Local Concern Appointed
 Factory Branch For Star
WhitIock-McDo Donald, Durant Dealers Will Distribute
 Star Automobile for Alabama

whftlock- Macdonald Motor con- pany, incorporated. Durant distribu- tors for this territory. have received a telegram from Carroll Downes, president of Star Motors, Inc. advis- ing that they have been appointed to establish the Birmingham branch of the Star Motor company of Alabama with complete charge of marketing the Star line of motor cars in their territory.
 President Downes muther states Although our production will be large, we will be unable to meet the universal demand for the Star cars. In directing your distribution, please keep this in mind and make your al- lotments to cover as wide a territory as possible"
 This announcement sets at rest the question as to who will have the privilege of selling the Star car in this vicinity. No statement in recent years received such widespread atten- tion as when W. c. Durant, former president of General Motors, and now head of Durant Motors, announced last spring that he would market s line of oars selling as low as $s4S {. c. k. Detroit.
 The creation of the Star car was the most important and brilliant ac- eemplishment of any individual iden- tified with the automobile industry since it's inception.
 smaYtsnsss in looks, thoroughness and modern design in . low priced car were unheard of until the Star was created by W. C. Durant, the pioneer builder of more than 100000 automobiles.

NEW PRECISION
 STUDEbAKER CAR
 SHOW REDUCTION
HoIcombe Returns From De- troit With News of Stude-
 baker Plants

Important reductions in the prices of all studebaker cars, effective Au- gust 1, were announced by the Stude- baker Corporation of America. through President A. R. Erskine. The reduc- tons range from $70 to $200 on the light six models; from s175 to $500 -r special six models, and from s135 to $225 on big six models.
 Although Studebaker has on hand thrilled orders for 15,000 cars," said Mir. Holcombe. it Is a Studebaker policy of long standing that our man ufacturing savings be shared with our customers-hence the reductions. The quality of Studebaker cars has not been decreased oneiota. On the contrary, they are better than ever and offer the greatest values in the history of Studebaker.
 "Studebaker plants, representing the investment of S3s,000, ,00O. operat- ing at capacity, produced 60,00O cars the first six months of this year, and broke all records. Everybody knows that standardized cars manufactured complete in large quantities, reduce the cost of manufacturing and mar keting and therefore give the greatest intrinsic value per dollar of price.
 By manufacturing complete mo- tors, transmissions, axles, frames. bodies, tops castings, forgings and stampings, parts makers profits on such Items in Studebaker cars are eliminated and one profit only is in cluded in Stakeholder prices. Buyers benefit accordingly.
 With $7S,000,000 of actual net as- set, including s3S,000,000 of plants. and an organization of able. experi- enced men and workers who partici- pate in the profits of the business. Stakeholder stands unsurpassed in TO- sources and ability to manufacture economically and give maximum in- trinsic value for given price.
 The worldwide popularity of Studebaker cars rests upon their de- penda.bie performance in owners use Proof of their dependability is found in the fact that sales of repair parts covering repairs from accidents as well as service, for the past seven months. averaged but s7 per car for the 10000 Studebaker cars now In op- eration. In the 30 months since Jan uary 1. 1920. Studebaker produced and sold 186,000 oars and are now produc- ing and selling at the rate of 126,000 care per year (practfcaliy double last years volume which was the greatest in the history of Studebaker) and yet total sales of repair parts this year are less than they were for the first seven months of 1919."

JULY ANOTHER
 RECORD MONTH
 FOR HUPMOB|LE

Information just released by the Hupmobils sales department is to the effect that July. just ended, was at least 60 per cent greater in pro- duction than any previous July in the oompany's history, the former record for that month having been established during the extraordinary sales year of 1920.
 It Is further stated that, in spite of the greatly increased production program, all cara built were shipped and the company enters into the cur rent month with no immediate in- dication of any decrease in it's sched- uled output. W
 The customary seasonal decline has not become apparent so far as we are concerned" said Tom Turren- tine, sales manager Cruse-Crawford company. "On the contrary. distrib- utors and dealers voice the general conviction that the autumn months will reveal as satisfactory sales in- creases, on comparable basis. as those of the spring and summer.
 However, the mine and rail sstua- tion will. unless 1t is quickly adjust ed, naturally present & most serious problem. one that Is bound to have decided effect upon all present pro- duotion plans.

Yanced step since the introduction of the automobile. for 1t provides for the first time a quality motor car, stand ardfzed in construction and operation, for a modest som of money.
 Since the announcement was made. the various Durant plants through out the county, in which the Star car will be built. have been prepared. Vast quantities of materials have been purchased, and production Is about to start.
 There were reasons why the whole country was very much interested in the Star announcement. It was only necessary to read some of the fea- lures of the car to convince the pub lie that MT. Durant had accomplished something worth while in the crea- tion of this car, for the Star features include: Continental Red Star motor, Timken rear axle, Timken bearings front and rear; spioer universal joints, selective sliding gear trans mission, single plate disc clutch, half elliptic springs, underslung; Stewart vacuum gasoline feed with supply tank at rear, electric lighting by Standard generator, stroamlins body, one-man top.
 The Star ear was first shown in tho capital of our oountry-Washingto and 27.ooo people inspected the car. which is sure to create new stand ard of value
 In New York recently ss.ooe poe pie saw the Star on Broadway, and 6 great number of orders were booked for future delivery.
 The Star car possesses the minimum number of parts without sacrificing strength. durability or appearance.

Under the direction of H. F. Cleve- land, the painting department of 1use-Crawford Manufacturing com pany has attained a reputation for reliable and dependable automobile painting. All work Is done under the personal supervision of MT. Cleve- land. who is thoroughly experienced in automobile and carriage painting and has a wide and practical knowl- edge of his trade.
 ''The proper painting and trim ming of an automobile" MT. Cleve- land says, "is something the motorist does not often demand. simply be- cause he does not investigate ehe plant and the men that do his work. The average painter of cars knows very little about climate and its re- lations to paint jobs and this lg- norance is a very serious handicap to the turning out of quality of work that will last for years"
 Experience is an item that should always be sought and demanded by the motorist. and the Cruse- -Craw- ford company wishes to impress upon the prospective client this principls: Make certain that you will be satts- fled with the painting and trimming of your car by having people of ex- perience and ability do the york;

The result Of this method of oon- struotion is an automobile of remark able simplicity, correct mechanical re- lation and attractive body lines.
 Any man will be proud to own a Star car. He will be proud of it's looks. proud of its performance, and proud of its general features.
 The Star car is made in a variety of bodies, which will include tour ing car, roadster, sedan and coupe, and complete line of commercial bodies suitable for the Star chassis.
 Mir. Macdonald of the Whitlock- Mcdonald Motor company was very much pleased on the receipt of the telegram announcing his appointment as Star representative.
 "Of course we feel honored. for we have a deep appreciation of the re- sponsibility." concluded MT. MacDon- ald "We hope to have ono of the Star models and chassis on exhibition very soon, and the public will. be ad- vised."

|MPROVEMENTSON
 BUICK ARE MANY

No single season in recent years has seen so many improvements in Buick cars as the present one; and never has the Buick line been so com plete.
 The engine. for example, is fitted with longer pistons and connecting rods, adding to the smoothness and long wear for which the Buick engine has always been noted.A A new raar spring suspension has been devised which is undoubtedly the highest de- velopment of the oantilever type yet achieved. The frame. the transmits sion. the rear axle. the brakes, the bodies and their equipment, each shows the hand of the skilled de- signer by some new and valuable fea- lures.
 The insurance companies have rated all IA models as class "A" fire risks, pecause of the safety of their elec- trfcal and gasoline systems and have materially reduced the theft insurance rates. This means a big saving in insurance premiums over cars not so rated; 1t also indicates the close at tention to detail that has been paid to these Buick cars for season of 1923.
 As in the case of the six-cylinder models, the Buick our-cylinder cars have been redesigned this season. not merely in the sense of giving them 2 new appearance, but with the object of making them better and more ef- ficient automobiles in every depart ment of motoring service.
 These changes begin with the frame, which has been entirely re- designed. and continue through the important mechanical units of the car, from an easier and simpler method of oiling the rocker arms to an improved method of driving the speedometer.
 The body is larger and roomier. with lower lines and added grace of appearance. There are new and im- proved lenders. top, windshield, head. lights, side curtains
