OVERLAND EARNINGS
ELEVEN MILLIONS
BIG TOLEDO FACTORY SHOWS
BIG EXPANSION DURING
PAST YEAR.

With net profits Of $11.335,O0O for
the ~ months ended last December
the WiIlys-Overland company Just
about fulfilled the expectations Of
those who realized the effect which
freight embargoes in the final months
must have had upon shipments ana
profits. In the first six months the
big Toledo company earned slightly
over $7,000,000. or, in other words,
nearly two-thirds Of the full net MP

that only half as many cars could be-
shipped in the last six months a. In

R0SE.NEPPLE co.
REMODEL GARAGE
LOCAL DODGE AGENCY NOW HAS
LARGE, WELL ARRANGED
SALESROOM.

Alterations and Improvements
greatly enlarging the salesroom in
the garage of the Rose-Nepple Auto
Co., Inc, adjoining the city hall on
Main street, have been completed,
and the proprietors, Messrs. c. A.
Rose and Ed Nepple, are smilingly
greeting their many friends and pa
irons in their new offices, considered
to be among the incest in the North
west. The firm is the local represen-
tative for Dodge Brothers motor
cars and has made a steady growth
since it entered the local field with
new garage and the agency for a
new car in February two years ago.
The salesroom, large enough for
the proper display of a model car,
occupies about half of the north side
of the garage, and is finished in white
enamel and ivory. The entire front
is occupied by the display room, with
the Office behind it on the left of the
entrance, the ladies' waiting room on
the right, and an accessories rack in
the rear. A large balcony, in which
are arranged automobile parts and
the surplus accessory stock, runs
across the rear of the salesroom. A
unique feature of the display room is
a large map of the county, showing
where the local owners of Dodge
Brothers live, and a bulletin giving
their names. The room is furnished
with easy chairs for the comfort Of
patrons.
The firm which has just made
these extensive improvements started
in business in a small garage on
Franklin street February Is, 1915,
new firm in a new location and
with the agency for new car, the
Dodge. Six months later they moved
to their nresent location, where their
business has steadily expanded,
through the popularity of the car and
close attention to business on their
part. They attribute their success
largely to the fact that from the out
set they have strived to live up to
the odge Brothers policy as nearly
as they could, a policy which, they
say, has proved right 80 far as Dodge
Brothers are concerned. whose busi-
ness, started two years ago, climbed
to fourth place in production year
ago. and has been strengthened since.
The remodeling recently done did
not end with the enlargement of the
salesroom, but extended to the south
half of the garage building, where
the solid concrete front was partially
torn out and large windows installed.
Other minor improvements were
made throughout the building, in
creasing the facilities for service.
The company operates in connec-
ton with its garage a modern vulcan
izing department and an up-to-the-
minute repair department and SER
vice station, and makes strong fea-
ture of the service extended patrons.

L. G. johnson received car of big
ewes from Denver the first of the
week and is selling them to the farm
ers in small punches. Some farmers
are prejudiced against sheep raising
but they will have to admit that there
is no animal on the farm that will
turn a mans money as quick as sheep.
Sheep produce two crops annually,
wool in the spring and lambs in the
fall, and if the animal is properly
cared for the income from the wool
will more than pay for the ewes
keep. This country with its dry, open
winters, abundance of roughage and
good markets, is an ideal place to
make money in sheep.

players had taken their stand and
will SIT tight and await developments.
Mr. Fultz insists cmphatically that
the minor league grievances are of
vital interest to the major league
players. He points out that the per-
sonnet Of the major leagues changes
completely about every eight years.
and it will only be a few years before
the majority Of the men now playing
in the majors will be back in the
minors. To insure their future after
their major league usefulness is gone,
F'ultz argues that the players were
compelled to take their present stand
to insure their future welfare.
Players Would Arbitrate.
AS far as any movement toward
settling the differences by arbitration
is concerned, Fultz declares the fra
ternity is willing. The attitude taken
by organized ball, on the other hand,
is that since the major league play
ers have no grievances in the present
situation, there is nothing to arbi-
trate.
ct think" said President Fultz,
''that the National Commission does
not want to take up these grievances
Of the minor league players, because
it knows If it heard them. it would
be compelled to decide in our favor"
