interview with newspaper men at the
headquarters Of John w. Davis, the
Democratic presidential nominee, said

announce their names.
He gave assurances that women
would have places on this board, as
they vote and l would not like to
be the one to ignore them" The
board. he explained, would not be
composed of members from each State,
as this would conflict with the ma

posed.

manager Mr.. Shaver said:
There are probably dozen men
now under consideration for eastern
manager" adding in response. to a
question:
"Franklin D. Roosevelt's name has
to be considered"

Helps to Keep Car on Road and Main.
tenance Cost Low.

Every time an unframed man does
work on your automobile he makes
the job cost more than it would II
done by skilled workmen." says A. G..
Ieller. president of the Michigan State
Automobile School, Detroit.
Years ago when the automobile
was uncertain in its actions and pure
ly luxury. anything that tended to
keep it in the garage and off the road
most certainly saved the owner of it
money.
To-day the automobile Is a ire
mendously important transportation
medium. A registration of over To-
600, 900 vehicles in this country proves
it to be a necessity of the first rank.
Therefore its service is a necessity
as well. An automobile in the repair
shop is an investment that is not
bringing in any return. Service on it
must be prompt and efficient as the
public will not tolerate transportation
delays. Old service methods are very
rapidly going into the discard and the
service station of 1924 is essentially
business place.
The grease diving idea must be
eliminated and proper automotive
training substituted for it if We are
to keep the motor car to its highest
efficiency"

Overland Champion Cut
-Willys-Knight Sc
! dan Reduced 500.
DEMAND IS HEAVY
Decrease in Production
Costs Results in Slash
ing Of Prices.

No better indication Of the In
creased demand for Willys-Knight and
Overland closed cars during the cur.
rent winter can be given than the an.
nouncement from Willys-O Overland
headquarters that prices on two of its
most popular enclosed types have been
slashed as result of factory output
in excess of all original anticipations
According to the announcement the
price reduction affects the Overland
Champion model. which has been re-
duced to $655 from $G9j. cut OF
$40. while the Willys-Knight stand
ard sedan has been reduced 500 TO
$&95, reports l. ID. Mckee of fhe San
Antonio Overland Company. All
these are Toledo factory prices.
Accompanying the announcement is
a brief statement from John N. WHY'S.
president of Willys-Overland setting
forth the reasons for this remarkable
action:
Production Is Great.
January and February production
the first month of the new year we
MuuuidCtuTtu --.V1c cars, iuoIt Iudii
double the output of year ago. In
February We maintained an average
shipping record of more than 1000 cars
daily, closing the month with total
shipments of 22.136.
This remarkable increase in de-
nIand has stepped up production to a
point where our production costs per
car have been lessened. In the case
of the Overland Champion, for ex-
ample, we find that we are able to
maintain its position as the lowest
priced enclosed car on the market,
with doors front and rear. because of
the tremendous demand that has en-
sued since the original announcement
of this model last fall. We have
stepped up our schedule on this model
and even now are unable to cope sat
isfactorily with our dealers demands"
Lower Production Cost.
Parallel conditions are accountable
for the cut in price of the WHY'S
Knight sedan.
During the current winter, de-
r1and for closed cars outstripped all
anticipation" continues the state
ment. SIN no single year of the in
dustry has the sale of all-weather
models advanced so rapidly as it has
during the last six months. Our plants
have been fairly swamped with orders
for this type. The result has been in
crease in closed car production, with
a proportionate decrease in produc-
ton costs. in which We are DESTROYS
of allowing the public to participate

states Mr.. Chapman. Il have often

the driver, surprised at his strange
but friendly passenger. And then for
the little white dog there was from
under the hood the familiar hum OF
the engine that he knew, like "his

But from within the car came strange

TO SUPPLY DEMAND
OLDS MOTOR WORKS
PUTS ON TWO SHIFTS
Day and Night, Workers
Endeaoor to Make Pro-
duction Meet Sales.

Two shifts Of workers-day and
night-have been installed in all prin-
cipal manufacturing divisions of the
Odds Motor Works. Lansing, Mich,
i'm an effort to bring production up
to sales requirements. At the present
time more Oldsmobiles are being pro-
duced and more employees engaged by
the Odds Motor Works than ever be-
fore during the 81 years history of
the company.
With the production to date and
that scheduled for the remaining days
in March. there will be total pro.
duction of approximately 10000 cars
since the introduction of the new Odds
mobile six on October 1. 1923. This
is more than was the total produc-
ton of the entire year of 1928. So
far in 1924 the shipments have been
more than four times greater than
they were during the same period a
year ago.
When the new six was placed in
production, the entire factory of the
Odds Motor Works had been revamped
to bring about added efficiency in
oneration. At that time there were
1900 employees. Demands for the new
car caused steady increase in en-
ployment figures, bringing the total to
26S3 December 1; 1856 in January
and 1900 in March. To this number
can be added GOO workers employed by
the Fisher Body Company at the
closed body factory at the Lansing
plant, thus bringing the total number
of those employed in the manufacture
of Oldsmobiles to 800.
Early this month il was decided to
install night shift in the manufac-
-uring divisions. This has brought
sc daily production of lOldsmobiles un
to more than 500. Every effort is
being made to increase this So ms to
meet the spring demand for Oldsmo-
biles.
During the first five months the
new six-cylinder ear has been on the
market. the sales have been 800 per
cent greater than they were during
the same months wear previous. and
slightly more than GOO per cent greater
than those of the same period in
1Q.1-2:.
Late last year 4. B. c. Hardy. pres
ident and general manager of the Odds
Motor Works. announced scheduled
production of at last 100000 Odds
mobiles during 1924. According to
the number manufactured md sold
during the first quarter this estimate
will be considerably exceeded.

SPITZ DOG IS LOST
AS HE FOLLOWS VOICE
OF FAVORITE MOTOR
Takes Position on Running
Board But Car Not
His Masters.

~Sammie,' pure white Spitz dog,
late of st. Johns, Mich. and now So
journing elsewhere, was led away from
home last fall by faithfully following
the "voice" of his favorite motor car
engine, says report to the ,Manford
Cadillac Company.
That explains why there Is a big
vacancy in the home of st. Johns
dry goods merchant and in the heart
of small boy who lost his boon COM
panion. That explains also a series
of "lost" advertisements in Detroit
papers by the father of the small boy,
who still hopes to find the fanny pet.
George III. Chapman. at whose resi-
dence Sammie had made his home for
nearly five years, it seems, had pur-
chased a Cadillac seven passenger sub
urban, and the furry. white sentinel.
with his black nose like the dark CEN
ter of n white pdrsy, had his favorite
position on the running board, often
travelling for miles before his presence
was known. When at home and off
duty, Sammie might have a friendly
bark for passing vehicles, but for rid
ing there was but one car and that
was his owners.
Such had been his "home life" when
one day ut the end of September of
last year another Cadillac suburban,
coming through st. Johns. paused be-
fore Mr.. Chapman's house while the
occupants read the detour signs. The
car looked familiar. There was Sam
mics favorite place on the running
board. and the hum of the eight -cylin-
der engine was sound like home to
him. That was "his" car. He hoped
aboard.

Compare Studebaker zUith Cars
at Twice Its Price

The chief difference between Studebaker
and many cars selling at twice its price is
this:
Studebaker produces distinguished quality
cars in quantity for those who want value,
as against producing cars of equal quality,
in small quantity, for those who want Tex
clusiveness. The quality is the same.
Studebaker is the worlds largest producer
of quality cars. Studebaker cars are manu-
featured efficiently and more economically.
That's why prices are so low.
See a Studebaker and compare. There is
no finer car.

Simple arithmetic

Why Studebaker can offer a quail
ity car at present Studebaker prices
is simple arithmetic.
We've cut manufacturing costs
and that reflects itself in Studebaker
prices. Remember, selling prices of
all cars are based on manufacturers
costs, not on quality of material not
on workmanship.
That's why prices vary so. Why

Cutting Down Tonnage

Dividend, Says Pulcher.

"The season is here when motor
truck operators should give n thought
to the conservation of the highways, "
says NJ. l.. Pulcher, president of the
Federal Motor Truck company in a
letter TO the Koehler-Kunkel Motor
company. "All owners and drivers
of trucks should cut down their loads
to a point where roads rendered soft
by thawing or by spring rains. will not
be cut through to the subgrade.
"When motor trucks first began
to operate we did rot have the hard
surface roadways to enable us to cover
distance as quickly as we can now"
continued Mr.. Pulcher, land now that
the good roads have been built all
truck men should cooperate with stat,
and county highway officials by max
ing unnecessary the costly repairs
which otherwise might be required to
bring back to condition a good road
made rutty and all cut up through too
heavy loads.
"In many states there are laws re.
curing operators to load but one-half
capacity Mt this season. This may
seem harsh to some motor truck own
ers but when you consider that if a
Soad is spoiled your loss and that of
hundreds or perhaps thousands OF
other truck operators by delays and de-
tours will be many times greater than
il you helped do your bit with lighter
loads on soft roads"
Good roads are national necessity
everybody benefits from their reduc-
ton of time in TRANSPORTING goods
and materials in an efficient manner
over our highways. We must maintain
these roads at the smallest outlay pos.
sible too. to keep taxes down. So II
