual riv-
airy; this also applies to the Pleasure
car and Truck Sales Departments.
And rivalry exists between the sales
and factory organizations-the sales
men to sell faster than the factory pro-
ouces, and the factory trying to get
hundred or two ahead of the sales
men.
Last year at this time 40 REQ cars
day was the limit of production.
with the additional buildings, and
the factory facilities that were added
! last Fall, the production has been in
creased to 90 a day, which is the
daily average. There have been
many busy days lately when the
shipments have run up to 115 cars
per day.
Not infrequently during the past
tew weeks have orders been tele-
graphed and mailed to the number of
zzo cars or more a day. This indi-
Gates glowing tribute 10 the popu-
larity of REQ the Fifth. The orders
now coming in to the factory are not
oy large majority the greatest in
dication of general prosperity, for
there are over 1000 orders already
on the books for April delivery.
An immense amount of new ma
chinery was installed last fall which
greatly increased the manufacturing
facilities, and man even remotely
familiar with manufacturing, would
be impressed with the wonderful la
bor-saving devices which lend their
mechanical brains to producing ac-
curately and in large quantities in
the REQ factories.
one large building was added 10
the REQ factory for storing cars, but
that building has been as empty as
a furnished apartment in a plague
Infected city. This building was
erected without giving full considera-
ton to the popularity of the car and
the ability of the sales organization
to place the cars as fast as they were
turned out
The Truck end of the REQ business
has been hit with the same wave of
popularity and the factory is work.
ing full capacity, and then some, 70
I'LL orders on the now famous Model
j. 1t is safe predication that the
REQ Truck business will be double
that or last year.
All in all, everybody is happy
heads of departments are buster than
ever before, and the employees are
sharing the satisfaction that goes with
a busy organization.

Mexican "War Measure"
Favors the Saxon Cars

Buying automobiles by the pound
is the way they are doing it in Mexico
these days. And thereby hangs a tale.
The Mexican government in its des-
perauon to get out of the throes of
financial stringency, is levying a duty
lof fifty cents a pound on all motor
cars that are imported. Every make
of car is being hit by this duty. the big
cars being the greatest sufferers.
There is one automobile that is get
ting off easier than any other, and it
is the Saxon, which weighs slightly
more than 1000 pounds. A few days
ago the Saxon dealer IN Mexico City
wired to the Detroit factory as fol-
lows:
Send us all the cars you can as fast
as you can supply them"
A letter followed explaining that
the Saxon being the lightest on the
market less import duty is charged
than for any other cars. The agent
added that he had given up hopes
of selling the larger cars he handles
until the excessive duty is cut.
1t is announced by President H.
w. Ford of the Saxon Motor Com
pany that the high water mark of
March shipments was reached with a.
record of Sc cars shipped in a day.
The output for the last week in March
was 1877 cars.

COFFIN TALKS ON
FUTURE OF THE SIX
Predicts That Six Cylinder Cars

economy. People used to think the
very name six-cylinder meant size.
weight, extravaganza. Now we know
,, better. We can build a four. This is
| because we have lower explosive
strains to meet. We can machine a
s1x-throw crank shaft quite as cheaply
as we used to turn out a four 1t
takes no more time to bore six holes
| than 1t does four. when we use the
new multiple spindle drills and taps.
And in the items of gasoline and fuel
consumption, not to speak of lessened
tire wear. the six has demonstrated
its supremacy over any four-cylinder
car built. Yes. 1 am more modest in
my claims than some of the six
cylinder advocates. but I want to be
absolutely fair to both types. have
built them both and know them both. "
VIII the six completely displace
the four in all sizes and types of
cars?" Mr.. Coffin was asked.
Yes and no." the great engineer
replied. But in cars at price about
900 / can see no hope for the sur
vival of the four. The six-cylinder
even now dominates the field over
$1,000. 1t Is repetition of the way
in which the four swept the boards
of twos and ones when first the low
priced four was built. Twos and ones
went out of use almost over night.
Fours are mechanically less efficient
and more costly to maintain than
skies. And the whole history of ma
chinery tells us that the better type
machine inevitably drives out the less
efficient. When buyer can get a six
at s1,75Os for example, why should he
pay S1,SO0 for four? When the six
is lighter weight. handsomer, uses less
gasoline, is easier on tires. costs less
for repair. and is very many times
more pleasant and comfortable to
drive, what is the sense of even con-
siderfng the four? Yes. l designed
many fours. But we all grow and
progress. And new things are con-
stantly being discovered and old ones
| improved | see no reason why we
should stand still. If better motor
than siX-cylinder is evolved ii will
as surely drive out the six-cylinder
type as this model is driving out the
four. How far distant that day may
be, no man knows. But now the six
is supreme"

Hupp Makes Triumphant Run
Of 1000 Miles in Louisiana

A 2,0O0-mile trip over Louisiana, the
| most extensixe of its character ever
made in that state, was ended last
week when Fred Perkins, Manager of
the Capital City Auto Co, Baton
Rouge, La, and j. A. Garrity, travel
| ing salesman of the Hupp Motor Car
Company, returned to that city In q
Hupmobile.
The trip was the result Of a wager
, which Mr.. Perkins had with the man
ager of the Grand Hotel at Baton
Rouge. The boniface, Mr.. Grant in
the course of a conversation with Mr.,
Perkins, stated that he did not be-
lieve there was a car on the market
to-day that could negotiate the mud
roads of Louisiana. Mr.. Perkins de-
clared that the Hupmobile could do
it and, what was more, he would
leave the city with "32" 1914 model
with the hood, crank and battery box
sealed, travel 1000 miles and return
with the seals intact.
Accordingly he had a special glass
hood made for the car which was
sealed by Mayor Grouehy of Baton
Rouge, and he left in the teeth of a
/ hard snow storm that extended all
through Louisiana.
The contestants made the trip over
the worst roads Louisiana has known
for some time, driving from Baton
Rouge to Lake Charles as far north
as Shreveport, as far east as Mander-
vile, and as far south as New Or
leans, total of'over 1000 miles. On
his return OF Baton Rouge, Mr. Per-
kins was met by Mayor Grouchy and
! a committee of citizens at the out
skirts of the State capital and escorted
to the city hall where there were
speeches and general jollification.
MY Hupmobile acted splendidly,"
said Mr.. Perkins. I'VE didn't have 10
touch a thing on the trip, and all in
all the car was in just as good con-
dition as before we left on this Cruel
ling tour"

Good Mileage From the
Miller New Tread Band

We have just heard of some re-
markable mileage made by The Mil
ler Rubber Company's new tread
band. A short time ago we made an
announcement in these columns of the
mechanical design and special fea-
lures of The Miller retread band con-
struction. So that this quotation will
substantiate the remarks. "I got
nearly, II not quite seven thousand
miles before I turned in the old car
and got new one, and those bloom
ing tires not worn out yet" says F.
d. Blessing of Hummelstown, Pa,
VIII had his tires retreaded by The
Miller Rubber Company's Harrisburg
Pa. agency the Sterling Auto Tire
Co. This band is evidently gaining
much headway.

Hudson Production For
March Breaks Records

When the whistle blew at the close
of work at the Hudson factory on
March 81 1.204 cars had been built
and shipped.
The production of 1904 cars in a
single month would mean that AZ
cars were built day, 6 per hour
and car every 10 mintues, every car
of which was tested and inspected in
every part.
When we take into consideration the
size, power and beauty of the Hudson
and that every part was inspected in
the minutest detail. 1t was an engi-

magnitude.

PROTECT THEM FROM WANT

Suppose the Grim Reaper snatch
ed you away from your happy fireside
today. Would your wife be protected?
After the doctors and undertaking
bills were paid, would she have
enough to permit her to keep I'D the
home, live right, educate the children
and free the future years of toll and
misery? Would your plans and in
vestments all go wrong, because your
wife wouldn't have the means to CON
tinue the payments OF meet the in
terest?
No man will have any occasion for
anxiety if his provision takes the
form OF insurance. Aside from the pro-
lection at death, insurance helps him
to enjoy peace and contentment in de-
Ginning years, because of the none
he receives from the matured policy.
The cost of insurance is very mod
est compared to the benefits you and
yours receive. Let US talk it over,
now, today when you are insurable.
Tomorrow you may not be. =.
