Studebaker Automobile
Plants Work Overtime

Using every possible man that ELL
cheney will permit in the five Stude-
baker automobile factories at Detroit
the company is forced to work some
departments at night to keep up with
the demand for cars. Not only is the
American demand far larger than al
the same time a year ago, but orders
from both England and Australia far
exceed those on file at this time last
year. Reviving business conditions in
Canada have caused an influx of or
ders to the Canadian factory at Walk
erville, Ontario, and 200 additional
men have been added to the force
there.
THE present situation, demanding
maximum production. is gratifying in
the extreme" said E. r. Benson, vice.
president in charge of sales of the
Studebalier Corporation, in comment
ing on the necessity for night work.
We are crowding every department
to get 100 per cent. production and
100 per cent. efficiency Just now we
are turning out over 200 automobiles
day. and still we are not able to
catch up with our orders.
"In a sense, we were prepared for
the jitney bus demand, which, origi-
mating in the west. is now sweeping
the country. We already had a body
adapted to the economical carrying of
pared at first for the great number of
orders that have been pouring in upon
us from excited dealers who are eing
pushed for immediate delivery py men
who want to get the cream of this
business with our 12-passenger bus.
Fifteen of these vehicles were sold in
Kansas City in one week. Other
western centers of population were
not far behind.
THE demand for another Stude-
baker type-the delivery wagons
indicative of better business condi-
tions and the further development of
a new system of freight transporta-
ton. We have found on inquiry that
these are for suburban and even i'm
terurban use, as well as for city de-
livery purposes. All an enterprising
man needs Is a machine TO work up a
profitable business in the handling of
lighter freight. 1t can be done
cheaper and more eXpeditiously by
the auto than by any other means.
The men who are first in the field.
of course, Will monopolize the better
routes and the good roads. Perhaps
that accounts in part for the present
rush to buy Studebaker machines.
"As for touring cars, 1t seems as il
everyone in the country is trying to
buy at the same time. I believe the
great advertising of California exposi-
tons with the attendant publicity
given the transeontinental highways
may have a great deal to do with the
automobile activity. Out OF 500 sta
tions on the Lincoln Highway. about
500 are the homes of Studebaker
Service Stations"

Empire Salesman Puts
Car Through Hard Test

Break it up il you can" demon
stration is the kind that appeals to
the prospective automobile buyer.
The salesman in keen competition to
swing favor to his car in preference
to others is eager to grasp any new
feat that will show his car to advan-
tage; any stunt that will emphasize
the power and sturdiness of his ma
chine.
Something decidedly novel along
this line is originated by the Stimson
Automobile Company, Minneapolis
distributors for the Empire car. The
extreme strength of the Empire trans
mission and other driving parts has
always been held as big talking
point of the sturdy chassis. Such vir-
tues are, OF course, best demonstrated
by long, hard service, but as this is
manifestiy impossible in the case of
new car, something out of the ordi-
nary was required.
AS test the stunt finally decided
upon was most convincing. 1t was the
last word in punishment of the car
and an extreme effort to 'break it up

high speed as possible in low gear
and without stopping was shifted into

LIGHT WEIGHT IS
AID TO GOOD ROADS
Small Upkeep Expense Astonishing
on Boulevards Where Heavy
Traffic Is Not Permitted
BY Roy ID. Chapin
Chairman Good Roads Committee
National Automobile Chamber q

OOOu lhOduS O0mnllIIep,
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce.
To build and maintain good roads
would be comparatively easy and in
expensive were we assured that the
bulk of their use would be by light
weight automobiles. 1t is from very
heavy cars and from trucks that
roads receive their hardest use.
Boulevards and parks where travel is
restricted to light travel require an
astonishingly small expense for upr
keep. Moderate weight on fairly large
section tires should be encouraged 10y
all municipalities interested in build
ing and maintaining good roads. TO
be sure this can hardly be attained by
legislative action but much may be
done by educational campaigns tend
ing toward the fostering of this idea
In the public mind. The oiled roads
of California are famous. Yet many
or them cost but a nominal sum to
build and maintain. Florida seems re-

look to see great improvement in
the construction of cheap and excel
lent roads in the near future Could
we but be assured that only light
weight motor cars would be used on
them the problem really is simple.
Even a good dirt road however is a
big improvement over the highways
that usually are found in the major
part of the United States and q good
dirt road, excepting in the very worst
season of the year, can be had with
the expenditure of practically moth
ing but little labor. The King split
log drag can be made by any one
with the expenditure of almost no
money and very little time, and its
regular use by those doing roadwork
in any community will vastly improve
even the poorest of dirt roads. 1t is
perhaps too much to expect that con-
crete or brick roads could be laid
through all the rural districts but it
is not too much TO expect that the
cheap improvement of roads that al
ready exist, is something which should
be taken up by every municipality.
What is needed is not so much money
as it is energy, and willingness to i'm
prove the roads. The fact that very
many farmers are buying automobiles
is a big assistance, because no sooner
does a farmer become possessed of a
motor car than he realizes as he never
did before the advantage of the good
road and the ease with which it may
| be constructed and maintained.

Remarkable Test of
Hill-climbing Ability

What is declared to be the most
strenuous hill-climbing feat ever per-
formed by a motor car in the South
west is a trip made by an Overland
Model 81 touring car to the "Hole-in-
the-Rock" near Phoenix, Arizona.
In lieu of a road up the steep cliff,
the car was forced. to push its way
up n incline of 80 per cent. over a
loose gravel trail. There were two
bad turns with the path on the bare
face of the cliff. This necessitated
slowing down to n speed little faster
than a walk, eliminating any advan-
tage which might have been gained
from a flying start. Consequently the
car was forced to make the climb en-
tirely on its own pulling power.
The "Hole-in-the- Rock" has al
ways been said to be inaccessible for
vehicles. So far as is known, the
overland is the only motor car which
ever successfully negotiated the climb.
A remarkable feature of the test
is that the car was equipped with
smooth tread tires and no chains were
used.
