STUDEBAKER PLANT
HAS "CHICAGO DAY"

Chicago Day" is the latest inno-
walton at the big Studebaker fac
tory which manufactures the Light
Six Studebaker models in South
Bend. The idea has been engineered
by dealers in the Chicago territory
and is in the nature of trip by del
egations of these dealers on Wednes-
day of each week for the purpose of
absorbing plenty of factory enthu-
siasm. Incidentally. each dealer
drives away from the plant in a
brand-new Light-Six intended for a
waiting customer.
The first Chicago Day" invasion
was such a great success, with sew
enty- weight dealers from small Wis
consin and Illinois towns in the
party, that it has been decided TO
make this plan permanent In each
instance the dealers are chaperoned
by the manager of the Studebaker
branch in Chicago. Many of the
dealers are also accompanied by
owners who drive their own new
Light-Sixes home from the factory.

a. Haynes production established a
new high record last week when 1t

year. according to an announcement

mand for the Haynes Fifty and the
other Haynes models" stated Mr..
seiberling. until now we find that
yesterdays production is just double
that of the best day of last year
and the year before. So rapidly has
the demand for Haynes cars devel-
oped that our dealers from all sec
lions are calling for shipments in

GOOD FUTURE SEEN
FOR MOTORCYCLE
Many New Fields Found
Where Machine Proves
Valuable.

Considerable optimism is express
ed for the outlook Of the motorcycle
industry in a statement made by the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company,
who announce the addition Of J. Il.
Appleby. tire and rubber expert. to
their force OF special motorcycle tire
representatives.
Motorcycle registration continues
to climb" this announcement says,
and a recent research finds the mo-
torcycle in fields Of service never be-
fore utilized. Caterers. for instance,
are using the motorcycle and side
car for delivering hot meals. Hos
pitfalls give speedy frst-aid service
with them. while the fast two-wheel-
ers are found in greatly Increased
numbers operating for messenger
and telegraph companies. store de-

Mr.. Appleby has been with the
Firestone Company many years
much of his time being devoted 70
the St. Louis and Kansas City dis
tricts. Naturally he has gained a
wide circle of business acquaint-
ances, who will welcome his promo
ton as being well merited.
The announcement also reports a
trip East by C T. Wood, Firestone
cycle tire representative, with head
quarters on the Pacific Coast Mr..
Wood is making an extended visit
for the purpose OF carrying back

expresses himself as well pleased

PLACES BLAME
FOR AUTO THEFTS
Laxity of Insurance Firms
Blamed for Increase of
Losses.

Laxity of insurance companies
in writing automobile FIRE and
theft policies in excess of values
and for anybody without regard
to moral hazard. is one of the real
causes for the automobile theft
situation of today. according to ].
S. Marvin, assistant general man
ager of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce.
This contention was brought out
in a discussion on locks and in
Identification marks before the Met
ropolitan section. society of auto
motive engineers, at a recent meet

to combat prevailing conditions,

Several weeks ago, Lininger visited
the factory to obtain immediate

rush OF orders prevented the fac

quest. and the Washington distribu-

In commenting on the big order,
Phelps said: Even in the race for
constantly increasing production,

more than double the highest prev
