QUANTITY NOT
The MAGIC WORD
Says Richard III. Scott, Vice
President of REQ Motor Car
Company

I'VE have heard so much about
quantity production and its effect on
quality and price, we are liable TO get
distorted perspective and to oyervalue
that one factor in manufacturing,
says X. II. Scott, Vice President and
General Manager OF the REQ Motor
Car Company.
Mr.. Scott might claim, did not a
natural modesty prevent, to be the
Oldest manufacturer in the automo-
bile DISTINGUISHING the term manu-
facturer, OF course, as distinguishing
II from simply building or making au-
tomobiles.
Beginning at the very beginning
with Mr.. r. +. Odds, who was then
the head of the Oldsmobile company,
making the still famous little curved
dash runabout. Mr.. Scott could tell
many interesting stories of the days
when the young industry was merg-
ing from the chrysalis of experiment
and developing into what 1t was des-
tined to be. the second most import
ant industry in the world. He could
tell you how, when it was announced
dash cars would be built, those who
believed the story marvelled, while
the still greater number only laugh
ed, because they considered it but the
vaporings of the advertising depart
ment
But that's another story.
Just now let's learn some interest
ing facts about quantity production
and its influence on quality and price,
from one who knows and has proven
his right to be considered an author
fty OF the first class by his success.
When you argue that only by
making the most of any commodity
can you produce the best quality, you
are stating great truth up TO a GER
tain point. And II Is q very certain
very definite point. Beyond that
IL no longer holds true-the efficiency
curve reverses." says Mr.. Scott.
For example, the principle when
applied to automobile manufacturing
holds so long as the Jig. tool and fix
ture item can be absorbed. AS soon
as you have reached a quantity where
these special tools must be replaced
The Detroit times., 1915-01-19

things would have to be equal-the
ability of the organization, the exper-
fence, purchasing power Of the com
pany and factory facilities OF course
Nor could the minimum production
cost be reached in 5000 cars IL that
was all the cars of that model the
concern ever expected TO make.
Il am assuming that the designs
has been perfected TO a point where
that chassis is likely to continue stan
dard for several years without more
than detail changes or refnements.
Nor, | think, would il be possible
for mere assembler OF parts 10 at
tain that point OF economy, for the
reason that the parts-maker, being
sure only OF an order for the first s.

OLDEST ALASKA-BUILT
 SHIP BREAKING UP

Pounding to pieces on the rocks in bleak St. Michael hay. the oldest steam vessel in Alaska will soon dis appear beneath the waves. according to advices just received from Nome
 The dying vessel is the steamship Polotofski which was one of four steam vessels built by the Russinas over fifty years ago. Two of these steamers were built in 1856 and two in 1858. The hulls were knit from yellow cedar and spruce, hewn from an Alaskan forest.
 The Polotofski was propelled by side wheels and had copper b9ilers. Her hull was fastened by copper and iron bolts which were hand made. In the early seventies this vessel was taken to Puget Sound. where her boil CTS were taken out and replaced bv iron ones. Her superstructure also was remodeled and sine was then sold to the Port Blakely Lumber com pany, and used as a towboat
 In 1897 the vessel was lowed back North, to St. Michael, carrying car % of lumber and coal. She was used as a wharf boat a time.
 During heavy gale few years go the old weather beaten warrior was driven on 9 reef IL is said that in spite of her fifty-eight odd years of service her cedar timbers are still sound. Gov.
