9 ACRES OF LAND
TOLANSINC, Mich.
Olds Concern Turns Over
Big Tract to Aid
Growth of City.

In order to facilitate the growth
of the city of Lansing. Mich, the
Olds Motor Works has given the
municipality nine acres OF ground
in the heart of the muse desirable
section OF the city. valued at bore
than $4,000.
This land was turned over to tha
officials by A. b. c. Harry. president
and general manager of the COM
pany. in order that Lansing might
erect a suitable power plant for the
use OF the public.
The nine acres of ground are sit
uated along the Grand River, across
the street from a public park and in
the midst Of a terminus of the Grand
Trunk Railroad and in the heart Of
the industrial and water front Sec
tions.
The city officials sought for
months to obtain desirable loca-
tion for the power plant and finally
came to the conclusion that the land
owned by the Olds company was by
far the best site. They attempted to
purchase the land from the automo-
bile company, but were told that to
facilitate the growth of the city It
would be given them.

In units of production. among ap-

The Gardner Motor Company

of which $4,000 were trucks. This
is 20 per cent more than July and
only $4,000 less than June, the big

Transportation Increasing.
Our reports show an increasing
use of motor vehicles over the
highways. not alone in the use Of
passenger cars but trucks and mo-
tor busses.
over half a million persons mo-
tor camped in our national parks
during the past year.
Motor bus lines are now run

There are 10000 consolidated
schools in the United States. ac-

There are still $4,000 rural schools

PRESENT AUTOMOBILE DEMAND

on other industries by the fact that
e2 per cent of the aluminium sup
ply. 4 per cent Of the annual pro-
duction of iron and steel. 20 per
cent OF Tin. Is per cent of the cop.
per output and 80 per cent OF plate
glass manufacture are used in the
making of motor cars and motor
trucks.
This effect Of the public demand
for increased modern transporta-
tion naturally is very prompt
stimulus to the business of those
factories making parts and acces-
sories. Sales for the past four
months have been the largest for
any similar period on record, due
to the keen competition on the part
of manufacturers. each endeavor-
ing to get a large amount of busi-
ness by giving the most value for
the money. In fact, more value
for the money is being given today
in motor vehicles than any pre-
vious time in the business.
This is reflected in the accessory
market by the increase in the
equipment and appointments sup
piled with the finished product and
the creation of a public desire to
get the last word in motor i'm
provement.

This years production should
exceed 1900. 900 cars and trucks. l
believe il is safe to say that next

10 per cent are trucks. but the

Aside from the fact that the

which are being manufactured.
The man who buys a low price car

Cars Pay for Themselves.
AN important assurance Of the
future of the automobile business
lies In the fact that cars and trucks
in the main are creators of wealth.
1t was readily recognized from al
most the beginning that railroads
were builders of empires. but the
editorial minds were slower to real
ize that motor cars and motor
trucks. developing the country in
tensiveIy. are also productive Of
economic value. The industry It.
self was partially responsible for
this lack of apprehension because
in its advertisements II stressed
the recreation feature. a desirable
element. but one which could not
alone explain the continued in
crease in motor transportation.
But recently even as critical q
mind as that of Roger w. Babson
has pointed out that thousands of
persons have been buying motor
cars and moving into the suburbs
A survey of the various real estate
boards by the N. A. c. c.. developed
the fact that around sixty cities in
the country there are over 1876. 900
suburban homes depending chiefly
on the motor car and motor truck
for transportation. This release Of
housing pressure in the cities and
the settling OF families on less ex-
pensive land gives promise of lower
rentals. a prediction In which many
leading economists of the day con-

Cars ON the Farm.
There are about 100000 farm
ers IN the country owning cars TO-

transportation increased the aver
ace farmers efficiency by 6s per
cent. In olden times it used to be
said that the farmers could not af-
ford the number of horses which
they were using. but still less could
they AFFORD to be without them.
The same applied to power machin-
cry including motor transportation
today.
With these two important points
of increased efficiency for the out
door worker and lower rentals for
the city man accomplished through
use of the car and truck. there ap-
