HUDSON-EssEx OUTPUT GROWS
Reaches Largest Number Made OF
Popular Motor Cars.


The output of the Hudson Mo-
tor Car Company and Essex Motors
on June 20 reached the largest
number Of cars ever made by the
companies in their history in a
single day-3O5 Hudson and Essex
cars being produced in nine hours.
The largest previous single days
production was on April when
300 cars were turned out in 10
hours. and 20 minutes.
On the following day, with less
than six months of 1922 gone,
Hudson and Essex surpassed their
total 1921 production Of 27,143, ac-
cording to word just received from
the factory at Detroit by w. III.
Tatge Of the Abilene Tractor and
Truck Co., the local Hudson Essex
dealers.
Hudson and Essex are now out
to beat their output for their great
est year heretofore-1920." says
Mr.. Tatge. "They plan to do it by
early fall. Even after all records
are broken, officials inform me that
the companies big plant is certain
to continue heavy production be-
cause of the unprecedented demand
for Hudson and Essex cars-par-
ticularly the new Coach models.
Hudson and Essex have enjoyed
remarkable year to date. March
sales were greater than those for
any month since July 1890. April
exceeded March by a considerable
margin. Mays were the greatest
in the history of the two companies
and June totals, when compiled will
be found to be even higher. The
Dickinson county sales of these
popular cars has exceeded all anti
cipations and orders are coming in
steadily"

UNITED AMERICAN i.
 CR0SSCUT TO THE SOUTH IN 45 Fl.

The crosscut from the 500 level of the United American is now in 45 feet and is being driven with all pos sible speed. The contract calls for not less than 50 feet per week and the contractors do not propose to get un- der the footage. The contract calls for 300 feet to the southwest, which is ex- pected to take the work to the side lines of the claim.
 The vein that has been considered the best in the property by Jack Mc- Iver has never been cut and this work is being done to reach that vein. It is large and potential on the surface, but the striking of ore in the other vein distracted the attention of the management from this part of the mine, but recent developments again ,alled their attention to the possibili- ties of the other big vein and they are going out after it.

 The Mossback has a wonderful vein, but the reapre shooots were passed up in an effort to develop an immense body of lower grade material into a milling proposition. The high grade shoots are important and if develop ed would give the mine something that could be worked on for many years.

of the city expands. It does apply to other city dwelling houses for which such extravagant rents are now demanded. Remember that while the readjustment in industry is well along, the readjustment in real estate values has only begun.
 Some may ask why industry does not move to the country? Before many years have passed we probably shall see strong tendency in that direc- tion.' Many businesses can be carried min the country far more efficiently than in the city. This idea that all offices and factories must be located in the population centers is simply a notion handed down thru generations. In the old days industry was confined to the city and country was left for agriculture. That was before the age of modern transportation. Of course, it must continue true in the case of distributing houses. Wholesalers, job bers, merchants ,etc., who group to- gether acording to their industry in a certain part of the city greatly fa- cilitate buying.
 Manufacturers, however, find bet ter labor conditions, lower rents and better power in the country. Hence, I would not dispute the point with anyone that business eventually may tend toward, the suburban sites. For the present, however," concluded Mi. Babson, A''the main movement will be confiRed to the buying of country resi- dences. Those who are planning even- tually to own a country home should get busy at once, for every week you delaylis likely to cost you money"
