IMPORT ATTACHED
 ID CHANGE MADE
 IN AUTO INDUSTRY

Automobile circles were intensely in terested in the announcement emanat- ing from Racine, Wisconsin, today, that Otis c. Friend, president of the Mitchell Motors company, had re- signed. MT. Friends future plans, which were perfected before his re- signation, have not yet been an- nounced.
 The Mitchell companys announce ment says: MT. Friends resignation is a matter of greatest regret to all his associates, who have learned to hold him and his work, in the highest esteem. The close personal relations that have always existed between Mir. Friend and his Mitchell associates makes his going a matter of particular personal regret"
 Equal interest arose from the simul- taneous announcement that Mir. Friends successor, as president of the Mitchell company would be Mr. D. c Durland, for 23 years associated in the active management of the General Electric company, or companies ac- quired by the General Electric com- pany.
 Further surprise to all automobile circles was the added announcement that Mir. R. c. Rueschaw had resigned as a director in, and sales manager of, the Rec Motor Car company, and has become vice president of the Mitchell company, to be associated with MT. Durland in the general management of the Mitchell company.
 The alignments thus brought about by change in activities of three men so important in the industrial world
Arizona republican., 1917-11-25
CHEVROLET BOON
 ID RANCHER WHO
 OWNS TWO FARMS

A Chevrolet "490' has proven to be the salvation of Ludwig Thude, who was confronted with a problem of dis couraging proportions when he became the proprietor of two farms so far re- moved each from the other that he could cover the distance only with great difficulty, but was forced to do SO because he did not wish to rest the responsibility of the .superintendency of either on the shoulders of another.
 Mir. Thude owns one farm in Chand- Ter. and another in Chino. which are separated by distance of about lT5 miles. On the Chino ranch he has 40 acres in beans and the remaining 40 acres in alfalfa. The Chandler ranch has about 120 acres Both demand constant attention.
 For the past four months Mir Thude has been riding between Chandler and Chino in his Chevrolet and getting by with his difficult task with little or no trouble.
 Between Prescott and Chandler the distance is about 135 miles. Mr. Thude has been making the run consistently on five gallons of gasoline. which is an average of 27 miles to the gallon.
 The car was purchased of the Brown Dryer Motor company.
 Like Chevrolets
 Scottsdale is 8 strong booster for the Chevrolet, according to an official of the Dryer Motor company, who declares that six of the cars have been sold in that section recently, and III are proving satisfactory.
 The purchasers are W. M. Stewart, J. A. Steiner, C. E. Caldwell Walter P. Smith, James Clark and R. B. Watson of Ingleside club.
Arizona republican., 1917-11-25

indeed constituted a trio of announce ments of more than ordinary interest
 Mir. Durland who, on December 1st assumes the office of president of the Mitchell company, graduated from Princeton University in 1894 with the degree of electrical engineer, and hds since been continuously connected with the General Electric company and pre- decessor corporations.
 Mir. Durlands acceptance of the presidency constitutes a vast stride forward for the Mitchell company, and his acquisition is a matter of con- graduation to the automobile indus try as a whole.
 By far the most surprising news to the automobile world, however, is the resignation of MT. Rueschaw as di- rector in. and sales manager of, the Rec Motor Car company.
 Mir. Rueschaw has been connected in an executive capacity with the Rec company practically since it's incep- tion having come with the company a year after it's organization in 1904
 MT. Rueschaw in an interview said:
 T leave the Rec company with the greatest measure of regret Fourteen years of active association is not easily severed without the maturest delibera- tion. l am sure my final decision was as much a surprise to me as it was to my associates in the Rec company but when the opportunity in the Mitch ell company was unfolded to me, from my knowledge of the motor car indus-
