PLENTY OF GREASE IS
NECESSARY TO SUCCESS

One of the things that makes the
year run smoothly and easily is grease.
and plenty of it, OF course this does
not mean that the whole car has to
be dripping oil and grease to- have it
properly fabricated. Some men take
the car out of the garage on Sunday,
con overalls and then spatter grease
and oil from one end of the place to
the other. They grease the motor un-
Til it smells bad when it should be
running smoothly.
Then on the other hand there is the
man who never greases his car and
who never looks at it. He wonders
when some part breaks because it has
been runningg dry for long time.
With the invention of the Alemtic
high pressure greasing system has
come revolution in lubricating me-
thods for motor cars. With this sys-
tenn the grease is forced into the bear
'ingg under 500 pounds pressure, fore
ing the old stuff out and replacing it
with new.

FISK CO. HAS 1870
SEPARATE BRANCHES

| One of the most efficient distribute
ing systems operated by a manufac-
turing concern in the United States
is that Of the Fisk Rubber Company
of Chicopee Falls, Mass. This system,
which by the way, is the most extern
sive employed by any tire manufac-
turing company, includes more than
1S0 spearate branches in as many of
the large cities of the country. These
stations are maintained entirely for
the purpose of keeping tire dealers
supplied with fresh stock and TO fur
nish every one of those dealers with
a 4-hour-or-less delivery. Branches
are so situated that nearly every spot
in the United States may be reached
by one of them inside the one-day
limit.
In order to keep such an extensive
system well stocked with fresh goods,
number of large warehouses have
been established at advantageous
points These warehouses are sup
Piled in carload lots direct from the
Chicopee Falls plant, and they, in
turn, control the stocks of the branch
es in their territory. Warehouses are
located at Oakland, Cal, Kansas city,
Mo-; Chicago, st. Paul, Atlanta and
Toledo. and new one is under con-
struction at Richmond. Chicopee

MARCH BREAKS RECORD
IN FORD CONSTRUCTION

March broke all production records
ever made by the Ford company, both
for the number of cars produced in
one day and one month. In March
274.256 cars left the assembly lines at
the home plant and branches, while
the record for the month was s4.299
cars These figures represent pro-
duction in the United States only, do
not take into consideration the Cana
dian or foreign plants.
Notwithstanding the fact that pro-
duction in April dropped to less than
SO per cent of normal, because of the
strike, Ford officials say that for the
fiscal year, which ended July 81 they
attained the million mark of produc-
tion.

the news has Just been received by

Oregon distributors for the car.
The Essex not only shattered the
best previous record. but succeeded in
making the time from New York to
San Francisco four days. fourteen
hours and forty-three minutes. This
beats the best previous record time
by IL hours and AS minutes.
No details of the phenomenal per-
Torrance other than the time has
been received, but the telegram
brought as much satisfaction into the
local camp as tn announcement of
the Hudson's famous transcontinental
round-trip did. The Hudson is also
in the Oregon Motor Garage.

Water in C'rankcase

Few motorists realize that a com
paratively large quantity OF water
gradually accumulates in the crank
case mixing with the oil and form
ing an emulsion which has impaired
lubricating qualities. This aceumu-
lation of water is more pronounced
in winter than in summer and is
found to q greater extent as the num-
ber of cylinders increases. This
brings out the Importance of chang
ing the oil every 1000 miles, and for
the best lubricating results every 500
miles, in which case the old oil may
be run through a chamois skin to re-
move the water, after which it may
be used again.
