the Star which has sold in large
numbers from coast to coast since its
inception. Since introducing the Star,
Durant has announced no price re-
auctions and it is not known by the
distributors here whether any are in
tended.
What About Chevrolet?
The Chevrolet always Has been
considered by the public as 4 compel
itor of Ford. That there is some
thing to this belief is indicated that
the price differential never has been
great.
Recently the WHY'S Overland com.
pany announced drastic price reduc-
tons on its Overland, a four-cylinder,
lightweight car, which enjoys great
popularity all over the country.
Immediately the cry went up, "The
Overland is trying to invade the
Ford price field" The same cry was
emitted when Chevrolet announced
price cuts about the same time.
The public is now wondering If
such manufacturers as Chevrolet,
Overland. Star and Gray will an
nounce still lower prices now that the
Ford has again been reduced.
"They will have to-" is the way
the public, views it. But dealers
think otherwise. They say that their
products already are selling at rocl;-
bottom prices and they do not see
how further reductions could possibly
be made.
Price, it will be remembered, has
been Ford's one trump card from the
very beginning. He has always led
in price-cuttinc movements, as for
example, the reduction made shortly
following the close OF the war, that
precipitated a general break in auto
mobile prices.
While dealers in low-priced cars
are scratching their heads nd wonder
ing what's coming next. the publie--
the ultimate consumer--is chuckling
over the move by Ford, well knowing
that it is all to its benefit.

Ford models, embodying higher radia-
tor, improved lines and other changes.
According to local Ford dealers more
than ever the Ford becomes the
worlds greatest motor car value.
The following statement was issued
by a representative of the San An
tonic Ford dealers following announce
ment Of reductions:
"The San Antonio authorized Ford
dealers have received kilograms from
the Ford Motor company announcing
reductions in the prices of all models
of Ford motor cars to the lowest fig
ures in the history of the company.
These reductions are effective i'm
mediately.
All May Ride Now.
~More than ever, the Ford becomes
the worlds greatest motor car value.
"These new low prices, coupled
with the Ford weekly purchase plan
under which a down payment of only
So opens to the family of limited
means an unprecedented opportunity
to enjoy a motor vehicles of their
own."
Since announcement of the latest
reductions there has naturally been
much speculation Us to the effect it
will have on other manufacturers who
are ordinarily considered as COMPETE
tors of Ford.
Whereas Ford used to have the
low-price, lightweight car field al
most exclusively to himself, he now
shares it with no less than five or six
others, among these being Chevrolet,
Overland, Star and Gray.
But local representatives Of these
cars stoutly deny that their products
were intended to compete with the
Ford. "They are in class by them
Selves" is their argument.
About one year ago, however, W.
c. Durant, formerly head of General
Motors corporation, who played no
small part in developing Chevrolet,
announced the formation of new
company with the avowed intention
OF producing car that would COM
pete. with the Ford. This car was

so Carloads.

The San Antonio Overland COM
many. Willys-Overland distributor for
the San Antonio trade territory, has
on its books orders for approximate
ly so carloads of automobiles, ac-
cording to /. ID. Mckee, general man
ager. Fifty carloads are equivalent
to go cars, as each railroad car
holds five automobiles.
The only discouraging feature, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mckee, is their in
ability to secure immediate shipments
from the factory with which to fill
these orders. They have only three
new cars in stock with not single
carload in transit. he says.
During the month just closed, Mr.
Mckee says, the San Antonio Over
land company handled 240 per cent
of its allotment for that month or
220 automobiles. The September al
lotment was so cars.
With new models recently an
nounced, Mr.. Mckee anticipates
veritablc flood of orders. Everywhere
in the territory, he asserts, dealers
are clamoring for more cars.
"We are forced to sit idle and
hold our hands until the factory
takes steps 70 relieve the acute short
age. of Willys-Overland products in
the local territory" continued Mr..
Mckee. "Our dealers are in the
same predicament. They are receiving
dozens of calls for cars and have
not even SO much as a demonstration
car in their possession.
Each successive month since May,
the San Antonio Overland company
has set a new sales record. The

the short space of four years he Las
successfully filled the positions of
clerk, salesman, sales manager and
now assistant general manager. Mr..
Vance, moreover, is perhaps the
youngest man on motor row to hold Il
position of such great responsibility.
He is vet under thirty.
Vance has an enviable college and
army record. After attending Yves,
Texas Military Academy here, he en-.
tered Rice Institute at Houston
where he made four letters in one
year. He played with notable distinc
ton on the Owl football team.
Vance entered the first officers
training camp and won quick promo
ton. Had he not resigned his com
mission following his marriage, it is
probable that he would have attained
the rank of major.

Sour Dough Has
Stake; No Wife
BY United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10
Herman Peterson married Dorothea
in Nome, Alaska, and took her by
dog sled to his cabin far in the in
terror of Alaska.
By hard work the Peterson pile
of gold dust grew and Dorothea was
happy.
Then came the long Alaskan win
ter, and the two were confined to
the narrow limits of the tiny cabin
"a terrible test for two human
beings.
With spring love had flown and
Dorothea followed it, mushing the
trails to the outside" leaving a
sorrowing Herman at the cabin.
After five years she returned,
only to inform Herman that she
preferred single bliss. Five years
more Herman worked and then
came out with his stake.
Today he is free from Dorothea,
a sympathetic judge having award
ed the lonely "sour dough" II di-
vorce on grounds of desertion.

CHANGES WILL
CAUSE MIXUPS
Ell CentrO Manager Gives
Long Distance Patrons
Timely Advice

Attention of Ell Centre telephone
users is called to extensive changes
which will be effective in Los An
geles after August Is, and unless
instructions given by the telephone
company are followed, much con
fusion and delay in service will re-
suit, according to G. b. Whitney,
local manager for the company.
"The changes include new tel
ephone directory, and the installa-
ton of the Olive cutover, when new
machine switching apparatus will
be put into use to serve thousands
of business district telephones, and
more than 10000 Los Angeles tel
ephone numbers will be changed, -
said Whitney.
"The present OF February Los
Angeles county telephone directory
will be superseded August IS by a
new directory bearing that date.
Do not use the old directories after
August Is. Due to the enormous
number of books to be printed and
delivered, 275,000, or 562 tons of
them, it will be impossible to com,
plete distribution in one day.
"The Los Angeles county direc-
tories now in the hands of subscrib
ers will be worse than useless after
midnight of August 1S and call
to Los Angeles using one of the old
numbers after that date will result
in service interference. l would ad.
wise all telephone users to call in
formation and make sure of the
new number, or that the old mum.
Der has not been changed, when
placing Los Angeles calls after
August IS.
"The number changes in Los
Angeles were necessary, because of
the extremely rapid growth of the
city, which is comparable to the
growth of all Southern California.
Just as Los Angeles is becoming a
true metropolis, the Los Angeles sys.
tenn must be put on metropolitan
basis.
clos Angeles, and all Southern
California points are presenting a
great problem of telephone growth.
One of the mile posts in this year IS
expansion program in that city will
be reached midnight August IS,
when the big 'Olive cutover' will
begin to function.
