GOODYEAR MEN
PLEASED WITH
SALES RECORD

Il That the sales performance of the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company OF
California, which has jurisdiction over
Goodyear activities in twelve western
states with headquarters at Los An
geles, is measuring up fully to the
expectations of officials who were
responsible for the establishment of
the western company, is indicated un-
mistakably in the volume OF business
transacted during the first four
months of the company's present fis-
cal year.
During the four months beginning
| Nov. 1, 1919, which was the date OF
our official Inauguration as separate
organization" says A. F. Osterloh.
vice president and general manager
sour business in these twelve western
states has shown an increase OF %
per cent over the same period of the
preceding year. This showing is even
better than we had anticipated.
"The quota of the entire worldwide
Goodyear organization for the present
year is based on 4S per cent increase
over the volume of business transacted
last year. So our record OF 90 per
cent for the first four months, the
period of the year when we expect
our volume of bushes sto run lowest,
is source of qualification to us.
During this period we have been
busy perfecting our organization, IN
volving the assumption of many ac-
tivities that formerly were superln-
tended from Akron, Ohio. This has
now been accomplished and we anti
cipate that with the coming of the
spring season throughout the West,
our sales will be even greater than
during the period that has just closed.
"All the product now being sold by
the western Goodyear is, of course, be-
ing shipped to the West from Akron,
but with the completion of our SILL
OOO. 900 plant in Los Angeles, now be-
ing erected on the famous Ascot Park
tract, we will be able to supply tires
and tubes to all western trade direct
from our Los Angeles factory.
We can then ship to our eighteen
branches throughout the twelve west
ern states in much less time than is
now possible from Akron.
"Work on our factory is progressing
as rapidly as 1000 men can fashion the
numerous building materials into a
great rubber manufacturing plant. AS
leach floor of the three units that
compose the project is finished the re-
auired machinery is being installed, SO
that within a short time of the actual
'completion of the buildings, the plant
will be ready for operation. The pres
ent rate of progress indicates that we
will be able to commence operations
soon after June /, as originally
planned.

THE CARE OF A CAR

"The care of an automobile is

the right way" says Purl Wells. 10.
cal dealer in Chevrolet passenger and
commercial. cars.
"Motor car trouble usually results
from putting off adjustments that
should be regularly attended to. In
most cases the cause can be traced
to the carelessness of the owner and
could easily have been prevented.
"Proper care begins with the pur-
chase. A car should be chosen whose
weight is SO nicely balanced that
there is no undue strain on any vital
part. The materials should be light
but strong. Springs should have
ample play to protect all mechanical
units from the shock of the road.
"Above all itjs important that the
motor has ample power to move any
load that may be put in the body
and to take it wherever necessary.
"Such car as this is easy to take

GREAT STAMINA IN JORDAN

"Refnements in design which made
for greater durability are found in
the Continental model 7R six cylinder
engine" said p. +. Echols, manager of
the Jordan agency today. "The s.
passenger Jordan Silhouette only
weighs 280O pounds, and the en-
CINE which has IA by Az inch
cylinders, is heavier than previous
models of this size, but the tremen-.
dous stamina offsets any additional
weight and the ratio of power to
weight is remarkably low, for with
weight of SIS lbs. the engine de-
velops 55 horsepower, or almost Ia
of horsepower for each cubic inch
piston displacement. The crankshaft
is of unusually heavy design having
diameter of 2 IA inches and is car
ried on four large bearings. If one
compares this motor with any other
of like dimensions. unquestionably
the honor goes to the Continental 7R
making the Jordan a more than ex-
elusive example of the automobile
producers art"

DEMAND CONTINUES TO GROW

According to information received
by Manager C. D. Otleson of Edgar
Bros. Ford Service, from the home
office of the Ford Motor Co.. Detroit,
their untitled orders are continually
increasing and have long since ceased
to be reckoned by the thousands but
are now a matter of hundreds Of
thousands, and the present demand is
not being met.
Already Ford dealers in those states
where winter brings a slight decline
in the number of sales are advising
prospective spring purchasers to buy
now. Nothing but real orders will
bring these cars to their territory.
Southern dealers and the foreign de-
mands will otherwise consume the
entire output.
Imperial Valley is feeling this short
age acutely now, and could use many
more of the "Universal Car"sif they
were to be had. The new starter is
making the Ford more popular than
ever. fts
