Another Dodge Car
Added to Equipment
of Woman Jobber

The only m tobacco jobber in
the United States has purchased still
another Dodge Brothers business car.
She is the company of L. Marks &
Co.. InG. wholesale to%bacconists Of
Seattle. Louis Marks, president and
organizer of the firm, commenced bus
mess here some 10 years ago, and,
with bundles under his arm. was seen
late into the night delivering orders
for cigars and tobacco that he had
solicited earlier in the day. But the
conductors on the street cars soon OBJ
jected to making freight deliverers''
Of their c~onveyances, and Marks was
forced to add a delivery boy to his
staff; and then. one gladstone day d
horse and wagon were added to the
Marks equipment. But the horse was
so small. and the orders so large that
overwork and overburden reused the
ire of the humane society with the
result that q light delivery car was
brought into service.
This soon proved inadequate, and
while Mr.. Marks was doing X. Z. duty
at Fort Casey during the World war,
Mrs. Marks, who was managing the
business, surprised the boss upon his
return to civilian life by proudly dis
playing a fine new Dodge Brothers de-
livery car.
Since then l.. Marks & Co. have
purchased two more Dodge Brothers
ears to take care of their rapidly
growing business.

Washington Salesman
Finds Overland Car
Most Economical

G. e. Wheat. a travelling salesman
Of Yakima, Wash. is a big booster Of
the Overland touring car as Il means
Of economical transportation.
II have gotten as high as 81 miles
a gallon of gas and $4,000 miles on a
set Of tires" says Mr.. Wheat. The
good record mentioned was over a
mountain road with more or less sec
ond gear work. The tire mileage was
almost altogether on Yakima roads.
Records like these are quite i'm

10 keep travelling expenses down. ]

and the more I drive it the more I am
impressed with its service and ability.
"The body is made Of much heavier
steel than any Of the other light cars
and none of them have the baked on
enamel finish which preserves its lus-
ter through summer sur and alkali
mud.
Over a number Of years I am sat
isfied that it is possible to operate an
Overland for less than five cents a
mile. I have been able to do consid-
erably better than that but my car
after three years Of use has 0 come
anywhere neal covering its ultimate
mileage although / drive it daily in my
business.

STUDEBAKER PLANS
1928 DAILY OUTPUT
Of 800 MOTOR CARS
Extensions to South Bend and
Detroit Plants Being
Completed.

With a 65 per cent increase over
1921 falling short of the demand for
S%tudebaker motor cars in 1927, the
closing weeks of this old year find the
%Studebaker Corporation OF America
completing extensions to their South
Bend and Detroit plants which will
give them a combined daily output OF
600 automobiles.
These facts were contained in lnfor-
nation received in Great Falls last
week by J. H. Wellens, distributor OF
%Studebaker cars. 1t shows better than
anything else could the faith of the or
ganization in the economic condition
Of the country and likewise a tremen-
dous faith in the merits of their own
product is manifested in their plans
for 1923.
Records of the company show that
the production for 1922 win amount
to 10000 cars. This is far under the
demand placed on the two great fac
tories by the dealer organization and
months e actual construction work
on new factory units was begun 80
that most of the seven new plant addi-
tons will be ready for occupation
shortly after January 1. Five of the
new ones are being built at South Bend,
Ind, and two at Detroit. They will
add more than 100000 square feet
of floor space to the plants and give
a total of more than 100000.
At South Bend during 1923 it is
planned to construct 325 S~tudebakers
a day and in Detroit the production
engineers have promised 275 daily,
making the 600 quota.

Shift Gears Right;
Save on Gasoline

Here is a suggestion to motorists
for the saving of gasoline which may
be small in amount for a single days
drive, but which will be worth while
in q years Irving. The common prac-
tice to waiting to shift gears on hills
until the car has almost come to a
stop is one of the causes of waste OF
gasoline. According to the bureau of
public roads this fact is shown by tests
conducted by Prof. T. r. Agg of Iowa
State college.
The tests were made primarily to
discover the effect of various kinds of
highway surfacing material and differ
ent grades on gasoline consumption,
The conclusion with reference to
faulty driving is merely incidental to
the tests, but it is one which will mean
a small saving to every man who drives
q car if the advice of the bureau is
Needed.
The vehicles used in the tests were
equipped with an ingenious device
the gasoline consumed as the vehicle
moves over the road and another which
makes a simultaneous record of the
speed at every instant.
Exact instructions for the most eco
nomic driving will vary with the make
of the car or truck, but the following
pointers will be of value to all motor
lists:
In ascending a hill, don't wait until
the last second to shift to a lower gear.
If you do you will not only lose speed
and overtax your engine, but you will
also consume more gasoline.
In the two trips over the same
stretch Of road with a truck having a
total weight Of a little over four tons
the average speed was approximately
the same in both bases. In N case
gasoline consumption was at the rate
Of 40 miles per gallon and in the other
3.5 miles per gallon.
With more knowledge concerning
economic driving a considerable reduc-
ton can be made in the 1000, 900, 900
gallons of gasoline consumed each
wear,

Is 1t Right to Tax
Radiator Emblems

Is a radiator emblem on an auto
mobile properly an accessory, and tax
able as such under the internal reve-
nue. act?
The sales tax regulations Of the
treasury department says it is, and
fixes the tax at 5 per cent. The Ma
tional Motorists association contends
that it is not and has asked, in the
name of affiliated clubs throughout
the country, that the tax be eliminated.
Under the sales tax section of the
law, regulations must be drawn for the
purpose of interpreting the revenue act
and deciding what is or is not tax
able. This section includes the term
accessories" and the regulations as
drawn hold that a radiator emblem
comes within this category.
In taking up the cudgel on behalf of
affiliated clubs to which the 5 per cent
tax in the aggregate represents a large
amount, and in the case of some clubs
as much as $1,000, it is contended that
the emblem ON a radiator is not neces-
sary to the functioning of the machine,
that it is instead a decoration or or
nament, and that it is not an access
sorry as contemplated by the congress
in enacting the act.
This question will be argued before
the solicitor of internal revenue, based
on a brief which has been filed set
ting forth the contentious of automo-
bile owners affiliated with N. M. A.
clubs. 1t is hoped that a decision IA
,orable to motorists will be rendered.
One point being stressed in the ar
gument is that it is the paid up mem
bership card in the N. NJ. A. which
Oh, rs n mcdonnell 0pL ~
titles him to the facilities afforded by
affiliated clubs. The emblem furnished
members, it is suggested, is merely
prima facie evidence of such member
ship. For example, it is possible for
a stolen emblem to be used on an au-
tomobile. Still another point made is
that the emblem of a fraternal order,
if so arranged as to be attached to the
radiator of a car would, under the rul-
ing in effect, be held to be an Access
sorry and taxable under the act.

oan Your Car
too Easily, Is Advice

Be careful of your alleged friends
who want to borrow your car these
days.
There is an epidemic of embezzle-
ment cases, throughout the nation, and
according to the testimony Of scores
OF motorists, the embezzling is being
done by persons who claim to be
friends of the car owner.
Don't loan your car to any person
who wishes to borrow it without the
proper references, say the authorities.
or unless you know that the person is
reliable-this warning is made en-
phatic by auto dealers following the
report of hundreds of cars embezzled
throughout Southern California by the
so-called friends of motorists.
In the case of embezzlement. which
is very different from ordinary theft
the ordinary forms of fire and theft
insurance do not protect the car own
er, and he is out of luck if his car is
embezzled. according to a statement
from the club insurance department.
The question of embezzlement con-
Germs the original intention of the per-
son borrowing" the car.

How to Keep Your
Lights in Focus

When the headlights are out of focus
it is not always due to the brackets
being bent. The trouble may be due
to the reflectors being loose, or if tight.
the padding may have worked out of
place on one side, causing the reflect
ors to tilt. Quite frequently, however.
the trouble lies in the bulb itself. due
to the filament not being conferred. The
only remedy is replacement of the bulb.
though frequently. by giving the bulb
a half turn in its socket the results.
though not of the best. nla still give
passable satisfaction. This trouble not
only throws the beams of light in the
wrong direction, but it nentralizes the
~nonglare effect of the lenses. which
are intended to function only with
properly focused bulbs.

KEEP GAS sTRAINER CLEAN

Clean the strainer in the gasoline
line once a month. In spite Of the best
care, some dirt is constantly getting

stopping the engine.

PRICE REDUCTIONS
INCREASE OUTPUT
IN DETROIT REGION
Manufacturers Are Rushing
Production to Meet I'm
usual Demand.

Production figures for factories in
the Detroit district show November to
have run considerably ahead of pro
duction in November, 1921, and to have
maintained a pace which will give the
industry another approximate 200, COG
month. Manufacturing in December
will show a gradual decline, owing to
the ~lateness of the season and the holi-
day inventory period, but will compare
favorably with any other similar
month.
Where there is continued large buy
ing of closed models, most of the open
ears are going to dealers for stocking
over the turn of the year. This is es-
peciaM true in the middle priced field
there being still large buying of open
models in the low and better priced
lines. Price changes and new models
in a number Of lines have kept a larg-
er volume of business coming through
than usual at this time of the year.
Pushing Through Cars
Manufacturers generally are rush
ing through a large number of cars
before winter weather complexities the
railroad situation. Shipping during
the early months of the year may be
greatly curtailed because of the rail
situation, and it is desired to provide
ample stocks against this. There is,
however, a large amount of ready bus
mess, and schedules are very conser-
vatively based.
Ford sales during the month win ex-
coed 100000, virtually all of which are
in the domestic field and due largely
to the recent price cut. Sales follow
ing the reduction have exceeded ex-
pectations and will necessitate the
manufacture of 100000 vehicles in De-
cember despite inventory period. Clos
ed car business is about % per cent of
the total. Tractor manufacturing is
approximately 200 daily.
Schedules for Month
Chevrolet Is building 1900 cars
