Along comes a big crane run ming in an overland groove a quarter of a mile long. The operator sits in a small cab not unlike that of a railroad engi- neer. Chains grab the box con- taining the car, and within forty five seconds have carried it out side the building and place it on the flat car.
 It is processes like these, all that I have described, that ex- plain why every car in the Will lys- Overland line is what it is at so low a cost. Making so many is the answer, making them to go all over the world and having profted by the ex- periences of users everywhere. Quantity production, immense and costly machines, skilled de- signing, careful inspection, ac- curate tests of material, efficient factory methods, rapid assem- bly, and advanced methods of handling, all these we saw: all these tell why the Willys Over 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. It is quality from the lowest priced to the headliner. It will be the mar vel of the automobile shows.
 This sightseeing tour was only one angle of the convention.
 The two. days program in- cluded a rollicking beefsteak dinner, a more formal banquet, a minstrel show, 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, MT. Willys himself.
 You will agree with me that this was some project to have been put over all within one plant and by the people of the organization.

a rear wheel. You ought to see them put on the tires. It is lightning. By special device, invented by one of the men in the department, the tire can be put on wheel in three seconds. From overhead bodies are drop ped down on the chassis and soon made fast.
 The car is now ready for it's tests. Rapidly revolving wheels in the floor engage the wheels of the car and send shem at high speed to make sure that they are operating freely. This is not a test under the power of the car.
 Gasoline and water are then put into the car. It is pushed off the track into another room, till it's wheels are in contact with wheels in the floor.
 With the use of the self start CT, the machine gets it's first chance to prove the success of it's construction.
 It surprised me the way the motors started. They were off with a rush. There was no hitch or delay. All the work had been done right. In a few minutes the motor was working apparently almost as smoothly as if it had been a year on the road.
 We saw how the cars were shipped. The export depart ment has the big feature in this line. The finished car under goes preparation by having it's wheels taken off and fastened on the under side of the frame which forms the top covering for the car.
 The top is covered with tar  paper as a protection against the clements, and all is securely boxed.

 Naturally every operation in all the plants tends finally to- ward the assembly conveyor tracks. There are four of them, each 645 feet long.
 We followed the whole opera tion. We began at one end where the frames and rear sys- tems are put in place. By the time the other end of the convey or is reached the frame has grown into the finished car.
 From overhead parts are low cred by chains. Along the way men are attaching the parts. The frame is not in motion all the time, but can be instantly con nected with the links of an end less chain and sent on it's way whenever desired.
 Top quality of workmanship is assured by having each man do work on which he is an expert, if it be only to tighten bolt.
 Lines of motors, already tested, wait on both sides of the con- veyor. These are put into place, cantilever springs are put on, steering mechanism and lighting and starting systems are adjust ed. Gradually the car takes form.
 Instead of painting the chasis with a brush, sprayer is used. It does the work more rapidly, more uniformly and at a lower cost.
 The tracks of the assembly lead directly through ovens in which the paint is baked. Fend- CTS and running boards come in- to their places.
 Wheels with the tires on are brought along on a runway. First comes a front wheel, then

| THE widely used India paper comes
chiefly from England, Germany, France,
Belgium and Italy. Its name is mis-

of Chinese paper introduced into Eng
land in the eighteenth century, but, like
many other commodities brought from
the far east during that period, it was
credited to India. 1t is manufactured
from rags. and its opacity is due largely
to the admiyture of mineral matter with
the fiber. Its thinness is due to special
