The fashionable galoshes that are
now Tapping about the ankles of
pretty girls were first introduced in
America about 1880 In Boston. The
galoshes or boots were as ugly and
clumsy as they are today. but were
even more popular. They required
peculiar care. as the manufacturers
had little knowledge Of the use. of
rubber gum. In winter they froze
hard and stiff. and had to be thawed
out before they could be worn, and
care had to be taken not to .thaw
them too well, or they would run into
a sticky mass. In the summer they
got sticky and shapeless unless kept

the recent period of imitation conducted
their business along sound and conserva-
tive lines, who, while taking advantage
of the present, did not fail to keep a
weather eye open toward the future, are
now going along in first class shape, and
as the spring buying season opens up
will be further rewarded by substantial
profits for their good merchandising in
the past.
"These are the men who did not sit
ok on the job, who did not reduce their
sales and advertising efforts, but who
kept their market always away ahead Of
them.
"These are the men who did not take
all their profits out of their businesses,
either for personal expenses or for
numerous other business enterprises. and
so consequently spread out their re-
sources in such a way that when they
were needed they were not available.
II am happy to say that the big Nash
organization of more than 1.SOO dis
tributers and dealers throughout the
country has more than justified the con-
fldence which we at the factory Ave
always had in it and has proved that
the care which has been exercised in
selecting each individual unit has been
well worth while
Every indication points to an easier
market during the coming spring and
summer and the good business men who
compose the Nash selling organization,
as we'll as others throughout the indus
try seem certain to be well rewarded
for their careful and aggressive efforts
during the past"

SOUND ADVICE
FOR THE DEALER
G. B. Voorhis Points Way for
Establishment of SOunder
Organization.

Those automobile distributors and
dealers who have adhered to conserva-
tive business methods during the last
few years are now coming into their re-
ward" says c. B. Voorhis. vice-presi-
dent and general sales manager of the
Nash Motors Company.
"The preparation these wise merchan-
their businesses along safe lines is bear
ing fruit now in this period of defiation
through which the bushes fabric of the
country is passing.
"Once again the wisdom of prepared
ness and the good judgment Of looking
ahead in times of plenty to those days
which may lie ahead is being vindi-
Gated
Those who are familiar with the hap
penings in the automotive industry will
realize at once just what l mean and
how the real strength and weaknesses of
the great automotive selling organiza-
tions are being made impressively plain.
These selling organizations have just
passed through period of preparation
and training which should have fitted
competitive market and enabled them
to come through with flying colors.
This period of preparation to which
refer was the big buying market which
has existed for the last few years and
which continued up until a few months
ago.
Business was so abundant and so
easily had, comparatively speaking, that
every automobile dealer and distributor
has had ample opportunity to get ready
financially and in every other way for
the time which all should have fore
seen when real business acumen and
salesmanship alone would keep their en-
terprises showing comfortable balances
on the right side of the ledger.
This time, is now upon us While
there Is a market for products of proved
value to-day and one that is improving.

MAXWELL CHALMERS EXPANDS
Company Adds New Pressed Steel
Plant to Equipment.

"The completion of the new Maxwell
Chalmers pressed steel plant, which is
now about ready for manufacturing ac-
tivity gives us one of the most efficient
and progressive outfits Of it's kind in the
country" says w. Ledyard Mitchell.
president of the Maxwell and the Chal-
mers companies.
THE new plant covers about $4,000
square feet of floor space and will
take care Of all the pressed steel work
for both Maxwell and Chalmers cars
The main building contains two
craneways. each with a double row of
presses 800 feet long. and each equipped
across its entire span of 60 feet with a
crane which is capable of picking up
material, work, or even the presses
themselves, and moving them to any
otker part Of the building.
THE presses are so placed that the
steel passes from one to another without
the need of extra men to act as go be-
tweens. thus cutting down the time re-
quired as well as the number of men.
Another feature of the new plant Is
the immediate inspection of work. In
stead of making a large quantity of
pieces in one place and then sending
them to another part of the factory for
inspection. they receive this inspection
during operations.
