FIRST QUARTER SALES DOUBLED BY PEERLESS
Greatly Enlarged Business Shows
 Popularity New Models

fOpuidTlty NeW uOutiS
 New Peerless sales records, which began to be made shortly after the acquisition of the Peerless Motor Car company by R. H. Collins and his as- socia.es Is months ago, are continu- ing to be set up, due to the great popularity of the new line of nine models.
 First quarter business in 1922, un- der MT. Collins guidance, showed a substantial increase over that of 1921, the last year under the pre- vious Peerless management
 Notwithstanding this increase of last year, the first three months of 1923 reveal that more than twice as in January. February and March as during the same months in 1922.
 This more than 100 per cent sales increase brings out strikingly the enthusiastic reception and greatly enlarged demand that the New Peer less, introduced late last summer, has met with from the motoring public" declares Mir Collins, the company's president and general manager, in an announcement made in Cleveland.
 The company, only few weeks ago, completed large addition to its output facilities. The continued increased SdIeS Of FeeFIeSS cars nave, however. already necessitated the use Of all this additional space.
 Output has been increased several times since January 1 in response to greater demands from distributors and dealers, and. MT. Collins says. is entirely justified by the steady growth in dealer sales. Close to ca pacity output of the enlarged plant is already imperative.

STEADY GROWTH |S
 NOTED IN DEMAND
 FUR CLOSED GAR
Hudson-Essex Dealers Report 75 Per Cent of Output
 Closed Type

Among the marked tendencies in the automobile industry of the past five years has been the steady growth of the closed car. In 1916 only slightly more than 1 per ccnt of all the cars manufactured in the country were closed. This percentage has steadily risen until today more than 25 per cent are closed models.
 Pryor Motor company. Hudson and Essex dealers. have just received fig ures in regard to closed car produc- ton. The Hudson Motor Car com pany which manufa cures both Hud- son and Essex cars. has for the past two years led all manufacturers in the production of closed models, it is said. Their output is now D per cent closed cars.

announced the Hudson and the Essex coach models. They had foreseen that the demand was to be for closed cars. yet people did not wish to pay S500 tC $500 difference between the closed and open models. The coach was the embodiment of two clearly marked ideas. first a closed car of sound value: second, closed car at not greatly more than the price of the open model.
 The first of these ideas was ob- tained by putting q coach body on the regular Hudson and Essex chas- sis. There was no change in the quality of these in making the coach model: in short. al no time was it considered permissible to sacrifice the chassis and engine value in order to leave a wider cost margin for the body.
 The second was obtained by build ing 9 closed body substantial and se-vieeable in every respect but omit ting many qf the unnecessary e%- tras which tended to make closed bodies as q whole so expensive. The materials used in this body were the best obtalnable. 1t is said.

FARM TRADE BETTER

Another favorable indication for the fall is the fact that rural trade conditions, in the main, are much fm proved. Trade reports from Iowa show that the farm demand for motor vehicles is 50 per cent to 300 per cent better than last year. More cash buyers are reported in Kansas.
 Demand f0r|lignt trucks is reported good in most sections of the country. There is a favorable market for heavy trucks in Illinois. Indiana, Pennsyl- vania and parts of Ohio, as well as other points. where there is consider able industrial activity.

CRUDE RUBBER
Consumption Is Still Behind Produce
 tiOn, Says Miller


 ton, Says Miller
 Three hundred and seventy we rubber manufacturers in the United States and Canada reported to the Rubber Association of America that in 1922 they used 275.2S5 tons of crude rubber. Publication of these figures shows that rubber consump- tion Is still behind production inas- much as crude rubber imports into the United States for the year amounted to 2s0,97o tons. A very large portion of all the rubber prod ucts goes into tires Miller tire off cials estimate.
 Since the worlds output in 1922 was 36S.5oo tons, it will be seen that production was considerably ahead of demand even though restrictive measures had been put into effect to a certain extent last year.
 A recent tire survey brings out the fact that the demand for tires in 1922 averaged 2.17 tires per car, as com pared with 4S5 in 1916. The de- creased requirements are explained by the fact that cord tires have al most completely supplanted fabrics on all cars other than the smaller ones. Consequently, motorists today are getting a great deal more service from tires than they did five or six years ago, according to Miller tire experts

more successful and succeeded in

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. Thomas J. SimOns, Minister

Next Sunday morning the theme OF
the sermon will be: "The Sagacity of
Jesus" II you were at the morning
preaching service last Sunday you will
remember what a delightful anthem
the Adult choir gave us. We can hard
ly keep from expatiating upon it too
deliberately. 1t makes US expect very
much next Sunday morning.
We are looking to have a REPETITION
of the unusual attendance of last Sun
day In the schools The Senior school
was conspicuously predominant in its
membership. May the minds and the
hearts Of all the people be turned TO
the study of Gods word. Look in on
tie Junior school next Sunday and
see what a delightful occasion 1t is.
In the evening at six thirty the
Christian Endeavor will meet. While
attendance last Sunday was good the
number will probably be larger next
Sunday evening. The good that the
young people do themselves and each
other by putting their beliefs into
action is incalculable.
At TIN evening preaching hour the
minister will speak on the ~enigmatical
theme Armistice or Armagedon. Next
Monday, you know. Is Armistice Day.
The Junior choir will sing. There is
a charm in the young voices that Is
hard to duplicate anywhere.

CLUB BANQUET
EARLY In DEC.
Arrangement Being Made for Annual
Club Entertainment In New
Auditorium

At the regular monthly meeting or
the Commercial Club Tuesday eve
ming, Il was decided to hold the Clubs
anniversary banquet and entertain
ment at the new Auditorium The
big Corn Show and Frolic While the
Club expressed a preference for Thurs
day evening, December Is. this must
necessarily be somewhat of a tenta-
tive date, because Of doubt as to the
exact time the building will be heat
ed and ready for public use 1t is
possible the Corn Show may have TO
be delayed beyond the dates first Sc
lected to give the Auditorium work
men a little more time to complete
the interior finish. However, they are
pushing the work as rapidly as posi-
bic, and we mus say that 1t has been
a great satisfaction to see the system
and speed with which the contractors
and their various crews have worked.
They have scarcely lost an hour since
he work began, and the Nelson Con-
strucion Company has certainly dis
played high class workmanship on
this Job.
The Club banquet and entertainment
this year should be the largest and
perhaps the best Of tine many pleasant
annual functions enjoyed by its men,
bers and their families, because OF
the magnificent new Auditorium and
its extensive equipment and room for
public gatherings Everybody who car
should certainly arrange to enjoy this
occasion.
II-l-. H. Tl..l ly vv. Ill. or-.
versary function Is for the Club mem
hers and their families and IL other
citizens of Miller wish to participate
they must join the Club by sending
in their names to the officers before
the XXI Club meeting December 4th.
However, Tire Club bylaws permit
members of the Club i'm good standing
to invite friends outside Of Miller as
their guests upon the purchase of
necessary ticket and announcement to
the ticket committee that such tickets
are for outside guests. This gives
members a splendid opportunity to
offer entertainment TO friends in near
by towns or in the country. where
they can readily drive to Miller, or
esen to visitors they are entertaining
at their homes And cerralniy nc
nicer entertainment could be offered
10 friends. Just think of what a fine
banquet can be held in that big din
ing hall. the dance and entertainment
in that commodious and handsome
auditorium, and the enjoyment of q
great crowd of happy people.
IL may be stated without undue i'm
modesty that Miller has n Of the
very finest and largest Auditoriums
in the state, and we want the people
to know il and enjoy 1t.
