son this morning upon his return

Dickinson; o. S. Hanson of Grand
Forks; E. J. Weiser of Fargo; r. r.

The plan of action of the company
generally is as follows: Four field

tions in North Dakota, one each i'm
Bismarck, Grand Forks, Fargo and
Minot. The field men will be under
the committeeman of the various

Mr.. Tollefson and Mr.. Remington.
They will travel through the district
finding out where they can give Gre
dit relief, send their report to the

qHck action from the credit COM
,any office in Minneapolis.
There also will be field man at
arge in North Dakota in connection
With efforts to determine from

asst due interest on farm loans and
delinquent taxes, so as to enable
them to continue operations.
NJ. o. Grangaard, formerly of
rogers, who served with the War
finance Corporation, has been named
ice president for North Dakota.
Capital Oversubscribed
The meeting at Minneapolis was
ttended by bankers from Minnesota,
South and North Dakota and Mon
ana, and convened under c. T. Jaf-
ray, president of the 500 lines. The
.10,000,00O capital stock was over
:ubscribed and as the corporation
formed privately it may do all the
hings any private corporation of this
haracter may do-increase its cap
tai stock and thus it's borrowing
apacity, and loan money as it sees
it.
According to reports from Mime
polls, North Dakota Is considered in
IN enviable position as compared to
many other sections.
The general idea of bankers as
given in Minneapolis was that CON
tIitions are on the mend generally,
nd that the chief work of the $1O,-
100000 corporation will be to aid sol
lent institutions which may be
handicapped temporarily by good but
slow liquidating paper and to restore
ropfidence by providing ample credit.

CONSERVATION OF
HIGHWAYS URGED
Should Reduce Truck Load,
Says Federal President

''The season is here when. motor truck
operators should give thought to the
conservation of the highways" says
Mr.. NJ. l.. Pulcher. president of the
Federal Motor Truck company. .An
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 not have the hard sur
face roadways to enable us to cover dis
lance as quickly as we can now" COIL
tinued Mr.. Pulcher.' land now that the
good roads shave been built all truck
men should cooperate with, state and
county highway officials by making un-
necessary the costly repairs which other
wise might be required to bring back
to condition good road made rutty
and all cut UP through too heavy loads.
In many states there are laws re-
Quiring operators to load but one half
at this season. This MAY seem
harsh to some motor truck owners, but
when you consider that if road is
spoiled your loss and that of hundreds
ore perhaps thousands of other truck
operators by delays and detours will be
many times greater than if you helped
do your bit with lighter loads on soft
roads.
Good roads are a national necess-
ity-everybody benefits from their re-
duction of time in transporting goods
and materials in an efficient manner
over our highways. We must main
tain these roads at the smallest outlay
possible too, to keep taxes down. So

OLDS FACTORIES
NEED TWO SHIFTS
Effort Made To Bring Produc-
ton Up To Requirements

Two shifts of workers-day and
night-havc been installed in all prin-
cipal manufacturing divisions of the
Odds Motor Works. Lansing. Mich, in
an effort to bring production up to
sales requirements. At the present
time more Oldsmob:les 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 production
of approximately 10000 cars since the
introduction of the new Oldsmobile
Six on October /, 1928. This is more
than was the total production for the
entire year of 1923. So far in 1924 the
shipment have been more than four times
greater than they were during the same
period year ago.
When the new six was placed in pro-
duction, the entire factory of the Olds
Motor Works had been revamped to
bring about added efficiency in opera
ton. A that time there were 1,500
employees. Demands for the new car
caused steady increase in employment
figures. bringing the total to 1853 De-
cember ! 1856 in January and .4.500
i'll March. TO this number can be
added 600 workers employed by the
Fisher Body company at the closed body
factory at the Lansing plant, thus
bringing the total number of those en-
plOyed in the manufacture of OldsmO-
biles to 5.100.
Early this month it was decided to
install a night shift in the manufacture
ing divisions. This has brought the
daily production of Oldsmobiles up to
more than SOD. Every effort is being
made TO increase this so as to meet
the spring demand for Oldsmobiles.
During the first five months theLhew
six cylinder scar has been on. the mar
ket, the sales have been 300 per cent
greater than they were during the same
months a year previous, and slightly
more than 600 per cent greater than
those of the same period in 1922.
Late last year. A. B. G. Hardy, presi-
dent and general manager of the Odds
Motor Works, announced a scheduled
production of at least 100000 Odds
mobiles during 1924. According to the
number manufactured and sold during
the first quarter, this estimate will be
considerably exceeded.

TENDENCY
! ON THE UPGRADE.
Packard Official Points
Out Price Increases By
Motor Car Makers

& In view of recently announced in
ereases in automobile prices and the
general talk in automobile circles of a
further tendency toward increases a
letter from DIR. Fl. III. Hills, vice presi-
dent of distribution of the Packard
Motor Car company, just received by
Reese Dunwody of the Packard Mo-
tors company of Alabama. local Packard
distributors is of unusual interest.
The letter gave a tabulation of motor
car prices which shows that since
February, 1923 there have been Al price
increases by leading motto rear manu-
facturers ranging in amount from$15 to
$3.50 with an average of 1898. Ser
4tainly the trend of the industry is
not for lower but for higher prices"
said the letter.
1t pointed out that during this price
increase period the Packard Motor
Car company in effect has made an
actual reduction in the price of the
Packard six. "A great deal of study
he wrote has beenmade by our engi
neerinS and manufacturing departments
in an endeavor to reduce the cost of
the Packard six and that work is still
going on but any gains that have been
made in this direction have been far
offset by increases in the cost of equip
ment which has been added as stand
ard during the last few months and
the addition of four-wheel brakes.
When we announced the Packard
six with four-wheel brakes we increased
the price only 500. If we had main
tanned the ratio to the increased cost
of manufacturing we would have had to
increase the cost of the car more than
$500.
I'VE could design and make So
600 car or perhaps a $1,000 car but we
are making a much better car than can
be manufactured now and sold for less
than our present price. We here have
had the idea and for years have fol-
lowed the policy Of making a very fine
product, believing that there were enough
people in this world who want fine
goods to make it worth our while to
furnish their requirements or at least
a goodly portion of them.
1.-THE point of all this is simply that
the Packard Motor Car company could
build automobiles of different character
and sell them profitably for less than
the present price, but it cannot now
build the present Packard cars and sell
them profitably for less than the
present price. We know that we have
proper place in the industry and we
believe oar present vehicles are admira-
bly, filling that place
