GROUND BROKEN. r OR DURAN T'S. OAKLAND PLAN I

Saturday. November 18th. marked an important development in the af- fairs of the Durant Motor Company of California. With nearly ten thousand persons present, many of them stockholders, ground was bro- ken for the new factory in Oakland
 R. c. Durant, president of the com pany, who recently returned from a visit through the eastern factories of the Durant interests, found that the stock of his company has sold so rapidly during the few months that it has been on the market that the treasurer of the company now has on hand more than enough surplus cash to start the factory immediately and push its construction through to an early completion.
 Durant says that his intention from the inception of his company has been not to start construction on the Oakland factory until he saw in the bank sufficient capital to push his plans through to an early finish, and furthermore he was unwilling to start construction until he had guaranteed from the eastern factories sufficient
 car shipments to assure that his present organization would be self supporting and making a profit. He did not want to start the factory merely to accelerate the sales of the company and to support from the in- vestors' principal an idle organiza- ton. While he was east he negoti- ated satisfactory deliveries from the Long Island and Lansing plans so | that beginning this month 300 cars will come through with increased ! shipments each month until his full quota of 1000 cars per month will be | shipped within ninety days. He says 1 this supply will take care of the
 pressing demand for his product on
 the coast until the new factory is ir
 readiness, which will be early in the
 spring
 Durant says that the cars bearing
 his name have enjoyed the most as- l founding sales record ever stacked up by an automobile company. and tC substantiate his statement brought back with him a statement signed and sworn to by M. B. Leahy, sale. manager of the New York subsidiary which sets forth that since the frs Durant car was put on display 1T New York August 4th to Novembel 1st. in the New York territory alon' s31, ,000, 100000 in Durant automobile has been contracted for with bona fide deposits, with the amazingly low

Any battery which is to remain out of use for six weeks or two months should be taken to a service station and placed in winter storage" Mir. A. s. Earnhart of the Battery Service company. of the local Prest- O-Lite service station pointed out recently.
 An idle battery deteriorates. To be a bit technical for a minute, the specific gravity of the electrolyte in Q battery may drop from 1900 (fully charged) to 1900 between one-quar- ter and one-half charged), in abou. eight weeks.
 When a battery is in constant use there exists a state of balance be- tween the amount of energy taken out of the battery in daily work and the amount returned to it by the generator. The self discharge of an idle battery. however. destroys this balance, and after state of idleness a battery will be under a continual handicap unless it is brought around to a service station for fresheninS charge before starting again"

 The remarkably high quality at tained in the Oldsmobile motors is in some considerable part due to the character of workmanship employed in it's building. The standard by which mechanics are selected for employment require unusual skill and experience. Many Olds operators have been employed in the building of engines ever since they came into use.
