A Brazilian publication calls atten
ton to a newspaper advertisement III
in Rio de Janeiro by a Detroit sutomC
bile company, which announces its Bra
lillian agency as at Quito, Ecuador. Thi
comment is made:
"The Quarterly" will be de-
lighted to hear from all those
Brazilians who have approached
the general agent Of the xxx-mO-
bile company Whose residence is
on top Of the Andes range in the
Republic of Ecuador, and who,
from that vantage point appears TO
control his company's trade in
BRAZIL, as to just what means OF
transportation they have used. The
project of crossing the interior or
the continent and climbing the
Andes seems at best little labor
ious. But then it is always posi-
Bile that the prospective customer
may have taken ship at Rlo de
Janeiro for Buenos Ayres, taken
train there and crossed the Cor
dillera-where, II the season be
unpropitious one can always walt

rived at Santiago and taken the

accomplishes this successfully, no

Should this style Of American
commercial advertising continue In

urers Of airships 10 dispose advan-

Something brand new in the way OF
an automobile body is one introduced
into this country by Robert Booth, OF
johannesburg. South Africa, the IN
ventor. The body is built in sections,
so that it lends itself readily to ship
ming at low cost With the outlook
for the expansion Of foreign trade by
American manufacturers after the war,
the idea is interesting from that point
of view. It is significant, too, FOR
domestic trade, when the chances for
increased freight rates are considered.
Such a body would mean more auto,
mobiles in freight car load and
therefore lower cost 10 consumers.
Furthermore, in case of damage to
any section panel, it can be replaced
without the trouble that mishaps to
bodies cause now. as we'll rs at lower
cost to the automobile owner.
The various sections Of the body are
bolted or screwed together by means
Of butt joints. The joints arc con-
cealed by means of beading. Mr.. Booth
saws these Joints can be made very fine,
so as not to cause the moulding to be
bulky and noticeable. The sections are
mounted on body stills, construction
