From a small company, capitalized at q few thousand dollars to sS,O0O,- GOO corporation in less than 10 years"
 This will probably sound to some as a suitable statement for q specula- tive advertisement. Instead of reveal ing remarkable record that has been established by a concern in the auto mobile equipment field, especially when 1t IS added that it is responsible for the manufacture of new product the Cooper storage battery, that has in a year trebled its sales, and also that this c@nlan% in less than 10 years is conceded to be one of the largest, if not the largest, distributors of auto mobile tires and accessories, in the united states of America" states . H. Lusk, manager of the Birming- ham Cooper branch
 t "Thc concern is the l. J. Cooper Rubber company, now part of the Cooper corporation. This company has just recently opened branch at At lanta, as we'll as Louisville, and Bir- m:ngham.
 ''The business of the l. J. Cooper Rubber company, operating stores in l2 cities, got its humble beginning in a small store in Cincinnati September, 1911, with tires and tire sundries as it's only distributing products. Due to It's policy of dealer cooperation and the quality of it's merchandise, the business expanded to such dimensions that additional stores were opened in Dayton, Columbus and IndianapoI.s About the same time it was decided to add a complete line of automotive equipment. In January, 1919, branches were opened in Cleveland Memphis. Knoxville and Nashville, thus enabling tne company to serve more efficiently

the business that has been built up around these points.
 Tn 1917 new product was added to the line--storage batteries and battery parts. H. H. Brenner general sales manager, was of the opinion that a battery business could be developed to equal if not rival, the tremendous tire business that has been built up by the company. A battery was se- lected, connections were, made with the manufacturers, and an intensive bat tery sales campaign launched by Mir Brenner. Within two years the manu- facturer was unable to supply the de- mand and 1t was determined to pro- vide for certain source of supply.
 Accordingly, company was incor- porated under the name of the Cooper Storage Battery Manufacturing com pany in August, 1919. The site for the factory was selected, machinery

MAXWELL-C -CHALM ARE
 NOW ON A NEW BASIS

The significance of Walter P. -Chrys ler's statement regarding the completion of the Maxwell-Chalmers reorganization issued during the New York automobile show is apparent to everyone directly or indirectly connected with the motor car industry.
 Mir. Chrysler, as chairman of the re- organization committee, issued the fol- lowing signed statement: "The reorgan- zation plan of the Maxwell-Chalmers Motor company, as originally formulated has been declared operative. This as- sures an additional $150O0.00O and a DOW erful management.

In less than Syeai the sales for the Cooper battery reached such proportions that additional bu4i ings were required, doubling the space and equipment for production. One entire building. which has just been completed, will be given over entirely to the manufacture of battery parts for all makes of batteries
 The factory, starting with a ca pacity of ? batteries. now has faci.- ities for manufacturing 500 batteries day. At the present tiene over 1000 service stations represent the Cooper storage battery in the territory con trolled by the l. ]. Cooper Rubber company
 In April, 1920, a corporation known as the Cooper corporation was formed to the consolidation of the l. J. Cooper Rubber company, the Cooper Storage Battery Manufacturing company and the Giant Tire and Rubber company. the last mentioned concern being man ufacturers of rubber products such as reliners, tire repair kits and patches
 The reason for the merging of these companies was that it would insure the control of reliable sources of supply Of such important lines as storage bat teries, reliners, tire accessories and would result in material economy in general and administrative expense
 The sales budget for the Cooper corporation for the year 1921 has been fixed at $12000, 900. an increase of ap- proximately 20 per cent over the amount of business done last year. This amount, of course, includes the combined sales of tires, rubber prod ucts, storage batteries, automobi-a supplies and garage equipment The success of this mammoth organiza~ tion can be attributed to the far-sight- ed merchandising principles of it's president.

Gin Murphy, despite the fact that
she had nine other heirs, including
her husband, has been upheld by the
Georgia supreme court. The plain
tiffs in the case set. up the contention
that Mrs. Murphy's mind had been
weakened by age and i'll health and
that she was not herself when she
dictated the will. 1t was also claim
ed that there was no reason for the
eight other children and the husband
to be shut off without a penny
The jury was out only a short time
before returning a verdict ordering
the will SCI aside and the property
of the deceased divided equally
among all of her heirs. Gin Murphy
appealed to the supreme court.
The property involved is valued at
about $4,000 and consists chiefly
of farm lands in Colquitt county.
