SALES ARE
INDEX OF BOOM

Improvement in the automotiye
industry Is now matter Of recorded
fact rather than of hope or prophesy.
The facts are In the nature of cars
already sold at retail since the new
year opened and cars ordered from
the factory by dealers for distribu-
ton during the next few months.
'In our own business. March Of
this year will be at least so per cent
better than Marcn of 1921" says
Harry NJ. Jewett, president Of the
Paige Detroit Motor Car Company.
Orders are already booked far
enough ahead so that we can also
determine with reasonable accuracy
what our first six months period is
going to be. From January first to
June 30. we will show an increase Of
approximately 95 per cent over the
same period of last year, in number
of cars manufactured and sold.
"This Improvement is particularly
noticeable in the eastern states. New
York territory showing for March an
advance of so per cent over the same
month last year, and this increasing
activity is rapidly spreading west
ward"

MAXWELL PLOWS
THROUGH SNOW
AND ''DOBY' CLAY

TT is fact that the goodness of
the new Maxwell is so apparent that
an unprejudiced person cannot but
realize that master minds designed
1t and master hands built it. AS
result the purchasing public are pur-
chasing the new series Good Max
well in greater numbers each day and
their judgment is being shown in the
very fine performance records of the
car itself" states Charlie Miller. of
the r. d. Roper Company
Leon Whitney, the Arizona rep
resentative of Brunswick Bake Col
lendar purchased a new series Max
we'll about 10 days ago and started
on his first statewide trip last Mon
day just as the snow storm and bliz-
zard was at it's worst in northern
Arizona and he went north. He was
warned at different places between
Phoenix and Prescott to turn back.
that the road was impossible. that
many cars were mired down between
Cordes and Mayer in the dobe mud
that had been plowed up In the pro-
cess OF road building and that water
was to deep to cross. In spite of
these warnings Whitney continued
on his journey and as TO his success.
let us read excerpts from a letter to
Mrs. Whitney written the following
day. He writes the mud was deep,
deeper than I had ever seen and
stickier, and it was not deep enough
to stick the good Maxwell. At times
the car was buried in mud and water
and snow two or three inches above
the running boards, but 1t plowed
through without the slightest diff
Guilty where nearly every other make
of car had ever know was stuck.
The last few miles through a blind
ing snow storm with about IL inches
Of snow on the level. AS to car per-
formance | really believe that drove
the only car that day that could have
made the journey and il there was
ever the slightest doubt about the
Maxwell it is forever washed away
now. On reaching Prescott no one
could have told the kind Of car /
was driving because it was so COM
pletely covered with mud.
I'm justice to Northern Arizona
and its weather conditions it is only
fair to state the storm has long since
cleared up and while roads are still
rough in some sections. they are now
perfectly passable again and the
snow is melted except on the high
mountains"
Arizona republican., 1922-03-19

Every now and then manufacturers
in the automotiye field, through long
research and experiment, perfect a
product that is revolutionary in its
form and that sets a new standard
for the making of like products.
The latest conner is the Western
Giant Cord" tire which is being man
ufactured under the name of the
Western Auto Supply company.
In perfecting the western Giant"
the radical departure from the usual
form Of construction is made in the
design and construction of the tread.
Tire manufacturers claim that. while
a durable and soundly constructed
carcass is the necessary foundation
of good tire, the tread itself has in
its design and general construction
that which makes for long mileage,
traction and freedom from skidding.
1t seems that in the Western
Giant" tread the manufacturers have
covered all points effectively. In
addition to having the most expensive
type of carcass, the tread, which is
flat surfaced and very thick. is built
right up on top; therefore. when the
tread is worn out, nearly all the rub
Der is placed where it is needed and
where it will be used.
The wide, flat surface of the tread
with its scientifically placed blocks
and buttresses, according to tire en-
gineers, is the assurance of perfect
traction.
AS will be noticed in the picture re-
produced here, there is a row of vac
uum cups down center of tread.
These, together with high -tapering
bars at side, form non-sl1id contact
which holds securely TO slippery pave
ments and renders use of skid chains
unnecessary.
In connection with the introduc-
tion of this new tire, George Pepper
dine, president of Western Auto"
said:
I'VE have been selling tires for a
good many years, and at the same
time studying tires. and when We de-
cided upon the design and form of
construction of Western Giant tires,
it was from our experience and
knowledge of what motorists want
and need in a tire.
"This tire is made with our own
molds and according to the very best
standards Of construction by two Of
the best equipped tire factories in the
United States, who are striving to
produce the immense quantity neces-
sary to supply the demand occasioned
through the 40 Western Auto
stores.
"There are two policies in the
manufacture and merchandising OF
any article. One is to figure what
people will pay for it and then do
the best for that price; the other is to
build the utmost of quality, strength
and service into the product and then
sell it for the lowest possible price,

FILM STAR, WITH.
1910 FRANKLIN,
|NVADES MEXICO.

Hal Craig, motion picture star of
Hollywood. stopped in Phoenix last
week enroute to Mexico, where he
will prospect along the Sonora river
Craig's method of transport for him
self and equipment was a 1910
Franklin. This old veteran had al
ready seen about so. 900 miles of SER
vice but she sounded like a new car.
The luggage and equipment COM
pletely covered the old warhorse,
only the barrel-shaped hood sticking
out in the sunlight being visable to
the naked eye.
Craig left Phoenix last Sunday
evening for Hermosillo, Mexico, and
from that point will work his way by
motor car up to the head waters OF
the Sonora River, a distance of some
800 miles So far as he knows he is
the only white man to make a
thorough investigation Of that terri
tory, having been here last year on
similar trip, but on horseback. He
states that no motor car has ever
attempted such a juorney. In one
stretch Of 35 miles, my car will be
forced to cross the Sonora River a
total of 27 times" he stated.
That this is some feat in itself is
shown by the fact that the river car
ries about three feet OF water most
OF the time, the bottom being rocky
and the span about 200 feet How
ever. the Franklin was sealed in with
sheet iron to ward OFF the water and
kept il out OF the motor.
Craig stated that he did not ex
perience the slightest trouble in his
drive over to Phoenix from the
Coast. He declared that he passed
everything coming In this direction
ana that he had no fears as to his
old Franlxilin's ability to get him
safely to and from his destination.

will arrive in Phoenix some time this
week, according to Julian Holmes,
OF the H. & II. Motor company. The
entire shipment, practically. will be

Western Giant cord tires. l. NJ

CLUBS MUST WORK AFFIDAVIT IS OUT
BedeH Shortage Statement Is
Made Public Today.
Four Months without Action on
Part of State.

Frank H. Foster, state bank COM
missioner, has made public the affi-
davit of Harry w. Beden of Kansas
City in which he admitted that an
of $4,700 in the receivership of the
Banking Trust company. The affida-
Wit was made January 10. Bedell was
removed. But until Thursday no di-
rect action was taken looking toward
criminal prosecution.
Commissioner Foster has revised
his first statements regarding the
matter. He first stated that he did
not know of Bedelrs affidavit at the
time he was removed and J. P. Angle
Foster stated that the affidavit was
called to his attention the day it was
made and that he Immediately dis
placed the receiver. Until Thursday.
tho, no prosecution was directed.
From a conversation which I have
had with Mr.. Bowman" said Com
missioner Foster, 'I recall that 1 was
in Kansas City, Mo, the day the Be
dell affidavit was made. Mr.. Bow
man called me to the Kansas side,
diately removed BedeIl."
&. s. Bowman, whom Commissioner
roster mentions, was sent by him to
check up the receivers work. Bow
man is a state bank examiner and he
swore to the complaint against BedeIl.
The charge of embezzlement is based
on both the affidavit and statements
which the former receiver is declared
to have made to Bowman last winter.
For four and half months the affi-
davit was in the files of the state de-
partment without action being taken
When questioned regarding the matter
Thursday Commissioner Foster stated
that he did not know of the document
until sometime after it was made.

The Bedell affidavit was made when
he was confronted with records of the
examination which showed the alleged
shortage in his accounts. Following is

IT WILL CONTINUE

Not Sufficient Grounds at Pres

The investigation of the office of
Mayor H. J. Corwine by the state will
continue. but the case of C. A. Swal-
low, former chief of police, is closed so
was stated today by Attorney General
Hopkins.
Hopkins made it plain that at pres

cient grounds on which to base an ous-
ter suit against the mayor, and that
such a suit will not be brought unless
there is sufficient evidence upon which
to base it. He did express the opinion.

known of certain facts to which he
pleaded ignorance when questioned by
the attorney general.
Was Very Observation-Disclosures.
The action Of the city attorney and
mayor in exonerating Swallow from
blame in connection with the condi-
ton of the police department was char
acterized by Hopkins as very anus
ing to US, who were in possession of
the facts" The mayor had been in
formed that unless Swallows resigna-
ton was procured or he was removed
from office, that the state would COM
mence custer proceedings The attor-
ney general, however, explained that
while he might have sufficient evi-
dence on which to base an attempt to
GUST public officer. that that did not
always mean that such officer would
be crininaIly liable.
Discusses Lee Case.
Hopkins would not say whether the
case was closed so far as regards
Rad Lee, former police judge, who
resigned at the beginning of the up
heaval. He stated that some evidence
concerning Lee might possibly come
out in the trial of I. NJ. Blitz, charged
with attempting TO bribe public
