SECRET Of CAR

whether 1t Costs One or Ten
Thousand Dollars Makes No
Great Difference"

SHOW me an automobile in which
a large number of drop -forgings have
been used and l will show you a
good car, whether 1t cost one thou
sand dollars or ten thousand dollars, -
said John w. WHY'S, president of the
Overland factory. Whenever a part
of great strength without excess
OF weight is needed. the honest and
conscientious designer specifies q
drop-forging. regardless OF cost.
Therefore the buyer of an automo-
bile who finds a liberal use OF drop
forgings can rest assured that he has
purchased a bargain.
THE manufacturers of a few auto
mobiles annually uses drop -forgings
sparingly because they are expensive
to buy in small quantities. This is
because of the high cost of dies bought
ready made, and the small maker can
not afford a large investment in the
machinery and labor necessary in
making his own dies.
1.-The result is many manufacturers
whose production is limited buy their
drop forgings. Others make their
own forgings, but from purchased
dies. Still others use castings, which

January Sales Make
Record for Ford Go.

January is not supposed to show
the high water mark Of production in
the automobile world, but neverthe-
less the first month of 1914 shows the
largest output of any month in the
entire history of the Ford Motor Com
pany. During the month IF January
this year the Ford Motor Company
built and shipped 23,913 cars. The
largest monthly output prior to this
was June, 1913, when the number Of
cars made and shipped reached the
total Of 22,049
These figures show how the Ford
business is growing even beyond the
extraordinary proportion it reached
last season. To achieve such produc-
ton figures every department and
every executive, in a sense, had to
grow, too. The Ford plant is CON
stantly adding new machines and de-
vices, constantly testing new systems
and methods to diminish the labor,
speed up the operations, to save time
energy and the like. In this way only
can production keep pa ce with bust
ness These time and labor saving
systems (and some remarkably inter
esting ones have recently been adopt
ed form some Of the most fascinat-
ing features for visitors to inspect.

Truck Buyers Guide
Helps in Guarding
Against Troubles
New Goodrich Volume Tells You
How to Select and Keep
Motors.

That manufacturers OF trucks and
accessories are uniting in their ef-
forts to give truck buyers wanted
facts about motor transportation is
brought out by the publication of
Vol. II, Motor Trucks OF America, by
the B. F. Goodrich Company, Akron,
Ohio. This book contains a buying
guide compiled by the Review of Re-
views which greatly simplifies the
task of purchasing and ought to be
of value to every truck buyer.
1t appears that a motor truck can
be worked at a profit in almost every
class of delivery service, provided
that the right type of truck is Sc
lected for the particular class of work
it must do. And when trucks have
not been found profitable investments
1t has baen found due to lack of in
formation and consequently wrong
selection.
The aim OF the book seems to be to
supply prospective buyers this needed
data about motor transportation that
will enable them to select exactly the
right truck for their particular serv-
ice.
This book also contains illustra-
tons and specifications of truck man
ufacturers whose combined output
represents about 90 per cent of the
trucks made in this country.

Speedster Guaranteed Faster by
One Second to Lap Than
Any Other Car.

Ray Harroun. famous engineer and
designer Of racing cars, indorses his
erstwhile rival, Bob Burman, in say
Ing that all previous speed records
will undoubtedly be shattered in the
big Memorial Day classic on the In
dianapolls Speedway.
That European manufacturers will
make frantic efforts to regain their
lost ground In the American market
by building cars that will retain the
cup is a certainty.
That American makers have awak-
ened to the fact that European buyers
regard speed prowess as indicating
the value of a car is also true. Only
few American manufacturers have
taken the matter as seriously as
European manufacturers, however,
and consequently the representation
will be small and the preparations
less carefully made. For example,
most American makers will enter only
one car, whereas the European never
stakes his chances on less than a team
OF three.
First to enter the list on even terms
with Europeans is the Maxwell Mo-
tor Company. This concern alrea iy
tUJpNS very idIBt ehpOIL lTdu6 duQ
intends going after the foreign bust
ness vigorously as It goes after the
domestic trade.
That being the case, the Maxwell
company will meet the Europeans on
their own ~round-or rather in their
own way Three racing cars designed
by Ray Harroun are now almost
ready for the test under which the
designer has guaranteed they will
make lap e 1-2 miles, on the In
dianapolis Speedway I'm less than 1897
"a second faster than any car has
ever negotiated a lap on that track.
1t is little too late for the Max
well Motor Company to build cars to
compete in the French Grand Prix,
but II Is limited that next year the
company will do that also The limit
as expressed in piston displacement
for the Grand Prix is smaller than
that of any standard American car.
II the three MaxweIls make a cred
table showing against the French,
German and Italians on the In
dianapolis Speedway. II is more then
likely that another team Of three will
be made to conform to the European
standard and to race in the big Euro
pean classic next year.

are cheap, but not nearly as strong as
drop forgings, wherever possible.
cat our Toledo factory we have
the largest drop-forging plant in the
automobile industry, and we make all
our own dies and forgings. Because
we turn out $4,000 Overland cars in
a year, we can make drop-forged parts
for a great deal less than smaller
manufacturers can buy them.
This is easily explained by the
following example: If we install a
new tool or machinery equipment in
cur plant at a cost of 100000, this
cost must be divided by $4,000 to get
the cost per car, which is 81. The
maker of only 1000 cars annually
must divide this investment by 1000,
which gives a cost of 800 per car
1t is easy to see that this is prohibi-
tive burden for the small maker.
an the Overland front axle we give
a good illustration Of the desirability
of making our own drop-forgings. In
our plant this part is forged In
single heat without welding, and the
entire piece, therefore, is of uniform
strength and structure and without
seam or flaw. The method more COM
monty employed, especially in a small
plant. is to make the I-beam axle in
two halves. Each half is subjected to
an intense heat and each must be
reheated when they are welding to-
gether. 1t is not difficult to see why
the axle forged in a single heat with
out welding is superior
All the Steel Is Tested.
THE same advantage of making
our own drop forgings is shown in
the manufacture of steering connec-
lions. control levers, crankshafts,
gear blanks and dozens of
other parts. 1t Is out of the question.
because of the expense of making
dies and investing in the machinery
for a small maker to pro-
duce these parts economically. They
are absolutely necessary in car,
however, for they give strength where
strength is needed, and eliminate
weight

Auto Notes
Courtesy on the Road

Courtesy on the Road.
A kindly feeling tending toward mu-
tual benefit would result from a little
more care on the part of automobilists
to be very courteous to drivers of horses
on the public roadway. When a farmer
turns out in an accommodating manner
upon meeting an automobile, or gives
part of the road to allow an automobile
to pass from the rear, the automobile
driver should invariably thank him for
his kindness. II requires but little eff
fort to do this, and it pays well in the
end.
Storage Battery Connections.
Often the unsatisfactory service of

nectons. Where the battery Is kept In
a steel box great care is needed to keep
the terminals from touching the metal

sional touch when the battery is Jared

MRS. STOCKTON DIES

Mrs. Jennie Stockton, wife of
C. T. Stockton, passed away early
last Friday morning, after an ill.,
ness of only several days.
Mrs. Stockton was apparently
in good health the early part of
the week and the news of her
death came as great shock to
her many friends who, on ac-
count of her robust health, had
considered her indisposition as
merely temporarily.
The Stockton family have been
residents of this town for the
past six years. and have made a
large circle of friends. To these
friends she will always be remem-
bered as woman Of sterling
worth, one always ready to assist
them in their troubles, a woman
who lived as God intended woman
to live and she will be sadly
missed.
Funeral services were held from
the Presbyterian church Saturday
afternoon, the room being crowd
ed with friends who had come to
pay their respects to the good
woman who had gone before.

Committee Has Had Splendid
Success In Disposing of
Telephone Stock.

Up to three O'Clock Thursday
afternoon the telephone commit
tee had reached grand total of
eighty-eight shares of the one
hundred shares which they had
promised to sell, and this small
amount will undoubtedly be
placed in the next few hours, or
by Saturday noon at the latest.
Several members of the new
committee have been unable to
work on account of other bust
ness, and a great amount of the
labor has fallen upon only two
men. While they are willing to
work and to do all in their power
still it is impossible for two men
to cover the district, and work
has been allowed to drag.
Quite a few complaints have
been registered against the old
company, the charge of fifteen
cents to get party on the line
in the Bristol district being con-
sidered "hold-up" by most of
the people. This is condition
which the Southeastern people
intend eliminating.

held in the various towns the

hard on this proposition in all
districts, so that inside of the

will no doubt have been placed.

LARGEST CLASS IN
HISTORY OF HOLLY
Class of Fifteen Graduates Last
Friday Evening at the
Opera House

The Opera House was packed
to the roof last Friday evening by
those who wished to witness the
graduating exercises of the larg-
est class of pretty girls and manly
boys that has ever been graduated
from the local school.
These exercises were indeed a
fitting close to a years work which
has been we'll done. The parents
and friends who were present
could not help but feel a thrill of
pride coursing through tn cir
veins; the teachers, who had de-
voted their best efforts to this
end, alike felt that same feeling
of pride. while the joy that beam
ed from the pretty faces of the
girls and the proud young men
was a fitting reward to all for the
labor expended.
DIR. d. E. Phillips, of the Den
yer University delivered a most
able address on the topic 'Ele-
ments of Success not Found in
Books" The advice he gave the
class was of the practical kind
and will prove decided aid to
the young people in their future
life.
The Doctor dealt at length on
the proposition that the people
who succeeded best in this world
were those who attended to their
own business and let others do
the same. He very emphatically
stated that any one who tried to
climb to the top by tearing down
some one else was doomed to
make miserable failure of life.
Also strongly urging the young
people of the graduating class to
prove themselves worthy of con-
fidence and trustworthiness. He
said that the business world of
today wanted young men and
women who will do what they
say they will. Young men and
women who can be trusted and
who have courage to do the work
allotted to them.
: The class was composed of the
following, and each now faces
the future with the feeling that
he or she is able to cope with this
old world in a battle which may
be brought forth: Misses Helen
Hill, Ruth Demaray, Helen Rob-
inson, Edna Davis, Marie Bryce,
Elithe McMurtry, Myrtle Butler,
Millie Robson, Alice johnson,
Buelah Sayer, Dora Summers and
Ruby Oelfke; Messrs. Rex Kirk
hart, Sidney Townsley and Blake
Pierce.
Saturday night the Alumni of
the Holly High school was reor-
ganized. The high school faculty
was made honorary members of
the association. With the present
graduates. a class of fifteen
young, wide awake people voted
in as active members there is no
reason why the Holly High School
Alumni should not take a new
lease on life and proceed to do
many good things for the school
and its interests.
