Special Consideration
For Women's Comfort

A woman is the critical automobile
buyer to-day, according to r. j.
Church, sales manager of the Path
finder Motor Sales Co.
"A woman wants low, easy step
into the car, a door wide enough for
comfort, a seat which fits the curve
of her back when she settles herself
into a corner, a firm yielding support,
not seat from which one is continu-
ally slipping and sliding, states Mr..
Church.
These points have received special
consideration in the making and
manufacturing of the Pathfinder Twin

IMMENSE FREIGHT
INCOME AT PLANT
Overland Company Has Police
to Patrol Docks Where
Material Is Unloaded

Among the curiosities of the auto
mobile industry are the three horses
used in patrolling the grounds of the
WHY'S Overland automobile plant at
night. These are the only horses ever
seen about the great plant.
The 10000 employees of the WHY'S
Overland Company who travel to and
from the automobile factory every day
utilize about every known means of
transportation that the city affords.
Trolley cars automobiles, bicycles, mo-
torcycles and titney buses all carry
their quota of passengers to the plant,
but even in this maze of power-driven
vehicles the horse is seldom, if ever.
seen.
But after the whistle blows at night
and the army of day workers have de-
parted for home the three horses make
their appearance entering the grounds
along a footpath at the rear of the
factory. They are the mounts of the
Overland night watchmen, who keep
in touch with forty-five other men sta
toned around the freight yards and
factory buildings. Throughout the
night they police the great Overland
property and 1t is said to be next to
impossible TO get through their sentry
lines without being challenged.
This system of protection is imper-
ative owing to the huge quantities of
material that come into the plant at
all hours of the night. The dockage
facilities for taking care of inbound
freight extend over a distance of
1900 feet.
Some idea of the volume and value
of freight received at the Overland
can be gained from the fact that dur
ing the year 1915 the company paid
out over 100000 for freight charges
on inbound shipments alone.
There are seven and three-quarter
miles of railroad tracks on the Over
land property and over three miles
OF storage tracks built outside of
the plant proper. AS the automo-
hiles are made ready for shipment
they are run out onto any one of
number of loading platforms, houses
in the freight cars that are waiting
for them, and started on their way
toward the main lines that carry them
10 all parts of the world. The load
ing platform for outgoing shipments
If Joined together and extended in
straight line, would make a runway
5000 feet long.
Looming up in the center of the rail
road yards is a watch tower that over
looks the entire system of tracks.
From this point of vantage one night
characters who may be lurking around
and by signalling to his mounted as
sistants have a guard on the spot al
most imm ediately.
Before the day workers start oper-
alton in the morning these watchmen
disappear and the last seen of the
three might raiders" is when they
leave the factory grounds through the
little gateway at the rear.

Overland Company Receives
2,243 Car Orders in One Day

On Tuesday, March 21st, another
record was broken at the big Willys-
Overland factory, Toledo.
On that day, orders were received
for 2,243 cars, the greatest daily re-
cord for orders yet established by
them.
The fact that it was not contract
ing time when distributors of these
cars place yearly contracts, but merely
normal days demand for immediate
shipments gives some idea OF the vol
ume of salse handled by that COM
speed.
Manufacturing and distributing
100000 cars for 1916 is no small task,
but with the current demand 1t now
seems certain that there will, if any
thing, be a scarcity of Overland and
Willys-knight cars in spite of the
largely increased production. More
than 10000 men are now employed
at the Toledo plant

Motor Truck Has Developed
a Remarkable Industry

In discussing the rapid growth of
the Industry, Lee j. Eastman,
proudly referred to the seven years
manufacture of the Packard Motor
Truck, which has grown from an an
nual output of 25 Trucks to All. Tt
is indicative of the modern business
mans endorsement of the motor We
hicle as a vital necessity in solving
his transportation problem.
Manufacturing facilities and i'm
proved methods of production have
had to keep abreast with such a
growth. The present high efficiency
in production is evidenced in every
department of the process; from the
handling of raw materials to the paint
ing of the completed truck. The steel
for the truck frames is unloaded dl-
rect from the freight car into the door
of the frame erecting shop. Trans
ported by power driven cranes, it is
conveyed to it's first station on it's
journey through the plant, without
loss of time or effort.
Castings and machine parts for the
working units are handled in the same
manner; the rough casting or forging
starts through the long line of ma
chimes that perform the various oper-
ations and comes out ready for as
sembling at common center. There,
as a part of an individual working
unit, it meets the incoming frame. by
an ingenious system of progressive
handling, allowing hardly a pause in
the forward travel, the various units
reach the paint shop and final in
spection departments as a complete
truck, ready for service. y
Every progressive step in manufac-
ture means a corresponding increase
in the quality of the truck For ex-
