OVERLAND TRIP AN INSPIRATION
New Models are World Beatero.-Fac-
tory a Demonstration of Ef-
ficiency en- Big Scale

At the invitation and through the
liberality OF the Willys-Overland Co.,
| the editor of the News-Budget was
enabled to make visit to the great
Overland factory at Toledo, Ohio, last
week, and certainly nothing could be
more impressive than a visit to the
wonderful institution where over
1900 men are engaged in transform
ing raw metal and other materials
into the beautifully finished WHY'S
Overland cars.
Quantity production, immense and
costly machines, skilled designing,
careful inspection, accurate tests CT
material, efficient factory methods,
rapid assembly and advanced meth
DDS Of handling, all these we saw;
all these tell why the Willys-Ovor-
land Company lives up to it's ideals
Of a car for every need or taste
price, class and service right.
We saw the line. 1t is quality
from the lowest priced to the head
liner. 1t will be the marvel Of the
automobile shows.
The sightseeing tour was only one
angle Of this convention. Through
lectures We heard the policies Of the
Company defined by the various Off
cials.
The two days program included q
rollicking beefsteak dinner. a more
formal banquet, minstrel show, o
concert by the famous Overland Band
and a concert by the Glee Club.
Finally there was a speech by the
moving genius Of it all, Mr. WHY'S
himself
Entertainments were all in the fine
auditorium on the top floor Of the
wonderful administration building
which stands out like state capitol
and from which you get a groat pan
Drama Of the plant. You can then
readily believe that it occupies 103
acres, with 4,486,68O square feet CT
floor space in daily use and pro-
duction capacity of 1000 cars per day
You can appreciate the growth from
250 employees in 1908 to 1890 il
1916. 1000 persons, more than the
entire manufacturing force of many
a company, work in the administra-
ton building alone.
Every detail Of the factory visit
was arranged SO that all who made
the trip were both entertained and in
structed; 50 that the time was not
merely spent for pleasure nor were the
visitors bored with too much mechan-
ical detail The convention was adj
mirably planned and has no doubt
cemented the Overland family ties
stronger than anything else could
have done 1t was particularly an ed
ucation and inspiration for every
Overland dealer.

ANOTHER TOWN DIVISION

TROJES ON FOO
1t appears that some of the resi-
dents of the present towns Of True
and Hawkins are not entirely salts
fled with the way these towns are
divided. Especially does this discon-
tent proceed from the residents III
and about the Village of Ingram.
Accordingly We understand Assem-
blyman Miller will present a bill for
the further redivision Of these towns
and also of the Town of Lawrence at
this coming session of the legislature
Whether or not he advocates this
measure We DO not know.
The bill provides for the creation
of three towns, all four miles wide
and six miles long, out of the towns
1873 and 35-4. 1t also provides for {
new town, six miles square, out Of
34-3, when such territory shall con-
tain "a fraehOlders This division VIII
make the towns of True and Hawkirs
consist each Of "a sections, with
town of equal size in between. Just
what the bill contemplates shall be
come Of 1913 until it is a town we
cannot say.
Now, Mr.. Voter. in the Town Of
True or Lawrence, do you want this
redivision? If you don't, and we
opine that is the attitude Cf the
farmers in this neck Of the woods,
let Assemblyman Miller know where
you stand. Write him what you think
OF it.-Glen Flora Star

Mr.. Miller on the above proposition
and found that the proposed town di-
vision was not fathered by him and
Mr.. Miller stated further that such a
bill would not be introduced by him
unless those who were interested in
the proposition could show him that
there were good reasons for the di-
vision and that it was desired by a
majority of the people in the town
ships affected
1t seems that the day is rapidly
coming when there will be as many
organized towns in Rusk county as
there are townships. And, while it
does seem that this movement has
been rather fast, it will no doubt
stimulate the development Of the
outlying portions of the county, as
the tax money raised in the town
ships that form new towns will there
after be used for building roads anC
making other improvements in theil
own confines.
