All of the letters were written in
1901 by ]. w. Packard, president OF
the Ohio Automobile Company,
maker of the original Packard car.
In one letter Mr.. Packard wrote that
he regretted to say that he did not
have one single spark plug in stock"
He explained in a later letter that
his company was forced to import
spark plugs from Europe to obtain
the most reliable plug made.
ut should hardly be necessary to
carry an extra pneumatic tire in
stock" he wrote in another letter.
"These tires are very durable and
it is exceptional to have trouble with
them. We could always ship one
from here on Geographic order"
That the ~Wsntinual striving for
quality in Packard cars started with
the making Of the first cars a quar-
ter of q century ago is indicated in
paragraph of one letter which
reads: Parts which are apt to give
out on our carriage are very few.
There is not a bolt on the carriage
which is not rivcted; pinions, gears,
etc, have never in our experience
been broken"
In reply to an inquiry from Mr..

Railroads Buying
Special Auto Freight Cars

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 29.-Train-
loads of automobiles were the an
swer of the Paige Detroit Motor
Car Company to demands of it's
dealers for Paiges and Jewetts for
January sales, according to Mr..
Harry NJ. Jewett, president.
One distributor, The Paige-De
troit Company of New England took
three solid trainloads during the
month. Other trains were dispatch
ed from the Paige and Jewett plants
to the st. Louis distributor Chicago,
Minneapolis, Des Moines and Phil
adelphia.
AS an instance OF what can be
expected is a recent clipping from
the Boston Herald:
IAN interesting development In
the New England automobile in
dustry is the recent arrival of
a special train loaded with Paige
automobiles. The Great Northern
Railway. anticipating an active
year 10 the motor industry. re-
Gently placed an order for 500
automobile freight cars with the
pany. and are now receiving de-
liveries. Being temporarily in n
position where the cars were ne:
needed for immediate requirements,
the Great Northern gave permits
sion to the Paige Detroit Motor Car
Company Of Detroit to use 80 of
them for a single shipment to New
England points. This solid train
load started from Detroit on Dec.
%, arrived in Boston Dec. 81, and on
Jan. returned to Detroit, an
especially good transportation rec
ord for mid winter.
LAS q straw showing the trend of
activity in the automobile industry
the action Of the Great Northern
Railway in equipping itself to handle
a large and increasing motor bust
ness is significant, and goes a long
way TO prove that production of
motors and accessories, both for
pleasure and business purposes, is
ever on the increase. Automobile
manufacturers, distributors and
dealers are already planning for a
busy season, and that 1924 will
prove another record breaker in the
motor industry is generally conced-

gnsoline. In the South Dakota Plan,

plus his share Of the loss of revenue
on state funds thus diverted, plus
the Inconvenience of having to go

The sum of this invariably equals
the price of gas atS the stations of
the refiners and gas vendors.
"Hippodromic plans for endeavor-
! ing to upset the law of supply and
demand and force the refiners to
lower prices can not be expected to
! benefit the motorist. AS matter
| of fact. they tend to blind him to
| the fact that it's the use he obtains
from a gallon of gas that represents
! its cost to him, not the price per
gallon.
MANY car owners are just discov-
ering how much gas they have been
| they will find that the real cost OF
gasoline is not going to be SO de-
! pendent upon price. They are also
! scheduled to discover that in saving
gas they will help to maintain a
large surplus in the hands of the
| refiners, which means doing share
| toward cutting the demand for gas
occasioned by wastage.
IF all the motorists would follow
! this example the N. NJ. A. believes
that gas prices would soon start
dropping again. 1t was inevitable.
at any rate, that the waste OF gas
oline this winter should reduce gas
stocks and send the prices upward
again, especially when production
was in process of curtailment.
Demand for gas IL almost 20 per
cent greater this year than last, ow-
ing to the great Increase in cars and
the more use to which they are put.
But the increase in oil production
over last year would still have put
the rehners in a position where they
would be forced to sell at a sacriflce
had motorists not taken the short
era of low prices as a tip to general
| wastefuiness. The only way out or
it for the motorist, therefore, Is
through thrift. It may be too late
for car owners to enjoy the benefits
Just now fading from the automo-
tive picture, but through thrift they
can ward off the possibility of a
sharp upward trend of prices"

with fuel. he says, wasting it un-
necessarily and paving the way for
the increases that have just been
announced.
"Just how far the present rise in
gas prices will extend" says, Mr..
Galley, depends largely upon how
much longer the motorist ignores
the fact that the price of gas Is de-
pendent upon the demand for it. II
the motorist. through economical
use of gas. will bend every effort
toward maintaining the large surplus

exception to the plan of using state

the case in South Dakota, denounc-

Crank Case DilutiOn
Cause and Its Cure
BY E. T. Strong
General Sales Manager Buick Motor

BY E. T. Strong
| General Sales Manager Buick Motor
Coz
Crankcase dilution, or the thin
ming out of the lubricating oil In the
engine, Is a subject that deserves the
| serious consideration of every auto
mobile owner. This dilution is
caused by the unburned fuel which.
despite the many great improve
| ments in carburetion, finds its way
between pistons and cylinder walls
into the lower crankcase, Present
day fuels require a much greater
amount of heat for proper vapor-
ization than those of a few years
ago, and in designing the carbure-
| tor unit every effort has been made
to prevent incomplete vaporizatlon.
The result of crankcase dilution
| is excessive wear on pistons and
rings. cylinder walls and engine
bearings, due to the fact that the
lubricating qualities of the crank
case oil have been impaired.
The car owner can avoid excess
sive dilution in the operation of his
car by observing the following sug-
gestions:
Avoid holding air regulator han
die on Choke" position longer than
necessary. II NC hSu w
| "Cold" position as soon as driving
conditions permit.
DO not idle engine or drive at ex-
tremely slow speeds for long periods
| Of time.
Drain the crankcase at regular in
tervals, the frequency depending on
the season and the conditions I'M
der which the car is operated. A
complete change is recommended
every 500 miles, although under
certain driving conditions in cold
weather a more frequent change
| may be advisable.
DO not flush crankcase with kero-
sene.
An engine in good condition and
in proper adjustment should show
some appreciable amount of oil con-
sumption. Check the amount of oil
in crankcase at regular intervals.
II supply does not diminish. 1t indl-
Gates excessive dilution and an in
spection of the engine should be
made to determine the cause.

Ford Uses 100000
Freight Cars Annually

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 20.-More
than half q million freight cars. one
fifth the freight car ownership of
the county. are used annually by
the Ford Motor Company's main
plants and various branches. accord
ing TO figures just given out here.
The average freight charges paid
through the Detroit offices direct to
railroads. that paid by branches on
minor shipments. and freight charges
on direct shipments made from man
ufacturing institutions to branches
approximates $7S.2O0OOO annually.
Adding to this about $76,O0O,OOO paid
by dealers on shipments Of autos re-
ceived by them. brings q conserva-
tive figure of $150.OO0. 600 paid every
year in freight charges through the
fundamentally of the Fofd Motor
Company.
An average of 500 carloads Of
freight are handled every day in and
out of the Highland Park and River
Rouge plants alone, and 1t Is esti-
mated that on the Ford Motor Com
panys account 100000 pounds Of
freight in carload lots are handled
every day in the Detroit district .
Shipping space economies, effected
through the company's unique meth
DDS. are seen in the fact that while
parts shipments to the assembly
branch plants are figured at 10 units
per freight car. in rail shipments OF
completed cars from the branches to
the dealers, only six assembled Ford
cars and trucks can be loaded into a
standard 36-foot Sox car.
The larger part of the Ford freight
is shipped with the Detroit, Toledo
&c Ironton, the Ford railroad, as
either the initial or participating car
rier and especial attention is paid to
the classifying of all freight. so that
not only the company but the dealer
as we'll receives the benefit of ex-
pert services in freight classical
