SALES
JUST BEGINNING

That the record breaking increases
in its automobile sales for the first
quarter are only paving the way for
even better Hupmobile months 10
come is the firm opinion of o. G.
Hutchinson. general sales manager
of the Hupp Motor Car corporation,
of Detroit, after travelling over most
of the United states during the last
two months.
Mr.. Hutchinson bases his conclu-
sions he explains. strictly on the at
titude of the dealers whom he has
interviewed while out in the field.
"Everywhere, he says. Il found
evidence in completed sales which
positively clinch my conclusion that
1922 will be the greatest selling year
in our history.
without a single exception, our
distributors have increased tlHsir re-
quirements for this year at least one
hundred per cent over last year.
And the way the cars sold dur
ing the first three months fully es-
tablishes their wisdom in doing so.
Atlanta, for example. where the
cotton Mutation is still far from be-
ing all that could normally be de-
sired, shows 271 per cent increase
over last year and the dealers and
distributors are calling for more cars.
Fort Worth. Texas, climbed UP
,230 per cent over its figures for the
same period for 1921.
up in Boston the increase was
not less than 257 per cent; Kansas
City came through with 23S per cent
growth in sales, and San Francisco
already promises to exceed its first
quarters increase OF 275 per cent,
In fact. San Francisco and ST.
Louis tied for the highest percentage
OF increased Hupmobile sales.
"Chicago. Cincinnati, Dallas, De-
troit. Harrisburg, Los Angeles, Min
neapolis and New York all revealed
increases well over the 100 per cent
mark.
Such situation cannot be a mere
flash in the pan. There has been
no sudden release of money on such
a gigantic scale as to warrant any
such expenditure as this for automo-
biles. even on an eXtravagant basis.
'Neither has there sbeen any in
flated boom of prosperity to warrant
reckless buying

Charles ]. Walsh of the Swinehart
Tire ana Rubber company of Akron,
Ohio, who is in charge of the Pacific
coast territory. including Arizona,
was a visitor in Phoenix last week.
Ed Rudolph is local distributor of the
Swinehart tires.
Mr. Walsh brought encouraging re-
ports concerning the business awak-
ening up anu down the coast and in
Arizona He states that Northern
California, in particular, is showing
much speed, and that Arizona in the
eyes of the coast folk, is staging a
strong comeback.
81 am amazed at the wonderful
roads you have here" declared Mr..
Walsh I'VE had tires running in the
road tests at Pittsburg, Calf, and
while thers had an opportunity OF
studying the various types of roads
at close hand. The Arizona type,
which you have and are using now
was the onsy type that successfully
withstood the hard tests imposed upon
the concrete roads. You can be proud
of this in view of the fact that Cali
fornia has been building roads many
more years than Arizona. l can see
nothing but the brightest future be-
fore this state and the Salt River

A special machine for building ra-
diator cores has been invented by
p. x. Topale. proprietor of the Ari-
zona Radiator works. The new ma
chine, shown in the picture, is ca
pable of turning out 5000 feet Of fin
ished product per day. The machine
is entireB automatic.
Three operations are all that is
necessary. One operation accom-
plishes the rolling. the second does
the die stamping and the third cuts
of the metal to the desired length.
The styles of cores include spe-
cial type for touring cars and one
for trucks, tractors, etc. Arizona
copper is used exclusively in the
cores and they are designed and built
TO especially withstand the heat Of
Arizona summers.
Mr.. Topale has had II years of
radiator experience, ten of which have
been in Arizona. He asserts that
without question the new cores are
without a peer on the market.

WINS
DEWAR TROPHY
BACK IN 1908

A letter was recently received by
Larry Quinian. district manager of
Babbitt Brothers, from friend in
Northern Arizona. asking when the
Cadillac Motor car won the Dcwar
Trophy and just what was the De-
war Trophy.
Mr.. Quinlan's reply brings to light
some very interesting and significant
facts connected with this event.
1t was in 1908 that the American
machine invaded England to COM
pete for that motor classic. The
trophy was donated by Sir Thomas
r. Dewar. M. p. TO be awarded each
year by the Royal Automobile Club
of London. England, to the motor car
which should successfully complete
the most meritorious performance or
test furthering the interests and ad-
vancement of the industry.
Cadillac Won on Standardization
A committee of mechanical experts
appointed by the club selected three
Cadillac cars. These were driven for
IS miles, then they were entirely dis
mantled, even to removing every nut,
bolt and screw, and the parts We're
mixed in a conglomerate heap. To
add to the severity of the test, SO
parts in which extreme accuracy was
most essential, were discarded and
locked up at the Club house. Dupli-
Gates were taken from the stock OF
spares and mixed indiscriminately
with the others. The three cars
were then rebuilt into perfect run
ming condition from the haphazard
heap = wrenches and screw drivers
being the only tools necessary.
That Performance Won the Cup

trophy away from European COM
petitors, this time for its all-around

PACKARD s SALES
FOR APRIL MORE
THAN SB,5O0,0DD

As an indication of the activity
now prevailing in the motor car in
dustry, Packard Motor Car COM
panys sales for April were in excess
of S6, 600, or more than half the
company's total business for the first
six months of its fiscal year begin
ming September last
Although sales of Twin Skies and
trucks showed marked improvement,
the greatest activity centered about
the company's new Single Six model.
Sales of Single Skies during April
were in excess of 200 cars, most of
these being the new model which was
first shown April 90. Four days after
this car was announced it's sales at
retail amounted to over SO. 100000.
According 10 President Alvan Ma
cauley, the purchasing power of the
public for automobiles is much
greater tha nwa sgenerally believed
a few months ago. Says Mr.. Ma
cauley: "A survey of the conditions
now prevailing among automobile
manufacturers in Detroit and else
where indicates that the tide of busi-
ness is much stronger than any one
anticipated. Some of the factories.
in spite of largely increased working
forces, viii experience difficulty in
producing enough cars to fill the or
ders now coming in. This is true of
the Packard company.
Two months ago the increased de-
mand for cars appeared to be only
a seasonal upturn, which would soon
be over. and preparations were made
accordingly. but now it is apparent
that better known concerns at least
have entered into period of sus-
tanned activity.

Try to put it out. If you can't get word
of it TO the nearest u. S. forest rang
ef or state fire warden at once. Keep
IN touch with the rangers.
Automobile camping parties are
warned tat bonfires are no longer
permitted. This does not refer to the
small camp tires for the purpose of
cooking or warmth Large fires for
the pllEpose of celebration. however,
are forbidden.
All campers must obtain from the
fofest rangers. camp fire permits be-
fore building a fire for any purpose

No charge is made for issuing per-

for automobile campers to comply
with this regulation.

NOT
EFFICIENT AS
FLUSHING OIL

Kerosene used to be good stand
by on which motorists depended for
cleaning their engines.
Now come oil engineers with the
declaration that kerosene causes a
loss of 18 per cent of the total lu-
bricating capacity of an automobile.
SO. instead Of using kerosene to
flush out the crank case, those who
have studied this phase of motoring
say the drained case should be
cleaned with fresh engine oil.
More Economical
That costs more money, and
arouses a bit of suspicion, when it is
known that this advice comes from
the oil companies. But their engi-
.neers have the figures to prove that.
in the long run, the new method IS
the more economical.
Engines that have any form OF
splash fabrication have oil troughs
and pockets in which part of the
kerosene used for flushing is sure
to remain. IN some cars, say the
oil engineers, the kerosene retained
in this way represents is per cent
of the total lubricating capacity of
the car.
1t is safer. therefore, to use the
regular kind of engine oil. The crank
case should be drained about every
1000 miles in summer. and every 500
miles in winter Every time the
change is made, the case should be
flushed with engine oil instead OF
kerosene.
No waste
The oil used for this purpose can
be put to other lubricating uses.
Regular cleaning OF the crank case cas-
means longer life for the engine. The
carbon that accumulates there IN
seasons run is enough to wear down
the bearings, pistons and clinder
walls in a short time.

A fuller sense of motor car enjoy

They are, therefore. directly related,
