Did you ever stop to think what a
privilege it is to live in the age of the
automobile? Two decades ago the
automobile was scarcely known and
at that time it was never believed that
such a machine would prove to be very
practical. The automobile has revo-
lutionized the lives of all of US. 1t has
become a necessity and no matter what
our avocation in life may be, we are
dependent upon this wonderful ma
chine. To dispense with the automo-
bile would be like dispensing with the
self binder to go back to binding
sheaves by hand. One of the pleasing
things to note is the beautiful, service
able car, modernly equipped, that one
can get for comparatively small
sum. For less than thousand dol
lars, one can secure car far better
equipped than the $4,000 or $4,000
machines Of decade ago.

SAXON MOTOR co. NOW STANDS
TENTH IN PRODUCTION OF
CARS-MAGIC CITY AUTO co.
LOCAL DEALERS.

The Saxon line of motor cars is
made by the Saxon Motor Car Co., of
Detroit, Mich, and in the short space
Of two years has taken its place as
tenth in point of production of auto
mobiles in the United States. The
Company,is one of the strong concerns
of the country, engaged in the manu-
facture of motor cars. Its capacity
has been greatly increased for this
years demand, and cars are being
turned out at the rate of 800 day in
an effort to keep up with orders.
During January, one of the mid
winter months, orders were received
for 6,734 cars-more than double the
number of the best previous months
record, which was in May, 1915, in the
heart Of the selling season. In Feb
ruary, the Company have made six
full train-load shipments of cars to
different parts of the country, one to
San Francisco, where the economical
running Of the car appeals to buyers,
as a sort of an offset to the high
freight rate on cars shipped that dis
lance from the factory.
The Saxon car for this year shows
many improvements over the last
years model, especially in the impor-
tant working parts, while the price
remains the same-$785 for the six
cylinder models, and 1896 for the four
cylinder roadsters.
Saxon cars are distributed in Minot
by the Magic City Auto Co., whose ad
appears in this issue.

DETROIT CONCERN CLIMBS TO A
PROMINENT PLACE AMONG
MANUFACTURERS OF MOTOR
CARS.

New buildings under construction
at the plant of Dodge Brothers, De-
troit, will bring the total amount Of
floor space to approximately 60 IL
acres. This will make the establish
ment one of the largest motor car
plants in the world.
The buildings are of steel, concrete
and brick and constructed along lat
est engineering plans with ample light
and ventilation.
Few people have realized the i'm
mensity of the institution of Dodge
Brothers. Although the first Dodge
Brothers car was turned out in De-
cember, 1914, and actual deliveries to
owners started in January following,
the concern now ranks among the first
four in automobile production.
More than forty million dollars
worth Of cars have already been de-
livered and a large production is
scheduled for next year.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
business can be gained from the fol-
lowing figures:
An average of 100 carloads of ma
terial and supplies are received daily.
More than 400 tons of coal are re-
quired in generating the steam used in
the plant and $4,000 gallons of fuel
oil are used in the heat treating and
drop forge departments. About $685.
900 pounds of steel are fabricated in
to parts each day and the boundaries
handle 35 tons of pig iron, 10000
pounds of brass and 1000 pounds of
aluminium
A striking feature of this immense
enterprise is that the business is own
ed entirely by John F. and Horace E.
Dodge. This is very impressive when
it is known that only IA years ago
Dodge Brothers opened their first ma
chine shop in Detroit in which they
employed II men and both worked at
ma chine and bench themselves.
They early established a reputa-
ton for quality work, in the making
automobile parts and built up Won
derful business in this line. But in
1914 they brought all their contracts
for parts to termination and turned
their great facilities to the making of
Dodge Brothers motor cars.

GEORGE Misunderstanding"
STATE PREPARING TO DO BIG
AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS AT
THE SCOFIELD IMPLEMENT co.

George A. State is the manager Of
the Scofeld Implement Co., concern
that has done one of the greatest i'm
plement business in the west during
the past fourteen years and now the
concern is going out to win new laur-
els. We might amend this statement
and say that the firm started out to
win these new laurels some time ago,
for during the year 1915 the concern
sold fourteen Reos, at an average
price of $1,000 each; six Hudsons, av-
erage $1450 each and twenty-five
Chevrolets, at an average Of $500
each, making a total business in its
automobile department of $38, $50.
This isn't so bad considering that the
company did not contemplate doing
nearly so much business and were not
prepared to fill the orders nearly as
fast as they came in.
This year, Mr.. State informs US that
conditions have changed - not that
there will be less demand for the cars,
but he will have plenty of them on
hand. The company handles three of
as fine grade of cars as there is on
the market and then George Railways

The Hudson Super-Six, the new
1916 car, is declared wonder. This
car develops rs horse power. The
Hudson Motor Car Co. has spent ST.
100000 on extra room and equipment
to meet multiplied demand. The
company invested in $4,000, 900 worth
of material to build the new type car
before one was ever exhibited.
The REQ is going to be in big de-
mand this season. The company at its
big thirty acre plant will be able to
turn out about $4,000 of these cars
this season and declare that they could
easily dispose Of $4,000 of them,
could they secure the material and
manufacture them.
The Chevrolet is wonderful car

motor business in the Northwest. Mr..
Fuller is a consistent preacher of the

has been demonstrated by the large
number of Dodge cars that are being
driven in this section of the state, also
from the fact that the contracts have
been exceeded by several hundred
cars for this years business.

BUILDING "ANIERICA First.

|nNE of the chief efforts of cham
~ bers of commerce in all parts OF
the United States is to hold out
| inducements which will cause manu-
! featuring enterprises TO locate in their
respective cities. The desire is to es-
tablish industries which will maintain
large weekly payrolls.
Such efforts are laudable. A cham
Der of commerce can scarcely render
a service of greater value to its COM
munity, and yet chambers of COM
merce, in general, studiously avoid the
advocacy or even the discussion OF the
principal means OF establishing and
maintaining industries which afford
desirable payrolls. Politics is taboo
in chambers of commerce and the
tariff question is regarded as politics,
though as a matter of fact il is an eco
nomic and business question of the
highest order. If ii is desirabl for
each community TO have a manufac-
turing institution with a large payroll,
it is equally desirable for the nation to
have multitude of them. Every con-
dition which encourages the establish
ment of industries in this country
makes it easier for each community to
secure it's share. ManifestlyS there is
nothing that tends more to build up
American industries than protective
tariff. which shuts out the products
of other lands.
One of the chief purposes of a labor
union is to secure employment for its
members at a satisfactory scale of
wages. This also is laudable pur-
pose. Experience has shown that
there is nothing that tends more to
provide employment in this country
and maintain a high scale of wages
than a protective tariff, which ex-
cludes the product of cheap labor from
abroad.
In labor unions also, however, poll
tics is usually barred from discussion,
except perhaps, as TO the attitude of
individual candidates toward labor
questions. Instead OF maintaining this
attitude toward political discussion,
labor unions should make it known
that they fully understand the value OF
a protective tariff in providing employ
ment for American labor and main
tanning the American scale of wages.
! Here. then, are two great classes of
organizations which should be insist
ent and persistent in the advocacy OF
a protective tariff-the cham bers of
commerce advocating such an eco
nomic policy for the benefit of the
unions advocating it because of its
particular benefit TO the American
laborer, who is benefited by every in
crease in the demand for labor.

The Civic Club OF Philadelphia has
introduced talks on thrift as feature
of its Leagues of Good Citizenship,
which are organizations in the public
schools for the purpose of teaching
proper ideals of citizenship to the chill

citation has naturally taken up the
cause as its own, and members of that
organization in New York are de-

Back of this nationwide movement

ing effect of the war, the realization
that millions are in dire need, has
fostered the spirit of thrift. But there
is reason nearer home why the
American people must save. They can
no longer afford to waste.

Americans a nation of spendthrifts.
