HEARD ABOUT AUTOMOBILES HERE AND THERE
Breaking Output Records
 Habit Of Franklin O..

Breaking production records is get ti1g s5 be a habit with the Franklin Automobile company, and this eondi' tion seems particularly eXpedient these dnys when the demand for this eco- 4s,mical car has so greatly increased.
 only few weeks ago the company reported a factory production record of -5 cars per week and now comes the announcement that 294 cars, an aver aGe of 554 cars per day for the five Aud a half working days of the week, have been constructed in single week. Since the fall schedule calls for 282 ears per week, it is apparent that the producers are striving at least to keep ahead of the schedule outlined for them, even if they cannot quite keep pace with the sales demand for the Franklin car.
 When the five new additions to the plant were put into service in March, it was expected that congestion would

Porter Smith, of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company, is visiting the local Paige distributor for the purpose of de- vising new plans to give better service to the Paige owners. Mr. Smith has been here several days, going into details with MT. Pennington, and it is expected that Paige owners will soon appreciate M,. Smiths visit.
 All the officials from the Paige factory are visiting dealers throughout the coun- try, using every effort to complete plans with the dealer and to familiarize them with the manufacture of Paige automo- piles and to make arrangements to in sure them against short deliveries of cars due to abnormal conditions.
 While certain other motor car/ com panies have been experiencing a slow-up in, production and failing off in sales. the Paige company has taken another sig nificant step forward in preparation for a~Gontnued increase in bushes by leas- ing another big building in Detroit.

REESE ADAMSON DISPENSED EFFICIENCY GALORE WHEN

By JEFF RAILEH

lustrious dad who happens to hoia down a pew in the lower branch of the national House of Representatives for no other reason than the proven fact that his district, which sur rounds CarrolHon, Ga, where he re- sides could not find d better man.
 Birnfnghamers have got to go down into tbeir appreciation cellars and un- cork some of the old 1o-year-old va rietv of congratulations (you know what mean) for Reese, for he put on a show at the Tutwiler last week that made a trainload of Brittanicas look ashamed of their contents, when it comes down to the honest-to-good mesa chat that gets under the hide of old carelessness Tn bringing pr. Johnson to Birmingham Mir. Adamson drew high card, and it was a win ner. He trumped the auto row with an ace that took the pot. Dr. John son exudes this efficiency stuff from every pore of his skin, and he is some porous, too at that.
 Reese IS about as efficient along the feed line as he is in placing these frisky 4d cars all over Birmingham and adjacent roadways. He dealt out menu that made the boys six inches away from the board touch, before taps blew for the lights.
 These efficiency meetings are held every once and then by the Adam son Motor Car company, and never yet have they failed to register with the guests Mir Adamson is after the best efficiency "chatters' that are available. and he is right on trail of another good one every time he finishes heat.
 You fellows ought to get in on these meetings-th they are choclz full of ir restible thought, profound logic and timely experience.
