lHERICUS AUTOCO.

Americas can boast Of one Of the
finest Ford Service Stations in the
State of Georgiaa Undey the guild
Ing hand of Mr.. R~T. CTabb, Serv-
ice Manager, this end of the bust
ness has gown so steadily and rap
idly thab it has become necessary
for them to increase the facilities
OF this special end of their FORD
Agency.
This service feature is zuca T.;
is found only in cities Of several
times the size of Americas, and IS
a convenience that the local Ford
owners appreciate and recognize.
Formerly it was necessary for all
repair Jobs, no matter how small, to
be sent to the second floor where
the main repair shop IS located.
Realizing the inefficiency of this
system they installed a new one.
How we'll they have. succeeded can
! be seen by anyone who will drive
their Ford to their Service Depart
ment for repairs.
They viii be met by the Service
/ Manager, Mr.. Crabb, who gives
/ each lob his individual attention.
Should the car require only minor
repairs or adjustment, this is done
while the customer waits in Rest
Rooms provided for their comfort.
However, should the car require
more than minor repairs the trou-
HE is diagnosed by the Service
/ Manager, a repair order is made
and the car sent to the Repair
Shop with definite instructions as
! to what is to be done. The custom
/ er is advised as to the approximate
time required to complete the work
and this is noted on a chart Kept
/ in the Service Room on the first
floor, which makes available any
/ information a customer might de-
! sire as to the progress of the
work on his car. The approximate
cost Of the completed jobs is given
| the customer at this time,
/ When the lob has been completed
and tested by the Shop Foreman
the car is turned over to the Serv-
| ice Manarcr for his final inspac-
ton and delivery.
Although this system has been in
augurated only short time. it is
working with the utmost smooth
! ness, and any one connected with
+ the Americas Automobile COMPANY
would consider it a pleasure to show
anyone interested through their en-
! tire Service Department at any
time.

ord "lSo Will serve on the commission.
ana II was announced that the
actuai held work would be under
the direction of Homer ]. Gait. who
mas been an engineer connected with
the service since 1906
"A complete and thorough investi-
gation OF every essential feature of
the project viii be made" said a
statement issued by the commits
sion. THE selection of Mr. Gait
as the engineer in charge is the first
step IN that program. The commits
sion has arranged for the detail from
the interior Department geological
survey OF geologist to make a
reconnaissance survey and study OF
the geological features and of a hy-
draultc engineer from the same bu-
reau to make a study of the water
supply. Arrangements also are being
perfected for experts from the De-
partment of Agriculture to be de-
tailed for the purpose of conducting
any necessary soil examinations
'As the first step in this investiga-
ton will be the assimilating of the
data already gathered by state and
federal authorities, the records in
all probability will be removed to
Spokane, Wash, and the experts so
chosen will proceed with the work
of making such examina ton before
any field work whatever is done. The
field work will then be outlined and
approved by the Interior Departme mt
before field parties are organized.
THE organization of the work for
the investigation of the Umatilla
rapids project in Oregon will be in
charge of another engineer, who has
not yet been chosen, and the work
will start at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The same line of field investi-
cation with reference to this project
as in the Columbia basin area will
be followed"
