AUTO SALES DUE TO FEMININE INFLUENCE, SAYS P. R. MCCORMACK
KNOX MILLSAP
MANON DE SHAZO

Every manufacturer of motor cars has lately realized that nearly every sale of a car is directly influenced by q woman It is true that a. man usually pays for the car, but nine times out of ten a wife, or sister, or daughter or some feminine relative will actually decide which car is to be bought.
 Perry R. Mccormack of Mccormack Brothers Motor company attributes the popularity of the Jordan closed cars to this fact.
 Jordan factory was the first to real- ize the great importance of pleasing the woman with their cars. Jordan introduced certain closed models which have since become the rage everywhere. Among these models was the brougham, the same model which was copied long after by other manufacturers and called by various names, such as coach, two-door coupes, etc.
 Jordan also knows woman's love for distinction and quietness in a motor ear. A man is apt to overlook such things as rumbles and rattleS and drafts. but a woman-never.
 So, long ago Jordan began design ing car that was easy to handle in traffic, that was pleasing in appear ance and upholstery, and that was unusual and attractive in every way. The result of this attention to details overlooked by other companies has been an ever increasing demand for the closed Jordan.

SOLID TRA|NL.OAD PEERLESS CARS TO. THE PAC|F F|C COAST
Record d-breaking Shipment Contained More Than 40
 Peerless Automobiles

What is said to have been the most valuable shipment of motor cars ever made to a single dealer recently left the factory of the Peerless Motor Car company. Cleveland, O.. consigned flo California dealer.
 This shipment consisted of a solid trainload of Peerless cars, ranging in price from s3,000 to 5000. There were 40 cars in the train, and each freight car held two or three Peerless automobiles.
 This record breaking shipment was sent out in answer to an urgent wire for more Peerless cars by the Cali fornia dealer. It is only another indi- cation of the way in which high grade car owners are turning to the Peerless for the desired individuality and refinement.
 Tt has long been matter of rec ord that the motor car owners on the Pacific coast are unusually critical regarding the distinctiveness of fine cars. They particularly desire car which is uncommon and different "a car which reflects it's owners personality and character.
 Perhaps this is the secret of the extreme popularity the new Peerless enioys everywhere. There is no car which reflects good taste and good Judgment on the part of it's owner more clearly than this fine eight cylinder car-thats certain.

the Willys- Overland factory at Tole- do, Ohio, is scarcely able to keep one jump ahead of the insistent call for cars and more cars.
 On the twenty-third of February, ,449 cars were shipped out of the Toledo plant, this number constitut- ing record for one days shipments, in the history of the Willys-Overland company.
 By the early part of April, the fac tory will have built 50,000 cars, or approximately one-half of the mum Der built during 1922.
 Despite numerous devices whereby the efficiency of the factory force has been increased to a point where one man is now building 2.55 cars to one car last year. the company are expe- riencing serious difficulties in getting sufficient number of skilled and unskilled workers to speed up pro- duction to the necessary stage, that will allow the sales department to keep safely ahead of orders.

Keep the Motor Clean

Dirt and water are the worst ene- mics of the mechanical units of a car, and the more intricate the machine the greater is the damage. When dirt or dust gets into the gears and other parts, mixed with lubricat ting oil, it makes dangerous grinding materi- al.
