ms 1Austraton SHOWS selun2 price OF
$l,l0O for the manufacturer Car and 81 $50
$3.50 (about 23%) 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 is well known within the automobile in
dustry that large manufacturers, with $1O,-
OOO, 900 to $15, 5,OOO, 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, dierentials, bodies tops ETC., their costs
are lower, if anything, than parts manufacture
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 a
rule, parts manufacturers are not specialists in
the sense that they make only one type of body
or axle or 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 manufacturer obtains.
Hence, the large automobile manufacturer
produces his own parts at lower cost than the
parts manufacturer 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 assembler, 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 assembler's profit per car is
larger than the manufacturer 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.
As stated above out of hundred automo-
bile concerns selling cars in this country. about

LOS ANGELES HOTELS PLAN
A BUSY SUMNER SEASON

To meet the critical demands of the
great stream Of tourists that flows
into Southern California each sum-
mer, there have been built up in Los
Angeles large variety of elegant ho-
tells.
Within the downtown district of Los
Angeles the hotels are large and ele-
gantly equipped and are so comfort
ably arranged that many people make
them their permanent home. Among
the best known hotels in that city is
the Lankershim,. most popular stop
ping place for scores of summer visi-
tors from Ell Centro.
Unlike most large hotels of its class,
the Lankershim, though situated in
the very heart of the city, maintains
an atmosphere Of cordiality and con-

tentment. The busy business man ano
the pleasure-seeking tourist alike en-
JOY its hospitality.
In recent interview with William
R. Flood, the active manager, ne
states that since the owner of the
metropolitan hotel, Colonel ]. B. Lam
kershim, assumed the management
some months ago, the hotel has passed
through the most prosperous season
in its history The great number OF
visitors at the hotel during 1915 was
very gratifying indeed, he says.
In preparation for the busy summer
season anticipated, the Lankershim has
had new equipment added, and nc
doubt many people from this section
of the country will sojourn there, as
was the case last year, owing to the
hotel being easily accessible to the
beach and mountain car lines and al
places of interest to the tourist.

Miss Hassinger's Tea Is Unique Futurist
 Affair

A ILL of the charm of the unusual
 A was gathered in one place yester- 4 \ day when Miss Leonora Hassinger was at home in her studio, entertaining at tea to compliment Miss Mary Mott Williams, of Marquette, Mich, who is visiting Miss Elizabeth Caldwell Locke It was a futurist affair. and the setting was ideal for such an occasion, though the rich tapestries that covered the walls and the soft hangings that draped the windows and doors were too subdued III tone to present the clash that futurist art dictates.
 But when the debutantes gathered, they and just one or two of their friends, they were greeted by a scene truly Bohemian in it's setting, and artistic in it's concep- tion The glow of soft lights, shaded with rose and blue silk, the odor of Japanese incense, and the indistinct figure of Japanese fortune teller in a corner, made it fascinating in the extreme. A bowl of crimson roses and yellow jonquils centefed the tea table, and queer futu1ist tea nap 6ins, of crimson and purple and yellow and green and blue, Japanese silk bor- dered with black were handed to the guests, while they sat around and chatted and munched red and green and blue and purple hints, and most delicious Bohem- ian salad and sandwiches and slipped tea.
 Many lovely pieces of china, decorated by Miss Hassinger and Miss Glennie Bosely adorned the studio, and during .he afternoon Miss Williams was pre- sented with a rose jar, decorated in. fu- turist stripes by the hostess. The occa- sion was one of the most enjoyable of the many that have been given by the debu- tantes and all of the details of decoration and entertainment were planned by the clever hostess The fortue teller, who can really look into the future was decided attraction for the guests. A dozen or more girls enjoyed the hospitality.
