AUTO SUPPLY MAN
 BACK FROM COAST

C. K Hughes of the Auto Supply
 company has just returned from q
 weeks business trip to Los Angeles,
 made for the purpose of visiting the
 up-to-d date accessory houses and ser
 vice stations there. He states that
 he ran across several Ideas for ser
 vice 10 motor car owners which will
 be put in operation al The House of Service"
 Business conditions there, particu- larly in the automobile and supply lines are very good. and there is much confidence in the future. While most dealers and jobhers are keeping thheir
 stocks at q minimum, in case of drop in prices should the war stop, their sales are far in advance of any
 previous time, and they all expect banner year
 Aside from looking into service as put into practice bv the dealers there,
 Mir. Hughes spent sometime with the jobbers buying new stock and up-to- date novelties. He practically closed deal for bringing into Phoenix an eastern lubrieating oil which is wide ly known and used on the coast, but has not as yet been sold here. This .oil will be handled in carload lots. and distributed over the state by the Auto Supply company

Hughes states that he walked down Broadway ! in Les Angeles from first to fifth street noting the number of Racine l tires on the cars at the curb. One l car out of three had from one to l four and in the five blocks, eighteen l ears were Racine equipped all around. The Los Angeles distributor is hand

One gear shift would, it is said, shift gears during the lifetime of q motOrisi and still not show any traces of wear. for there is no more wear on its mechanism than there is on horseshoe magnet

 "A hand gear shifting lever is car ried in every Premier kit, but no one has ever had occasion to use one Of these yet, and. according to the Pre- mier chief engineer probably nobody ever will have 10 use the lever"

Foresight and Courage

It has required an enormous invest ment in plant and equipment to prepare for this enormous produc- ton.
 The prime requisite in the automobile industry is still foresight and cour- age.
 Mir. Willys foresees a demand this year in excess of the possible supply.
 In addition to enormous investment v in plant and equipment Mir. Willys had the courage to contract long ago for enormous quantities of raw materials-S35 oOG0O0 worth al- ready i,s hanj for this years record product T. See all this reflect u n the values we have to show you in the most comprehensive line of cars ever built by any one producer. Note especially the remarkable values represented in the Big Four at $S50 and the Light Six at $9S5.

ARIZONA RUBBER
 COMPANY BUSY

They were the busy little bees over at a place on automobile row yester- day. The orders were pouring in and the tires were running out. both literally and figuratively. The Arizona Rubber company formerly known as the Lowe Rubber company and now owned by Mrs. Laura Curry, are hav-
 ing a hard time to make two ends of the tire business meet Supply and demand. The demand is plentiful and
 it keeps the supply end hustling to
 keep up with the orders which are
 constantly pouring in. according to
 Mrs. Curry.
 The well-known Kelly Springfield
 brand are handled by the Arizona
 Rubber company, who are exclusive
 state agents for what 1t known aa
 the best fabric tire on the market.
 Blackstone tires, a lower priced brand
 but considered pre-eminent in it's
 class is also sold by the local dis
 tributors. Howe tubes are another
 line carried while the famous Miller Carburetor. used by all the great raca drivers are one of the big items on the sales list
 Business conditions in our trade were never better" declared Mrs. Curry yesterday.
 Our only trouble lies in keeping up with our orders. In Phoenix, as well as Nogales, where We have an- other branch, We are steadily increase ing our record every month At i Nogales, we are supplying the L. s. | army with Kelly Springfield pleasure and truck tires. The army is very favorable to this brand and in fact, kelly-Springfieids are specified in war department orders The tires have stood up wonderfully under the heavy army usage and as q result, many of the officers have placed them upon their own private cars'' The RailvSDringfield company has been forced to double their present cs-i,.lciIy order to keep up with tha heavy demand upon them for ship ments to their dealers.
 Another department of the Arizona Rubber company is the vulcanizlng plant in the rear of the salesrocms on Central avenue. The plant is thor 1 oughly equipped and up-to-date in I every respect. Under the personal
 charg of Jack Smith. thoroughly ex- ! perienced tire and automobile man, the work turned out by this depart ment has created many friends amongst the auto owners of Phoenix. l llne several carloads month. What
 most impressed him, however, was
 the fact that everyi dealer he talked | to- although handling other tires. l commented on the excellent service 1 rendered by Racine tires, and several

MotorGalS

Automobile values as at present established are largely due to the foresight and courage of Mir. John N. Willys, the president of this institution.
 He foresaw the universal use of the automobile and had the courage to produce quality cars in larger quantities than they had ever before been produced. Steadily increasing production made possible savings and economies which steadily reduced costs and repeatedly established new values. Eight years ago, with net worth of little more than $50,000 this com pany produced 465 cars. This year, with a net worth of over S6S, 100000 we must produce over 200,0 cars to fill our dealers contracts.
