Bayles Praises Employees.

Following upon the heels of the Ford
copany's statement that the profit-shar-
ing mark in its sales had been reached
comes an announcement by the Record
Auto Supply and Service Company, of
Washington. that it is inaugurating a
similar plan. The new plan of this COM
pany, however, involves no provisos of
any kind, and as a matter of fact only

service. in fact. that the Record affords,
and if one is to judge from the rapidly
increasing number of patrons the 2OC
hooks, with their Sl.0G0 share of profits,
will be quickly disposed of.
Discussing the phenomenal rise and
growth of the Record company, N. III.
Bayles. director-in-chief and general
manager, stated modcstly that he per-
sonalIy was only in a small measure re-
he attributes it to the consistent. loyal
cooperation of the employees as whole.
Nothing Too Much.
Nothing is ever too much to ask of
the men-no task too arduous, too long
in performance: no work too difficult for
them They are specialists in every
sense of the word. but combined with
their abilities they have loyalty which
is priceless.
when the Ford Motor Company
opened its local branch with its mini
mum wage scale of SIS per day. there
was not Il single man in our organi-
cation tempted by these salaries. This
is very gratifying to the firm and
should inspire confidence in our pa
irons from the fact that we employ
men who are satisfied with the con-
ditions.
Then / inaugurated the bonus plan,
permitting the men TO share in the
success of our business. a thing 1 be-
Iieve essential to the success of any
1t proved just the stimulus
and encouragement I expected ii to be,
and today the earnest, conscientious
work of my organization has been
exalted to a point of self-sacrificins
loyalty.
"As far as our service is concerned.
experience has taught us that Ford
owners are quick of appreciation.
They are most ready in their cog
nizance of personal service. and since
we let no mite opportunity go by to
make this point conclusive to our pa
irons believe our regiment or
friends will have become an army by
the end of this year"
Doubling it's business within a
month, and with its patronage ever
on the increase Mr.. Bayles hardly ex-
aCgerates in this statement, and the
continued success of the Record Auto
Supply and Service Company seems
certainly assured.

TRAFFIC PROBLEM
NEEDS ATTENTION
Streets of Village Days Have No Place
in Present Metropolis, Says
Frank Millhoff.

Streets designed for the village days
of the one-horse chaise make the ira ffic
problem of the modern metropolis one
worthy of the studious attention of prom
inent automobile and accessory manu-
facturers.
While it Is true that Monday morning
stories on the first page of newspapers
about Sunday accidents in almost any
city do not materially hurt the business
gree for the automobile industry are in
spired by higher motives than mercenary
ones. Frank MillhoR, sales manager Of
the Miller Rubber Company, says:
There have been all kinds of sugges-
tons for safety devices, louder warning
signals. additional traffic policemen, re-
vised ordinances and the like, but these
are mere palliative measures which les
sen. but do not correct the situation"
Millhoff calls attention to the fact that
the streets that We're designed for village
use cannot answer the needs OF the mod
ern metropolis. The streets are the ar
teries through which the life blood of
social communities flow. Until a perma-
nent remedy is provided against the clog1
ging Of these street arteries and subse-
quent trouble. motorists can insure safe
ty and promote general welfare by using
nonskid tires that put them in control of
every emergency. When a car is geared
to the road by these tires common auto
mobile troubles are eliminated. The high
way was once place for all kinds of
business and idleness. where baby bug
gies, or any other kind Of vehicle. had
a divine right. MillhofY feels that the
cure lies along the same lines as the
remedy Of the condition of the steam
tracks. in cities where grade crossings
had to be constructed. Until then Joy
walking" will have to cease; and the
middle OF the street Is no place to renew
old acquaintance.

FOR Aston CUP
Young Financier Gives Tro-
ply to Be Raced for
Every Year.
MAY ENTER HIS OWN CAR
Should Alien Win Prize. He Must Re-
turn to America and Defend Title
Against Competitors.
MAY ENTER HIS OWN CAR

Vincent Aston has announced that he
will offer a cup for the inaugural auto
mobile race meeting >at the new Sleeps
head Bay Speedway and sports arena
on October .. The trophy is to be known
at the Vincent Astor Cup, and is to be
contested for in a 3J0-mile event. ana
will be awarded in addition to $4,000 in
cash prizes already offered by the
speedway hackers.
In order to qualify for competition for
this cup. cars will have to show they
are capable of an average speed Of
eighty-five miles an hour, which will
insure probably the fastest motor race
ever staged. The acceptance of Mr..
Astor's offer by the speedway manage
ment means that the Vincent Aston Cup
race will take the place of the America
Cup race, as originally planned for the
inaugural The America Cup will be
staged at some other time of the year
and will be for a different distance.
The Vincent Aston Cup is to be a per-
petual challenge trophy. to be contested
for in the fail OF each year, and goes
of course to the winner of the race.
II won by foreigner, the trophy may
be taken abroad and kept for one year,
but the winner will have to return tc
these shores in order to defend it at the
next annual race on the speedway. 1t
is not to be contested for on any other
course either in this or any other coun-
try. Full details of the deed of gift will
be announced shortly.
For a number of years Mr.. Astor has
been keenly interested in motor speed
contests, and has owned several fast
racing cars. One or these was the car
which Caleb Bragg drove to victory in
the 1872 International Grand Prix at
Milwaukee. Mr.. Aston purchased this
from Bragg, who is a young millionaire
sportsman, shortly after that contest
Mr.. Astor Will not enter this car at
Sheepshead Bay. as it is somewhat out
of date and ineligible as regards motor
size. But it Is rumored that he may
secuve q new speed creation and turn it
over to a prominent driver for the in
augural contest.

AUTO BUSINESS
NEARING CRISIS
Machines Become Necessity
in Business and Pleasure,
Says Hugh Chalmers.
NEW LOW PRICE IS SET
Seven-passenger Car at $3.50 AZ
forded by Larger Factory Space.
Quality Remains the Same.

THE automobile business is fast APP
proachin q crisis" asserts Hugh Chal-
mers. The battle of the giants is now
on. 1t is a battle royal for the suprem-
acy of the medium-prced motorcar field.
ZIP until the present time conditions in
the automobile void have been I'M
natural. With the development of a de-
pendable motor came a stupendous de-
mand for motor vehicles of any vail
able type. The demand at once exceeded
the supply. Any one could sell any mo-
tOrcar at any price.
But the staid old law of avera ges
applies just as well to the automobile
manufacturer as il does to the piano
maker, or the typewriter man. After its
brilliant run 1t must sober down to COM
nonsense business principles. or some
one else who is more far-siGhted is going
to forge to the front.
1T has become plainly apparent that
the automobile is necessity. 1t has
specdcd mp the worlds transit. A light
delivery truck does the work of a dozen
horses, and does ii cheaper and quicker.
The farmer lbs adopted 1t almost uni
versaHy because il cuts distance in two
and brings him more in touch with the
world beyond his line fence. The de-
mand for automobiles has spread around
the world like wild fire. This universal
prices to meet the buying capacities of
the masses.
In recognition of these facts the
Chalmers Motor Company has been led to
take up quantity production. Only by in
creasing our output and selling our cars
on closer margin could We afford to set
lower price on Chalmers quality. Hence
we have added thousands of square feet
to our factory space. employed more men
and are prepared to break all production
records for 1916.
Quality Remains the Same.
AS a result We are enabled to build
this new scven-pa ssenEer Chalmers to sell
at 1850. This price has been a sensation
in the whole motor car world. Ii is the
lowest price We have ever placed on
Chalmers products. We have done 1t
without the least sacrifice of quality"
Two years ago Hugh Chalmers sent c.
c. Hinkley. his chief engineer. to Europe
to study motor design. While abroad Mr.
Hinkley collaborated with foreign build
ers and discovered that the European ten
dency was toward the valve-in-head mo-
tor overhead camshaft type. Upon his
return 10 this country he set to work on
Chalmers motor of this design. The
great war halted further rations
abroad and the Chalmers Company was
thus first to market a car built along this
principle.
The success which this type of motor
met abroad has been duplicated in Amer
lea. At indianapolis and Chicago an ov-
erwhelming majority of the cars to finish
in the winning class were built along
these lines.
c. A. Pfeffer. vice president and assist
ant general manager of the Chalmers
Company, states that July. 1915. was the
biggest July in the history of the COM
pany. The business showed nearly 30O
per cent increase over the business of the
corresponding period last year.
