Growth of Overland
: Business On Coast Heavy

Frank C. Riggs, western district man
ager of the Willys-Overland company,
has made public the following very
interesting facts about the recent
growth of his eompany's business on
the Pacific coast.
"The business of The Willys-O Over
land company, represented on the coast
by the Overland-Paei Inc, of Wash
ington and Oregon, and the Willvs-
Overland of California, has shown a
tremendous increase since the COM
pany began to operate its own branch
es in the large coast cities.
"The demand for and purchase of
Overland and Willys-Knight cars in
each of the ten coast cities in which
the company now operates its own
branches, showed an average increase
of PIP per cent in January, 1917, over
the same month of the preceding year.
"The Willys-Overland branches are
essentially factory service stations
where owners of Overland and WHY'S
knight cars may get the best possible
factory to owner service, and where
dealers in the surrounding territory
may have their needs taken care of
promptly and efficiently

the $1,000 mark, while the lowest the
twelve-eylinder type can be purchased
for this year in $3.50.
American manufacturers being wiz
yards at quantity production, partieu-
larly the low priced machine makers.
the average price per car has been
cut in spite of higher cost of ma
terials.
The spectacular interest of motor
interested persons at the New York
and Chicago national automobile shows,
with continued enthusiasm at the other
successful motor ear expositions fired
the manufacturers with enthusiasm, for
it vindieated their observations that
led to deciding upon an outpu; of APP
proximately 100000 automobiles this
year. Dealers contracts placed at the
New York and Chicago shows cover
practically the entire contemplated out
put, so 1917 is in for our gigantic trip
hammer automobile sales campaign.

A NEW DAILY IN ALBANY.
Corvallis Gazette Times.)


A new daily paper called the Morn
ing Republican blossomed out in
Albany this morning We think Of any
thing Albany needs more than another
daily paper unless it is another skunk
farm. 1t will no doubt fill long felt
want. The first edition is a hummer
all right and can no doubt be kept up
to form providing the owners have a
government mint back of it. Albany is
good town, but one daily paper is all
it ought to be asked to support. Albany
merchants viii now know how to sym
pathize with Corvallis merchants who
are asked to advertise in one daily, two
wecklies, one semiweekly, five college
magazines, two ANNALS, and 5000, 900
programs. The recently enacted public
utilities law should be amended to ap-
plying to newspapers requiring them to
make a necessity" showing, Mr.. Ohl-
ing, formerly with the Albany Herald,
and an experienced newspaper man, has
charge of the long-felt-want, and as he
he makes his salutatory in seven lines,
is evident that he has too much sense
to make any rash promises

Maxwell Manager
Comments On Advertising

Exaggeration and the use of super
latives in the printed as in the spoken
word, inevitably react to the discredit
of the one employing them. Yet some
advertisers plunge on blindly, over
stating the merits of their product,
blatantly claiming all the super-excel-
lences for their wares and then wonder
that their more conservative competi-
tor outsells them Such was the
statement made by Andrew f. Coburn,
advertising manager of the Maxwell
Motor company. Continuing he said
"Modesty and firm respect for the
precise truth are qualities that are GER
tain to command respect = partly
partly through the infrequency of their
use.'
"Maxwell advertising endeavors to
convince by means of careful and
simple presentation Of pertinent facts;
we believe in simplicity for it is a full
brother to truth and it begets convic-
ton. Moreover most Of US are very
simple people and prefer to listen to
the language we understand
"Another thought 1 might mention
is this: every advertisement ought to do
more than merely interest the reader
i'll the MERCHANDISE. 1t ought to create
a favorable impression concerning the
company behind that merchandise. The
important thing is to get the public
confidence in an institution, not in a
product. If an institution is known to
have worthy aims, high ideals and a
sterling character, its name is sufficient
guarantee Of the worth of its goods.
If have confidence in manufacturer
I am receptive to his advertising. i
offer him no resistance. If I need his
products I buy them without persuasion
knowing they will be satisfactory"
"Too many advertisers SEEM con
cerned only with today and neglect to-
morrow and the day after. Proceeding
on a day-to-day basis is all right as
long as the going is good or if compe-
tition has curled up and died. But the

Shelter of Repairmen
Is Declared Inadequate

0. p. Hoff, state labor commissioner,
recently investigated the condition of
the machine shop of the Southern Pa.
cific company at Brooklyn, and found
that the shelter for the repairmen in
adequate to give them the protection
required under the law Accordingly,
this morning he sent out the following
letter to f. l.. Bprckhalter, superintend
cnt Of the Southern Pacific company:
"You are therefore notified that a
shed sufficiently large to give protec-
tion to all Of your repairmen in the
yard must be constructed. Realizing
that it will take some time to complete
the plans and perform the preliminary
work, 80 days will be given you from
date of this notice to do such work.
On or before the end Of 30 days, or
April l6, the construction of such shed
as required under the above quoted sec
tion of the Oregon law must be actually
commenced"

inion he wants to do something that is
very foolish. We shall always stand by
the country. but the president Is no czsr.
Moreover, We socialists will not stand
behind any czar.
OF ell parties, the socialist pavty Of
America surely is under the least
obligation to stand by Woodrow Viii
son. He was elected president and re.
ceived several hundred thousand so
cialist votes on the pretext that ''he
has kept ms out Of war. - II he plungeS
as into war now, why should we so
eialists stand for this new policyl
Nor do we agree that il is patriotic
to stand by Morgan, Schwab Co.
Their patriotism is dollar patriotism.
Our patriotism is the love of our folks

skinning the greatest mass is patriot

eountry-that is why l am one of the
founders of the socialist party of Ann
erica. But if Morgan, Schwab & Co.
are patriots, then l am no patriot. l
am not in their class.
Can Gain Nothing by War
Americas participation in the
world s war would be a crime against
humanity. Il would be an idiotie
blunder besides.
We can gain nothing in this war,
but we are sure to lose a great deal
by infinitely strengthening the worst
plutocracy the world has ever seen.
just look at the legislation they are
passing in congress now. There will
be less freedom in this country than in
Russia.
If Uncle Sam wants to start a
popular war, let him make war on the
high cost of living.
Let the administration in Washing
ton know that we here in Wisconsin
are willing to fight for the honor of
American women, for the lives of Am
eriean babies, but that we do not con
slider the honor of our flag as identical
with the profits of our billionaires.
Let congress and the president warn
citizens off the bclligerent ships. Let
congress and the president forbid Am
erican ships to enter the war zone.
They have no business there.
And above all, let Woodrow Wilson
follow the example of his illustrous
predecessor, Thomas Jefferson, and de-
clare complete embargo ON all food
stuff. 1t will end the war, save mil
lions of lives and stop all food riots.

MORE THAN A BILLION

100000. 900 were manufactured. The
average cost was $7S9-a triple header
record.
And now comes the conservative es-
fimated production for 1917 with l.
go, ,291 machines, at a total value of
81 200, 900, 900, or an average cost OF
$40. And the point of saturation is
still long way off. Prosperity
is rampant in the United States and the
total volume of business to be done Is
restricted only to the number of au-
tomobiles the factories can turn out.
Four-Cylinder Models Lead.
Considered from a percentage pasis,
manufacturers Of four-eylinder ears
viii build "a Is per cent of the l.
$50, ,29I machines to be made in 1917.
Six-cyiinder machines will represent
n per cent, while eights and twelves,
which are known to the trade as mul-
tiple cylinder group. comprise the bal
anee of the years output. OF fours,
there will be l,256,920; skies, 325,04l;
eights, go, ,l60; twelves, 20, $50.
Numerically, the fours always have
led the industry in production, but
their percentage of the trade output
has varied. In 1913 they represented
SIS 7-S Of the total production; in 1914
they. recorded 90 2-5; in 1915 they
dropped to 80 per cent; in 1916, to
72.5, but 1917 sees them climbing to
74.5, due to greatly increased manufac-
ture.
Six-cylinder cars to the number of
70,965 were built in 1913; in 1914 they
dropped to 54,941; in 1915, jumped to
l37,275; in 1916, went up to 287,0SS
and for 1917 they will hit 352,04l.
The percentage of six-cylinder pro-
duetion has fluetuated from $40 per
cent in 1914 to 22 per cent in 1916.
The 1917 percentage will be q per
cent.
In the multiple-cyli field, there
has been very pronounced advance.
The eights, for instance, numbered
1880 in 1915; in 1916 they went to
53,iO0, while the 1917 program calls
for 60, 100. The twelves built in 1915
numbered 500; in 1916 they made a
skyrocket leap to 1850, while the
1917 schedules will provide for 2O,-
$50.
The 1917 program witnesses the in
PRODUCTION of the first one-cyhnder
ear selling for less than 5000, and
1000 of these vehicles will be built.
One hundred cars of one-cylinder
power plant at $500 will be made,
while only 100 fours at less than $500
each will be made. The heaviest pro-
duction OF any make will be in the
four-cylilrler class selling between
$500 and $399, of which there will be
70l, $50.

Eugene Cannery To Build
Big Addition to Plant

Eugene, Ore, March 17.-Another
big addition to the cannery Of the Eu-
gene Fruit Growers association will be
erected at once, according to announce
ment of directors at their last meeting
authorized the purchase of the John M
Singletary residence property adjoining
the eannery property on the south, to
make room for the new addition, The
structure will be 48x60 feet, and will
be used as an additional preparation
room. This is found necessary in view
of the fact that the capacity of the
plant will be enlarged this year and
many more hands will be employed dur
ing the fruit and vegetable season than
ever before.
