so satisfactory that we may be par
doned for having been inclined to
think sometimes that there was little
left for us to learn along these lines.
"And then along came the war and
with it the necessity of turning over
the automobile plants to war work."
continues Mr.. Rucschaw "Most auto
mobile makers had never done any
work for the government, and while
we knew t!.at the work was exacting
and close we had no doubt of our
ability to take it in our stride as it
were
eve began to sit up and take notice
of these keen-eyed, earnest young men
who had no hesitancy in telling US,
when the occasion warranted it, that
our best was not good enough for
Uncle Sam. We began to appreciate
tho wonderful quality results that
came from this super-inspection.
At first our inspectors were inclined
TO feel that the government men were
needlessly fussy, but gradually they,
100, were convinced by the results OBJ
tanned. And so they learned new
tricks of close inspection, and now
they have learned them the lesson Will
not be forgotten.
AS a result, now that we are back
on passenger car production, every car
that leaves the plant is built with the
same infinitely painstaking care that
characterized the trucks we made, and
each one c2n be counted on to give as
good an account of itself"

Now. when you have speed the machine

Larson Sure Space
Numbers Are Omens

c. H. Larson. Of the CuttingLarson
Company, New York distributors OF the
Oldsmobic cars, and chairman OF this
years automobile show, was not i'm
pressed when the blindfolded boy who
drew space numbers for the passenger
car show produced No. 10 for the Olds-
mobile, When, however, the draw WAS
made for the truck, and tractor show
and the boy again handed out No. 19
for "Olds," Mr.. Larson was instantly
convinced that his highest hopes were
to be realized.
He has for some time had strong rea-
son for belief that this is to be the
Oldsmobile's banner year. Everything
is favorable. He has the goods. better
than anything the Lansing plant ever
previously turned out. Something to
set both shows talking. And now here
was the ballot giving him No. 19 twice
out of some 800 spaces! And not only
that. 1t gave him all the numbers that
indicate this year of our era and in
their proper sequence, too.
Mr.. Larson just knows that 1919 is
to be "Oldsmobile's year"
