MaxlDelI Is Better
 Value Than In 'I8

At its last years price of $1155. the good Maxwell was considered a splendid value by motorists general ly.' says Charles Miller of the R. D. Roper company.
 When the first reduction of s160 was made last fall, this value became even more striking and the Maxwell was acknowledged to be an exceed ingly profitable investment.
 Not satisfied with this. however, the new and powerful organization worked toward a further reduction and have succeeded in taking another $150 from the price of the good Max well. making a total reduction of S3l0 in less than nine months.
 During this time, they have added many refinements and improvements. so that Maxwell. while selling at the 1918 price. Is far and away better automobile than it was in 1918.
 That the public is appreciative of its doubly increased value Is shown by the stimulation in sales through out the country"

 Heres another. This one ls blamed on 10 the New Jersey folk ft ls a bill to abolish all driving on Sunday and prevents the sale of gasoline on the Sabbath
 Up in Nassschusetts a legislator wants 10 put over s law 10 prohibit motorist repairing his car on Sum day and to close all garages and motor-suppiy houses
 Now what does all that mean. asks Manager Lannis. Tt means thar the legislator Is behind the times and doesn't want to see progress in Amer lea. or it means that he has a railroad ax 10 grind. or perhaps tt may mean that some erring mosor.st threw sand in his eyes as he was crossing some street the other day

"CR|CAGODAY'
 LIVERY WEEK 1T >sTUD[BAKER' s

-nicaEo Day. Is the latest inno- estion at the big Studebaker factory when manufactures the light six srs,euuepaker ss,,L models in South Bend. 1ne ioea has been engineered by deal ess n me Chicago territory, and is in tne nature of trip by delegations of .nese dealers on Wednesday of each Seek Tor the purpose of absorbing plenty Of factory enthusiasm Inci- uentally, each dealer drives away from the plant in q brand new light hlx intended for waiting customer.
 The first Chicago day" invasion was such a great success, with 7s dealers from small Wisconsin and illinois towns in the party. that it has been decided to make this plan per- manent. In each instance, the deal- CTS are chaperoned by the manager of tne Studebaker branch In Chicago. Many Of the dealers are also accom- panied by owners who drive their own new light sixes home from the factory.
 Perhaps the feature of greatest public interest brought out by these trips by the Chicago territory dealers IS that the rural districts are pros porous and purchasing automobiles in large numbers. and that the bankers in these districts are lending their support to the purchase of motor cars.
 Reports from these dealers are also to the effect that farmers are de- manding better motor cars than they were satisfied with in former years. They are becoming more interested in cars which, while light in weight, are of high quality and offer unusual value, in terms of better looks, easier riding qualities greater power and more all-round comfort and conven- icnce

Bernard Staley of this city has a
truffIe hound upon which con
noissuers here placed a valuation
OF s1,00O.000. The reason for
thfs high valuation is that he is

hound. mind you.
The pups name is William Jen-
nings Volstead, but he Is called
"Bone-dry" for short.
The other day "Bone-dry" dis
appeared for a short time. Later
the din of barking brought his
master to a stump in q Keighbor-
ing field The dog had unearthed
quart Jar filled with a very fine
moonshine 'flikker."

several gallons Of moonshine In a

90 Per Gent of Autos
Are Used Chiefly In
Conducting Business

Statistics which have been COM
piled recently by the ". A. c.. c.,
through a questionnaire sent to
thousands or automobile owners
scattered throughout the country,
show that 90 per cent of the au-
tomobiles running in the United
States are used chiefly for bust
ness purposes. That is, of the
eight million odd passenger cars
In America in 1920. 100000
were contributing economic value
as well as pleasure. The ques-
tionnaire also showed that in the
United States Ga per cent OF the
passenger mileage run by automo-
biles was for business purposes and
only SO per cent for recreation.
But there Is more important
lesson TO be learned from these
figures than this. II is that the
automobile. entirely aside from
convenience. social value or recre-
alton, actually pays for itself
many times over under the most
rigid test Of economic production
This came TO light when the ques-
tionnaire showed that the average
owner in America has increased
his earning capacity, which is
practically the same as his pro-
ductive power, by 56.7 per cent
through the use Of his car.
Let ms pause a moment to see
what this means. There were In
the United States in 1920 eight
million automobiles; this means
that these cars increased the pro-
ductive capacity of the United
States to the same extent that the
addition of four and a half mill
lion men would have done. There
were manufactured in 1920 ap-
proximately two million cars,
which viii have an average life
of more than five or six years.
This means that the years output
of automobiles win increase the
productive ability Of the country
something like l.100. 900 men dur
ing each Of those years. or give
US altogether added resources
amounting to well above five and
a half million work years.
The average price of the auto
mobiles manufactured In 1920 was
less than one thousand dollars
each. The average income in the
United States has recently been
figured by the United States bu-
reau Of labor at slightly more
than $500 for each wage earn-
er So II we figure that the In
creased capacity produced by au-
tomobiles had gone only to men
of average income-and IN fact Il |
wnt mostly to men we'll above the
average-it would be clear that
during the life OF the average car
il would produce for Ats owner /
something like $500 increased In
come. as against the $1,000 1t orig
lnally cost.
These figures have startled
many men, even those who
thought they had realized the val-
ne Of the automobile.

Oakland Adds

land Six closed models has been
enthusiastically received by our
dealers throughout the country

manager OF the Oakland Motor
Car company, Pontiac, Michigan.
I'm addition to cord tires and
wire wheels which we adopted as
stock equipment on Today's Oak
land Six sedans and coupes, we
have now added Gabriel snubbers
and metal visor for the wind
shieid."
Another recent innovation in
our manufacturing policy Is the
shoning' of cylinders. Every cyl
inder Is honed by q special process
until II is as smooth as glass. 1t
,is. in reality, the old hand honing
process adapted to a machine OPP
Grafton. A series OF honing stones
are mounted on the outside OF a.
cylindrical fixture and held
against the surface Of the CYL
inder by Individual springs. This
gives floating construction I'M
which the stones are in q flexible|
position so that they do not force
themselves roughly against the
cylinder wall. A smooth surfaeeI
is gained and the cylinder bore IS
held within very close limits.
