Chevrolet Company Head Sees
Record to Be Set
This Year.

c. Earl Dawson, general sales
manager Of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, has just returned to De,
troit headquarters from 4 two
months trip, visiting the various
sales zones Of the company from
New England and the East down
to Texas, and as far West az the
Pacific coast. He was accompanied
on the Western half Of the trip by
r. H. Grant, assistant to w. s.
Knudsen. president of Chevrolet
Motor Company, and A. r. Kroh,
manager Of the retail development
division.
"One thing that impressed US all
most forcibly on this coast-to.coast
trip" said Mr.. Dawson, lis the very
marked change in makeup Of the
men selling our cars. Increased
sales are coming not because pros
pective buyers are necessarily more
numerous or more ready or more
willing to buy than In the past;
they are coming because the sales
men are going after them, with an
intelligence fully equal to their
energy.
The statesmen today Is showing
| a very real desire 10 know every
| thing he can about his product.
He wants the straight OF 1.-THE
what, the how, the why Of lt-and
we are helping him to get it all.
| With such a combination as this
! can you wonder that we are con
fident of record sales for 1924?"
Mr.. Dawson stated that he ex
I pected Chevrolet to go over the
| top this year with the biggest sales
| in the history of the company.
! "Our production schedule. for 1924
| is on the most pretentious basis W.
! have ever had. This has been
brought about by greater values
put into the cars, the increasing
demand for economical transporta
ton, the greater purchasing power
of the public due to the higher
value today Of the Chevrolet auto
mobile dollar-155 against 100 II
i 1913-and the enthusiastic co-opera
ton Of more than 5000 dealers anG
IL 900 service stations Throughout
the country to give the maximum
of service and satisfaction to oul
customers.
while 1t is still too early to esti
mate accurately just what the yea
holds for US in view of our tire
mendously increased production
there Is this much that can be said
Sales are already running 21 pc
cent better than during the CORES
ponding period in 1921 under
stand the general average for tn
same period for all makes Of car
is Is per cent less than last year
sales--and the heavy spring an
summer demand, which we hav
never BEEN able adequately to NEE
in the past, is still ahead OF US.
Nineteen hundred and twenty
two was the banner year in the al
tomobile industry. Nevertheless.
Chevrolet went ahead by close I
100 per cent in 1923. The outloo
is quite satisfying that in 1872
we will break all previous records.

WIDER USE Of

U. s. Chamber Of Commerce
Recommends Development
of.This Transportation.

A general and more systematic

policy Of transportation develop.
ment, looking to the coordination
Of rail, water and highway trans
port.
The proposal was mailed today to
the 1900 organization members Of
the chamber for their consideration
and adoption.
Recommendation Made.
Fourteen recommendation are
made by the national organization
four Of them being related directly
to the welfare. Of the truck and
motor transport. and probably the
most revolutionary being that the
passenger car and truck users Of
the highways should pay the entire
cost Of maintenance, through a spe-
cial automobile industry.
The recommendation relating
more directly to the automotive IN
dustry are as follows:

TOOL FOR DEFEATING
AUTO TUBES QUICKLY

When repairing a pinhole in a
tube, all the air must be removed.
To remove the valve plunger will
quickly accomplish this. but pro.
vides an opportunity for dirt to
settle on the seat. To hold the
valve plunger down with a match
stick consumes time.
A tool for this purpose is made
from a valve cap which is drilled
at four or more places around the
circumference. A small hole , IL
then drilled in the top. and a pin
inserted, so that when the cap is
screwed in place the pin holds the
plunger down while the air escapes
through the holes.

Ancient Stage Coach
Is Purchased By
Henry Ford

BALTIMORE, Nd, May A.
An old stage coach, built fifty
eight years ago, has been sold
to Henry Ford by Frank j.
Goettner, of the Kingsville Inn,
Kingsville, Md.
Mr.. Goettner said the stage
coach had been built by the
Abbot Browning Company, Con-
cord, N. H., in 1865 and had
been used to travel the roads
of the White mountains.
Several years ago it came
into the possession of a New
Hampshire man who decided to
go to California and who hooked
it to his automobile and started
to tow it across the continent.
At Kingsville it broke down
and was sold to Mr.. Goettner.

there is the dislodging of tenants
who have built little shacks in the
city parks. Many of the buildings
are nothing but the meanest novels,
which disfigure the parks where
