Bates Goes TO
KING MOTOR CO.
Manufacturers of king g"
Create Position of Com
mercial Manager

At a banquet rendered to the dis
trict sales managers OF the King
Motor Car Co., in the Detroit Ath-
letic club, President Artemas Ward,
Jr., announced the creation or new
position and the addition OF a val
liable man TO the King executive
personnel.
G.. j. Bates. for the past 10 years
prominently identified with the tire
business, relinquishes position
with the Firestone Tire & Rubber
Co. TO become commercial manager.
Manager r. p, Bishop stated that
Mr.. Bates would be valuable addi-
tion TO the King family; that the
merchandising department of the
factory would be able TO launch on
expansion plans which have been un-
der consideration for some time.
The growth OF the company has
been conservative" Mr.. Ward said,
in making the announcement that
Mr.. Bates had joined the King or
ganization. we have not gone into
the field with overproduction. We
have known our limit. our product
has been moved without sales re-
sistance. Today our position in the
automobile field is unique and envi-
able. The Kings expansion will be
conservative-we will always In
crease our production gradually.
would rather have our organization
manufacture 5000 or 1000 cars a
year and do 1t right, than 10 build
10. 900 In a haphazard manufacturing
way TO be merchandised with plans
not consistent with our business pol
icy.
'In adding Mr.. Bates TO our or
ganization. we will be able 10 fur
ther enhance the merchandising oi
the King. He will have supervision
OF the sales and advertising depart
ments and with the cooperation oi
the heads OF these departments will
direct their policies, His wide &C
auaintanceship with the automobile
dealers throughout the United States
acquired during his service with the
Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. and
with the Diamond Rubber Co. makes
him particularly adaptable to his
new position"

SAFETY BOARD
ISSUES WARNING
Asks Parents to Cooperate In
Effort To Cut Down
Accidents

With the arrival OF summer days
the commissioners of public safety
OF Greater Detroit are sending out
appeals 10 mothers and fathers to
assist them In minimizing street ac-
cidents.
The appeal. in part. follows:
The number OF accidents each year
Is appalling, and many OF the VIC
Tins are children. The children OF
the city OF Detroit are your respon-
sibility and are your most precious
possession. You are asked no bear
your share in teaching them the way
TO be safe upon our streets.
The streets are the property or
the public But the roadway is not
n playground for children,
Tho roadway IL dangerous place
TO roller skate.
Young and old. but children especi-
ally. should be warned repeatedly
not to cross Immediately behind a
street car Wait until your view to
the right Is clear.
Tmppcss upon your children that
caution is not cowardicc The child
takes dangerous and unnecessary
chances because he fears the cry or
coward"
No thoughtlcss child, and no child
streets alone. The child who IL
watching out TO save others from
danger Is unconsciousIy taking care
OF his or her own safety.
OF age viii constitute himself n
safety Scout" We shall see a
diminution OF street accidents
safety, scout who does his
duty VIII allow no little child TO
cross ~ street alone In his vicinity
The Safety Scout" will not play ball
In tho street even though he may
feel that hc can safely do 80.
Teach the children how to use the
streets.
Always and at all times set a safe
~ example that the children may
follow.
You and your children are the
strongest allies the Safety hrst"
movement has; we therefore ask
your thorough cooperation In this
educational work. VIII you take
your share?
