CHICAGO SHOW
SETS RECORD
HARD To BEAT

CHICAGO. Feb -(Special) At
tendance records show that the Chl-
cago Automobile Show which closed
February broke all records for the
% years Of motor shows. The at
tendance on the last day Of the SHOW
reached in excess of 0,000 The to-
tai attendance will undoubtedly eX-
ceed last years figures by that figure.
Sales made during the show also
exceeded those of any other previous
year which, in the minds OF the man
ufacturer proves beyond n doubt that
normal times have practically been
reached.
Manufacturers as a unit were firm
in their belief that no radical changes
in manufacture would be made dur
ing 1922. 1t would seem they say
that the peak of manufacturing de-
Velopment has been reached. although
of course they realize that this has
generally been the feeling each year.
However. changes that will likely be
made will all tend toward fuel econ
omy and Improvement of motors.
The Chicago Show has served the
purpose of drawing together closely
all makers toward the proposed big
export combine in which 130 com
panies, doing a domestic business of
over one billion dollars per year will
be involved. This export plan pro-
poses to enlarge credit resources and
lower the overhead costs of foreign
trade in automobiles. trucks and
parts.

PRODUCTION IS
INCREASED ON
NEW BUICK 6-54

So startling was the debut Of the
new special 6-54 roadster of the
Buick lire at the New York show
that II. II. Bassett, general manager
OF the Buick Motor company. will
be forced to revamp the production
schedule on the model. In a telegram
to c. b. Durham. assistant general
manager, Mr.. Bassett said that he
believed the company, largely be-
cause OF the roadster model. was
about to enter on period Of inn
mense increase in sales and that
every effort would have TO be ex-
erted to keep production up 10 the
demand.
Mr.. Bassett's message follows:
New special 6-54 roadster re-
ceived with wonderful enthusiasm at
the show. Our plans for production
of this model will undoubtedly have
to be rearranged.
~ am firmly of the opinion that
we are about to enter on a. period OF
immense increase in sales on all
models and that we will be COM
PEELED to exert every effort to keep
production up to the demand. There
seems to be a very optimistic feeling
developing in the industry and the
indications are that the dealers de-
mands will be constantly increasing
from now on as they are leaving the
show with an entirely different spirit
than they had when they arrived.
1--WE certainly have been thinking
along the right lines when we were
making our plans for the spring and
summer months production but am
inclined to believe we have not made
plans quite extensive enough. The
Chicago show win give us check on
the situation and if there is anything
like the same feeling that exists at
New York, we win certainly have to
keep on the jump to keep up.
would suggest that you get de-
tails in shape for US to go over inn
mediately on my return for every
thing looks extremely encouraging.
We certainly have rung the bell with
the new special 6-54 roadster. -

W|LLYS KNIGHT
MOTORS CHANGE
BIR I H-PL AGE

In less than nine weeks the entire
WHY'S knight motor manufacturing
plant of the Willys Overland COM
pany was literally lifted dut of the
Elyria, Ohio. plant and transferred
to Pontiac, Mich, where production
has been resumed. This marks a
record breaking achievement In
WHY'S Overland annals, according TO
H. II. HotchlSiss of the Overland
Arizona company.
The buildings themselves were not
moved, of course, but the entire
equipment was. including the very
elaborate electrical equipment. The
work of transferring this equipment
began late in November. over Goo
machines had TO be taken down,
loaded into freight cars, Shipped. un-
loaded. set UP and adjusted. Some
so freight cars were required TO
transport all of the material.
The most complicated task was
that of the transfer of the motor
testing department with it's so stands.
At Pontiac there were the buildings
the Flanders plant. and that was
all, not even electric wires. It was
necessary to install the conduits for
the high tension current with the
transformers and connect them up
with the elaborate electrical equip
ment brought from Elyria. Then
there was the exhaust water. gas
and water cooling systems which had
to be brought up TO complete eff
cheney.
At the same time. in order to con-
centrate all of the activities in con-
nection with the manufacture of the
WHY'S Knight motors at one point,
the aluminium foundry was trans
ferred from the Toledo. Ohio, plant
to Pontiac. This in itself was quite
an undertaking. A host of difficult
problems had TO be solved in mini
mum of time. Furnaces. molding
machines and a very complete set of
handling and conveying machinery
had to be taken down, shipped and
installed The new layout is con-
sidered as the finest of its kind in
the automotive industry today.
The remarkable success of this dual
moving operation was the direct re-
suit of whole hearted cooperation
on the part of efficient and enthusi~
astic organizations at the Elyria,
Pontiac and Toledo factories.
The long procession of completed
Willys-K Knight motors started from
the new Pontiac plant the last week
in January 10 their places on WHY'S
Knight chassis and will soon be on
their way to meet the public demand
for the car with the motor that i'm
proves with use"

FORD'S LINCOLN
PURCHASE SETS
INDUSTRY AGOG
Much Speculation AS To Price Revision AS Well AS
Production Methods To Be Put In Force. Leland
Policy Of High Quality To Be Carried Forward

tor company approximate $10,oo0,000.
The financial details of the deal do
not hold the interest of motor car
manufacturers as much as the ques-
tion of the ultimate use Ford will put
the Lincoln plant to. No details of
the plans have been announced as
yet although speculation has been
rife that production and manufac-
turing methods of the Ford plant
will be instituted in the Lincoln car
manufacture. There has been no de-
nial of the assertions made in many
quarters that with Ford in control of
the Lincoln company the price OF the
Lincoln will be set around s2500 for
the touring car, although there is not
much probability that this cut will
will be made Immediately.
So far as can be learned ii is not
the Ford plan to lower the quality of
the Lincoln. However, it is admitted
that a car of this quality can be
turned out in large quantities at a
much lower cost of manufacture by
the elimination of construction re-
finements and tests which have been
insisted upon in the past by Henry
Nj. Leland, the head of the Lincoln
company. The Lincoln plant is con-
sidered the finest of its kind i'm the
world, having a capacity OF 10000
cars annually, and few changes
would be necessary to place the plant
on a Ford production basis. Prepa-
rations have been made to continue
in production the Is different models
of the Lincoln as soon as changes of
control of the property are com
pleted.
1t was an early conclusion that
Ford would have little competition
in the bid for the Lincoln property
Others who were mentioned promi-
nently as seekers Of control of the
company were Hupmobile interests,
Mitchell. w. c. Durant and the
Studebaker corporation. every one of
which has denied at some time OF
other any intention TO bid.
The fact that Ford has known the
Lelands ever since he first began his
experiments ON the building of mo-
tor car, are probably responsible for
his desire to get control of the COM
pany. 1t is we'll known that his re-
gard and esteem for Henry NJ. Le-
land and his son Wflfred has been the
leading factor in determining his ac-
tion. Recently Ford made a state
ment wherein he asserted that II
would be a stain on the motor car IN :
dustry for the control Of the Lincoln
company to pass into the hands ol
outsiders merely because Henry NJ
Leland had been caught in flnancla
pinch. He stated that Mr.. Leland, IL
| his opinion, was one of the greatest
! motor car men in America.

ALLISON SPRING
COMPANY FILLS
BIC NEED HERE

One of the most important indus
tries in Phoenix and one to show a
substantial growth in 1921 is the Al
lison Spring works. This concern is
one of the finest equipped spring
manufacturing plants in the south
west and is indeed a credit TO Phoe-
nix manufacturing colony.
Not only are springs for automo-
hiles and trucks made in this plant
but wheel building and body work
are carried on to an extensive de-
gree. and a large business has been
built up in these lines. Since intro
ducing vanadium steel springs. the
Allison Spring company has used
more than so tons of this steel, in al
dition to many cars of high carbon
steel used in the manufacture of the
regular stock springs. The company,
however. specializes in Vanadium
steel springs. The scarcity Of this
product has hindered the manufac-
ture Of these springs until recently
when deposits were discovered IN
Colorado. It's effect on steel is to make
it tougher and more resilient.
A large stock Of springs OF all
sizes and types has been made up
and put in stock by the Allison COM
pany which also manufactures on
short notice special springs for cars
and trucks Extra leaves may be
secured for ell standard springs with
out waiting, as a splendid service for
cars with broken springs is main
tanned on West Adams street.
Power machinery of the most ad-
vanced type characteriZes the equip
ment OF the Allison plant. Every
phase of the manufacture of springs
! is handled by electrically driven ma
! chinery and additions TO this equip
ment are constantly being added.

DETROIT. Feb. II. - (Special)--
With the purchase of the Lincoln in
terests by Henry Ford at the sale
held on Feb 4, developments in the
automotive industry are being scrn-
tinized closer than ever before by
those on the inside as well as those
on the outside. While it is declared
that no unusual developments will
be forthcoming Immediately concern
ing the changes Ford will make in
Lincoln manufacture, these changes
are looked upon as certainty by
many. However, one thing appears
to be certain, and that is that the
Leland policy will be carried out for
the first time. According to Wilfred
C. Leland, vice president and general
manager of the company, it has here
tofore been impossible to carry out
this policy because of clashing fac
tions in the directorate. However, he
states, the policy to be followed out
will be the improvement wherever
possible Of the Lincoln, former
standards Of manufacture for the car
being adhered to rigidly. That there
will be changes in the merchandising
policy of the company is certain.
Under the reorganization of the com
pany better markets are certain to
be available to the company and Lin
coin purchasers will as a consequence
receive added benefits.
Lincoln prices underwent revision
this week. The price was reduced on
an average of more than SlOOO
per model, bringing the car, with
it's high quality, down into price
class where it will be stiff compe-
tition to meet. The possibilities
much probability that further cut
be instituted seems to be a foregone
conclusion among many officials oil
the industry and a production OF APP
| proximately 5000 cars in 1922 is eX-
| pected to be the schedule set. The
! production capacity of the Lincoln
| plant is about 10000 cars. Thee fac
| tory will undoubtedly make all its
own parts, many formerly being
| boughten, and it is a. certainty that
| it will soon be in a position to manu-
| facture its own bodies.
Perhaps nothing in recent years

automotive industry and OF the gen

Ford bid of $4,000, 600 came from the
Ford family and created near l1o'

that this bid would be raised TO Sll,-

point, which can be ascertained by
running a rod or wire through the
