affections. If she takes up the game,
lights the fire and commences to cook,

POINTS OF VIEW

After numberless kinds of devices
for holding papers together have
been invented and found useful it
is a comforting reflection ito see
that very small sharp-pointed pins
are now used to attach checks toNet-
tiers. These tiny safety devices are
simple, easy to use, dependable and
womanly. They, in way, repre-
sent the quality of mind men choose
to call feminine intuition in distinc-
tion from masculine reasoning. Also
that little things in the right place
can serve a good purpose.
A mouses sharp teeth can gnaw
in two the ropes that snare lion
There is also some times safety from
danger in weakness and insignifi-
canoe.
THE bolt that strikes the towering
cedar dead
Oft passes harmless Ger the hazel's
head.
And to be quite up-to-date we con-
stantly hear men talking about

Intricate a seven passenger limou-
sine going where the big cars
couldn't and at a most satisfying
speed.

These beautiful sunshiny days
are like balm upon weary hearts and
prove the sweetest thing in the
world is serenity.

That naturally reminds us that
st. Paul wrote: Bear We one an

law of Christ" But in the same
chapter he also said: For every

This illustration shows selling price of
81, 100 for the manufacturer car and S $50
for, the as.embler's car. The buyer must pay
$3.50 (about 1879 more for the assembled car
simply because it is an assembled car. The
manufacturer gives his customer the benefit Of
the savings derived from manufacturing his
own parts. whereas the assembler has to pay
this excessive cost and put the burden on the
customer.
Manufacturer Advantages
1t !. well known within the automobile In
dustry that large manufacturers, with $1O,.
100000 to $4,000, 900 invested in complete
plants and ample capital and resources, pur-
chase the most modern and expensive labor
saving machinery. and then in manufacturing
their engines. steering gears axles. transmits
sions. dGerentials. bodies tops ETC.. their costs
are lower, if anything, than parts manutactur-
ers' costs for the same articles
Manufacturers producing $4,000 cars an
nually produce more parts of a specific type
than any parts manufacturer produces. As
rule, parts manufacturers are not specialists in
the sense that they make only one type of body
or axle OF engine. Although their total output
may sometimes (but rarely) exceed the guam
tity of any large automobile manufacturer.
they make numerous varieties. and hence do
not obtain as low manufacturing costs as the
large automobile manufactures obtains.
Hence. the large automobile manufacturer
produces his own parts at lower cost than the
parts manufactures produces similar parts for
an assembler who buys in small quantities. and
it follows that the 23% excess cost Of the assem-
bier illustrated above is not exaggerated.
Another point is that the assemblies, buying
parts from numerous sources. and often the
same part from several sources. cannot obtain
the same precision of machining and assem-
bling in the finished car which the large manu-
facturer obtains.
Still again. the assemblies profit per car is
larger than the manufacturers profit. because
the assembler usually sells only few thousand
cars annually. The illustration shows that this
profit is 60% more than the manufacturer re-
ceives and we believe this percentage is not
overstated Also the dealers discount is
greater on the assembled car. because his list
price is higher.

bile concerns selling cars in this country. about
