The above is a likeness OF
Hon. Robert Burrow, democrat
ic nominee for judge of the SUI
preme court. He is a lawyer
emminently qualified for that
position. He is endorsed by the
ablest lawyers of the state.
The Republican party has no
candidate for supreme court
Judge, the contest being between
Judge Burrow and an independ-
ent candidate. Judge Tyler
Campbell, who has been judge
and attorney general of the first
judicial circuit and who was the
Republican nominee for Govern
or in former campaign and is
a high Republican authority, is
supporting Judge Bnrrow on ac-
count OF his personal acquain-
tence with Judge Burrow and
his opponent, choosing Judge
Burrow as the superior of the
two candidates, and is advising
the Republican party that they
are bound to no candidate and
are free 10 support Judge Bur-
row, as he is doing. Judge
Burrow has a family of twelve
children and his heart beats
true to the interests OF the CON-
mon people. His first practice
of law was done as law partner
of Ex-Governor and ex-senator
Robert L. Taylor. All Of the
old-line Bob Taylor men are
enthusiasts for Judge Barrow.

NEW RECORD FOR FORD
Daily Average for March More
than LOO Cars.

Detroit, Mich. April Introduction fig
ures at the Ford factory at Highland
Park. Mich, are SCATTERING all records.
Eleven hundred. and more, cars day,
for twenty-six consecutive working days,
was the record in March When the last
car had passed out the factory doors, on
March 81, there had been %,1l2 Fords
built and shipped during this month OF
thirty-one days, Of which five were Sun
days.
Those who have been following motor
car production have become accustomed
TO think of the Highland Park factory
as the place where more than one thou
sand complete cars are turned out every
day. They will now have to accustom
themselves TO the new slogan of More
Than Eleven Hundred Fords a Day
When these figures are being digested.
il should be kept in mind that every car,
as soon as built, is shipped to waiting
agent. There is no storage room at the
factory, for there isn't any needed. The
Ford factory, big as il is. has its hands
more than full TO build enough cars.
An idea Of the demand for Fords may be
obtained when 1t is stated that on a sim
gle day, early in April, the factory re-
ceived orders for more than 1000 cars.

AUTO SELLING PROBLEMS
Is Factory Representation or
Dealer To Be Preferred?

There is a double problem to-day in the
successful selling of automobiles. The
prospective buyer must be pleased by the
attention he receives when buying car.
After the sale is effected his continued
good will and satisfaction depend
wholly on the efficiency and promptness
with which the local service department
meets his requirements.
Can these problems best be solved by
direct factory representation or by a
local dealer directly responsible for the
financing and service? II would seem
that the strong local dealer, with ade-
quate finances, would at least be able To
make quick decisions where financial
questions were involved. which, In the
case of a representative. would have TO
be referred TO the factory for final de-
cision The very existence of a local
dealer, of course. depends on his prop
erIv serving his customer In every re-
spect.
Much, If not everything, however, de-
ponds on the character of the car ana
the worth and integrity of the dealer.
If dependable and moderately priced
car. like the Hudson. for instance. is
represented by an active and soundly
financed concern like the A. Elliott Ranney
Company the combination would seem
TO be ideal.

BUILDING CARS IN TENT
Mercer Demand Has Outgrown
Facilities of Factory.

AS a result OF the great demand for
its product the Mercer Automobile Com
pany has been obliged to erect large
tent on its grounds at Trenton, n. j..
in order that congested manufacturing
conditions there may be relieved. Until
permanent additions can be made to the
factory buildings a tent, measuring 90
by $50 feet is being used for some of
the final operations of chassis assembling
Some difficulty was experienced in Sc
curing a tent large enough. but one Of
the big tops" was secured from Rob-
bins circus, which has been wintering
in Trenton.
A few months ago several additions
were made at the Mercer plant and it
was believed that sufficient room would
be available for some time to come. but
the Mercer's victory in the grand prize
race a few weeks ago has caused such
a food of orders TO pour in from agents
who are demanding more cars that these
new additions have been rapidly out
grown.

BOOSTS TIRES IN VERSE
Canadian Goodyear Publication
Turns Poet Loose.

Very often "house organs develop sur
prisingly high literary quality as well as
efficiency as selling agencies. Snappy
para graph columns in these private pub
locations are no oddities. Foets and YER
sifers of real merit are numbered among
those in industrial literature. and. in

reading.
Here's an example from the Canadian

publication Of the same name issued by
the Goodyear company OF Akron. 1t tells
in prose and verse the Goodyear story to
Canadian dealers as follows:

Some people never seem to see the

knocking at their door they give a loud
and angry roar. and hurl a brick at Fort
