STEEL PLAYS A BIG PART IN MAKING
 MODERN MOTORS

Few people realize the important part steel plays in modern automobile manu- facturing" says Sterling Edwards of the Edwards Motor Company, local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars.
 "Steel forms the backbone of each au- tomobile as well as the mainstay of its vital parts. It enters into the construc- ton of the frame, axles, shafts. motor and other units which are subjected to the severest strains.
 Upon the quality of lile steel used In these parts, important things Gepend. It is responsible in great measure Tor strength and long wearing qualities. The safety and comfort of passengers depend upon it. The medium weight design that makes the up-to-date car so economical to operate, is based on the strength Of the highest grade steel
 .'Steel is made from wrought iron by the use of carbon. The mount of car"on used detefmines it's toughness, brittleness and strength
 "Other substances sucn as manganese chrome. nickie and tungssan give the steel special characteristics for different uses When these are added .neir rroper- ties are developed by heat treatment.
 "In modern automobile factorles where quantity production warrants the use or the finest equipment. every facility is eln- ployed to insure just the light qt'~hty Tn the steel used.
 bought Scientific ovens are used, ana special laboratories are maintained where a complete staff of metallll Scai ana chemical experts keep constant watch over every phase of the steels develop ment."

GOODYEAR PLANT

First Tire Built Will Be Placed In Company's
 Museum

Los Angeles became the industrial metropolis of the Pacific coast few days ago when the $10,oc00OO new factory of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company of California started operation just ten mcnths after ground was broken.
 The first tire was built by P. w. Lltch1 field, vice president and factory manager of the Akron company, who made the long trip west for that purpose. Other high officials of both Akron and Cali fcrnia companies participated in turning out the first pneumatic.
 Word was immediately telegraphed 10 Akron, where whistles were blown and ht- ting observance made of the interesting event This tire will be placed in the oompanys museum in it's new welfare building, the largest in the world.
 The California company begins opera tion with 2O09 employees, of which 700 are in the offices and 1900 in the factory One-half of the factory employees were ex- perienced tire builders sent from Akron to train the 1000 men who will ultimately be employed
 The new company has erected many bungalows for it's workers, financing them in the same manner that has enabled 15 GOO Akron employees to enjoy comfort able homes.
 Adjoining the factory an aviation field of 300 acres has been laid out, with large/ hangar tor airships. This field Will later be the terminus of the company ii. line between the Los Angeles factory and it's cotton plantation near fhoenlN'

.DORT SALES SHOW A

'Comparisons are the best way to judge business. Going over Dort sales we find that every month shows gain over the same month last year. even periods when we made new records. says John D. Mansfield. general sales manager of the Dort Motor Car Com panY.

"The automobile has gained recognition as a genuine necessity, hence the de- mand It is not because people nave been~.mad with desire to spend their money; it is because those who do not own cars have come to a realization that by no other means can they make the minutes count

tells Of the breaking of the dam and the subsequent water shortage:
 This let down the water which is sup piled from the storage plant to our coag- ulating tank, thence to our reservoir and cut off all supply of water and we could not get any after our reservoir was dry to supply the city. The dam broke out at Il o'clock at night and we were com pletely out of water by the next morn ing.
 The writer was at loss what to do for a rigging to pump water from our brook into our coagulating tank. l secured the surrounding country for pumping outfits the best I could do was get delivery in two weeks.
 ''I had centrifugal pump in my store house that was dsmantled seven or eight years ago. Immediately had this brought to the brookside and rigged Up. In the meantime l attached pulley to the rear wheel of one of your remarkable Ford roadsters, blocked the rear wheels, at tached a belt to one of them and pumped the water from the brook to our coagu- lating tank, thus saving the day.
 This outfit pumped 750,0OO gallons of water in twenty-four hours"

The long faces that some of the au- tomobjle men are wearing these days of restricted credit are not going to do them a bit of good The fellow who can smile when things go wrong, diS in and work harder than ever, is the fellow who is going to weather the storm and come out of the mix-up 10 K.
 Everybody knows that the banks have clamped down on automobile paper" It's difficult to finance deal for a motor car in these days. Every Tom, Dick and Harry cant buy bus now as he could thirty days ago. No more long-term notes go and a larger amount of cash must be paid down when the order is signed. Used cars are not traded in at prohibitive figures now. Everything is frightening up.
 But there is no reason for the deal CTS to sit down and mourn over their fate. It's time to be working harder easily as they could be two months ago. Prospects are more limited. But they're there just the same. People who can afford autmobiles are still buying them.

 Don Drennen states that these driv- CTS who prop their truck hoods open these hot days are ''all wrong II they do 1t to keep the motor cool
 The hood on a truck should De kept closed at all times" said MT. Drennen yesterday. Tt merely defeats the pur- pose of the hood to leave it open. With the hood down the fan blows the air through the radiator back over the engine and it passes out in back. With the hood open, the air sucked through the radiator by the fan has no certain direction to travel and most or It IS lost on each side without it ever reach ir@ the motor"

 Joe Meighan of the W. T. Sanborn Co made a special trip to Detroit Chicago and Cleveland recently, ln- specting machinery at the various au- tomoble factories. He wanted to find out what is the best machinery used in grinding cylinders. Sanborn finally decided to use the same machine that is used in the General Motors plants ard installed one. The second is being installed at the present time and the chances are that others will be added shortly. Sanborn also has special ma chimes for straightening and regrind- il 3 crank shafts.
 We've made a special study of re- grinding cylinders said Joe Meighan yesterday, "and went into the work In detail before we ever installed any machinery to handle that kind of work We knew what we were doing when we installed the machines and we also knew that we had the right machines There is no guesswork about it. We're using the same machines that General Motors has standardized upon. We re- grind cylinders accurately down to one one -thousandth of an inch"
 Howard Fulenwder of the Fulen- wider Auto Supply Company states that the deliveries from manufacturers are improving greatly and that he hopes to soon be able to care for the many accessory orders that are being re ccived through the mails and by his sa lesmen from all parts of the state.

WAUSEON INDUSTRY
THAT GROWS

The Automotive Body Company on
Tuesday of this week shipped car
load of motor-truck cabs to Detroit
and expect to have four more car
loads of truck cabs and bodies ready
for shipment by the last of the week.
This new company that began opera
tions last March has struck it's stride
so to speak in comparatively short
time. They have completed and
shipped, up to the first of last week
125 truck cabs and rs stake truck
! bodies. This weeks record brings
them to the limit of their present ca
pacity, in fact their entire output of
| the type of cabs and bodies they are
now shipping was contrated for be-
fore thev opened for business last
March. But this company is by nc
means limited to one type or class OF
construction as is evidenced by local
custom work which they are turning
out and they are being deluged with
tentative orders and requests fol
quotations on specifications for cab
and bodies submitted by variou:
motor truck manufacturers which vii
require at least standardization o.
, their present capacity. The residen
managers, Messers Bixler and Freel
are certainly demonstrating more
than average ability as business
builders and the larger and better
they build for their business the
larger and better they build for Wau
seOn:
