our anticipated production of 125, 1000
cars for 1917 will not be near enough
TO satisfy the demand. We made and

cars last year-and We could have sold
double that number Of cars if it had
been possible for US to produce them.
Dealers from the middle west and other
points IN after dance at the Chicago
show were enthusiastic in their praise
of the new Studebaker cars-and they
showed their sincerity in a very sub

suggest this means to secure prompt
deliveries. Howey er, the Paige Detroit
Motor Car company reports the fact
that the demand for cars just now is
SO great that in spite of severe weather
many dealers are driving away their
allotments. rather than wait for the
regular means of deliveries.
we have never before encountered
such an eager demand at this time Of
the year" says Harry NJ. JeWett pres
ident of the Paige MANY dealers are
actually Drawing the severest weather
and the most difficult road conditions
to drive their cars from the factories
to their home territory.
Several conditions are responsible
for this. First there is the cxtraordi-
nary demand for the cars that is con-
tinaallv Urging the dealer on to hasten
his deliveries and which, in spite Of
the fact that we are working day and
night at the factory. keeps US behind
on our orders. Again. the dealers,
anxious to take advantage of this de-
mand, dc not want to take chances on
ordinary freight transportation be-
cause of the congested condition of the
railroad business.
Not only are the dealers driving
the cars home but they are adopting
every other means possible to secure
deliveries. as ears are being shipped
by express, on flat cars and in every
other way that can be devised to get
them to their destin lti0n."

PLANTATION. c. Greenway, chairman
and managing director of the COM
pany, stated that the companys ac-
cured dividends amounted to con-
siderably more than one-half million
dollars. Ten-inch pipe lines had been
completed that permitted the ship
ment of 360 million gallons of oil
year and additional pumping stations
are planned that will raise this to
three million tons. But the really
significant statement was that the
fields had merely been scratched and
that they gave promise of furnish
ing enough Oil to fill large portion,
if not the whole of Great Britain's
enormous demand for petroleum prod
ucts.
Mr.. Greenway stated that it had be-
come a matter of the highest impe-
rial Importance to safeguard the de-
velopment of the fields.
