And our dealers were unanimous in
the opinion that in most cases the
prospect was as disappointed as was
the salesman.
So the REQ engineers concentrated
their minds on body that should be
readily adaptable to many different
hnes OF buslness-for city, suburban
ana farm use. This new REQ body was
developed along different lines No at
tempt was made to render the same
attachment convertible to many forms.
Instead, a different attachment was
made for each special use-to meet
the needs of users in many branches
OF commercial, industrial and agri
cultural hauling"

Diamonds Used in
Nash Factory Work

Fiftythousand dollars worth of
black diamonds are used each year in,
the production of Nash passenger
cars and trucks. Instead of its more
familiar background of gold and plati-
nun, the diamond as seen in the fac
tory is set in a small socket at the
end of short and unromantic steel
bar. Both diamond and Setting are
covered with grease and CRIME and in
this unsightly but practical garb the
Sob" assigned to the king of gems
is the more or less prosaic though
vitality important duty of regrinding
the surfaces of emery wheels.
1t Is the emery wheel that is de-
pended upon for the high degree of ac-
curacy demanded in the Nash factory
for bearing surfaces of the crank
shaft, the cam shaft and for pistons
transmission sleeves and imilar parts

Adapting Bodies to
MANY Business Tses

Just what can be considered a suit
able commercial vehicle to fit the
average business mans needs has
been problem of the truck manu-
tacturers for many years." says James
). Hunt, general manager of the REQ
Motor Car Company of New York. Inc
Some time ago we made an investiga-
ton to ascertain why fully so per cent
of the purchasers of the REQ speed
wagon bought stripped chassis instead
OF the complete truck with body.
while making this survey we STUN
bled onto another important bit of in
formation. namely. that frequently
sales were lost because the standard
REQ body-we made only one, the ex-
press with the canopy top--was not
quite adaptable to the buyers needs.

Glimpse OF the past.

An odd bit of the past turns up in
list Of old publications soon to be
sold at auction. namely. to give It its
full Imposing title. "a Sermon
Preached at white.Chappel, In the
Presence of Many Honorable and
Worshlpfull, the~ Adventures and
Planters for Virginia." and Published
for the Benefit and Use of the Colony
Planted, and to Bee Planted There, and
for the Advancement OF Their Chris.
tian Purposes" Rev. William Sy.
monds preached that sermon. notes
Christian Science Monitor. Snd de-
scribed Virginia as land "with the
frultfulness whereof England. our
mistress, can not compare, no, not when
she Is in her greatest pride" Yet he
preached to rather sorry congrega-
tion, says history, largely composed of
immigrants who had failed at home
through bad habits little calculated to
help In a new country.

LATE BATHERS PLEASE
CLOSE THE PARK GATE
Editor Courier

Editor Courier
In conversation last night with the
park superintendent, Mr.. MartelettI.
he stated that he was having good
deal OF trouble with automobile par
ties that visit the park after II p.
m. The park superintendent remains
on duty until that hour, and then
closes the gate across the driveway.
There are always a certain number
Of horses and cattle along the coun-
ty road and unless this gate Is shut
at night the park would soon be
anything but the clean place that Il
is. The complaint OF the park su-
perintendent is that the late visitors
afer opening the gate and driving
through the park. fail TO close the
gate, often leaving the gate care
lessly thrown aside. Belated tour
lists who use the auto camping
grounds are very careful to close the
gate. but It Is our own townspeople
who cause the trouble. It would ap-
pear that ! O'Clock was late enough
for anybody to be driving through
the park, and IL later visit is neces-
sary. It would show some considera-
tion for the rights OF others il these
parties would play fair and leave
the park gate as they found it.
