Success Due in Large Measure to Genius
of Durant

One of the strongest underlying for the
popularity of both the output and stock Of Dulant Mot
ors Inc, is be found in the universally recognized
ability of William c. Durant a manufacturer and dis
trbutor of automobiles, which has been demonstrated
effectively during eighteen years of the approx
mate of years in which the automove industry
has attained the growth which entities it to rank
OF the worlds greatest industries.
William c. Durant, whose middle name is Grape,
which the family name of his mother, who
daughter of H. H. Crapo Civil governor of Michi-
gan, born in Boston in 1861. His business
began in his grandfathers lumber mill After several
years of experience in that trade he began to specialize
in business efficiency work, the curing Of aling enter
prses, along the lines which later made Henry p Davi
son, of the celebrated galaxy of J. p. Morgan & Co.,
partners, famous when he undertook these abors
large scale. When Mr. Durant only % years old,
he succeeded in eXtlicatng the Flint, Mich waerwolks
from serious financial difficulty and he later followed
up this notable achievement with other business trouble
Then he launched out in business for himself,
a manufacturer of carriages and other horsc-dIawn
vehicles including small road carts and increased the
output of the company manufacturing these latter Vchl-
Giles to 100000 annually before the motor car became

Than Year

In the first quarter Of this year, the Durant enter
prise had produced 746 cars, and although its output
for June not yet known, its actual production to May
81 reached 1856 vehicles and it is making desperate eff

HANDY Andy Says:

Hunters are most successful in
bagging the game, when they take
good equipment along. The best
kind of marksman cannot hope to
shoot right with a poor gun or
ammunition, but you'll notice that
good hunters come here for their
FIRE arms, ANN milton and other
hunting requirements.
Go well prepared, fellows, and
you'll have no disappointing tales
to tell when you get back. Come
in and talk over with US, the trip
you are planning. We will be glad
to give you some helpful points
and above all, we want to show
you what a fine lot Of Hunters
needs we have ready new.

the market with the "Star car in successful competition
with the Ford is not questioned anywhere, despite
the present capacity of the Ford Motor Com

Though the present capacity and estimated output Of
the Durant divisional plants for next year is only lit

The great possibilities of the automotive industry
dawned upon him about 1900 and he forthwith began

entered the business. He then took the plant and

Durant Companies Achievement to Date
WeIl-Nigh Miraculous

In order to appreciate thoroughly the remarkably
bright outlook for Durant Motors, Inc and its divisional
companies all of which controlled and operated
by DuIant Motors Inc, it is only necessary to glance
the remarkable record which this enterprise has al
ready made for itsef-an achievement unprecedented
in the history of the automobile trade OF any other
industry, in such extraordinarily brief period
Dulant Motors, Inc, organized in January 1921,
at time when the business world still suffering
from the effects of the postbelum defation. Within
little than year, it has financed the purchase
and construction of six complete and wellequipped as
sembly plants advantageously located with capacity
of 332,500 automobiles year Within this period, 1t
has designed and developed complete line of Durant
four and sx-cylnder motor cars every model enjoying
a splendid reputation and being in such active demand
place the companys sales sixth from the highest
in virtually all portions of the country while also en-
terng into with the Star Motor companies of
New York, Michigan and California, to produce in its
various divisional company plants and under the same
management, for foul-cylinder, fve-passenger cars
known the "Star" line, which is the special design
and product of Mr.. Durant himself

By MRS. HARRIET TAYLOR UPTON
Vice. Chairman, Republican National
Executive Committee

The whole trend in politics today is
for men and women to work together,
to attend the same meetings, to hear
both men and women speakers, to work
on the same committees, to have offices
in the same headquarters.
DurngA the last several weeks /
have personally met women voters in
five different states-Ohio, Indiana,
Missouri, Maryland and Massac achusetts.
Everywhere ] have found keen, intelli-
gent interest in the issues. During the
whole campaign, through reports re-
ceived mt national headquarters, L have
kept closely i'll touch with the political
situation as it affects the woman s
vote throughout the country.
Here and there it is reported women
do not understand the protective tariff,
and it is asserted this will cost the
Republican party their votes.
Women More Partisan
These reports do not frighten me.
| am convinced that the misleading
statements made concerning the effect
of new tariff rates ON prices will have
Il negligible Influence on the woman 8
vote. The women of America as q
whole know well that a protective tariff
means prosperity for the country. They
know that it will meah that all the
factories will be open and that all the
workmen will be busy.
The present campaign shows two
things clearly.
First Women are becoming more par
tisan.
Second The women who voted for
President Harding in 1920 are continu-
ing their affiliations with the Repub-
/ lican party.
~ The Conference on Limitations of
Arinamerrts has nullified the feeling
many women held for the League Of
Nations. 1T showed America could play
Il great part in the peace of the world
without making any dangerous entan-
clements with other nations and with
out the sacrifice of this country s in-
dependent position.

BUSINESS MEN TO
VISIT VALLEY in
TRIP To- PAGEANT
Hundreds of Los Angeles
Visitors to Be Feted
By Civic Bodies

Bright and, early next Wednesday
morning, Imperial Valley will be in
vaded by delegation from the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce who will
leave that city the night before on
"Goden Rule Sociability Tour en-
bracing n visit to Imperial Valley from
INLAND to Mexicali, after which the
visitors will continue east through Ariz-
ona to the Grand Canyon, returning to
Los Angeles the following week.
Practically Jail of Imperial Valley
remembers the visit made here last
June by the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce, when the Angelenos enjoyed
themselves so well that they decided
to come again. Recently the Los An
geles Chamber addressed a letter to
the Associated Chambers of Imperial
Valley, stating they wished to visit
Imperial Valley again and would like
to take part in the Cotton Pageant at
Calexico. At last Friday meeting
of the Associated Chambers, a cordial
invitation was extended to the Los An
geles chamber to repeat last spring =
visit and assured them of n wonderful
time. Now they are coming and are
looking forward to the trip with great
expectations according to Morris NJ.
Rathburn, manager of the publicity de-
partment.
Breakfast in INLAND
The Golden Rule Sociability Tour
will leave Los Angeles Tuesday, Nov
ember Z, at 1880 p. m, arriving at
INLAND at 6:10 "a. m. November s. Here
they will be met by members of the
Calipatria and INLAND Chambers of
Commerce, and the women of INLAND
will serve grapefruit and coffee. The
delegation will then be taken to Cali
patria for a short visit and later to
Brawley for breakfast. At Brawley
the guests will be turned over to Im-
perial and FL Centre Chambers of Com
merce and brought south to these two
cities, with luncheon at the Barbara
Worth hotel at noon. In the afternoon
they will be taken to Holtville and
Calexico by Chamber of Commerce
members from these cities and at night
will attend the Cotton Pageant and
later n banquet at Mexicali, departing
the next morning for Yuma and other
Arizona points.
Automobiles will be required to carry
the visitors from Brawley to this city |
and when it is ascertained how many !
intend making the trip, a call will be
sent out by the local Chamber of Com
merce for sufficient ears to transport |
the visitors in comfort.
A letter from Mr.. Rathbum, accom-
panying the iternary of the tour states: |
"No better method of solving com.
munity and sectional problems has been
found than q group Of business men
getting around the table. The Golden
Rule Sociability Tour will bring about |
this very thing in the communities
visited. This coming together of rep
rcsentative men of neighboring towns
serves to bring about better understand
ing and greater cooperation

MAN CALLS TURN ON
CHIEF; LOT OF WORK
HERE, HE WANTS JOB

Last week, Chief of Police Dave
Matlock made the statement to a Press
representative that I. w. WIS would
not be tolerated in Ell Centre and that
there is plenty of work here for all who
desire it,.
His words were copied by the San
Diego papers and this morning he re-
ceived a letter from r. j. Clark of
Point Iona, stating he had seen the
chiefs remarks and as he desired to re-
move to Ell Centre, asked his assistance
in obtaining job for him. Clark says
he is laundry worker and wishes to
follow that line of work in this city.
The chief admitted he had been
"called" alright and as he does not
operate an employment agency in con.
neetioa with the department, is 'pass-
ing the buek'' and will turn the letter
over to the Chamber Of Commerce for
action. Iueidently this would prove
that the Imperial Valley Press is read
as widely in other parts Of Southern
California as it is in Imperial Valley.

BY MRS. EMILY NEWELL BLAIR
Of Washington, Committeewoman,

OF Washington, CommitteewOman,
! Democratic National Committee
How will the Democratic party get
| the women out to the polls? First of
all by offering the women an oppor-
tunity to rebuke the present Congress
for its high tariff with a vote for con
gressmen who will oppose the present
iniquitous rates on everything that wo-
men buy for themselves and their fam
lilies.
Women are the buyers of the family
and they cannot, as buyers, face the
tremendous increase i'll the cost of what
they buy, without alarm.
They will flock to the polls to ex-
press this alarm in a vote against u
Republican Congress which has voted
for an increase in everything they buy.
In the congressional debates, Repub-
ican senators contended that this tariff
would increase the cost of articles
"onlv few cents.'' But women know
that a few cents on every article adds
into big sum on the whole.
Object Is Tariff
They will not agree with the Repubi-
can paper which said that the new tar
iff on wool would "only' increase
overcoats $3.50. To the majority of
voters in this country an increase of
$3.50 on the price of overcoats never
can be qualified by comfy"
We have attempted to bring this sit
uation home to women through publ
city. But we have also found many
other ways to carry news of the tariff
to women who neither read newspapers
nor attend meetings. In some cases
they have made house-to-house can
vases. In others they have arranged
porch meetings. Sometimes they have
employed the chain-letter system; some
times the button method.
Democratic women will spend elec-
tion day at their telephones, remind
ing women who are forgetful. But for
most part the Democratic party must
| content itself with presenting to the
women of the country the opportunity
that is theirs, trusting that the good
sense and self interest of the American
housewife will lead her to the polls.
