RENEWED" CARS
F|NDREADY MARKET
Wars Decrease of New Autos
Brings Renovation Of
old Ones.
SUCCESSFUL CAMOUFLAGE

The tremendous decrease in passen-
ger car manufacture brought about
by Uncle Sans need of materials and
of the facilities with which automo-
bile factories are equipped to turn
out government work has brought
the car-owning and car-buying pub
lie to fuller realization of the pos
sibilities Of the used car.
Many car owners who traded in
their old cars annually for new ones
or else sold them at a sacrifice are
now contenting themselves with re-
The multiplicity of uses which have
been found for the automobile have
also tended to continue with the old
car in service.
Dealers all over the country have
been quick to grasp the possibilities
in the situation and are promoting
and featuring used car sales with
gratifying results. especially in those
cases where they have made their
cars attractive in appearance to the
buying public.
Renewed Cars Popular.
One firm in Boston. which deals ex-
clusively in a certain low-priced car,
purchased fifty used cars of the make
last winter, gave them thorough
engine overhauling and furnished
them with new tops. new upholstery
and a coat of paint and varnish
These cars were labeled Renewed
-" The firm added 20 per cent to
the selling price to cover the renew
ing" process and the cars sold readily
at a good price.
The used car department of large
manufacturing corporation has adopt
ed clever "camouflage" stunt to aid
in the sale of its used cars. A used
car is divided through the center by a
partition Of beaver board. on which is
painted sky line tapering off into a
cloudy haze. which merges well into
the ordinary sky effect. A phoney
steering wheel is placed in position
on the side opposite the regular
wheel. One side Of the car is splashed
with mud and oil and fitted with old
tires and old cushions. The other
side Of the car is resplendent in new
paint. new tires and new upholstery.
The effect is strange and startling,
especially when the car is driven up
and down the streets with a driver
seated at each steering wheel. The
idea, of course. is to show what care
and renovation can do in making an
old car attractive.

Plant a Revelation,

Few motorists realize the many diff
ferent forms of labor that are repre-
sented in the cars that they drive. and
because of this fact a trip through
an automobile plant would be a rev.
elation to them.
In the machine shop there are four
groups of workers-the general ma
chinists. the operators Of special ma
chimes. the tool makers and die
makers. Motor building is another
diversified task. providing employ
ment for the general gas engine me-
chanics. dynamometer experts, gen
eral repair men. who do the tuning
and adjusting; bearing scrapers,
bearing filters. rod filters, crankcase
filters. cylinder filters and valve
grinders.
Two different gangs are used for
first assembly, one assembling the
axle and transmission and the other
building UP the chassis. Carpenters
and metal men are employed in the
body department. the former being
divided into door hangers. joiners and
filters. while the latter are classi- j.
fed as hammermen, pressmen, back
hangers, fender makers. tank makers.
solderers and tinsmiths.

MANY HAVE A HAND
IN BUILDING AUTOS
Probably Represents More Di-
versived Labor Than Any
Other Mechanism.

In all probability the automobile
represents more diversified labor than
any other mechanism ever made.
The Jack l-trades. in fact. has
no place in the modern motor car
plant. where only specialists. each an
expert in his special and closely de-
fined line Of work. are employed.
There was time in the dark ages
OF motoria when the automobile was
the creation Of few men. The
famout "999." for example. was. built
by but four pairs of hands. They be-
longed to Henry Ford. who was then
a humble mechanic: Tom Cooper. once
the idol of the bicycle racing world:
Barney Oldfeld. the oldest and most
popular of automobile race drivers.
and Spider HUFF
Such achievements. however, are
not duplicated today. One hundred
men. at least. identified with fifty or
more trades. can boast of having had
hand in the production of each car
that leaves the automobile plant.

WAR EMERGENCY IS
CAUSE OF INCREASE
Underwriters Add Another
10 Per Cent to Business
Since July 4, 1917

a war emergency increase of 10 per
cent will be placed on all fire insur-
ance policies in the Birmingham dis
trict not included in the raise of July
4, 1917 effective April /, according to
announcements made yesterday This
information is official from the South
eastern Underwriters association.
The following statement has been
received from the Underwriters asso-
ciation:
"In 1917 the fire insurance companies
in the south were compelled, in order
to meet increasing expenses and losses,
to advance the rates on certain un-
profitable classes of risks. The COM
panies claim continued growth of such
expenses and losses has demonstrated
that increased revenue from other
lines is required to meet the abnormal
conditions produced by the war. a 10
per cent increase in rates on the
classes of insurance not advanced iaat
year to meet, in part, these increased
growing expenses is necessary.
I'm 1917 the fire losses in the Uni
ted states Increased Approximately
s35. 600, 900 over 1916. A large portion
of these losses is attributed to con-
ditions developed by the war. Many
suspicious losses indicate the work IF
alien enemies and the actual danger
of fire losses is greater than before,
according to the analysis of fire in
surance experts. Omitting 1917 as j
year above the average, the companies
ia bulation of insurance underwriting
results for the past 10 years, ending
with 1916, shows the average profits
to have been but 1867 per cent. The
aggregate of all items of increase due
to prevailing conditions cannot be less
than 10 per cent according to the COM
panies' estimate.
"The companies also point to the
fact that they are compelled by law
to preserve intact their capital and
insurance reserve They point to the
fact that to allow these to become
reduced or impaired would be followed
by the legal forfeiture of the right
tc continue to do business, as well as
the lessening of the protection given
to policyholders."
