Price Advance Bound to Y
Come, SAYS Saxon Dealer

THE enormous supply OF material
bought by the Saxon Motor Car conf
pany under the old prices and stored
away has at last been exhs" ID as
serts w. L. Killy OF the \ .Killy
Motor company, "and the r.ice OF
saxon models must advance, effective
April 10.
Harry Ford. head OF the Saxon
Motor Car company. fortified himself
against this situation when it became
evident that prices of raw material
would continue on their upward flight
for some time. At his direction every
spare dollar which he could command
was invested in raw material. Thus
the Saxon manufacturers were able
TO maintain the low price until now.
In commenting upon the price ad-
vance Mr.. Killy feels that the Saxon
still maintains the same relative posi-
ton even under the advanced prices
owing TO the increases effected by
competitors. "The Saxon" asserts
KiIly, is still the lowest priced six

LIBERTY LOAN
HAS PREFERENCE
TN u. s. TIRE AID

Among the first OF the large ma
tional advertisers to take up the
duplex plan Of advertising advocated
by the Liberty loan committee in
connection with the third Liberty loan
is the United States Tire company,
whose copy for April will be a COM
bination OF Liberty loan and tirc-sell-
ing appeal
Under the duplex plan, the adver-
tiser is asked to prepare and furnish
his own copy and in it to advertise
both the loan and his own product. In
previous campaigns the advertiser was
asked to donate space or funds with
which to buy space in which Liberty
loan copy cmanating from loan ad-
gertising headquarters was to appear.
But the duplex plan was believed by
the committee to offer an excellent
opportunity to demonstrate by means
Of linking up the business advertising
with the loan advertising that the
one big business today is the war and
It's successful prosecution.
For some time the United States
Tire company has been injecting the
war idea" into its copy and such war
problems as the transportation situa-
ton have been persistently featured.
The company's copy for April will
lay stress on the Liberty loan and
will at the same time talk United
States tires.

CADILLAC MEN ARE
LONG ASSOCIATED
lien in Big Motor Car Fac
ty Have Specialized
in Work for Long
Time.

IA recent ehecking-up OF its shop
organization BY the Cadillac Motor
Car company has revealed some facts
which are OF especial interest at this
time, asserts ]. H. Hansen OF the
JeaeS.iiansen Cadillac company.
Perhaps the most impressive fea-
tire developed is that. in very large
measure. the men who do the fne
machine work on the Cadillac car
have been in the employ OF the COM
1sny and associated with each other
o. years.
''In the Cadillac factory are 5Z
;uperintcndents, department managers
'.Nnd forcmen who have, been continu-
osisly employed by the company, for
more. than 10 years, many OF them
even IS years or longer. There are
143 others whose service is between
I've and 10 years. Practically all OF
these men. Of course, are above the
age limit for military service, at least
10 far as the draft is concerned.
This list OF 1876 men contains the
name OF one who has been in Cadillas
service 20 years, one with an ls-year
record, and the average term OF en-
ployment for all of them, including
the fve-year men, is we'll over Seven
years.
in commenting on these facts, the
company observes that 1t would be
possible 10 duplicate the mechanical
equipment Of Cadillac shops, but the
know-how' factor-the man element
lis beyond duplication. /.
"Thc man who has been engaged
Tor five, 10 or Is years in the special
zed business OF making tools or pat
terms, cutting gears, machining con-
aecting rods or any Of the multitudin-
Gus other functions required il. the
production OF the car, has reached the
point where the required processes,
although highly specialized in them
selves, have become second nature
with him, and his interest is absorbed
n the development Of minute refine
nefts."

ar-Finish Protected
In DriveaWay Delivery

Since freight congestion compels
that many motor cars be delivered
from factories to dealers under their
own power over the road, the ingen-
uity OF manufacturers and dealers
has been at work to devise an effcc-
tive way of protecting the finish from
the effects of road splashing.
Many methods have been proposed,
and the Cadillac Motor Car company
believes the plan evolved by its dealer
at Baltimore to be one of the most
efficient.
A framework of light wood is at
tached to the car and over this is
placed an envelope, properly fitted.
All parts Of the car except the wheels
and the front tenders are protected
by waterproof material which is
held firm and taut by clips and cleats.
The wooden frame prevents the en-
ve1opc from rubbing the fine finish,
or coming into contact with It at all.
Even the interior OF the car Is pro-
tcctcd, for the envelope extends up-
ward to the lower edge of the top.
