What was promised as a speed duel
between Dario Resta and Ralph De

victory for Resta when the calm pilot
of the Silvertown equipped Peugeot
saturday ran away with the Grand
PriX at the Chicago Speedway, cap
turing the final so mile heat of the
classic in 29 minutes, 62.49 seconds
at a pace of 100 miles an hour.
De Palma and his Mercedes went
out of the race in the first qualifying
heat during the third lap.
The classic established the suprem-
acy of Resta and his Peugeot. The
victor of the race was never in doubt
Resta. won his first heat easily in IL
minutes, 42.61 seconds. With the ex-
ception OF a few seconds when Dave
Lewis driving a Silvertown equipped
Hoskins Special, held the lead, Resta
had the final heat all his way.
The Grand Prix classic was notable
for the consistent performances Of
the car that finished. OF Resta who
captured the Grand Prize of $4,000,

Complete Equipment of
75-B Overland a Feature

HAS John WHY'S accomplished, in
the manufacture of his New Series
Model 75-B Overland, his one biggest
aim in the manufacturing business 2"
is the substances of a question heard
frequently these days around the
huge WHY'S Overland plant in To-
ledo, Ohio. where a thousand Over
lands are being turned out every day.
Ever since Mr.. Willys began the
manufacture of motor cars, he has in
timated to his friends that one of his
greatest ambitions has been to turn
out an absolutely fully equipped car
at a medium price.
When asked pointedly If he felt that
he had finally accomplished his prin-
cinal aim, Mr.. WHY'S replied: De
eide that for yourself. I have always
wanted every Overland buyer to feel
that his car was equipped with all the
essential parts which go to make up
the high priced automobile. 1t has
been q hard battle because we were
selling our product for about half
the money asked for competing cars
in the same class.
There was but small margin for
profit for us and had it not been for
the satisfied buyers who recommend
ed our car to their friends and con-
sequently increased our production,
I'm afraid the price Of Overlands
would have necessarily remained
much higher.
''As our manufacturing costs were
reduced by quantity production, how
ever. our business continued to in
crease and we were enabled to lay
in huge stocks OF material which re-
heVed the sting of the recent advanc.
ed cost Of materials and our selling
prices were kept down.
we knew there would be a big de-
mand for car like our New Series
Model 75-B. selling around $500, so
We spent money almost reeklessly in
fitting 1t out. And the people are
clamoring for it just as we expected

Saxon Company to Share
Prosperity With Employees

Each office employe, who has been
with the Saxon Motor Car Corpora
ton for a period of longer than ninety
days, will receive a bonus Of per
cent. of the salary received during
the year or for the term OF employ
ment if less than one year, but more
than ninety days.
Each factory employe will share on
a like basis with those in the office
departments except those who have
been paid on a premium of piece
work basis and who will receive a
bonus of 3 per cent.
The payment of these bonuses will
be made on September 1st, 1916.
President Harry w. Ford, in COM
nenting on this act of the company,
said: THE payment of bonus at this
time does not bind the company to a
policy OF bonuses each year; however,
the management feels that in years
when the prosperity of the company
is such as to enable it to make a re-
be disposed to pay some form OF
bonus to employees. 1t is hoped that
the payment of this bonus will en-
courage each employe to study his
work to the end that each one may
increase his efficiency.
For the payment Of this first
bonus 1t seemed wise to-us to use a
fair percentage to all employees with
the exception above noted,
I'm the future, however, a record of
each individual employe will be taken
into consideration, Punctuality care
fulness, obedience to all Company
rules and regulations, loyalty, willing
the management at all times and in
every way, will be taken into consid-
Grafton in payment of any bonus that
may be decided upon in the future,
and each employe will share in such
fund in proportion to the quantity and
quality of the service he renders.
The real object of this institution
is to sell Saxon cars at profit, and
the ability OF this Company to main
tain itself in a prosperous condition
depends in the long run upon the
goodness. serviceability and reliabil-
ity of the cars we build.
The ideal Of this company is to
build good cars-to give the public
the best dollar for dollar value on
the market.
IF we can do this we can always
have a good and prosperous business.
Bonuses depend upon earnings; earn
ings depend upon good cars; good
cars depend upon the employees.
IF we can enlist the interest, skill,
care and earnestness of each and ev-
cry enploye, the quality of the prod
uct OF our Company can be maintain
ed at the point where it should be,
and in that way we can win and hold
the confidence Of millions of people
all around the world-and successful
trade rests upon confidence.
The Company is not one thing and
the organization of employees anoth-
er. The company and the organiza-
tion are one thing and their interests
are mutual. The company furnishes
capital, equipment and management
the employees furnish intelligence,
labor and skill.
We are partners and we will share
alike"
