627 OVERLANDS A DAY

A new shipping record was establish
ed by the Willys-Overland company on
September 20 when 627 cars left the
factory. Never before in the history
OF the big Toledo concern has it been
able to reach this high water mark in
daily production. Z.
During the past four months the pro-
duction of the Overland factory has
grown tremendously. In June the ship.
ments average 800 cars a day. Before
the end of August this was increased
to 500 cars a day.
During September the shipments of
Overlands again showed marked in
crease, each week in the month being
larger than any of those preceding. In
the four days from September 81 to
30 inclusive 2233 cars left the big To
ledo plant. On the last Wednesday of
the month 627 cars were shipped, new
days record for the Overland company.
From April q, when the shipments of
new models first began to leave the
factory up to September 80, the Over
land had shipped 1927 cars. During
the same production period, on last
years models shipments amounted to
81 ,426 cars. This was considered a
phenomenal record at the time, yet 1915
shows an increase of over 1873 per cent.
By shipping 627 cars on September
30, the factory not only broke all form
er records but it fulfilled the prediction
made by its president, John N. WHY'S,
last January. At that time Mr.. WHY'S
made public the fact that he believed
the Overland company would jump its
production up to 600 cars day before
another year had passed. Even his
closest associates considered it a hazar-
dous statement to make as the factory
at that time was producing less than
200 cars day.
However, they did not know of the
stupendous building operations that Mr..
WHY'S had in view. The Toledo plant
at that time contained an aggregate of
sixty acres of floor space. This has
been increased to more than eighty
acres and with the completion of build
ings now under way the Overland plant
will have 1913 acres of floor space. AS
it stands today the Toledo plant is the
largest plant devoted exclusively to the
manufacture of automobiles in the
w0rld.-Adv.

:wouLD-BE GOVERNORS GALORE

The State political pot has already
begun to boil and gubernatorial candi-
dates who think they can defeat the
present incumbent are as thick as autumn
leaves. Judge Walters of Twin Falls
has been mentioned as possible can
didate, but owing to the large legal
practice he has accumulated since re-
firing from judgship it is doubtful
if he would accept nomination if
handed to him on silver platter. 1t
seems that gubernatorial honor is de-
cidedly on the wane and no one with
comfortable income seems to appre-
ciate it, except it be someone like Nose
who can be on the job periodically and
run it profitably in connection with a
string Of clothing stores. Senator Davis
an American Falls banker, and man
Of in irreproachable public and private
record, is prominently mentioned as a
candidate for governor, and if elected
we believed would be a credit to the
State. ex-governor Haines wants re.
election and we believe he is entitled
to it for the purpose Of vindication as he
would have been tho present governor
had State Treasurer Allen been honest.
Many voted against him thinking he
was q party to Allen 3 populations, but
time has proven that he was innocent
Of the charge and had made good
governor.
