Few literary prophecies have been so
strikingly fulfilled as that Of the "neuer
writer who in the preface which fol-
lowed the revised title Of the first edi.
ton Of "Troilus and Cresida" Q6O0,
predicted Of Shakespeare that when
he is gone and his commodies out of
sale you will scramble for them and
set up a new English inquisition."
The number Of first editions in quar-
to of Shakespeare's plays now known
to exist is IA, with two fragments, of
which eighty are in public ownership
and sixty-four in private ownership.
These volumes are worth not merely
their weight in gold, but their weight
in banknotes Of high denominations.
They represent sixteen different plays,
two Of them having double texts, max
ing an average Of eight copies Of each,
and those which were most popular
having already been, pirated-"Romeo
and Juliet" the first "Hamlet." Henry
v" and the Merry Wives"-muster
only seventeen copies among them.
The authors of "a Census of Shake.
speare's Plays In Quarto, 1594-17O9"
gale University Press, Henrietta
Bartlett and Alfred Pollard, estimate
that most Of Shakespeare's plays print
ed in quarto received editions Of 1900
copies each. The wear and tear of the
centuries has thus disposed Of many
thousands Of these priceless books.
The total is much larger IL we add the
quartos which appeared after the first
editions, but before the authorized"
folio editions Of 1923, issued by Shake
speare's colleagues Of the theater. The
survivals alone Of these intermediate
quartos number 301 copies. Of which
IA are In public and 157 in private

Tn my opinion nothing Is more i'm.
portant In building for the future than
good Will This is true In the automo-
hllc industry just as much as I'm any
other industry. The nationwide definite
service plan OF the Studebaker Corpo-
ration among the branches of most of
our large dealers and many Of our
smaller dealers In just one link In the
chain whereby our efforts have been
eNrcndcd TO strengthen good will.
We believed. and quite logically, that
our interest In q Studebaker car does
not end when the machine is delivered
10 the customer. But the really CEN
tral idea In this whole definite service
plan was to make 1t act as a preyen-
tive instead OF cure for automobile
owners.
There are two ways Of giving SER
vice. one In to administer Il when the
customer has trouble with his car and
brings Il In. The other method is 10
remove the cause OF the trouble. This
is the Studebaker way. and II IL ac-
t'ially worked out by not allowing the
owner TO get much OF chance to abuse

bring the total amount Of floor space
to 6oN acres. This will make the es-
tablishment one OF the largest motor car
plants In the world. The buildings are
Of steel. concrete and brick and con-
structed along latest engineering plans
With ample light and ventilation.
Few people have realized the size Of
the institution Of Dodge Bros. Although
the first Dodge car was turned out only
last December and actual deliveries TO
owners started in January. the con-
Germ now ranks among the first six In
automobile production. More than $685.
900. 900 worth Of cars have already been
delivered. and largo production Is
scheduled for next year.
Some idea Of the magnitude Of the
business can he gained from the follow
ing figures. An average OF 100 carloads
OF material and supplies are received
daily. More than 400 tons Of coal are
required In generating the steam used
In the plant and $4,000 gallons OF fue,
oil are used In the heat treating and
drop forge depar tments. About 225. 900
pounds Of steel arc fabricated into
parts each day and the foundries ha ndle
thirty-five 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 ow ned
entirely by John r. and Horace Z
Dodge. Only fourteen years ago Dodge
Bros opened their nrst machine shop In
Detroit. In which they employed eleven
men and both worked at machine and
bench themselves They early established
. reputation for quality work In the
making Of automobile parts and built
up a wonderful business In this line.

CONVERTIBLE BODIES
FINELY DEVELOPED
Open and Closed Cars Now
Combined in One Design,
Such as White Semi
Touring Car.

The increasing popularity of converti-
bic types Of motor car bodies has served
to emphasize tho features Of converti.
bility heretofore found cnly In high priced
cars and now carried to a higher state
of advancement by a'fcw manufacturers
who specialize in fine body work. In
fact the interest IN convertible bodies
is second only TO the interest in the
important general unprov ements Of the
year. . -. - -.
The practice Of keeping cars in service
nll winter has grown apace with the
Increasing knowledge OF the duties re-
quired by cold weather motoring and
the increasing facilities for maxi
ing winter motoring n comfort. The
result has been a demand for two
types Of equipment that which is
applied to a touring body for the purpose
OF enclosing II and that which Is origi-
nally built to combine in one model the
open air feature of the touring car with
the protective features of the limousine
While the convertible types commonly
used are applied rather than embodied
In a unit design. the growing apprecia-
ton Of custom body work has given
wider expression to creative genius with
the result that new types of bodies, es-
scntially high priced. are now being built
for those with whom price is not neces-
sarily n consideration.
or the latter class Of bodies there
are several new types in the Automobile
Salon at the Hotel Astor. Always noted
for their fine body productions on cars
of International reputation. the salon ex-
hibitors this year have outdone their
former efforts Ono of the most practical

The dealers obligation in the partner
ship involves loyalty to tho car. loyalty
to the company and belief In the
leadership and permanence Of both. The
first man whom the dealer sells on his
car should be himself-if he has not
done so he Is doing an injustice TO the
other partners. The manufacturer, In
turn. Is largely dependent on the sales
ability OF the dealer for public esteem
In which his cars are held.
The owner owes to both manufacturer
and dealer the exercise OF reasonab bio

and that no mechanism can withstand

The policy or the Briscoe Motor Com
pany will be to intensity this partnership
relation by every means in It's power.
We want the dealers to feel that they
have made n permanent connection and
one that will grow better as the years

creased possibilities were developed
which have been overlooked and theories
which seemed to be founded upon basic
principles had to be disregarded. until
finally II was developed that twelve
cylinders established the medium and
the greatest point Of efficiency. The
smaller bore OF the cylinder permits the
use OF higher compression. and the
higher the compression the more eff
cient II the burning Of the gases at ali
speeds. Naturally the question arises 10
what extent can this principle be car
ried out.
IAN answer 10 found in the Haynes
twelve cylinder "v' type motor. The
proper size bore and proper correspond
ing length Of stroke combined with per-
feet detail Of construction have given "a
this master motor great efficiency.
There are various reasons why more
